    My first week of basic i got shot in the arm with a neumatic device. Sounded like a nail gun off. Then I was given a handful of pills. A day later the entire platoon was puking all over the barracks.tbis went on for a week. 

    Still curious what they gave me.

    Got back from Cabo last week and through a deal with our hotel, was able to get tested for $30 US. Otherwise, it would have been around 53. Results back in 3/5hrs.

    Unfortunately, we had to do it twice because we extended our stay (tested early just in case needing ticket changing) by two days to look at some property. so $60 for each of us.

     

    Makes sense. We aren’t staying at a hotel property, so don’t get the “deals” but $50 was fine with us

    Democrats seem to try to stick with traditions and decorum. It's the right that has gone full partisan and treating political power like a fucking game as if it doesn't affect 300 million people. The democrats are soon going to have no choice but to respond in kind, and we're all going to be worse off. It will always be recorded though that the right started it when the books are written about the USAs downfall.

    Again, the Democrats are having done to them exactly what they did to Trump during his first term - slow play the nominees through procedural bullshit.  The Senate minority cannot stop these nominees - you can thank (or blame) Harry Reid blowing up the filibuster for exec branch nominees for that.

     She asks the stewardess to move me, that’s a no from the stewardess. I point out that there are multiple empty window-aisle pairs farther back on the plane. She can grab one of them after takeoff. No, she doesn’t want to be any farther back on the plane. “You should have to sit with your family and let me have these two seats.”

    "Ma'am, I booked this seat so I wouldn't have to sit with them."

    I'm not saying it's "chump change."  I'm just saying that it's not $10K, as JulesVerne speculated.

    It's a helluva lot of money.  But even in coach, that itinerary was going to be a helluva lot of money.  And the point is that Qatar doesn't price their business class at 10X their coach fares, as a lot of airlines do.

    Just joking with ya.  I have flown Qatar twice (economy both times) and it's a very nice airline!

    Well, I guess that settles it then. Unless a Democrat is just exactly perfect in everything they ever do, they suck. If only they could all be as perfect as you.

    Come on, man.

    This is always how it's been.  Which is normally why Republicans win elections - Republicans fall in line, Democrats fall in love and sit out because they get big mad the Dem isn't perfect.

    If talking about Beto O'Rourke's recent statewide race and the reason he lost is wrong in a thread about the next governor's race, I don't want to be right.

    Yeah @immamac, Beto/guns is relevant to the governor race - I'd change this thread title to "2022 Texas Governor's Race" or just "2022 Dem Gov Primary" or something, since the Abbott thread has (right or wrong) become the GOP primary thread for 2022.

    Probably mad they are missing the junior klan rally in Sioux Falls for mom's 2024 photo op.

    It's a photo of Noem with her family looking unhappy being together, juxtaposed with fireworks at Rushmore during the Obama administration.

    She's trying to say that a Trumpy fireworks display at Rushmore beats being at home with her dumbshit children.

    Ignoring the fact that Trump's Department of the Interior declined a permit for fire reasons and tribal objections.

    Facts don't care about her feelings.

    That photo stays a lot more about her than she thinks it does.  Her kids appear to hate her.

    How does one fuckwit in the minority party manage to hold up nominees?

    By denying unanimous consent to move forward.  They are going to force Schumer to schedule cloture votes and debate to move forward, versus just allowing nominees to go straight to floor votes.   Plus the Senate is in recess until next week. 

    From the article:

    Quote

    An individual senator can’t permanently block a nominee, but can use Senate rules to force procedural steps that are often skipped for less controversial picks. That can delay confirmation of those nominees indefinitely given the many priorities competing for valuable, limited time on the Senate floor.

    Because the Democrats are a bunch of pussies.

    Actually they did this often.  You can only delay it, but you can't block them permanently due to the weakening of the filibuster for executive branch nominations.   Republicans did it to Obama, Democrats did it to Trump, Republicans are doing it to Biden.

    Pretending it's because Dems are pussies is a false narrative.  Stop spreading it. 

    Quote

    Here is what is happening: Democrats are requiring that Republicans check all the procedural boxes on most nominees, even those they intend to eventually support. That requires the Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky, to request a formal “cloture” vote to move forward.

    An “intervening day” is then required to allow the cloture request to “ripen.” Next is a vote to impose cloture followed by 30 hours of “post-cloture” debate before a final vote. Democrats have refused to shorten the debate time — to “yield back,” in the parlance of the Senate — though in most cases there is little to debate.

    Seriously why are you even posting? You don’t know who the people are, you don’t like the nba, so why are you here?

    Because shit post slorch’s white victimhood radar went off. 

    MT’s WBB and VB coverage are top notch, which are typically throw away sports for legit coverage by ESPN. She also does NFL, CFB, MBB and NBA. Versatility in a broadcast world on a channel that has been getting lean with its on-air personnel seems like a good asset.
