Nope he just said he was leaving when Uncle Mark became a mod. Guess he couldn’t quit us.
Trump made me do it?

You have any clue how many black people on social media were talking about what would have happened if it was BLM trying to take over the US Capitol? A whole bunch thought these folks were treated differently on Jan. 6 and they didn’t think it was politics. They thought it was color.
Why protesters Code Pink stay out of jail
Peace activists Code Pink, known for disrupting congressional hearings, return to Capitol Hill week after week. And that's just fine with the authorities.www.google.com
Parading should get you a night in jail and released. It was such a non-crime that lefty weirdos could interrupt Congress repeatedly and "no big deal". "Well they weren't violent." Neither were the majority of people who entered the Capitol on 1/6.
If you are a righty protestor you get shot or locked up in jail. Protest violently for BLM near the White House and you get an apology that we so meanly treated you. We will even change our rules for how we disperse you.
U.S. settles with Black Lives Matter protesters violently cleared from White House park
U.S. law enforcement agencies have agreed to change some of their policies for responding to demonstrations on federal property, part of a partial settlement agreement reached with Black Lives Matter protesters who were violently cleared from a park near the White House in June 2020.www.reuters.com
Nothing has changed from my standpoint. Dan's absence from the Cooler (he wasn't really gone, he just wasn't posting) was of his own choosing. FWIW, while I reserve the right, I've never banned anyone. I'll continue to delete contentless personal attacks (including decent posts that have gratuitous slams thrown in) and will lock threads that have devolved into nothing more than food fights.
What changed is probably that the football forums got boring.
Got?
Friday can't come quick enough. We'll either be Pasadena bound or getting kicked out of the B1G.
Nate Silver had a bit about B1G expansion last week. My big takeaway was that IU is actually in a safer position than we might otherwise think.
Where Should The Big Ten Expand Next? We Crunched The Numbers.
Which schools should the Big Ten poach next?
Oh, we're plenty safe. There's just a couple knuckleheads on the football board who claim that IU will either eventually get kicked out or would be better off if they went G5 or some such. It's not nearly as idiotic as the basketball board, but it has its moments.
Advice: stop with the rubber and glue schtick. It's pretty lame.
Coming thru a "door"? It was a busted out window, and she was shot after she started to climb thru, while everyone else remained on the ground where they were supposed to be...
We can all see clearly with our own eyes, and I doubt you actually believe your own narrative. Here starting about the 2:00 mark you can clearly see her rise up thru the busted out glass and she's completely off the ground. They even enclose he image in the video in a circle and she is fully off the ground. clearly she's the only person who steps into no mans land and constitutes a threat. Had she remained on the ground (like everyone else) she would not have been shot...
False equivalency is not disparate treatment. Just like DANC tried to claim the "grandma" was treated unfairly, we find out when we actually delve into the story that she was intentionally trying to distract officers to allow other rioters to breach security. The judge who sentenced her to two months was a Reagan appointee, and based on a previous case when someone who had claimed to express remorse had actually gone on Fox and said she had made up the phony mea culpa, he decided he didn't believe Granny was sincere either. Fool me once...
So who legitimately is INNOCENT and in prison "rotting"? So far all those claims have been disproven. And just like with the people who committed serious crimes and stoked violence during the BLM demonstrations, the people charged with the most serious infractions are getting the heaviest sentences.
This guy was extradited from IN to OR and sentenced to 10 yrs for his conduct during Portland riots. That sentence is heavier than any Jan 6 defendant has received to date...

Now watch the videos Jan 6 rioters smashing cops with flagpoles, bats, spraying them with bear spray, and in the case of Babbitt and the goons she was with smashing windows and threatening members of Congress. Now tell us with a straight face that if the rioters on Jan 6 had been BLM that the shot fired at Ashli Babbitt would have been the first and only time an LEO's weapon would have been fired that day...
No, they hadn't been cleared. That's a lie. Ask the Capitol Police, who took them into custody.
What do you think Colbert would say would make any difference? Of course he's going to say they didn't do anything wrong.
Don't be a dupe. You got caught making a stupid statement and now you can't own up to it.
There were some scared little boys on the other side of that broken window. That Ashli Babbit just looked MEAN! lmao
Of course, the Capitol Police standing in close proximity to her on her side of the door didn't seem to worried. But hey, she was a bad-ass!
I could give you advice too but you wouldn't listen.
If it were worthwhile, I absolutely would.
I wasn't being a prick. I was giving you solid advice.
Advice: wear your prickness as a badge of honor. See TMP and DanC.
Yes, they had been cleared. They had been there for two days prior doing interviews.
If you want to get technical about it, yes, they weren't cleared to stay as long as they did, but they had passed a security background check and were known to security.
There is a chasm of difference between them and Ashli Babbitt. But you know that.
“Prick” is the insult of choice when crawdad knows he is being made fun of, but he just can’t figure out how, or how to respond. It’s a catch-all.
No they weren't. That's why they were arrested.
You're a clinger, so I don't expect you to admit you are wrong.
Great job so far. Don't get overzealous, though, in deleting posts. And even application of the rules is always a plus. "Nutso," yesterday, was apparently verboten but "prick," today, is apparently ok.
Comprehension , I was giving you solid advice as well on a much bigger scope than just reffering to my post but you didn't seem to grasp that.
I'm not always right and actually do admit when I'm wrong more than you'd think. I know I've done it on this board (or previous iterations) through the years.
That said, this is not one of those times I'm wrong:
The group of nine people associated with CBS’ “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” were arrested last month for ignoring instructions stay with a staff escort while inside the building, police said in a press statement.
“Members of the group had been told several times before they entered the Congressional buildings that they had to remain with a staff escort inside the buildings and they failed to do so,” the statement said.
So as I had stated, US Capitol Police had granted them access to the building - and cleared them to be there.
That said, that's not really the point. No serious person thinks what happened with the January 6 rioters and Colbert's staff are the same thing.
LMAO. The headline from you link is:
DOJ won’t prosecute group linked to Colbert’s ‘The Late Show’ after unlawful entry arrests, Capitol police say
They wouldn't have been arrested by the Capitol Police if they'd been authorized to be there. You are proving my point. They were in a place they weren't supposed to be.
You made a blanket statement - without qualifications. If you didn't mean it, just say that.
Speaking of stupid claims...
First of all Colbert's crew and puppet were not in the Capitol Building but rather in a Congressional office building across the street from the Capitol. They had been conducting interviews with members of both parties for at least two days, but that was during daytime hours and different officers work different shifts.. They were cleared in the sense that members of Congress from both parties had invited them into their respective offices willingly, and had actively participated in "interviews" with Triumph to be aired as comedy sketches on Colbert.
This was perfectly normal for people to visit Congressional offices prior to Jan 6. Now do we need to show you video of GOP Congress people hosting visitors in their offices prior to Jan 6, or will you just concede the fact?
The "incident" arose because of heightened security concerns by Capitol Police AS A RESULT of Jan 6. On the final day the crew was in the hallway and not a specific office basically wrapping up after the close of what is basically the work day. Since it was after hours and they were in a hallway of the building (not the Capitol Building) the police were "curious" as to their identity and processed them and detained them briefly. Again they weren't doing anything wrong, and it's likely the night time officers were unaware of what had been going on for the past 2 days and knew nothing of what the day time officers had likely become familiar with- Triumph "talking" to people.
There were no charges filed. I'm not sure that you can even accuse someone of trespassing if they've been there all day and were never asked to leave. Of course wingnut media (which apparently you watch) tried to apply some false equivalency. But the reality is that had a bunch of idiots not rioted on Jan 6 in the first place no one would even worry about a tv crew walking around interviewing members of Congress in their respective offices...
And here's another reality... If it was a crew from a right wing media site, like a "comedy" crew from Gutfeld and they had been there all day and the same night crew of officers had questioned them, YOU would be railing against the officers. You can't even deny it, because there are plenty of examples of you engaging in just that sort of false equivalency behavior. Don't make me look them up...
Sweet Jesus.
US Capitol Police knew who they were and at some point granted them access. They overstayed their welcome/didn't stay with their staff guide. They HAD been cleared to be in the building and weren't unknown trespassers. They were careless and it was well within the Capitol Police to arrest them, but they had most definitely been cleared to be in the building. No charges were filed.
How else do you think they were able to get into the building and do their interviews in the first place?
I'm not really interested in spelling this out any further.
Yes. Thank you for spelling this out for him better than I was doing.
You're babbling again.
Congressional offices are in that building. They weren't authorized to be there. They were arrested by the Capitol Police. They were not shot, as Ohio claimed they should be.
Do you know what 'unlawful' means? You destroyed your entire argument when you linked that article.
If you won't redefine your original statement, that crew should have been caught, according to you.

Again, I think you're effing with me/us. I've seen your posts and I'm pretty sure you're not this stupid.
How do you think they had access to members of Congress in the first place? Do you honestly think they just showed up and started doing their interviews? Unlawful entry - as stated in the article - simply means they didn't stay with their staff guide. How was someone assigned to them if they weren't cleared to be there?
Come on man. Really think about this. Are you actually suggesting they never had permission to be there and film?
