Credit where credit is due. LMS was right. Ripper Street was a long slog, but season 4 was a great payoff. I don't see how they move beyond season 5. - Mop Feb 6, 12:12
Huh. Gaga will be the first solo female to ever headline at Wrigley -- nm - ty97 Feb 6, 12:09 12
- what? how is that possible? -- nm - Andie Feb 6, 12:14 3

- Unless he does an epic, Glen Beck like Face Turn I do not want to hear from him. - Mel Profit Feb 6, 11:56 3

- heh - Spawn Feb 6, 11:48 4
  - That, and the "you people" line, are money. I hope those aren't the only funny parts in the movie. -- nm - Mop Feb 6, 11:50 3
    - "You see it, too!?!" -- nm - Spawn Feb 6, 11:51 2

- Yesterday on Meet The Press, Ryan insisted there would be no repair, it's repeal and re - jnine Feb 6, 11:32
- complete with requisite Hamilton quote -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Feb 6, 11:20

  - They're going to pretend that the fix is actually a repeal and replacement -- (edited) - znufrii Feb 6, 11:20 1

    - But not on religious grounds. -- nm - Spawn Feb 6, 11:41 2
      - Agreed. Which is why they're evasive about the "Muslim ban" bit, although it seems rather overt. -- nm - Mop Feb 6, 11:49 1
        
        But it still refers something to the non-majority religion. -- nm - Spawn Feb 6, 11:51

    - nerds -- nm - groiny Feb 6, 10:41 1
      - totally. They really rip on most of the awards shows or really any kind of live performance for various technical flaws -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Feb 6, 10:42
I mean, i hate to say it ... but are these paid protestors? -- (link) - Beryllium Feb 6, 10:26 10

- there's what? 40 people there? -- nm - Andie Feb 6, 10:27
I see no reason to not continue to remind Trump of the results of the popular vote -- (edited) - znufrii Feb 6, 10:24 11
- considering his tweet about how negative polls are "fake news", i agree. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 6, 11:01
- Oh, I think it's an effective multi-pronged strategy. - David, ST's Ultimate Lover Feb 6, 10:26
- I see no issue with pointing it out as a fact, just like it's a fact that he IS the POTUS b/c popular vote isn't how we elect a president. - ty97 Feb 6, 10:26 7
  - You wouldn't have seen the ad if they went for "effective" -- nm - spamlet Feb 6, 10:39 2
    - I saw the ad b/c Brian Stetler tweeted it -- nm - ty97 Feb 6, 10:39 1

  - It's a small world after all.. . . -- nm - jnine Feb 6, 11:43
  - Don't listen to the voices, Mel. -- nm - iSpam Feb 6, 10:24
  - it's that ewok song at the end of Jedi that does it to you, isn't it? -- nm - groiny Feb 6, 10:24 1
