agreed i think lane is gaming the system a little here

He probably learned this from Bill Belichick. Tom Brady was listed on the injury report 186 times.
Never once missed a game.

Congress isn't going to get anything done before the midterm elections. I have my doubts that they'll do anything with it before the next Congress is sworn in, in January.

The Senate started debating the bill today. It will get a vote this week. It has a lot of support.
What Tiger fans are going to be in Atlanta Saturday?

Finebaum and SEC Nation will be in Atlanta.
It's weird how so many of you just make shite up. Senators must be present on the floor to vote. McConnell wasn't there. And I assume you're talking about Maxine Waters, a house member.

Senators can vote by proxy in committees.

It's the federal gas taxes that is most of that cost. Don't blame the gas companies when the feds are taxing you to death.

18.4 cents per gallon. Diesel is 24.4 cents. Been that way since 1993.

Yeah, that's the problem...

During the Skip years we reported actual attendance, but everybody else reported paid attendance.

Baseball reported both numbers through the end of 2014. It was in the box score and can be seen on lsusports.net.

You jam a single bill massive tax cut

You guys haven't been listening to massie and the freedom caucus. These tax cuts cost $4.5 trillion over 10 years. They want spending cuts to pay for it.

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.

I add my browned pork after the liquid and let it simmer (covered) about 20 minutes or so. Then I add the rest of my meat, bring to a boil and add my rice.

re: No tax on tips,SS and ot

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.

This process is taking way too long

The Senate moves at snail's pace. Lots of procedural rules that gives the minority party an opportunity to slow play the process.

Most here would probably be surprised to learn they have confirmed 12 in 17 days. That's pretty good given the obstacles. I think they have 10 more to go.

 I would figure Thursday, maybe Wednesday evening

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.

Looks like it's time for recess.

It's not over. They will now have 30 hours of debate. Once that is over, they will have a confirmation vote. 51 is only needed and should happen tomorrow evening.
Holy shite, Sid won it. Only 25 precincts left. It's over.
Early voting has been counted. It's separate from the day of vote.
The NCAA attendance report is paid attendance. LSU baseball stopped reporting actual attendance a long time ago. I think it was shortly after the new box opened. They would include both actual and paid in the box score.

Not aware of any school reporting actual these days.

Tiger Stadium beer going up now
Due to employee theft

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.
