Ha, interesting! My guess is that this would probably result in only a net gain of 2-3 Dem reps though. I'd guess PR goes 5-0 or 4-1 Democrat, but the Florida, Minnesota and maybe the Washington seats that vanish may be Dem leaning.

Maybe, you'd have to take into account that of those states, only Florida and South Carolina have Republican governors that are ultimately in control of the redistricting (although each state has its own rules and the legislatures matters here). Net +2 D is a reasonable prediction.

In any case, if we follow the more recent historical model, Puerto Rico's single observer in the House would become its Representative (and face a biannual reelection) until the nationwide reapportionment occurs following 2020. So obviously the priority list is going to be jumbled around a bit due to varying growth rates and internal migration.
 
Nope other than the sky is still falling.
 
You put your tongue between your lips and blow to make a farting sound. The name "Bronx cheer" came about ostensibly because fans of the New York Yankees - who play in the South Bronx - became famous for making that noise to signal their disapproval during games.

This isn't to say that the idea is unique to New Yorkers or Americans. Making fart noises is a reasonably universal thing. A lot of people both inside and outside the US refer to the sound as "making a raspberry" instead.

ahh, thank you...I never before heard of the term when I came across it this week. (and it did involve NY though the Rangers, not the Yankees). I never heard of myking a raspberry either...I don't think there's a term for this in german (not that we're too polite to do such things, mind you ;) )
 
When I hear about Dachs, I get "Schleiffen plan.. do not mention... angry!". Could I have the link to the thread which started everything?
 
Does statutory rape still apply if there isn't much age difference between the two? For instance, can a 17 year-old do it with an 18 year-old?
 
Age is not a major factor, but could be the difference between being tried as a juvenile or an adult.

Depends on the state. Some states are unequivocal on the matter, but others tend to give some leeway if the difference between ages is not too great.
 
Wut?

Why, what had he written, Mr Empire?
I dunno, I saw this convo long after he edited it. :lol: It was just too funny to pass up.
