Unfortunately, right now, this Diamond is contributing at about the level of a Daymond (Jackson)...

On a humorous note, I was furloughed in 1995 (thanks Newt Gingrich!) when I was in Civil Division, DOJ, and considered non-essential. Me and colleagues from several different components of Civil Division headed straight to the Old Ebbitt Grill at about 10:45 in the morning after receiving my furlough notice as it was illegal to volunteer for the USG and we had to depart the workplace. Ten hours later, we'd run up a tab of over $6,000 which I put on my Amex and took cash from my colleagues. The following December 1996 I received a Christmas gift card from the Clyde's Restaurant Group worth $100 for being a top 100 customer in 1995 -- which I promptly spent at 1789 with a lady friend. Bravo, sir. Best post in the thread by far

Not sure how it's a personal attack when you admit your posting here is pure trolling. Do I have to dig up all of the "I do it to get a rise out of you guys" posts you've made over the past decade? The argument here you've adopted is that Democrats should fund the government because safety, you don't want to defend the position because you're "just parroting back what I have always heard from Democrats about shutting down the government" and if we go back to 2009, we can find lots of times where you make the argument that since Democrats have the majority, why do they need Republican votes - they should take on responsibility. The level of disingenuousness you post with daily is hard to measure. As is the level of your self-satisfaction...

Hypocrisy would require a level of sincerity that trolls like Elvado don't have. Attaboy!!! Land speed record for devolving to personal attack...

Dems talking out of the other side of their mouths from when Republicans wanted to shut down the government. The fact that your hypocrisy radar only pings for Democrats is rather...hypocritical. How very meta of you. Not to worry, the job of pointing out Republican hypocrisy is well handled by all Democrats and most of what passes for a media...

Seems the S__thole comment has supplanted this book as the Leftist media’s favorite toy.
Short attention spans...

May well be true, but Senator Coons and his party are better than that, no? They are better. They're actually sticking up for some "forgotten men and women" who have been failed by the Trump administration. Good for them. And - for what it's worth - you are aware that very few people (let alone 300 million) are actually endangered by a government shutdown, right? Dems talking out of the other side of their mouths from when Republicans wanted to shut down the government.

Just parroting back what I have always heard from Democrats about shutting down the government. I assume it is equally dangerous now as then. But protecting the Dreamers makes it all okay Huh?

we will endanger 300,000,000 for the benefit of 800,000. AKA the M.O. of the Trump Presidency to date (although the number of beneficiaries may not even be that high). May well be true, but Senator Coons and his party are better than that, no?

Delaware Senator Coons says today that Democrats will not vote to fund the government without a deal on DACA.
Or put another way, we will endanger 300,000,000 for the benefit of 800,000 (soon to be Democratic voters).
Nice.

Pros and cons on both sides. I think the middle ground is to allow immediate eligibility but only once in a career.

Agreed. That said, the better player gets away with non-pristine fundamentals more often than does the lesser player.
Our talent level currently leaves no margin for error.

This game is Top 25 vs. Top of the MEAC. We have a talent deficit to make up.

While our problem have been end game situations, this game screams out to me as one in which we have to play well early. If we do not get run out of the building intje first 8 minutes, I think we have a chance to hang around and maybe even steal one here. We shoot fouls better than they do and if nothing else, we are due to upset somebody better than we are.
Why not today?
