  1. You just lost all credibility when you mentioned Kerby lane, which has been producing crap for several years now.
  2. Will the game be on there in the tailgate? Kicking around the idea of driving down with the wife and watching it there.
  3. As soon as I saw a recommendation for Torchy’s, the rage inside bubbled up and I had to step away from the keyboard.
  4. I like doing the dishes. It’s the only way I can ever get a sense of accomplishment in any given day.
  5. Man that dude is incredibly immature and weird.

    Treat Your Own Back- The McKenzie Method. changed my life.
  7. This is such a great post. It’s just the perfect characterization of these rubes.
  8. I have no idea what this means but because it’s somehow tied to religion it’s got to be bad.
  9. Someone has to figure out how to get the young vote up to offset the idiotic old people who believe all of this right wing propaganda.
  10. It really does cement in stone that the Moderate Republican Party is gone, forever. Very scary.
  11. That’s what I thought. So all of the folks here saying that “someone” won’t let a vote happen for a speaker who cuts a deal with democrats, how would that work. For example let’s say someone can get enough votes from a republican private vote. Would the speaker temp then arrange for a public vote where a few democrats at the end put him/her over the top? How are the minority republicans going to stop that?
  12. What are the rules for how a vote on a speaker gets to the floor. Who decides? After the Republican private votes, no one has had enough votes to get to 217, so why have some of the public house votes proceeded anyway? Who made that happen?
  13. Very happy to see the Phillies lose, so that I don’t have to see a World Series with the worst fans of any city in the United States of America.
  14. As I said earlier you don’t know that. Nor do I. The only thing we know is that no cooperation has occurred. If it’s true that all of the Republicans are refusing to do anything, then of course the Democrats aren’t making a mistake. But if the republicans aren’t offering anything at all, why not point that out to the American people. Get public opinion on your side. And as far as what to get, I’m suggesting that maybe supporting Emmer or a more moderate Republican might be enough at this point.

    It seems that replacing the elliptical with something would be the only change? What’s wrong with the current workout? I just quit running due to stress fractures in the foot and psoas muscle discomfort.
  16. Hey go fuck yourself. Nothing I said was blaming democrats. I simply pointed out that the Democrats may be making a tactical error, losing an opportunity to advance their agenda. That’s not blaming them. It’s criticism.
  17. The key question none of us know the answer to is whether there have been discussions and whether there was a potential deal there or not that the Dems turned down. It is difficult to speculate without knowing the answer, but IF they are just sitting back and not working options in private with moderates, then I believe that is a mistake. Helping a moderate to get back in control helps advance bipartisan legislation.
  18. Multiple smart people on this thread have argued that the Democrats should just stand by and watch the shit show, believing that it’s damaging the republican party. I just don’t agree. The Democrats had an opportunity to help elect a speaker who’s only mostly a moron. They should have jumped at the opportunity to help him get over the hump. Things are going to get dangerous from here on out. Trump gains power from this shit show.
  19. More resources, fan support, and better education than Texas and Georgia. Well that’s certainly a view.
