- Lame quiz -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 11, 12:17
- I prefer the "La La Land or Nicki Minaj?" quiz. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 11, 09:48
- Someone was asking for an over-under on what day he leaves office. I would easily take the over on that, every time. - Beryllium Feb 11, 08:34 12
  - Well, what's *your* over-under guess? For instance, do you think there's a 50-50 chance he completes his first term and is re-elected? - mara Feb 11, 08:43 10
    - If Bannon stays in the whitehouse more than a year, I think there's more like a 60-75% chance of re-election -- nm - Beryllium Feb 11, 08:46 5
      - (And this is why I would take the over: because the third election might go well for him, as well) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 11, 08:47 4
        
        Would you take the over if the over-under is 7 years in office? -- nm - mara Feb 11, 08:51 3
        
        And if so, how much money would you like to put on it? -- nm - mara Feb 11, 08:52 2

    - It isn't what he said to Arianne Zucker while he was live-miked with Billy Bush? -- nm - Roger More Feb 11, 09:36
- I think the likliehood of him "going down" (ie ending up impeached) is higher than with any other recent president. But I'm not counting on it. - Cuzzin Todd Feb 11, 08:20 1
  - I'm counting on it because I can't not count on it. -- nm - mud Feb 11, 08:27

  - If he had got 1 more point he would have become just the third player to put up a 5x5 multiple times. -- (edited) - Beaker Feb 11, 08:38 1

    - I like several of her songs.... this is just awful. I can't believe they picked it as her lead single. -- nm - Dano Feb 11, 06:10 1
      - I wonder if they did it b/c of the politics? -- nm - ty97 Feb 11, 06:11
