Political parties living in glass houses welcoming Majorie Taylor Green, Lauren Boebert, Matt Gaetz, and Donald Trump should not be throwing stones. That said Sheila Jackson Lee is remarkably stupid.

Imagine Sweat thinking he is amoung the "we' that has created this rivalry. The rivalry goes back over 100 years. It has involved greats of the game clashing for years in a row. This newcomer is not even an astericks in the history of the matter.

Does her district include the Johnson Space Center or has that been gerrymandered to be outside her district? Difficult to believe she graduated from Yale and from University of Virginia School of Law. Her comments do not speak well of either institution. You could not pass 6th grade at Leland Elementary in Elm Grove Wisconsin believing the moon is a gaseous planet or that the Constitution was written 400 years ago. Hell, you would not have made it out of Ms. Godsucker's 3rd grade glass.

I might have gone with a Klan rally as the answer to the question posed in this thread.

Difficult to say since it is difficult to tell him apart from Cory Booker.

I would never base my vote on the opinions of the Rock. i base my vote on the opinions of actrresses or models i would like to know, carnally.

I support the right to peaceably petition the government to redress grievances. While I do not find the actions of January 6th to remotely rise to the level of an insurrection I also do not find it to have been peaceful. Those who used more force than their voices certainly should have been prosecuted. There was no excuse for pushing or striking officers or for removing barricades or for damaging doors and windows to enter. The event had both peaceful protesters and rioters present. Hopefully the ones were accurately seperated from the others in the prosecutions.

An Act, Relating to general elections; to revise deadlines for candidates to qualify for the November 3, 2020, general election schedule to accommodate the dates of the 2020 Republican National Convention; and to provide that this is a one time occurrence. (emphasis added, though logically it need not have been since it related to the November 3 2020 election only). Now if the Legislature wished to make a similar accomodation even though they previously indicated they would not one might presume they could do so faster and easier than last time as they have this road map on how to write this up. The hard legal work, the drafting work is alreaady done.

Bill Text: AL HB272 | 2020 | Regular Session | Enrolled | LegiScan

In it the legislature noted this was a one time accomodation not to be repeated.

First link in the thread. House Bill 272 from 2020.

The Trump campaign got this wrong and was accomodated by the Alabama legislature just recently.

I am unfamiliar with Alabam's legislative calendar. My state has a limited calendar ending thier legislative session in early May. The Governor would have to call the legislature back into special session to pass a law allowing the Secretary of State to extend an election deadline. Even then there would be complications as the printer has a contract and that contract has performance dates written into it. Changing those perform by dates would likely involve greater compensation to the printer. It might also involve elimination of a proofreading step meaning millions of mail in ballots could go out with typographical errors. This is all just inside baseball as they say. Accomodations will be reached. Cooler heads will prevail.

These laws were promulgated when the time for printing and returning ballots to the state from the bonded printer took a substantial bit of lead time. This was a matter of practiclity and impossibility. It was not a political football when promulgated it simply acknowledged the limitations of printing so many items at that time. Campaigns understood this once upon a time and this was a consideration when setting nominating conventions. No more, apparently.

It is unclear to me if the Secretary of State has that power absent legislative approval. When this was done forTrump I believe there was one-time legislative approval. Ideally the legislature gets us out of this but the Biden Campaign needs to be subjected to a bit of opprobrium for not being aware of this or not addressing this much sooner. I get scheduling a convention has a lot of moving parts but the hubris in missing this or ignoring this is a bit staggering even if the Republicans did it first. You have to learn from the mistakes of others, not strive to repeat them almost immediately.

Inflation up Gas up Market down Of course that is today. Who knows what tomorrow will bring? I am glad I am not paying California prices for gas. It's still below $3 where I live.

Hmmm, weed and pineapple fed beef. Is it tasty? Maybe it will be the new sensation, Rockgu beef.

Hookers call that half and half, or so I've heard.

Just some astronomy nuts helping the rest of us to understand the phenomenon.

A far more apt depiction of the moon blotting out the sun than the explanation by Shirley Jackson Lee. I think we can all understand the analogy of the moon teabagging the sun's face.

I never realized the sexual magnetism of Joe Biden, but here is a large group of men and women, mostly men from the sound of it, who all want to have intercourse with Joe Biden. Learn something new every day.

No. I would not trust her to pick up after my dog, more less to be President.

We differ, you and I.

I rarely agree with Tim, but in this instance I do. This will galvanize the left. Those pushing these bans are not interested in the Republican party prevailing in the fall. They are single issue voters who will cut off their nose to spite their face. They have waited too long for this opportunity to hold their water now. They can't look down the road and see that any victory they get right now will be undone after the next election. The question is will Biden do something equally as noteworthy to piss off his base to balance this out. He well may as he is dumber than dirt, but between this and buying votes with student loan debt reassignment away from those students he may well get some momentum going which could only be stopped by a terrorist attack by folks who came in through the open border. Four more years of either Biden or Trump ought to have this country ready for some real revolutionary changes. Sad that we have come to a place where our option is going to be between Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb.

Never heard of him. Seems like felony reckless endangerment to me. Jackass could have killed or maimed someone. Lock him up for a few years, at least. Prohibit him from ever drinking again upon release by having his parole contingent upon no alcohol consumption or even physical possession of alcohol or its straight back to the gray bar hotel.. Who knows, if he is a country star, as I surmize, he might even be able to write a few prison ballads to help revive his career when he gets out.
