Yeah if takes 2 O-lineman AND a RB to block Chase Young......Chase Young isn't the problem, it means the other members of the D-line can't even beat their 1 on 1 matchups.  I think the D-line is really missing Ionnadis.    I'm sorry to say but Allen & Payne have not been the presence in the middle that we all expected they would be.  Both of them have individual good games here and there, and I think overall Payne has had a pretty solid 2020, however, you need a D-line that can collpase the pocket or at least push it backwards because that is what causes the QB to crumble into the pursuit of the pass rushers on the outside. 

?????? 5 Sacks yesterday.

After watching the Eagle/Cowboys game I actually think the Redskins are currently the best team in the division. None our rivals are even average in any aspect of the game at this point. I can't see them being able to withstand our defense (it's not great but it's better than average). So I think we go 5-1 in the division (Would have been 6-0 if it wasn't for the -go for 2-coaching mistake) and we take the Division title. (Sorry draft guys that means we'll pick 19).

About the only thing as cynical as Moscow Mitch’s power play is the statements from Murkowski and Collins that they don’t support filling the seat until after the election. Translation: Even though we want to support it, we’re in hotly contested election fights so Moscow Mitch gave us permission to oppose this because he’s already got the votes to push it through. It’s as transparent as it is cynical. We really need to turn the Senate over.

Murkowski is not up for reelection this year and she voted against Kavanaugh so I think the Dems can count on a no vote from her.

I wish I felt the same way. Collins, Murkowski, Romney all vote no. Pence breaks the tie. New right wing nutter religious zealot on the bench by Christmas.

But I’m gonna hope you are right. And I hope Mitch’s arrogance costs them the Senate.

 

Well if Kelly wins he will be seated once the election results are certified.  So only 3 would be needed to vote a nomination down (unless they somehow get a vote prior to 30 November or a Dem crossing lines and voting).

If Dems take the senate they need to add at least 2 SCOTUS justices. There’s really no other option at this point. Republicans will probably try to do the same sometime in the future if they control Congress and the presidency, but that’s something we’ll deal with when we get there.
. 

That would be the bottom of the slope. That would massively increase the power of the President. Every time there is a political shift from one party to the other the court would be increased (Heck I can see presidents increasing the court size even if it was his parties court and it blocks legislation important to him), until eventually there would no longer be political shifts in power.

I was just going to say this. If Biden wins, expand the whole judiciary branch. Fight fire with fire. Expand the SC to 11 justices and fill it with liberal justices. Expand the federal judges from 70 to 100. It's the only way you can fight the other judges Mitch pushed through. 

Amazing how many people support this idea as it would be the end of democracy.

I saw a video from 2018 where Lindsay Graham said he would wait until after the election if a vacancy came up after the primaries were over.

 

These people are all full of it. Amy Barrett is going to be the next SCOTUS justice. 

Yep but Graham could still keep to what he said. Trump will still have until first week in January to get a nominee confirmed (20 January if the Republicans keep the Senate).

In the longer run, a Dem President + Senate could just increase the SCOTUS to 11 or 13 members.

 

Buttigieg was talking like 17-19 Justices during his campaign. 

Which is what I was referring to when I said leading to the destruction of the Judicial branch. (as a Republican Pres and Senate would later increase it again and so on and so on).

Isn't there a fear for them that the democrats could win the election in a landslide and decide to pack the court?

I don't know a lot about this so I'm asking not stating.

But once the precedent has been set by the Republicans that they won't play by standard rules can't the democrats do that?

They could and might which would be the death of the Supreme Court.  Just the worst timing for this to happen imo. Living till January or retiring last year would have been better. She gambled on the former.

Hell, Mitch could ram thru a choice within a week of Trump making a selection.

 

Does this tip the election back to Donald?

 

RIP RBG.

No it will have no effect on the election (Trump is going to lose). However, it does create a situation that could lead to the effective destruction of the Judiciary branch.

Considering the Burough of East Pittsburgh paid the Rose family $2 mil to settle, I'm not sure justified killing fits this one.

That was a political decision (As was the prosecution of the police officer - think about that - that is scary)  they decided not to fight it even though they likely would have won.

For this part - 

"There was a drive-by shooting in North Braddock around 8:30 p.m. Just 10 minutes later, police stopped a car matching witness descriptions of the silver Chevrolet Cruze used in the drive-by shooting. The police observed bullet holes on the side of the car.^[12]

A video recording taken by a bystander shows police ordering the driver to step out from the car.^[12] While the driver was being handcuffed, Rose and the third occupant, Zaijuan Hester, ran from the car."

He was suspected of an attempted murder 10 minutes prior and yes they got the right car and he was part of that attempted murder (in other words an active threat to the community).  I just want to point out don't make heroes out of those that were killed with good justification and certainly don't criticize those that refuse to go along with it when you do. There are plenty of examples (plenty) of non justified killings by the police the NFL can use - this wasn't one of them.

Yeah, but Kamara was a high third round pick while Gibson was only a huh....

I don't know how much I trust people NOT to go to a movie theater when sick with Covid.

That really isn't the issue as the sick will mainly stay home.  The issue is if they are not sick with COVID. Last movie I tried to watch was Power Project - really couldn't get through it.

My rep said they are talking about some sort of benefit for those that defer as opposed to refund but they have not settled on anything yet.

Ideas? 

Don't get why anyone would buy season tickets. Basically throwing money away as you can get almost any seat on a weekly basis at a significant discount.

It won't be, first one was incredibly plausible.  This one doesn't make sense if 4 years later the zombies haven't biodegraded or died from lack of food.  They weren't really trying to feed, jus bite as many as possible.  

 

Given wife watches a lot of South Korean stuff on Netflix, was hoping the sequel would be North Korea helping them out to keep it from spreading.  Not a resident evil / escape from LA hybrid.

 

 

Does your wife speak Korean? One of the reasons I thought Train is the best is because it is still really great even though I have to read sub-titles. I can imagine how good it is if you can speak Korean.

The sequel, to the best Zombie movie of all, is out. If it comes close to the first one we'll all be happy.

Arkansas, not Tennessee.  The Arkansas state legislature actually voted to replace both their statues in the statuary hall last year, and aren't doing it because of the recent events:

Ok that makes sense - thought his was one of the statues that Pelosi was having removed.

Just now, China said:

 

I didn't realize that was a question.  They put him there for his work in establishing the bar association among other things.  A little more about him:

Then they shouldn't take him down or at least not take him down for that reason (Tennessee replacing him for someone they like more would be ok).

I'm hearing they are considering replacing him with Johnny Cash.

You never did answer the question about your ggg grandfather. Did they put the statue there for his work as a confederate or for establishing the bar association?

Still wearing Redskins gear - Good for him.

Apples and Oranges yet again. Was your GGG Grandfathers statue submitted because he was a confederate or because he helped found the Bar association?
