Growing crowd of protesters on scene of police shooting in Raleigh NC -- (link) - iSpam Feb 29, 12:55 3
- I sure hope they at least wait for some facts to come out before it gets too obnoxious. -- nm - Jim Feb 29, 13:07
- Interesting (maybe) tidbit? The police chief, who will speak at 4pm, is a black woman. How often do you see that in a large US city? -- nm - ty97 Feb 29, 13:00 1
  - I see lots of black women here. -- nm - groiny Feb 29, 13:24
WWE: Fabulous Freebirds into the Hall of Fame...finally... -- (link) - Remlik Feb 29, 12:53 1
- Rolling Stone interview -- (link) - Remlik Feb 29, 12:56
I might be slow to come to this one but: Trump doesn't actually believe in anything. - ty97 Feb 29, 12:50 35
- In other news, water is wet, and the sun is again expected to rise in the east tomorrow. -- nm - znufrii Feb 29, 13:06 1
  - "It'll be great when I make it rise in the west. I'll get the Venusians to pay for it." -- nm - TWuG Feb 29, 13:07
- Doesn't he lay this out in Art of the Deal? - ReluctantCynic Feb 29, 12:58 5
  - So he'll make America great again by returning us the the cold pressed Latium standard -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 29, 13:20
  - Which one of the Rules of Acquisition is this? -- nm - Reagen Feb 29, 13:01 2
    - Oh, please, someone needs to run an ad comparing him to Ferengi. "Liquidator Trump, FCA" -- nm - TWuG Feb 29, 13:09
    - POINTS! -- nm - crash davis Feb 29, 13:03
  - I can proudly say I have never read that book. -- nm - ty97 Feb 29, 13:01
- And because of this (Diva and kilbo will appreciate) this is running through my head - ty97 Feb 29, 12:57
- I've been saying this for months - Strongbad Feb 29, 12:54 3
  - Ditto and agreed. - Mel Profit Feb 29, 13:00
  - (we all have) -- nm - Spawn Feb 29, 12:54 1
    - I haven't been! -- nm - ty97 Feb 29, 12:55
- he believes in Trump -- nm - decline Feb 29, 12:53
- He believes in Trump. That's it. -- nm - Dark Callisto Feb 29, 12:53 1
  - It really is. Whatever he says and does, it is great. Even if it contradicts what he has said and done before. -- nm - Spawn Feb 29, 12:54
- technically speaking, I think he believes in himself. Everything else is on the table -- nm - crash davis Feb 29, 12:52
- Yeah, just a little slow on that uptake. :-) -- nm - TWuG Feb 29, 12:52
- He will say anything to get ellected? Like 95 percent of our politicians? -- nm - Bacon Feb 29, 12:52 5
  - To some extent, sure, but he's taken it to a level beyond beyond what anyone else has done before. -- nm - The Death Sceire Feb 29, 13:26
  - Saying that doesn't make it so. You can actually track whether campaign promises are kept. -- nm - TWuG Feb 29, 12:53 3
    - Obama didn't keep all of his -- nm - Bacon in Ft. Lauderdale Feb 29, 13:08 2
      - You can also track whether campaign promises are believable. See "build a wall and make Mexico pay for it" -- nm - Roger More Feb 29, 13:13
      - Which is not the same as "saying anything". Seriously, that line of thinking is why Trump is about to be a nominee for the GOP. -- nm - TWuG Feb 29, 13:11
- What was your first clue? -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 29, 12:52
- That's the other thing I can't believe his supporters don't see. -- nm - Reagen Feb 29, 12:51 9
  - They don't see it? Or they don't care? -- nm - znufrii Feb 29, 12:58
  - And this is why Crubio will never beat him. They think catching him in a "lie" means they nailed him -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 29, 12:55 7
    - It's why Hillary should be worried. Trump has no rules; none that she's familiar with after 45 years in the arena. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 29, 13:00 6
      - I think the lesson for Hillary is to focus on her own messages and ignore Trump as much as possible. - Roger More Feb 29, 13:10 5
        
        She won't get her hands too dirty, personally, but the party will go scorched earth against him starting tomorrow -- (edited) - sweet baboo Feb 29, 13:14 2
        
        The more I read the more I think he'll be cut off at the neck by the DNC. - Mel Profit Feb 29, 13:22
        
        And if Romney had a "47%" comment in private, Trump will have a dozen example given in public. - TWuG Feb 29, 13:18
        
        That's what got us where we are now. -- nm - spamlet Feb 29, 13:11 1
        
        Ignoring trolls makes them troll harder, and if Hillary's going to have a mandate in office, she can't just win by the default of not-Trump. - Roger More Feb 29, 13:24
The GOP should run the Trump segment from Last Week Tonight as an infomercial. -- nm - Volnelk Feb 29, 12:49
0 to 62 mph in 2.5 seconds -- (link) - Strongbad Feb 29, 12:48
Trumps doomed now that Rick Perry is coming for him......... -- (link) - ty97 Feb 29, 12:47 2

  - I can't stop laughing -- nm - ty97 Feb 29, 12:49
NWBR, I'm fascinated by what would have happened if Britain had pushed a little harder for the Oregon territory. -- nm - Reagen Feb 29, 12:40 9
- third crack at the golden ring would have been the ticket, and Canada would be ours! -- nm - crash davis Feb 29, 12:42 4
  - either that, or I grow up eating back bacon -- nm - crash davis Feb 29, 12:45 3
    - and drinking Moosehead eh? -- nm - Remlik Feb 29, 12:47 2
      - and thinking hockey trumps football *shudders* -- nm - crash davis Feb 29, 12:49 1
        
        well you'd be playing the FOOTIE Fantasy game over at BOP for soccer. -- nm - Remlik Feb 29, 12:50
- Bacon and I would be subjects of the Crown? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 29, 12:41 3
  - God Save The Queen!! -- nm - Bacon in Ft. Lauderdale Feb 29, 12:45
  - Maybe you're still in Nebraska. -- nm - Reagen Feb 29, 12:42 1
    - Probably. Knowing my family, I would've been sent to the military, draft or no draft. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 29, 12:45
I love what that bitchy Brutally Honest Oscar voter said about Rooney Mara in 'Carol'. - Diva Feb 29, 12:40 6
- Speaking of: who does Todd Haynes have to blow in order to get an Oscar nomination? -- nm - ty97 Feb 29, 12:44 5
  - There aren't enough dicks -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 29, 12:45 3
    - Sure there are :O - Rosamund Pike Feb 29, 12:47
    - my headstone, that -- nm - ty97 Feb 29, 12:46 1
      - you give good headstone. -- nm - Spawn Feb 29, 12:47
  - One presumes he's trying. -- nm - Reagen Feb 29, 12:45
Fallout 4 peeps, today is the last day to get the Season Pass at this price. It goes up tomorrow before the DLC's drop -- nm - decline Feb 29, 12:38
No idea what this (Cruz re: Trump) is supposed to be about -- (link) - ty97 Feb 29, 12:38 3
- NYTimes did and interview with Trump and won't release the tapes for some reason -- nm - Remlik Feb 29, 12:39 2
  - here's a little more on it... -- (link) - Remlik Feb 29, 12:41 1
    - He wants to use illegals as fuel. - Spawn Feb 29, 13:09
NYT: Hillary Clinton, ‘Smart Power’ and a Dictator’s Fall -- (link) - Strongbad Feb 29, 12:36 1
- definitely in the bag for her -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 29, 12:39
I took that picture of an alligator in Andytown. I looked and looked but no signs of amoxy -- nm - Bacon in Ft. Lauderdale Feb 29, 12:35 2
- I got eaten by the Alligator -- nm - amoxy Feb 29, 12:37 1
  - and it has Internet in its belly -- nm - Bacon in Ft. Lauderdale Feb 29, 12:44
I've spent a decade spelling it with an E...muscle memory. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 29, 12:34 2
- wash cloths? -- nm - Diva Feb 29, 12:35
- so "et" ? -- nm - decline Feb 29, 12:34
Reagen just blew my mind a little on B2. - spamlet Feb 29, 12:32 4
- oh come on, you've thought before that James Franco was the center of the universe -- nm - crash davis Feb 29, 12:33 1
  - Only one human being has every thought this. - ty97 Feb 29, 12:35
- That he wants Male Hookers? -- nm - amoxy Feb 29, 12:33 1
  - Nah, that he already has enough of them without help -- nm - ty97 Feb 29, 12:34
Sneaky pick-off move, but they don't say whether he got the runner -- (link) - amoxy Feb 29, 12:31 2
- If you follow the link, it seems to say he didn't get him. They use the word "attempt" and say "commentators didn't even notice the play." -- nm - mara Feb 29, 12:41
- that is cool -- nm - crash davis Feb 29, 12:32
hey, i'm kinda busy, but if whoever is going back in time would just buy me a little Apple and Microsoft stock, that would be peachy. Thanks, mwuh. -- nm - Andie Feb 29, 12:30 6
- Ahh, to go back to December 27th, 1997. $1000 in Apple - Will Hunting Feb 29, 12:41
- I'm not greedy - 4 years ago and some NFLX would do just fine -- nm - Reagen Feb 29, 12:31
- I would my dear, but all my cash is post 1990...I'd be arrested for counterfeiting -- nm - crash davis Feb 29, 12:31 2
  - Shiii... you could've bought Apple in 2003 and still be up almost 10,000%. -- nm - Negabaronic Middle-Aged Forehead Feb 29, 12:39 1
    - heh, I forgot about that one -- nm - crash davis Feb 29, 12:40
- but mostly Apple -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 29, 12:30
Without Hitler in the 30s, do Einstein and other physicists not defect to the US? Does somebody else get the bomb first? - crash davis Feb 29, 12:29 15
- There was an episode of NOVA that kind of explored this question. - ReluctantCynic Feb 29, 12:40 4
  - iirc, (and I may not), it took Einstein to convince Roosevelt of the possibility -- nm - crash davis Feb 29, 12:43 3
    - Yes. Absolutely. I do know that. - ReluctantCynic Feb 29, 12:47 2
      - And then think of the money and manpower FDR had to allocate and make available for it during a World War -- nm - Remlik Feb 29, 12:55
      - Getting that letter had to be a bit like reading, "Mr. Obama, I urge you to create a laser death ray." -- nm - Reagen Feb 29, 12:52
- Not to mention Russia flexing it's muscles. Would Winston have targeted them? -- nm - Remlik Feb 29, 12:34 7
  - Winston had it out for the reds. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 29, 12:36
  - Hitler reneging on the Sudetenland sinks Chamberlain. Without Hitler, perhaps Winston remains a minority politician -- nm - crash davis Feb 29, 12:35 5
    - mmmm...good point. But when does Stalin grab Poland or does he focus on Japan which he was reluctant to do untilt he end. -- nm - Remlik Feb 29, 12:39 4
      - almost too many variables to think about when killing Hitler....also re: Middle East, no Hitler, no Israel -- nm - crash davis Feb 29, 12:41 3
        
        Oh yeah would the Colonial Powers still be in nominal control of the Middle East? -- nm - Remlik Feb 29, 12:43 2
        
        next year, you'll be selling a new alt history series "from the editors of SlackerTalk" -- nm - crash davis Feb 29, 12:44 1
        
        I'd even let Pixie adapt it for a screenplay. -- nm - Remlik Feb 29, 12:48
- good point. Although Oppenheimer would have still been here -- nm - decline Feb 29, 12:32 1
  - the worst-case scenario is Stalin overruns a Hitler-less Germany and puts all the scientists to work for him -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 29, 12:39
538: Don't assume Conservatives will rally around Trump -- (link) - Strongbad Feb 29, 12:27 2
- This is the biggest question to me: Does the party support him in order to get the White House? Or not support him to save themselves? - ty97 Feb 29, 12:31 1
  - I think that question (support Trump, not support Trump) is what will fracture the party. - TWuG Feb 29, 12:37
OMG! do you guys want to know about my bathroom? I took down the horrible cabinet this weekend and got paint samples. I'm practically *done* with my - sp commander amanda jones Feb 29, 12:27 4
