Is there some sort of gentleman’s agreement with the filibuster?

The Dems are still kicking themselves in the arse for eliminating the filibuster on judicial nominations under Obama. The GOP warned them they would regret it.

Fast forward to the Trump admin who appointed 3 SCOTUS judges with a simple majority. No way any of them gets 60 votes.

As bad as things are, the filibuster is the last guardrail in place.

The GOP is working on a reconciliation bill that will include these tax cuts, along with making the 2017 tax cuts (expires end of year) permanent. This process allows them to bypass the 60 votes needed in the senate.

This is the big, beautiful bill Trump talks about. The challenge will be getting the House GOP on the same page.

Won't be till next week. Up next is Pam Bondi tonight, then Scott Turner and Russell Vought later this week.

Dems slow walking it as long as they can.

Holy shite, Sid won it. Only 25 precincts left. It's over.

Who do you think runs the NCAA?

I worked concessions when it was all cash and was surprised by how little theft was going on. Any losses were deducted from the groups/vendors commission so they watched their money like a hawk.

Now, I was a bit surprised that nobody ever attempted to rob the money room after the game when it had about $500k sitting there waiting for the truck to pickup.

Time for the SEC, BIG10 and ACC to abandon the NCAA and impose some reasonable regulation on NIL and transfers.

Explain how these conferences will be able to regulate nil and transfers when the courts say they can't.

No way the women's basketball team is losing money starting this year. Guarantee Kim Mulkey will be operating in the black as long as she is here.

Not true. Uconn wbb program loses money. Tenn lost money when they were winning championships under Pat Summitt. The reason why is the lack of tv revenue. Wbb, baseball, softball and gym don't have its own tv deal like football and mbb.

Finebaum is 2-6 so that's not the issue. The guide shows a live SEC Now show from 10:30-1. The LSU game will start at 1.

Edit: To clarify, the game comes on SECN at 1 already in progress.

My 88 y/o mom recently had a partial hip replacement (ball portion) after a fall. She spent 2 days in the hospital then a week in a rehab facility. Once home she had physical therapy twice a week. Within a month she was able to get around with her walker, which she used before the fall. It took about another month for her to regain all of her strength.

I was worried she may be in a wheelchair the rest of her life when it happened but she back to her old self. At 57 your mil should do well.
