You were warned everyone. You were warned. This is terrible, and now everything is being swept under a rug. -- nm - MDH May 9, 15:18
from bb, I think goldie hawn has looked much better and more like herself recently. -- nm - b. May 9, 15:17
"Its not healthy to do more than 50 jumps at a time" -- nm - budice May 9, 15:12
Trump fired Comey. -- nm - Callisto Buffalomeat May 9, 14:46 36
- Comey becomes anonymous news source in 3...2...1... -- nm - znufrii May 9, 15:04 4
  - Actually, I don't think he will. If he's going to speak up it will be publicly, because I think he believes that he acts on principle. - pmb May 9, 15:07 2
    - Yep. -- nm - Callisto Buffalomeat May 9, 15:18
    - I agree with this analysis. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 9, 15:11
  - That whole place is going to be leaking like a sieve in the near term over this. -- nm - ty97 May 9, 15:05
- "Specialists" -- (link) - ty97 May 9, 15:01
- "Just spoke to a source on House Intel who didn't know about firing. House is on recess. Unclear the effect on congressional investigations." -- (link) - ty97 May 9, 14:59
- His latest blatant lies to Congress were just too much to shrug off and Trump couldn't figure a way to blame Obama. -- nm - GregW May 9, 14:53 6
  - Trump now gets to replace the guy investigating his campaign's ties to Russia. You don't think he's been waiting to find a way? -- nm* - ty97 May 9, 14:54 5
    - An independent counsel seems likely. Or more likely than it seemed before, anyway. -- nm - mara May 9, 15:18 1
      - There will be a lot more pressure for it. Though I think the indpendent counsel would still be looking to the FBI for the investigatory elements. -- nm - pmb May 9, 15:20
    - I mean this just reeks of conflict of interest. It's the equivalent of Nixon firing the special prosecutor. -- nm - pmb May 9, 14:59 2
      - They are claiming the firing is over mishandling of the e-mail investigation and doing it with an apparently straight face. - ty97 May 9, 15:02 1
        
        So they think he's *less* dangerous with no job?!?! -- nm - Reagen May 9, 15:05
- I know libs are mad at him over October and over the Huma thing yesterday, but I expect this still comes back to bite Trump some - ty97 May 9, 14:49 18
  - Libs I'll suggest to you: This is NOT a good thing that he was fired. -- nm - ty97 May 9, 14:51 17
    - I agree. -- nm - Callisto Buffalomeat May 9, 15:01
    - Very much no, however: this guarantees the scandal is around his neck for however long he remains in office. - Reagen May 9, 14:59 4
      - I was thinking of the IM as well - ty97 May 9, 15:04
      - I look forward to Trump claiming he did it because it was unethical that he made public the re-opening of the Clinton investigation. - pmb May 9, 15:01 2
        
        read this second paragraph. -- (link) - mud May 9, 15:03 1
        
        he literally got Future Endeavored. That is funny. -- nm - Mel Profit May 9, 15:13
    - Can't be worse than Sessions running the Justice Dept. Can it? -- nm - Krusty May 9, 14:54 10
      - Trump just fired the guy investigating his campaign's ties to a hostile foreign government. - ty97 May 9, 15:03 9
        
        The obvious choice will be . . . Jared Kushner. -- nm - pmb May 9, 15:08 3
        
        No law degree or background in law enforcement. I don't think there's even a tiny chance for him. -- nm - Krusty May 9, 15:12 2
        
        Do I need to remind you that we have a guy with a degree in animal husbandry as head of the Dept. of Energy? - pmb May 9, 15:15 1
        
        Good point. :-) -- nm - Krusty May 9, 15:20
        
        Oh, I get it. I was just having some fun with the fact that just about everyone he picks is terrible for the job. - Krusty May 9, 15:06 4
        
        Rudy! Rudy! Rudy! -- nm - ty97 May 9, 15:08 3
        
        Sheriff Clarke. -- nm - mara May 9, 15:14 1
        
        Sheriff Joe. -- nm - pmb May 9, 15:16
        
        Oh god... -- nm - znufrii May 9, 15:08
- Wow. I didn't see this coming. I figured all of his help to get Trump elected would have bought him more than a few months. -- nm* - Krusty May 9, 14:49
- "Go find Christie and the two of you go get your shine boxes." -- nm - Mel Profit May 9, 14:48
- statement from Spicer -- (link) - ty97 May 9, 14:47
I have known fear when faced with food now. - Will Hunting May 9, 14:41 2
- I'm sure it was a bit much as your side-dish for with your 2 lbs. of spaghetti. -- nm - pmb May 9, 15:22
- does it come with a lipitor shake? -- nm - b. May 9, 14:43
'Taken' saved from the jaws of the Cancel Bear. Renewed for 2nd 16 episode season. -- (link*) - GregW May 9, 14:32 10
- It's completely ridiculous, but as someone else mentioned before, they find a way to get the shirt off the star almost every episode. -- nm - . May 9, 14:36 9
  - They sort of figured this out on "Vikings" with this guy. - Mel Profit May 9, 14:43 6
    - Clearly their plan worked since it kept you watching. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd May 9, 14:47
    - Oh hell, I didn't even realize it was that guy. -- nm - IrishStephen May 9, 14:46 4
      - Diva had to point it out to me when the show started, I wouldn't have guessed. -- nm - Mel Profit May 9, 14:47 3
        
        I knew from the nips. -- nm - Diva May 9, 14:53 2
        
        I'm thinking you don't mean tiny portions of alcohol. -- nm - Mel Profit May 9, 15:14 1
        
        heh-heh... -- nm - Diva May 9, 15:16
  - That had to be the only reason Rosewood got renewed last year. At least Taken has some good action sequences. -- nm - GregW May 9, 14:38 1
    - I've seen it several times, have no idea what's going on, but find the eye candy makes up for it. -- nm - . May 9, 14:42

Jimmy Carter: Trump is right. Canada’s lumber trade practices are unfair. -- (link) - ty97 May 9, 14:28
Denver's been running the risk of falling out of my Top 10 most used airports. Guess not if this work thing comes through. -- nm - ty97 May 9, 14:07 1
- Meanwhile, Orlando is almost certainly dropping from my Top 20 this year - ty97 May 9, 14:08
Wow, this series of screen caps did not end entirely the way I expected ... -- (link) - Beryllium May 9, 14:02 10
- i can't seem to work up any sympathy. -- nm - Andie May 9, 14:07 1
  - I feel sorry for anyone that may have relied on him. -- nm - Reagen May 9, 14:12

  - His last Facebook post was "In the end, it turns out that I'm not strong. I'm a coward, and a selfish son of a bitch. I'm sorry." -- nm - Ender May 9, 14:09 5
    - No matter one's politics, that's a lonely awful place for anyone to be in their last moments. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request May 9, 14:31 4
      - Though it's not politics that makes the lack of sympathy, but the way he treated people (at least in those tweets) - Roger More May 9, 15:10
      - Absolutely. Despite the less than good-reflecting tweets there, it's horribly to see someone in that place or to see someone die. - ty97 May 9, 14:37
      - Yup. -- nm - David May 9, 14:36
      - Agreed. -- nm - Beryllium May 9, 14:33

Which is more likely? David seeing The Last Jedi @ Midnight on opening night, Ty voting for Trump in 2020, or Meg flying all her pets via United? -- nm - Jovian May 9, 13:50 7
- I flew my dog once. I had to go with him down to the tarmac because the baggage handler wouldn't go near him. - Meg May 9, 14:08 4
  - Guineas are born nervous. -- nm - . May 9, 14:39
  - oh man, Rhodesian Ridgeback is my dream doggie. - Jovian May 9, 14:28

    - *honk! honk!* -- nm - Harpo Profit May 9, 14:36
- If they reanimate Hitler and he runs against Trump in 2020, I'd vote for Trump - ty97 May 9, 13:51 1
  - Well, they don't do midnight openings anymore, they're all 7 or 8 on Thursday, so... -- nm - Ender May 9, 14:05

        IIRC there weren't even that many properties there when I was there, though they seemed to be building a new one. - ty97 May 9, 14:02 4
