    - he's on a daily regiment of pain killers and worth $$$$$$$$$$ ! -- nm - peglegpete Aug 14, 15:33
- The fact he could even stand up is amazing. My guess knowing what I know about 3 of those drugs. I bet he doesn't remember the event at all. - Bacon Aug 14, 15:22 2

- Jordy Nelson. He has Aaron and the others don't. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Aug 14, 15:16 7
  - I presume it's keepers, right? -- nm - David Aug 14, 15:31 2
    - I go with the 3yr rule for keeper choices. Who do I want for 3 years. - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Aug 14, 15:47 1
      - Then that's Evans for sure. Green's the best right now, but Evans has a chance to be THE best in a year or two. -- nm - David Aug 14, 15:52
  - This is who I am leaning towards right now - Strongbad Aug 14, 15:18 3

- I can't do YouTube at work so it'll be later. But what the heck is scientific astrology? -- nm - crash davis Aug 14, 14:43 2
  - small example spoilers -- (edited) - peglegpete Aug 14, 14:49 1
    - also, his work is 99% book theory -- nm - peglegpete Aug 14, 14:54

- Besides several things already mentioned, Trump being exposed even more as the charlatan that he is - Jovian Aug 14, 14:35 16
  - That's a nice thought. I don't think it's true, but it's nice to pretend it will ultimately matter. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 14, 14:51 7
    - Of course it matters. Do you honestly think he would have put out todays statement if he wasnt getting all the heat he got?? -- (edited) - Jovian Aug 14, 14:56 6
      - I meant as in mattering to his supporters, as in changing their minds on him. - Cuzzin Todd Aug 14, 15:07 4
        
        [deleted]
        
        I think it will open their eyes a bit. -- nm - Jovian Aug 14, 15:08 2
        
        Even if this were true, it's not very useful for us liberals to expect this. We have to expect that those Trump supporters are gonna double down. - con_carne Aug 14, 15:17
        
        I wish I believed that was even possible at this point. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 14, 15:10

  - other than dropping usage of sexual comments, he is the same as the past 30 years. it's not like he is deceiving us with a new personality and outlook -- nm - peglegpete Aug 14, 14:45 4
    - He is a charlatan because he convinced half the country he would be a good President. - Jovian Aug 14, 14:50 3

      - Colbert did a great interview somewhere about why he thinks Americans voted for him (hint: his voters knew he would be a bad President) - con_carne Aug 14, 14:53 1
        
        Can't find the interview. Well, the gist is that angry, entitled white people voted for him as an act of violence toward... literally everyone else -- nm* - con_carne Aug 14, 14:59
  - that one seems like walking a razor's edge, one slip and you fall into Trumprage - or maybe that is just me -- nm - crash davis Aug 14, 14:42 2
    - ~despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage~ -- nm - Strongbad Aug 14, 14:46
    - Whenever Trump rage hits, we can remind ourselves how very little he has really accomplished as Prez besides a whooole lot of talk. -- nm - con_carne Aug 14, 14:45
- Life is wonderful. I am fighting back against the negative and mainly winning. - Bacon Aug 14, 14:34 2

        Ah, good idea. -- (link) - kelly Aug 14, 15:12 [Image]
  - how are you doing with the transition? -- nm - prayformojo Aug 14, 14:35 3
    - It's only been 2 half-days, so it still isn't the "real deal". Today I walked in the house after dropping him off and thought, what - kelly Aug 14, 14:54 2
      - I have a plan for one day next week: go to Dollywood all by my lonesome and ride adult rides all day. - kelly Aug 14, 14:56 1

  - sounds like a good time -- nm - crash davis Aug 14, 14:28 1
    - Oh yeah. I always like going to Hollywood to play. With the caveat that the really good stuff tends to be *away* from the Walk of Fame area :) -- nm - con_carne Aug 14, 14:33
