  1. Looks like 433 present (though still finishing up call to quorum aka roll call). So 217 is the number today. With 221 Republicans present cannot lose more than 4 of them. Unless he can reach across the aisle to convert some De....
  2. While you still have time and your wits about you, google "detox centers near me"
  3. Yeah, so what are you struggling to understand?
  4. Can we just ban this guy once and for all @BobDole, @Husker_Du? I can't take his sickness anymore.
  5. McHenry is Speaker pro tempore And Jordan ran into a lot of friction for this proposal and backed off of it. He is going to ask for a third vote instead.
  6. It has been said you are a real POS. By me. It was me. Who said any of your BS? And where are those reports?
  7. I don't think this has any bearing on any of Donald Trump's cases.
  8. My favorite author, Matt Levine, uses that technique all the time in his writing. He writes about financial topics, an industry dominated by men. It is his way of saying women are capable of anything in the financial field men are, and I enjoy the technique. But here is the thing, you only use it to refer to those you are putting down. You never use the technique otherwise. It makes it impossible not to notice the correlation between calling someone ma'am and putting them down. The correlation between negativity and your use of a female title is perfect, I think. That is why it has the opposite effect of the one you claim.
  9. Agreed. AI is a big data operation. One of one wrestlers would be an enigma.
  10. I never harangued you. I harangue this guy all the time because he likes to make up lies and then hide behind words like reportedly, supposedly, maybe, and other double dumb stuff like that. His awe shucks b.s. and abhorrent views of rape make it so I cannot help myself. He is truly awful. And I hate that he views himself as some sort of ambassador for wrestling. All he can do is damage wrestling's standing.
  11. You used the word reportedly twice. So where are these reports?
  12. Can we see some of those reports you are referring to? Or are they figments of your twisted thinking?
  13. I think you can make a strong case that PSU has already moneyballed wrestling. Moneyball was about finding mis-priced attributes, i.e. inefficiencies, in baseball players so that you can buy valuable players on the cheap. If I recall correctly the big one for them was on base percentage. I think PSU is very good at identifying inefficiencies and figuring out how to exploit them. A technique example would be the ankle ride that drives every non-PSU fan on this board to distraction. Now that the rule has changed I would not be surprised if the coaching staff at PSU finds another technique or advantage to replace it. An off the mat example would be their early adoption of a sports psychologist like Bonnie (I do not know her last name). Many wrestlers speak glowingly of how she has helped them.
  14. I think your intent is backfiring. I get that you think you are teaching these guys a lesson, but as an outside observer, that is not what I see at all. I see someone who is trying to belittle someone else by calling them female, as though being female is belittling. It really does reflect on you rather than them. Now I have no problem with name calling on these boards, I have done it repeatedly to Dan, Jimmy C, and Title IX. But I have chosen what I think are accurate descriptions.
  15. Jordan now says three's a charm. "He will seek a third floor vote ... after Trump loyalists abandoned efforts to buy more time for his struggling campaign." Per Bloomberg.
  16. I am not seeing that. What I have read is that when Jordan proposed temporarily expanding until some date (opinions differ), the role of the Speaker pro tempore's powers, to allow for re-opening the House and introducing legislation that he did not have the support for that either from fellow Republicans. As a result he will call his opponents to discuss how to move forward (such a non-statement). It sounds like they would need Democratic support for any proposal as there is nowhere near enough Republican support. And the idea of crossing the aisle is the third rail of the Freedom Caucus.
  17. You really are not.
  18. granted his high was higher, but isn't O.J. Simpson's low lower?
  19. When choosing between the lesser of two evils, you are still choosing evil.
  20. Has there been a more massive fall from grace? From America's Mayor to whatever it is he has become at this point? Lance Armstrong? O.J. Simpson? Bill Cosby? Harvey Weinstein?
  21. I have been meaning to ask for a while. Where does your misogyny come from? When insulted and you want to respond with an insult you resort to the same technique. Referring to the other person as ma'am. What do you feel being female is less?
  22. No idea if he succeeds, but I do think he is trying. After all he is a legislator who refuses to legislate. That makes him just a politician. Politicians are all about controlling the narrative.
  23. Yes, that is what I was saying. I think he is working on the optics of the collapse now.
  24. Why does it matter? The Republicans have a majori...Oh yeah. Never mind.
