  1. You forgot the part about the directional Michigans and Cleveland State being handed the death penalty.
  2. Yup, and it has a neat history. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iowa–Minnesota_football_rivalry
  3. If this were a parliamentary House, it would mean that these clowns would be facing a general election on or about Halloween. The factional nature of what's left of the Republican Party means that we have all the drawbacks of a hung Parliament without any of the benefits or remedies.
  4. Source vetting is always necessary, but this seems like one that's good.
  5. Any deal involving the House Democrats must have everything written down in the rules package, and voted upon prior to election of the Speaker. Trust but verify.
  6. When Tom Emmer was in the Minnesota Legislature, he got arrested trying to bring a loaded handgun through security at MSP. He replaced Michelle Bachmann in the 6th and, for the most part, has kept his head down.
  7. Forgot one thing: all of the above written into the rules package to be passed prior to election of the Speaker.
  8. Probably these: - Call off impeachment inquiry - Make the motion to vacate out of order -50/50 committee splits with Jeffries naming the chair of Rules and Judiciary - Deal for large Ukraine and Israel support package - No threat of shutdown
  9. The Packers are doing what they should have done 2 or 3 years ago: flush the roster and start over. Aaron Rodgers covered up a multitude of sins for them the last two years.
  10. This is the only thing I thought of this morning.
  11. Not a damn thing wrong with some old fashioned donuts. Still wouldn't trade for him.
  12. The most the Vikings are going to get for Cousins is a 6 pack of cake donuts.
  13. What I've noticed in my trips to Mordor (all Gopher roadies down there from 2003 to 2009 plus a couple of basketball games) is that the fans down there are actually decent towards Minnesota fans who come down. You're right about the neighborhood. The gully our group tailgated in at the end of Olive Court is now housing. Iowa fans that come up to Minneapolis are total shitheads, and have been for a long time.
  14. Is this on the motion to table or the motion to vacate? What I'm seeing is that there are two votes today. The first one is whether to table (kill) the motion to vacate the chair, then the second one will be on the MVC itself.
  15. 220 after a resignation. I'm not sure what the play is. Breaking the Freedom Caucus is a worthwhile goal in itself, but it's a hard choice between that and saving McCarthy.
  16. Whatever the number is on Michigan at Minnesota, load up on them. This one is gonna be ugly.
  17. Shit, the day Biden was declared the winner (Saturday, November 7, 2020) was cause for spontaneous street parties in most large American cities, dancing mailboxes in Philadelphia, and the introduction of Gritty rep on this board. If all of that for his electoral defeat, what's gonna happen when he croaks?
