To me its meaning is about the same as the one at a professional boxing match. It means that the preliminaries are over and real fight is about to begin.
Mr. Spock: To expect sense from two mentalities of such extreme view points is not logical.
Sulu: Their state is dead. Does it matter now which one’s right?
Mr. Spock: Not to Rauner and Madigan. All that matters to them is their hate.

It’s a shame one of them didn’t put a charcoal briquette in their palm. I’d be willing to bet a diamond would’ve fallen out.

It’s all a sham. No way s budget gets passed this year or next. No way Madigan will allow The gov to get that press or satisfaction.

You’re going to have to do even better at “stretchin’,” Governor, if you want to make a deal.

The Gov. seems to think he is the owner of the state. This is not your company or stock. If you don’t like it quit.

Goes to show which has the biggest problems. 1.4% is up to his arm pit in them. While the Speaker is merely leaning over.
