Bannon was NOT on board with bring removed from the National Security Council, threatened to quit. -- (link) - Mop Apr 6, 14:33 3
- you're all cucks!!!!! -- nm - Former President Bannon Apr 6, 14:34
- He denies threatening to quit -- nm - ty97 Apr 6, 14:34 1
  - yes yes. he was just there to keep an eye on Flynn. Also Nunes recused himself because of the liberals. -- nm - Jovian Apr 6, 14:35
After 11 weeks as President, Trump boasts "we’ve had one of the most successful 13 weeks in the history of the presidency." -- (link) - ty97 Apr 6, 14:27 10
- Sad! -- nm - amoxy Apr 6, 14:33
- I guess. -- nm - Remlik Apr 6, 14:32
- I've perhaps been too hard on Trump. He has had a better first 11 weeks than William Henry Harrison. -- nm - crash davis Apr 6, 14:31 3
  - If only he was out of office that quick -- nm - Jovian Apr 6, 14:36
  - Are we sure? - ty97 Apr 6, 14:35 1
    - Maybe he loses on the policy level, but I am thinking of the personal level :) -- nm - crash davis Apr 6, 14:36
- even if you *do* support the things he promised, he's done basically nothing that he promised. -- nm - Andie Apr 6, 14:28 2
  - I keep thinking of everything he says in business terms. Imagine an employee asking for a pat on the back with that record. - Max Apr 6, 14:33
  - He's obviously been very unsuccessful, I'm just cracking up at the error in number of weeks -- nm - ty97 Apr 6, 14:29
- At least he's aware this seems to be taking f**king forever. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 6, 14:28
W. Kamau Bell’s PSA to black youth: "Do not give cops Pepsi as a way to stop them from abusing you" -- (link) - GregW Apr 6, 14:18 4
- Because they'll plant coke on you regardless. -- nm - Qale Apr 6, 14:21 3
  - boom -- nm - Max Apr 6, 14:26

sitwap -Close to Half of American Adults Infected With Genital HPV, Study Finds -- (link) - crash davis Apr 6, 14:11
I think David may be right. - ReluctantCynic Apr 6, 14:09 1
- "may"? - Da5id Apr 6, 14:24
Impact Wrestling: DJZ who took a 450 splash had his colon ruptured & other internal injuries... - Remlik Apr 6, 14:07 1
- That sounds gross. -- nm - Da5id Apr 6, 14:32
OK, I'll post the coda to the boxes when I'm waiting at Abby's guitar lesson, between 6:00 and 6:30 pm eastern today -- nm - pfm: head shaved in *1 day*! Apr 6, 14:05 1
- You better not have disposed of them without looking inside -- nm - zork Apr 6, 14:07
Can you make an MVP argument for someone other than Russell Westbrook? -- nm - crash davis Apr 6, 14:04 14
- Since Harden's the favorite, yes. -- nm - Da5id Apr 6, 14:31 2
  - I think Will is right "too mythic to overlook" -- nm - crash davis Apr 6, 14:33 1
    - Will's not having a good posting day. OKC is down from last year. Houston is up. That matters. -- nm - Da5id Apr 6, 14:38
- Sure. Not a good one, but .... James Harden is putting up 29/11/8 for a team that's 8 games better than Russell's team. - Will Hunting Apr 6, 14:10 3
  - so you'd be surprised if Harden wins? -- nm - crash davis Apr 6, 14:13 2
    - I would -- both are otherworldly at this point -- but a triple double average is too mythic to overlook - Will Hunting Apr 6, 14:16 1
      - the only objection I have to Westbrook is residual sour grapes ("That should be Seattle's MVP trophy") which isn't his fault -- nm - crash davis Apr 6, 14:18
- Yes, I've heard good arguments for Harden. LeBron and Leonard are close but for me it's Westbrook or Harden. -- nm - Krusty Apr 6, 14:07 5
  - I guess a triple double is just statistical noise, but it just makes it seem like the most well rounded game out there -- nm - crash davis Apr 6, 14:09 4
    - Here's a comparison between Harden and Westbrook -- both are absurd. - Will Hunting Apr 6, 14:14 3
      - They're basically even and with Harden's team winning more games I can see him taking the MVP. -- nm - Krusty Apr 6, 14:20
      - you're right, both are having absurd season averages -- nm - crash davis Apr 6, 14:16 1
        
        Like a guy like John Wall is putting up 24 and 11 with 2 steals a game and he isn't close to the conversation - Will Hunting Apr 6, 14:18
- no way. -- nm - mud Apr 6, 14:06
Reds. First place. -- nm - Volnelk Apr 6, 13:58
Hmm, seems the sharks game isn't being broadcast at home -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 13:49 1
- most of their games are on one of the regional/local cable sports channels. giants are playing around the same time, so it'll be NBCS CA . -- nm - b. Apr 6, 14:13
I think what happened in Syria is a disgrace to humanity, and he [Assad's] there, and I guess he’s running things, so I guess something should happen. -- (link) - Actual quote from Trump Apr 6, 13:44 5
- I was debating whether to post that or not. I love how we have a crisply defined foreign policy with no ambiguity whatsoever. -- nm - crash davis Apr 6, 13:45 4
  - I guess. -- nm - mara Apr 6, 13:46 3
    - I was being sarcastic on my second sentence by the way :) -- nm - crash davis Apr 6, 13:48 2
      - Oh, I know! I was echoing Trump's "I guess." -- nm - mara Apr 6, 13:56 1
        
        doh, so subtle I missed it :) -- nm - crash davis Apr 6, 13:59
Don Rickles had a pretty good baseball story. -- (link) - mara Apr 6, 13:15 6
- Top 5 comedian for me. One of the funniest people to ever walk the Earth. -- nm - Krusty Apr 6, 13:53
- Saw him at the Golden Nugett with my mom and her friend almost 20 years ago - eag Apr 6, 13:36
- He tells that in the Comedians in Cars episode. -- nm - Volnelk Apr 6, 13:22 1
  - Which I haven't been able to load.. - Marlowe Apr 6, 13:22
- ha! -- nm - pfm: head shaved in *1 day*! Apr 6, 13:19
- I just spent the last 90 minutes or so watching him.. - Marlowe Apr 6, 13:19
my neighborhood association president is the worst. "what happened at the meeting where the yearlong closure of our busiest street was discussed?" - amanda jones state university Apr 6, 13:14 3
- don't you have to *born* there to get elected to office? I heard some of those east coast small towns are rather provincial -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 6, 13:16 2
  - that's maine. -- nm - amanda jones state university Apr 6, 13:17 1
    - yeah... and if you even move towns, you're considered an outsider again. -- nm - colin Apr 6, 14:07
Ryan Howard signs minor league deal with Braves -- (link) - crash davis Apr 6, 13:05 2
- We had pinch hitting situations last night where Jace Peterson and Emilion Bonifacio were the best options. - Da5id Apr 6, 13:08 1
  - I love a good comeback story. Best of luck to him. -- nm - crash davis Apr 6, 13:17
I hadn't considered this....today, apparently because of some anti-nepotism regulations within the university or the athletic dept, Patrick Ewing had - pfm: head shaved in *1 day*! Apr 6, 13:00 6
- That's really strange. If they guy already had the job, he shouldn't have to quit. - Da5id Apr 6, 13:09 4
  - But it's about the opportunity for nepotism to exist going forward. (I agree with pfm that the university should have disclosed their policy in the - Roger More Apr 6, 13:43
  - Don't know, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't disclosed during the hiring process -- nm - pfm: head shaved in *1 day*! Apr 6, 13:28
  - *hesitantly answers no* - Patrick Ewing Apr 6, 13:24 1
    - I was here first. You're fired, dad! *You're* fired! -- nm - Ewing Jr. Apr 6, 13:26
- sad. -- nm - President Trump Apr 6, 13:05
CBS News report: Congress may completely ignore Trump's requested budget cuts and increased funding for things like the wall - decline Apr 6, 12:54 3
- Good. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Apr 6, 13:31
- (which is usually what happens) -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 12:56 1
  - So it's fine then? -- nm - Roger More Apr 6, 12:59
So two days is more than enough time for the our landlord's agent or the landlord to get back to us about being allowed a second dog, right? - IrishStephen Apr 6, 12:48 6
- silence = consent ??? -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 6, 13:18
- Due to the nature of our town, a lot of times two days isn't near enough to get an answer. - crash davis Apr 6, 13:13
- Maybe ... maybe not. I'd give it another day before following up. -- (edited) - ReluctantCynic Apr 6, 12:59 3
  - I'm about to stress eat an entire Little Caesar smokehouse pizza! - IrishStephen Apr 6, 13:08 2
    - I think I'm going to cook something next week, just so I have an excuse to eat garlic bread on the side. -- nm - Roger More Apr 6, 13:13 1
      - (decided. grilled T-bone served Florentine-style with lemon juice) -- nm - Roger More Apr 6, 13:16
My best work friend and I, who I've known for 15 years have a tradition of giving... - Mel Profit Apr 6, 12:44
OK, last pitch. The St. Baldrick's Foundation does a lot of great work funding studies for the prevention and treating of childhood cancer. - pfm: head shaved in *1 day*! Apr 6, 12:38 13
- the school where i'm doing my student teaching / classroom observations right now did a fund raiser for this a couple of weeks ago ... - call me Ishmael Apr 6, 13:31
- why won't they accept a donation without my phone number, seems they want a LOT of Personal Info just to donate -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 6, 13:29 3
  - just make it up. my fake phone number is random area code 5MARY50. 212-562-7950. boom, that's your number. -- nm - amanda jones state university Apr 6, 13:32 2
    - ok, lie to a kid with cancer...done. humm St BALDricks, now I get it. -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 6, 13:44 1
      - The kids with cancer aren't calling you. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 6, 13:54
- If I donate, would you do an unboxing video of opening The Box? -- nm - zork Apr 6, 12:46 6
  - Maybe! (there's actually a postscript to the boxes that I need to relate at some time) -- nm - pfm: head shaved in *1 day*! Apr 6, 12:48 5
    - (you should leverage this -"if i get $75 more in donations, i will share the story with you..." -- nm - Andie Apr 6, 13:06 1
      - I'm not putting in any money - only pledges - until I see it. -- nm - Roger More Apr 6, 13:18
    - yes. yes you do. -- nm - Diva Apr 6, 13:02
    - Only maybe? - zork Apr 6, 12:50 1
      - OK, done. I'm trusting you -- nm - zork Apr 6, 14:06

Someone got an insane amount of data, and created a National Precinct Map for the 2008, 2012, and 2016 elections -- (link*) - MDH Apr 6, 12:23 14
- Someone has way too much time on their hands. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Apr 6, 12:37
- Three initial thoughts leap out: - Name Withheld by Request Apr 6, 12:34 12
  - Oh we know how un blue we are, here in WA it's King Co/seattle and a few 50/50 counties, the rest of the state is as red as kansas - zeitgeist Apr 6, 13:22 1
    - Which is a problem with the way most state legislatures are set up. The 300 people and 25,000 cattle in one county have representation equal to - crash davis Apr 6, 13:25
  - On number one, don't make the mistake of equating area with population. You'd come to a flip conclusion on Alaska. -- nm - crash davis Apr 6, 13:22 8
    - No, totally granted, but still one in three Californians did vote Trump in November. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Apr 6, 13:36 7
      - I figure you understand, but let me hammer on the population/area in the West. WA state has 39 counties, do a sort on this list by population - crash davis Apr 6, 13:44 6
        
        I don't think it's news (at least to those paying attention) but NWBR is right that there are lots of Hollywood/Silicon Valley types who don't give - Roger More Apr 6, 13:46 5
        
        Yeah. It was just a comment that even one in three voters is still a healthy chunk of non-homogeneous vote. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Apr 6, 13:51 4
        
        I believe its the opposite. Trump did the worst that a Republican has ever done in California (to the best of my knowledge) -- nm - crash davis Apr 6, 13:58 3
        
        It's different ways of looking at the same thing. The stereotype is "liberal Californian", but the reality is obviously deeper. - Roger More Apr 6, 14:04 2
        
        Not at all coincidental that areas with greater diversity (cities) tend to be more liberal than areas that aren't very diverse (rural). - TWuG Apr 6, 14:14 1
        
        Though in many suburban neighbourhoods that isn't always the case. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Apr 6, 14:16

    - I think my elementary school had maybe 300 kids total from K-5 -- nm - Will Hunting, King of ST Brackets Apr 6, 12:49 1
      - My first school was likely less than 100 (in 3 rooms) When we moved down to the coast it was more like 300 but that included - Meg Apr 6, 12:58
- That's a lot of popsicle sticks. -- nm - Reagen Apr 6, 12:35
- good gravy, that must be a huge school -- nm - pfm: head shaved in *1 day*! Apr 6, 12:32 1
  - We get to tour it next week. The thing I really like about it is that it's basically split in two; each side is a mirror of the other. - kelly Apr 6, 13:40
I've got two songs stuck in my head and I keep transitioning back and forth between them. - Baronspringa Apr 6, 12:19

Huh. WestJet just gave me 75 reward dollars unprompted, I expect due to the WiFi not working on the trip back -- nm - Reagen Apr 6, 12:10 8
- How did you pass the time on the flight back? -- nm - Da5id Apr 6, 12:28 1
  - Downloaded Netflix stuff. So sure, I'll take their reward bucks. -- nm - Reagen Apr 6, 12:29
- and forcing you to fly in the cargo hold, strapped down to a shipping pallet. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 6, 12:15 3
  - Mrs. Zork had a young coworker who flew passenger on a cargo flight and died of a blood clot -- nm - zork Apr 6, 12:49 2
    - urg. sad. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 6, 12:58 1
      - forgot to mention that it was to Australia (her home country) -- nm - zork Apr 6, 13:59
- yyyyeah, that was it. And as long as you didn't see any problems, we didn't have any problems. -- nm - WestJet Apr 6, 12:12 1
  - I'm here, so whatever. -- nm - Reagen Apr 6, 12:22
Youtube TV is now in LA. Hmm I am drawn to the unlimited DVR -- nm - James Bond (aka on phone) Apr 6, 12:01 1
