Have you ever wondered what Dinosaurs lived in your area and thus would have been your friend growing up, well there's a website for that now: https://dinosaurpictures.org/ancient-earth

In NJ we have the Dryptosaurus, because we got that drip you know. I grew up in MN though, looks like they found a bunch of aquatic dinosaurs there. Maybe they would have liked the lakes. You can even change the globe by adjusting the time frame to see how the continents formed.

I don't get to have land animal friends for almost the entirety of geological time. Chances are in the near future that will again be true.

See, I'm from Louisiana too, and I had to have a good long think about who you might be referring to here.

Not due to a shortage of candidates, mind you. It was the opposite problem.

Jindal's taking a shot at "something called 'volcano monitoring' (hehe gottem)" in his 2009 SotU response, followed by a near-immediate volcanic eruption in Alaska costing that state several million dollars' oil revenue over the next couple months, was something that ought to have made any true believer question whether God hates them specifically.

It's Senatorial power. Killing off Tommy Touchdown's hold power here is chipping away at a single Senator's ability to hold anything and force a cloture vote for any reason.

And this isn't over yet - this is just priming the floor vote, which will require 60. There are probably enough pissed-off military-aligned Republican Senators to hit 60, but still unclear.

So less of a decorum thing, more of a power thing. Senators really, really like holding poo poo and Schumer needs 10 Republican Senators to agree "not that poo poo". And a whole lot of Republican Senators wouldn't mind those slots still staying unfilled and forcing Schumer to eat up floor time for each and every one of them.

Folks were wailing and gnashing their teeth over Biden not giving them a whole new $2k check for Covid relief after he/the Dems called out Trump's reduction to $1,350 or something and made up the difference. You'd have thought someone shot their dog by the amount of vitriol hurled against the Dems for giving people free money.

That's because he actually did promise a whole new check and then didn't deliver.

Would probably have made more of an impact if Youngkin's name was on the ballot for re-election, but there were enough close races that it might have helped keep a few seats GOP.
