    Has Lord Emperor Manchin approved it?

    Sounds like Mark Warner is on board - so I assume Manchin is as well (I hope). 

    Bernie started high (6T) and it ended at 3.5T so I’d say yes, this didn’t get decided without approval from Manchin and Sinema.  Plus you don’t announce it if 50 aren’t in agreement on this.

    I'd like someone to clarify this for me.  Heard about it on the news and don't have a dog in the fight.  I've heard:

    Republicans are wanting to essentially repeal the extended measures Texas instituted last year during corona regarding voting.  Dems don't want to so they flee the state (which happened in 2003?) and go to DC until the special session ends.  Dems then come back to Texas and Wheels will call another special session to vote for it and we're essentially stuck in a stalemate right?

    I've heard included in this bill is ending drive by voting, having to request an absentee/vote by mail ballet, some ID for mail in ballets, and rolling back extended early voting times to pre-pandemic levels.  Weren't most of these instituted due to corona?  That the meat of it?

    The bill is meant to fix a problem ("fraud") that doesn't and hasn't existed in a long time.  And if it has, it's tens of ballots every 4 years.

    The 2020 election in Texas was the most smooth and secure election ever conducted, as stated by Texas SOS Ruth Hughs, who then had her interim appointment declined by Texas Senate Republicans for full confirmation.

    The Albert Finney character from Erin Brockovitch is based on the husband. 

    Of course! I forgot to mention the former stripper turned gold-digging pop star on Beverly Hills, whose pop "career" is funded by her husband who sued PG&E, which inspired Erin Brockovich, and has now been reported he was embezzling millions from his clients, including fire victims and airplane crash victims. 

    Tom Girardi is famous AF in California.

    They are rarely famous - Beverly Hills is on the only franchise who notoriously casts actresses in roles (Denise Richards, Garcelle Beavius, Lisa Rinna, Eileen Davidson, Kim and Kyle Richards).  Denise Richards is maybe the only A-list celebrity, everyone else is B-list or C-list and was famous for soap operas and TV appearances, or for the Richards sisters, from back in the day.  BH also notoriously casts people connected to more famous people (the wife of Boy George's manager; one of Nicole Brown Simpson's friends; an ex-wife of OJ's best friend Marcus Allen; John Mellencamp's daughter)

    They do not live in a house together.  It just follows their lives - they go to and throw parties, they go on trips together, they have drama and fights, we see them interact with their families; sometimes we see the single ones navigating the dating world.

    Also, just some quick advice. I've stopped watching shows in the past when they stopped being interesting to me. It happens all the time. I don't make a point to watch it every week to predictably stir shit up on the internet. There's an easy solution. 

    This.

    “You’ll get your pay back once you vote for these things I want you to vote in favor of”

    Dems can keep stalling the specials until after September 1 when the lege is defunded and see how much desire there is to go back to work.

    Keep in mind that Pawlenty won his two elections with low-40% of the vote, and needed a lot of goofy shit to go his way to win them.

    Tis true.

    Minnesota always has a wonky third party.  In 2002, the Independence Party candidate got 16.2% (364,000 votes) and the Green got 2.3% (50,589 votes).  Pawlenty won 44.4-36.5 by about 170,000 votes.

    In 2006, the Independence Party candidate got 6.43% (141,000 votes) in a race Pawlenty won 46.69-45.73 (21,000 vote margin)

    Uh. Arrested?  On what charges?

    It's literally a Texas House rule.  Absent legislators can be arrested by the sergeant at arms (or somebody they appoint, like sheriffs/DPS)

    Quote

    If a quorum is not present when the House convenes Tuesday, any House member can move to make what’s known as a call of the House to “to secure and maintain a quorum” to consider a certain piece of legislation, resolution or motion, under chamber rules. That motion must be seconded by 15 members and ordered by a majority vote. If that happens, the missing Democrats will become legislative fugitives.

    “All absentees for whom no sufficient excuse is made may, by order of a majority of those present, be sent for and arrested, wherever they may be found, by the sergeant-at-arms or an officer appointed by the sergeant-at-arms for that purpose, and their attendance shall be secured and retained,” the House rules state. “The house shall determine on what conditions they shall be discharged.”

    "The Federal Bureau of Investigations released a statement Sunday, saying they are not aware of any threats to the All-Star Game and have no reason to believe Friday's arrests were connected to the event at this time.

    "We have no reason to believe this incident was connected to terrorism or a threat directed at the All-Star Game. We are not aware of any threat to the All-Star Game events, venues, players, or the community at this time," the statement read."

    Czech was a top 50 recruit in the '20 class with a 3.14 ERA as a true freshman. 

    That's a good get for your 3rd arm/starter. 

     

    NC State fired their pitching coach. So I’ll trust in Mike

    Anyone know when the non-conference schedule will be out?

    Probably in the next couple weeks. I know we play Minny, A&M, Tree, ND, Arizona and Texas State. So far, it’s rather meh
