The midterms, and all congressional elections for the foreseeable future, come down to like two dozen House seats at this point because districting is so fricked. Decisive majorities aren’t even possible as things stand.

The Senate is different, but there is a lot of chalk this year/class. GA’s the only real pickup for the GOP, and maybe NH or MI. ME could be vulnerable for a D flip.

Otherwise, it’s pretty boring.

The Iranian people are in no way responsible for the shite they have had to endure for the past half century.

bullshite. The Iranian people are who put this regime in power and continue to prop them up. There are tens of millions of Iranians that support the regime.

I have no sympathy for their buyers remorse.

And yet, they didn’t and haven’t.
Bit of a weird spot for the subs. Obviously incredibly effective but the gulf is pretty narrow and shallow. I’m sure we’re poking around under there but I don’t know if it’s exactly prime territory for our 688’s and VA’s

We don’t need SSN’s to dispense with Iran’s navy. I’d guess our boats are in the Arabian Sea ready to lob missiles. Wouldn’t be shocked if one of the SSGN’s is slinking around there or the eastern Med.

I’m not a military expert at all, can someone explain if there’s any significance to the ships moving to open sea?

Either they are planning something or intelligence told them missiles or attacks are imminent.

Ships are exponentially safer at sea than tied up.

No tax on tips” should not be on this list. It’s not an automatic applause type issue.

It’s also pandering, bad policy.

Tax all income, or none of it. Any exemption, credit, or loophole should be applied across the board to everyone.

But yet everyone is pissed and mocking the player.

I’m not pissed at all. But sure I’ll mock him.

It’s time to give up playing games, Chandler. Most people hit that point before now. You aren’t good enough, get a job.

Per the Senate Rules and tradition, when holding the floor and speaking, a senator cannot sit, cannot take bathroom breaks, and cannot consume anything except water or, by existing precedent, milk.

The loophole here is that they can yield for questions during their speech. So every Democrat senator can go on indefinitely during each members speech with “questions”.

And they better force it through.

They aren’t ditching the filibuster. You know that already.

He needs to change the filibuster rules and pass it.

What would the change be?

Removing it entirely would be the most shortsighted and stupid thing possible.

This MUST pass!

It won’t. But yay I guess?

At least there will be political theater.

Anyone the jury or judge thought deserved such a sentence as above should never see the outside of a prison. I don't care if he is 120.

Juries don’t sentence outside of capital cases. And three life sentences seems appropriate.

Parole is the issue, not the sentence.

I asked a question. I edited when I found the answer.
The legislature shouldn’t have anything to do with HS sports.

But I don’t doubt they’ll waste time on it.

The California Parole Board has granted parole to David Allen Funston

Is the governor on the parole board or something?

Should the Covid year count?

It should, but doesn’t.

Why are there medical redshirts?

For very rare cases. Not to extend every person’s college career indefinitely.

quote:

You are angry with the system that has allowed all of this for many years. But you are directing your anger at the player, that is just following the precedents already established. It makes no sense.

I opposed medical redshirts and the covid year not counting. I also oppose all of these players gaming the weak NCAA simply because they aren’t good enough for the next level
quote:

This isn't anywhere near the most outlandish case we have seen so far.

They’re all outlandish. 5 years to play 4 should be all there is. Maybe could see a sixth in extremely rare cases. Never ever a seventh. 25 year olds playing college ball who are in their seventh year is ridiculous
quote:

think he has a good case. He's been in school 6 years, but his 1st year was Covid (and he didn't really play). Out of the other 5 seasons, he's only played significant time in 3 of those seasons (the last 3 years). In 2021 and 2022, he only played in 4 games each season. One is his regular redshirt (2021). In 2022 he suffered a pretty severe leg injury in the opener and missed most of the season. He came back at the end of the year and was able to play a small amount. His lawsuit is about 2022, and if he should get a medical redshirt. As I stated, his only played in 4 games. He attempted 27 passes. He should get another year. I'm not sure why he lost his first lawsuit attempt.

No. Life isn’t fair. Sucks for him, time is up.
