“When they talk about the government shutdown, they’re going to be talking about the president of the United States, who the president was at that time. They’re not going to be talking about who was the head of the House, the head the Senate, who’s running things in Washington. So I really think the pressure is on the president.”
–Donald Trump, 9/2013

The front page of the Denver Post's sports section headline article is about the New Orleans Pelicans versus the Minnesota Timberwolves NBA game on Monday written by an AP sports reporter. There is no Denver connection in the story. It appears that some type of mistake resulted in the paper printing a front page story that was written for a New Orleans or Minnesota audience.
Unless January 2 has now become the new April 1, this is going to be a very weird year.
Maybe they’re hoping to be traded away from the Broncos ??? . . .
Curious— my 2 star electronic edition available at 5am this morning has Nuggets and Bronco coverage on the front page of the sports section. Are you in the boonies and getting an early, early bird edition perhaps?
Or, as you say, Alden’s print shop in Adams county could have tangled up the printers which supply many other papers on the same production lines.
I'm in the boonies, and I've got New Orleans v Minnesota on my sports page. It recycles like all the rest.
Electrons travel faster than delivery trucks. All the more reason to save money and trees (as I write this from sunny 80 degree Florida😎)
Nope. I'm in Centennial. I sent a picture of the page to Mark Kiszla asking him if any humans still work at the Denver Post and whether he was a human. He answered "yes and yes". (I like Kiszla. It's about the only reason to get the Post anymore.)
Dang! Getting from 60th and Washington in Adams county to the south side of Denver shouldn’t take that long unless that is the last stop on their circuit around the 470 loop…
Kizsla has to be human. Artificial intelligence would be wrong much less often.
Well, we're officially in the 15 month period where we all have to pretend we give a tinker's dam about Iowa. Life is hard.
In some respects, the 2020 elections started before the 2018 elections finished.
LMAO. Y'all Dems don't even know how to win.
Nancy Pelosi Rams Austerity Provision Into House Rules Package Over Objections of Progressives
The answer is quite simple. If the LWNJs want to spend a lot of money on free stuff for people, they simply need to combined that legislation with tax increases – presumably only on "rich" people. (Whatever that means.)
There is nothing wrong with Pay-Go.
Depending on WHICH version of pay-go was "rammed in" (by a majority vote, presumably), it means only that in the House, something has to be popular enough to get a slightly larger majority, a willingness to explicitly write in that the bill is an exception to the rules, or a revenue source (higher taxes or off-set from somewhere else) to pass.
In this Congress, it won't matter for Democratic goals. Anything the House is going to pass that costs money or is particularly progressive won't go anywhere in the Senate, and certainly wouldn't be allowed to be a "win" by the *resident, so he'd veto it.
On the other hand, it provides an additional way to sink Republican maneuvers — "where's the money?" can expose Republican hypocrisy on some versions of "health care reform" or a 350 ship Navy.
In a choice between Democrats, I'd prefer Nancy Pelosi, soon to be the new Speaker, over Waleed Shahid, a communication professional (I've not heard of before) for a fringe advocacy group.
Nobody cares about Republican hypocrisy– least of all Republicans. It's a fight you guys can have, but it's not a worthwhile one. Y’all act as if winning the news cycle is actually winning.
Also, there are others who oppose Paygo. Like these hard leftists…[checks notes]…economist Paul Krugman and Obama advisor Dan Pfeiffer?
I'd like to think that this is some 3 – D chess move on Pelosi's part – obviously we can't pay for Drumpf's sacred Wall because it isn't pay-go, (it’s magic money, just the way Trump received $413 million from Daddy Trump anytime he needed it) – so it's an attempt to appeal to deficit hawk Republicans.
But it probably isn't 3D chess, and it won't appeal to deficit hawks – because nobody talks about the frigging deficit anymore, now that the GOP has stopped pretending to care. The infamous debt clock has been removed from all of the GOP pages I browse.
And the deficit has increased 17% over last year.
I’d love to hear from some of our GOP trolls if any are still lurking – Moderatus, Carnegie, Negev, Pear – does pay-go make ya wanna dance with the Dems in the pale moonlight?
I don 't regard either Negev or Pear as a troll. Just a gunnie and a conservative Republican, respectively.
Oh, you get down the fiddle and you get down the bow
kick off your shoes and you throw 'em on the floor.
dance in the kitchen 'til the morning light.
Louisiana Saturday night!
Now, if that song don't get you dancin', it's time to call the coroner.
It isn't chess. She, and Democrats like her, actually like PAYGO. What I'm curious to see is how many House "progressives" choose, along with Ro Khanna, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to vote against the rules package that includes this.
The bad economics of PAYGO swamp any strategic gain from adopting it
