  1. There really doesn’t seem to be anything else to add to this thread. Dems should take the same advice. Get back to talking to people about issues and how they can be helpful. They can revisit the SC if and only if they succeed in a massive blue wave.
  2. Heard this on Bloomberg news yesterday. This likely won’t have a happy ending.
  3. Collins could have sped this whole process up by announcing last week should would vote “yes”. Nothing in the past 7 days impacted what she said today.
  4. I don’t see Collins switching to a “no vote” 30 hours from now. I still think this is a done deal for Mitch.
  5. Collins sounds like a yes vote this morning. Flake sounds like a yes vote this morning. Kavanaugh is going to be confirmed.
  6. What is the upside to back stabbing McConnell at this point in time ?
  7. The Turtle will bully his way to getting the necessary votes. The Week delay for the FVI was a cover for Flake being able to step in line with the GOP. Collins can be bought off. Kavanaugh is going to be confirmed.
  8. Is that a prediction that Democrats will support this agreement ?
  9. Based on the timeline, will the current Congress review the deal or will the next Congress review it ?
  10. Republican base will love Graham’s fight.
  11. I do not understand the format of this data. What are the differences in the 2 numbers ?Can you explain it to me in 5th grader language? Not being sarcastic.
  12. Given Trump’s MO, he pushes forward with Kavanaugh after the theater performance on Thursday.
  13. At these levels I still think GOP pushes forward with BK nomination.
  14. My liberal wife thinks Cruz is winning the debate so far. Not that she would vote for Cruz, just that Beto isn’t connecting.
  15. Montessori is a philosophy. The implementation of which is not regulated. You can get terrible schools that slap the name Montessori up on a sign with no adherence to the philosophy. You can get Montessori schools accredited by AMI which is the most snobby accrediting body and their schools are generally really good and well financed. St. Alcuin in Dallas and Community Montessori i. Georgetown are 2 I am familiar with. However, Montessori schools are definitely not for all children. I have had to listen to far too many Montessori discussions, wife holds 2 different grade level certifications in Montessori in addition to her Texas public teaching certificate and a Masters in early child education. One of my kids goes to AISD Gullett elementary even with our connection to Montessori. Public school is better suited for him. Have you thought about having your daughter skip an elementary grade if she needs the academic acceleration? I don’t see gifted and talented as being all that important until middle school. For reference I went through a magnet school program 25 years ago starting with 6th grade. With AP courses I started my freshman year at UT with like 3 credit hours short of being a sophomore. Still took me longer than normal to graduate.
  16. I tried planting some broccoli and kale starts. Within days they had been eaten to the ground. Do I pull them out and plant new starts or leave these in place and see if they recover ?
  17. As the rule is written, I won’t fight the call. My question about the rule is where is the defender supposed to put his head when trying to make that tackle? Also, is Foster out for the first half of the TCU game ?
  18. Very disappointed in 78757 today. Basically a bust on the day.
  19. Trump doesn’t care about farmers in the Pacific Northwest. Their loss is not his concern. He wants to be seen as helping auto factory workers.
  20. I don’t think you will get that kind of clarity come November.
