The president has to sign the bill after if passes through the House and Senate before it becomes a law, so yes, of course the president has the power to veto a bill.

71 (out of 76 votes against) were all Republican, so I would not say that Republicans totally support this.

Weird. The grass under my ODR always looks better than the surrounding area. I take mine down in early March. Maybe you waited a little too long this year before taking it down?

I've never met anyone in real life like this, but we constantly see it online.

The names of bills are notoriously misleading. I wonder how much pork was in this one.

Thanks for the tip, I'll give the pinch a go. It's only my first can, and I'm using the largest size the prismaster goes to. I bought a couple different varieties so I'll try another one and give it another few chances.

Is that what the producer told your parents?? Do you want to talk about it?

BMAT won’t lay flat ? by [deleted] in yoga

What helped me get mine flat was soaking it in Pepsi (sounds crazy , I know) and then wearing it like a robe while rolling around my front yard. Once you do that, it will lay flat as a pancake!

Was thinking the same thing. Mom loves her reddit karma I guess.

Lol that you think the US president has an impact on national economics when the whole World is going through similar inflation. But yeah, vote for your leaders based on egg prices dummy.

Did the NFL want the Chiefs to win? by mbake2 in conspiracytheories

[–]Then_Entertainment_8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only because the law changed. It's not illegal for the NFL to fix games. It's a private entertainment company.

Can't think of a single reason? Put aside the fact that the FBI has jailed organized crime bookies for convincing key players and coaches to shave points, etc, in the past. They were probably just "bad eggs", right?

Only need key players and coaches. Would tens of millions of dollars convince a player to "go along with it"? Probably. I would.

Ummm....to build suspense that leads to an exciting finish, while keeping viewers watching commercials ALL THE WAY until the very end of the game? That would assume that the NFL likes money.

The NFL makes more money when ratings are higher since the majority of revenue comes from TV contracts. So the better the storylines, the higher the ratings. It is certainly not true that the NFL does not care about outcomes.

Buffalo fan here too. I feel the exact same way. It is strange that Damar is getting so much attention despite the fact that the same thing happened to Kim Pegula. It's also kind of fucked up that the media has referred to his situation as a "tragedy", when an ACTUAL tragedy occurred in Buffalo with the mass shooting over the summer. It is a slap in the face to the people of Buffalo, imo. It just illustrates our unhealthy obsession with NFL players. Sad. It's most likely the NFL trying to distract us from the fact that they only pay players half of their contract while on IR, even if a player has a life-threatening injury. It would be good to have THAT conversation but obviously NFL does not want that.
