Do they know that nobody gives a fuck about Michigan or Ohio?

Right? Only the people in said states care, and they absolutely despise each other. I'm sure Michigan has their own version, but when you live in Ohio they pass this down to you:

We Don't Give a Damn - Wikipedia

To the tune of the Old Gray Mare:
O, we don't give a damn for the whole state of Michigan
The whole state of Michigan, the whole state of Michigan
We don't give a damn for the whole state of Michigan, we're from Ohio
We're from Ohio...O-H
We're from Ohio...I-O
O, we don't give a damn for the whole state of Michigan
The whole state of Michigan, the whole state of Michigan
We don't give a damn for the whole state of Michigan, we're from Ohio

I'm trying to decide if this is funny that he was being sarcastic, or it's funny because she responded to it and is also being sarcastic despite her losing. Do two sarcastic comments make a right?

Eh...as a resident of Ohio I'm going to play devil's advocate. Yeah, this should be silly legislation that never sees the light of day. It is silly legislation, no doubt. That said, the rivalry and hatred between the two states is very real. It goes beyond the football field, it's existed since before Michigan became a state. It's more heated than the Oklahoma/Texas rivalry by quite a bit imo. There's bad blood that goes back generations. What I'm getting at is these two don't need any reason for a fight, they're always ready to go at each other's throats. Something as silly as a flag planting is enough to draw blood with them. You can better believe next season when they're playing in Ann Arbor there's a strong chance OSU will be out for blood and they'll be looking for revenge, and we'll see another flag planting. Then you'll see a return trip in Columbus, etc, etc. It's stupid, but that's how those two teams operate.

It's unfathomable, but that's because our team has more class than either of those programs. In 2005 Michigan State won a close one in South Bend, which ended up being Weis' first loss. They planted their flag on our field after the game. The next season in the "Hurricane Katrina" game we returned the favor in a late comeback...and a trio of Michigan State players stood on their logo at the 50 yard line, ready to defend their territory. No Irish players came to plant a flag. It was a pretty pathetic sight.

So, while the legislation is pretty silly, it also prevents a possible catalyst for future fights that will certainly occur between the two idiots. Also, to continue playing devil's advocate, there are a number of Ohio laws that are way worse than this one already. I'm still a little ticked that it's illegal to hunt whales in Ohio on a Sunday! It's also illegal to have 5 women living in a house. My wife was one of six girls in her family, I don't know how they got away with it.

It’s expensive to live in Dc. How about we stop wrapping in hundreds of unrelated efforts in with these CRs

It's good to see someone call out both sides. Dems are up in arms because their proposed budget was pared way down in terms of different projects and pork. If it actually did go up after paring, what was it in the proposed budget that caused this? Anyone know?

Gaetz is a scumbag, even if you ignore the sexual activity stuff. I cringe at the thought of him running for Senator.

Unless the field is really bad and he wins ignorant votes just off his name recognition, I feel like he won't make it out of the primary at this point.
