  1. I'm glad that you are privy to that information. I didn't know that anyone was or see it published anywhere.
  2. It is apparent that you don't know the meaning of the word deflection. We were talking about passing legislation and the timing of such. The amendment issue is exactly that. There are time frames in the rules. That was an example recently. If some don't like them, then get them changed. As to why I am here, why shouldn't I be here. The mods or owners have never asked me to leave, and your opinion of my presence means little to nothing to me.
  3. Post pics of hot Tri-Delts and I won't.. PS; They were the hottest at WVU in the '80's
  4. We are already at one of those options, the shutdown. The strategy is for those in Washington to get to one of the other three. How they do it is up to them. Unless there is another option that I have missed, it is just time and bitching and posturing on their part until they get there. The orange man in the White House says he aint budging.
  5. Deflection or is that actually the current rules of Congress? Maybe I misunderstood your post. Exactly how is it a deflection when talking about passing a bill and then discussing the current rules of how/when it is to be passed and sent to The President?
  6. No, it was said here passed. It has not passed the current Congress and simply needs to. PS: I think the ERA passed the 37th state last year. Will it now be added to the Constitutional Amendments?
  7. So then we are still just at theatre as the bill hasn't passed the current Senate. And if it doesn't or without enough in both houses to overide the promised veto, we are still back at a shutdown.
  8. If passed by both then why isn't it on Trump's desk to sign or veto?
  9. If McConnell had the votes to over-ride the guaranteed veto he would put the bill on the floor tonight. The Senate does not have the 2/3 votes with the current House Bill, so it would just be theatre. I thought I read something earlier today where there was talk of individual bills for certain depts, but then read that Trump said he would veto those if it was done. Something has to give whether it is a few more Senators or a different bill.
  10. If Trump won't sign it and it doesn't have enough votes to over-ride the veto, it does nothing to solve the impasse. Just theatre and a waste of time, and Trump gives no shits that anyone thinks it's his fault or if people think a veto will change minds. 1)Keep the government closed 2)Send him a bill that he will sign 3)Send him a bill that he will veto but has the support to over-ride in both houses 4)Impeach/Convict and remove him and start over with Pence.
  11. 1)Keep the government closed 2)Send him a bill that he will sign 3)Send him a bill that he will veto but has the support to over-ride in both houses 4)Impeach/Convict and remove him and start over with Pence.
  12. No clue what he is thinking (if I were him, I would be thinking of a way to tap Karen McDougal again). At the end of the day we are where we are because he is in the White House, and I listed the 4 possibilities that can happen next (or we just sit where we are at my first option.) 1)Keep the government closed 2)Send him a bill that he will sign 3)Send him a bill that he will veto but has the support to over-ride in both houses 4)Impeach/Convict and remove him and start over with Pence.
  13. I would think that the courts would shut that down in 5 minutes.
  14. I said I'm not sure it's happening, but I would hope so. Do you struggle reading thru your emotional tantrums?
  15. When us older folks sit back and look at the big picture of how things are playing out, the though should be that this is what is going on behind the scenes. Trump has his optic talking point to force a full on immigration reform bill from Congress that covers everything single thing from border security, to work visas, to current illegals, to family immigration, to HIB's, and anything else that I left out. Not sure that that is happening, but I have hope. At the end of the day, he's not budging (whether you like it or not) so it becomes very simple with options for Congress and it is now in their court completely: 1)Keep the government closed 2)Send him a bill that he will sign 3)Send him a bill that he will veto but has the support to over-ride in both houses 4)Impeach/Convict and remove him and start over with Pence. That's it. These are the four routes that we can go. I wish all of the decisions in life had this few options. -
  16. I kept my dimes, so don't know and no need. PS: NTTIAWWT
  17. Neal Brown didn't keep Tony Gibson as DC and I read earlier today that he has landed with NC State as DC. Wonder if he will try to stay with some type of 3-3-5 there.
  18. Let all us gentiles know if the next Bevo is a worthy red heifer so that the Temple may be built.
  19. Not at the Wal-Mart I was at this morning...... And it was not a pretty sight.
  20. You are a horribly confused alcoholic with so many errors in this post it is amazing you were able to push send/submit. 1) I don't snipe at other posterS except for Hugo (Bedouin doesn't count). So you were wrong here. Hugo is an unmedicated loon. I have never mentioned his LSU-ness once. I have no clue that he went there or not, just that he was banned from Tigerdroppings is the only thing I have ever mentioned about LA. I stick with mocking his volcanic diarrhea of posting. You were wrong here. 2) I am in no way anti-immigrant. Hell, even in this thread I suggested liberal work visas to help. I'm not a big fan of illegal immigrants,. There is a difference. Maybe put down the bottle and the haze would clear. That is your second wrong item. 3) SJL is an embarrassment to anything she comes in contact with. Her degree is from UVA, she is no smarter than the label of the the bottle you have buried yourself in and that looks bad on an institution with the reputation of UVa. That is your third wrong item. What is the conflict you suggest? Or surly you are not defending Ms. Jackson-Lee? How many times can you be wrong in one paragraph or is it easier to assume you were drunk when writing it? Kindly sober up or fuck off.
