    This is what I was going to say but you beat me to it.  The business model of the GOP is to get 75% of the upscale whites.  Move that down to even 60% and the whole thing falls apart.  Look at the elections we've seen since 2016.  In the ones where you've had sizable blocks of upscale white voters, you've seen a huge shift.  (Virginia, for example.)  Those gerrymandered districts become millstones around their neck if the suburban whites start to fall off.

    Right, there are a lot of districts where urban areas were carved in to slivers and attached to a big chunk of the suburbs to dilute Democratic voters.  If the suburbs aren't reliably Republican, that doesn't work and you end up with a Dem rep instead of a Republican one.

  2. We walked everywhere from Trastevere other than to the Vatican.  Granted, the hike to Augustus' tomb and the Ara Pacis museum was a little long, but that was really the only one.  If you are in decent shape and don't have small kids, it's a perfect location.  If you stay close to the river, you're within a mile and a half of almost all of the big sites and most are closer than that.  The bonus of getting to stay in an actual real life neighborhood is great.

    I was on my phone and didn't want to type all of it out.  

    "Mueller has nothing on trump" is translated to "Trump, at this point, is not the target of what mueller is investigating."

    Question because I wasn't able to keep up with the explosion of posts yesterday...  Do we think this raid was about the daniels payment or do we think it was for something bigger and the media is just nitpicking the daniels payment because that is the news they have been after for the last month+?

    Personally, I think there was something other than the Daniels payment they wanted to see and the media only asked about the payment when going to sources in the investigation.  I think the media is missing the boat right now and will catch up to the real reason for this raid in a few months.

     

    Crooked real estate deals, money laundering and who knows what else.  Cohen is involved in all the shady shit Trump Inc does.  Stormy Daniels is the least of their worries.

  4. You can't put it in the cooler until it's had time to cool 30 or 40 degrees.  If you go straight in to the cooler, it's got enough heat in it to turn a well insulated small box in to an oven. The warmer can regulate it's temp so that even if it's full of brisket, it stays cool enough that the briskets can't keep cooking.

    Kevwun what do you spray it with? I spritz mine with all apple juice or apple cider vinegar, water might be just as effective.

    I have a 32oz spray bottle so that's what this recipe makes.

    2 cups apple cider vinegar
    1/2 cup Worcestershire
    juice of two lemons

    I pour all that in the spray bottle and then top it off with water.  It makes enough to do 3 or 4 briskets so I usually end up pouring a lot out.

  6. I haven't, but I lean towards dominating stuff.  Keuchel would be a nice change of pace between those guys, but I don't want to rob any of them of starts if they keep it up.  Tandem starts are looking even better if 4 or 5 starters are pitching well.

  7. Yeah, he refused to read the Grand Jury indictment several times because he said he was too busy with prep for the Nebraska game.  This was really good.  It's definitely worth a watch.  Probably the best thing Pacino has done in awhile.  No yelling at all and was very subtle.  He disappeared in to the character.
