I used my eclipse glasses just now to look at the sun, and I feel like I've damaged my eyes and I'm going blind. - Mop Aug 18, 10:30 10

Bannon's firing is a way to distract from Trump's comments on Charlottesville. Quick, can you tell me what the topic was before Charlottesville? - Mop Aug 18, 10:24 17
- Oh enough of this stupid idea - Reagen Aug 18, 10:30 4
  - [deleted]
  - This may be more a criticism of the media than anything else, but Sunday morning will be "Bannon", not "Charlottesville" or "Barcelona". -- nm - Mop Aug 18, 10:34 2
    - It's all the same issue. Guess who was driving Trump's responses to all of that? -- nm - Reagen Aug 18, 10:40
    - Because in the grand scheme of things, Bannon is a more important story. - Name Withheld by Request Aug 18, 10:39
- Oh, that pesky nuclear war threat. - Andie Aug 18, 10:26 7

      - HA! There's one in the related products below. Everyone order it, support (my) local business. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 18, 10:30
- I still can't decide if it's calculated distraction or just flailing ineptitude. - Cuzzin Todd Aug 18, 10:26 2
  - "Why not both?" -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 10:44 1

        I love really good corn on the cob -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Twelfth Astronaut Aug 18, 10:38 1
        
        oh, I do as well, but I find one cob to be sufficient. - groiny Aug 18, 10:39
    - dan says "cut the cobs in half so people feel like they're eating more. then ten is way enough." -- nm - amanda jones state university Aug 18, 10:33 4
      - that is a valid point. -- nm - groiny Aug 18, 10:34 3

- do people eat more than 1 with dinner? -- nm - groiny Aug 18, 10:31 10

    - I'm talking about optics. He simply cannot fire a Jewish banker right now. - David Aug 18, 10:30 3
      - I think he can absolutely fire a Jewish Banker, if he's looking for more red meat for his base. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 18, 10:40
