Troy Nehls says he's going to vote for Trump next round.

McCarthy thinks he can get it back. He may be right.

CNN is doing a goo job with the live updates. Here's the latest:

Group aligned with Freedom Caucus is behind pro-Jordan pressure campaign From CNN's Melanie Zanona The Conservative Partnership Institute — a group headed up by former Freedom Caucus Chair Mark Meadows, who is Jim Jordan’s close ally — has been an active player in the intense, outside pressure campaign aimed at boosting Jordan’s speakership candidacy, sources tell CNN. CPI has been coordinating calls and helping strategize with right-wing activists about ways to apply pressure on holdouts and whip up support for Jordan, sources say. Jordan has denounced the threats and harassment some of his detractors are facing, and has denied any involvement in the right-wing intimidation tactics. But CPI is very closely tied to the Freedom Caucus, which even holds their weekly meetings at CPI’s headquarters. There’s growing anger among the holdouts over the bullying they are facing from some of Jordan’s allies on the right, and they say they are disappointed with Jordan’s response — which is only hardening their opposition. Rep. Don Bacon tells CNN: “Jordan and his team are in denial over the threats and harassment his supporters are doing. Jordan’s response has been tepid.”

He keeps arguing that it's the Dem's fault because they represented 96% of the "No" votes. I wish she would have asked him what would have happened if they had represented 100% of the "No" votes.

He was always a great actor. Here's a quick article about his hiatus and return: https://people.com/movies/why-indiana-jones-and-goonies-kid-star-ke-huy-quan-quit-acting-for-20-years-inside-his-return/ My favorite bit...

Well hello sweet Bruno! Why the long face?

My understanding is that the rule was actually enacted as an equitability/ cost saving measure in (I think) 1994. What was happening at the time is that the big dogs were sending scouts in-person to do this kind of recon, but it was viewed as an issue of the haves vs the have-nots. Notre Dame could send staff to Sister Mary's of the Poor games to pick apart their process, but Sister Mary's couldn't afford to do the same which, they say, created a competitive imbalance. That's why film and in-game scouting is fair game, but advanced in-person scouting is not.

GOP doing their best Bosch impression.

McCarthy defends Jordan after he loses on first round of votes for speaker From CNN's Manu Raju and Kristin Wilson Former Speaker of the House Rep. Kevin McCarthy speaks to reporters as he leaves the House chamber after Republicans failed in their first attempt to elect Rep. Jim Jordan to be the new House speaker, at the Capitol in Washington, DC, on Tuesday. Former Speaker of the House Rep. Kevin McCarthy speaks to reporters as he leaves the House chamber after Republicans failed in their first attempt to elect Rep. Jim Jordan to be the new House speaker, at the Capitol in Washington, DC, on Tuesday. Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy defended Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan after Jordan lost the first round of votes for the speakership, saying Jordan “has just as many votes as I had on the first round.” “The difference here is we have rules and we can sit down and talk to the other members and be able to move forward,” he said, brushing away claims by Jordan allies that he was in striking distance when 20 Republicans voted against him. “What I saw was the exact same vote I got when I ran and I became speaker.” McCarthy said that unlike in January, the chamber can pause to allow discussions to happen between members. “Now we have rules. We don’t have to be stuck on the floor,” he said, and blamed “every single Democrat” who he said “voted to stop one branch of government.” “We’ll go sit down, we’ll talk to those who have a difference of opinion and come back,” he said.

Unfortunately he belongs to the ever-growing contingent of Republicans who are utterly incapable of shame or embarrassment.

...though I don't think that it elicits the same level of pretend outrage that adding beans does.

Actually, the hardcores here will tell you that it shouldn't have tomato in it either.

The extra ingredients is part of it (though my apologies for thinking you had green beans and carrots in there). To me though, it's really the lack of incorporation of ingredients. Among "purists" (a loaded term that doesn't even have a true consensus), I think there's an expectation that, when you look at a finished chili, all you see is essentially beef in what looks like a red gravy- regardless of whether you're using fresh ingredients or powders. @1978horn offered a beautiful example of this on the last page. That was my take on it anyway. Who knows, and -more importantly- who the fuck cares? Was it delicious? I used to be "that guy" who would run with purist takes based on rudimentary knowledge of standards and quality ("Don't put beans in chili"; "Never let soap even touch your cast iron"; "Quality beer must be stored in a bottle", etc.). Now I apply a simpler approach.... "Did it work" and "Was it good".

Jade's (whatever-that-was) looked like a toilet bowl after the stomach flu. ISU's contribution looks yummy. Is it chili as we know it? Of course not. But this is a 24 page thread. It can handle a diversion.

Throw some potatoes in it next time, and maybe leave out the green beans?

There's no reason not to have beans in that recipe. Looks delicious.
