Well it looks like there are enough signatures to start the recall of the governor. So will Wisconsin really go through with this. I like the swing states in this country cause you guys hold the course of the whole nation in your hands. It's tought to get a real read on how all of this labor issue plays out, so what are boys in Wisconsin hearing?

I think people in Wisconsin are idiots. They wanted no increased taxes, but the deficit eliminated and wanted more jobs. That's what we all want, right? It's like the Wisconsin people said they wanted an omelet and then got all pissy when they saw eggs being broken. And also feel the spending should be controlled better, but then bitched about cuts. Really people? If you don't want increased taxes you need to allocate money elsewhere!

A bunch of fucktards if you ask me.

I am no Scott Walker fan, but I think the most satisfying possible outcome after all the handwringing on both sides of the aisle would be for Scott Walker to win reelection. It brings me no little amusement to know the Democrats still don't even have a clear idea of who they want to be their candidate in the upcoming election.

I'd laugh about Wisconsin idiocies...

...but then I remind myself that Iowa elects people like Tom Harkin and Terry Branstad over and over again.

Guys. You all have nothing on California. We elect freaking actors as Governors and complete morons as Senators. Our state is a joke. We literally had to pay state employees with IOUs (not making this up) and there were signs on some banks that said that they weren't accepting IOUs.

It's a rare day I agree with Bill Maher, but he hit this ball out of the park.

Wisconsin’s recall law exists to assure the consent of the governed

“The principle underlying the recall of public officers has been defined as an effective speedy remedy to remove an official who is not giving satisfaction to the public and whom the electors do not want to remain in office, regardless of whether he is discharging his full duty to the best of his ability and as his conscience dictates.”

At a recent gathering, Sen. Mark Miller reminded me of the power Wisconsin’s constitution gives the people.
He said, “We govern with the consent of the governed. And they have the right to withdraw their consent.”

Alas, the existence of a right says nothing about the intelligence or wisdom of those exercising it.

Zero2Cool (16h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (20h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (20h) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (21h) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (21h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (21h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (21h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (22h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (22h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (22h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (22h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (22h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (22h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (22h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (22h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (22h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
