- Handle: Richard MacDuff -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 12:18

- Bon voyage 8-) -- nm - JD Nov 12, 11:50
I really liked Arrival, but I'm surprised it managed a B Cinemascore. The movie most similar to it in terms of tone is Solaris. -- nm - David Nov 12, 11:34 3
- We saw it last night here in Queenstown - I liked it and their movie theatre was great! Fun to see a flick here for the experience. -- nm - JenBro Nov 12, 11:41

- Tell me more, tell me more, did you get very far? -- nm - Roger More Nov 12, 11:35 2
  - HA! it wasn't her. -- nm - Remlik Nov 12, 11:49 1
    - Thank goodness, because there are some really questionable lyrics in that song. -- nm - Roger More Nov 12, 11:57
- Woah!! -- nm - Bacon Nov 12, 11:19
Where is Kellyanne Conway going to end up in the Trump WH? He would be still having Twitter Wars if not for her - amoxy Nov 12, 11:05 10
- why was she on MSNBC most of the time and not CNN since she was the A team, Mcninny seemed B team -- nm - z Nov 12, 13:47
- Dept. of Ugly -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 12, 11:34
- Don't forget his penchant for simply not paying people, he no longer needs her, she signed a NDA so she can't say anything -- nm - z Nov 12, 11:20
- Press Secretary, most likely. -- nm - Reagen Nov 12, 11:07 5
  - That would be a big step down form Campaign Manager. But looking at lists of candidates, I see only one female - amoxy Nov 12, 11:10 4
    - Palin for anything is such a huge joke -- nm - Bacon Nov 12, 11:15 3
      - He should name her Ambassador to Russia -- nm - Strongbad Nov 12, 11:16 2

Steve Bannon for Chief of Staff? -- (link) - amoxy Nov 12, 10:46
Trump doesn't want to live in White House full-time -- (link) - budice Nov 12, 10:44 8
- Trump Tower? That would be a huge security nightmare -- nm - amoxy Nov 12, 10:48 6
  - not only that but the cost for Secret Service to fortify that building will be insane and the US taxpayers will be forced to pay that -- nm - Remlik Nov 12, 10:52 4
    - It will never happen. The WH has infrastructure and security measures that can not be duplicated on a whim. (nm) - Mel Profit Nov 12, 11:29 1
      - You mean putting anti aircraft batteries on Trump Tower wouldn't work? -- nm - Bacon Nov 12, 11:30
    - [deleted] 1
      - Oh boo hoo the state that didn't vote for me is going to have disruptions. -- nm - Trump Nov 12, 11:00

"We tapped that ass all over this house" - amoxy Nov 12, 10:23
What would be worse for America: 4 years of Trump, 8 years of Trump, or the EC altering votes so Hillary wins? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 10:16 12
- If the EC was to flip the vote (it won't he has too big a lead) it would lead to worse problems. Much worse. I will take 4 Trump years over that -- nm - Bacon Nov 12, 11:28 1
  - I know, right? And it's not like everything would be unicorns and utopias under Hillary. It would just sow resentment. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 11:34
- we have one one self announced 'faithless' EC rep who refuses to vote hill (he's a berniac) and that's a shit storm here - z Nov 12, 11:27
- We have little to no clue what Option 1 or Option 2 would bring. We really don't. Option 3 would undermine our democratic system. - ty97 Nov 12, 10:31 1
  - [deleted]
- If Trump misrepresented himself in the campaign and would actually pursue progressive policies, I'd rather have the non-inciteful version of the same - Max Nov 12, 10:23
- Long term? Third option.. - Marlowe Nov 12, 10:21 5
  - This is what I'm thinking. But if that's the case, the EC doesn't really have a reason to exist. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 10:23 4
    - (Because they're not checking and balancing. This has happened twice in 16 years.) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 10:25 1

- I'm amazed it's not Vince himself -- nm - eag Nov 12, 10:06 1

I realize this isn't a simple thing, but in the voter supression states, there needs to be an organized effort to make sure people get ID - Reagen Nov 12, 07:49 8
