- [deleted]
- To be clear, Brietbart is gonna go scorched earth. Trump is not their guy. Bannon was. -- nm - Mop Aug 18, 11:31 1
  - But their readers are too dumb to know what to do. -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 11:32
- I'm not sure that article could have been less informative relative to the title -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Twelfth Astronaut Aug 18, 11:26 1

  - They are how much you would win on a $100 bet. -- nm - znufrii Aug 18, 11:41 2
    - Thanks -- nm - con_carne Aug 18, 11:42 1
      - And a negative number would be how much you would need to bet to win $100 -- nm - znufrii Aug 18, 11:43
- Where's Kanye? -- nm - zork Aug 18, 11:25 1
  - 150-1. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Aug 18, 11:30
- I may be way off, I just don't see Bernie running again. I also think if there's any chance Michelle is interested, she waits a little bit longer. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 18, 11:24 5
  - I disagree. 2020, or not at all. -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 11:25 2
    - I think 2024 if not longer for her. wait till the girls are out of college. -- nm - Remlik Aug 18, 11:36 1

    - In April she said she will not run for office, which means she's about 50/50. -- nm* - znufrii Aug 18, 11:28
- Trump makes sense as he is nominally the only person we know will be in the General - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Aug 18, 11:17 7
  - Usually the incumbent is the automatic choice, but I could see him not being the 2020 nominee. - Cuzzin Todd Aug 18, 11:26 3
    - this is assuming he makes it that far. - groiny Aug 18, 11:28 2
      - I still don't see involuntary removal from office as having much of a chance at happening. - Cuzzin Todd Aug 18, 11:39 1
        
        But they're only six votes away! - znufrii Aug 18, 11:40

- Preet -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 11:13 1

- "I'm going to hire the greatest people. The smartest people. So good. " -- nm - Andie Aug 18, 11:03
- there are a crap ton of deputies and 2nd level people (or at least it feels that way). And I'd take Yates out, she was a goner anyways -- nm - crash davis Aug 18, 11:02
- Not Me!! -- nm - Stephen Miller, sole survivor Aug 18, 11:02 1
  - You and me both, we will outlast them all -- nm - Gorka Aug 18, 11:14
ST Poll -- Do you fly any flags at your house? - znufrii Aug 18, 10:58 27

- I put them out periodically. A couple of high quality U.S. and Canadian flags. -- nm - Mop Aug 18, 11:12 2
  - I have my name on the wait list for one of the Parliament Hill flags. - Shaun Aug 18, 11:13 1
    - Your grandchildren will be thrilled. BTW, it's too big to fly. You can use it to cover your house. - Mop Aug 18, 11:30
- Yup, my freak flag -- nm - con_carne Aug 18, 11:10
- [deleted] 1
  - Nice! -- nm - Krusty Aug 18, 11:12

- The only flag i can ever remember flying was a Welsh car flag during the World Cup last time. -- nm - Andie Aug 18, 11:02 7
  - yeah, people fly the Wales flag because of soccer and not to feel like The Mother off Dragons. I believe that -- nm - crash davis Aug 18, 11:03 6
    - World Cup car flags bring out the passive aggressiveness though. A lot of cars will fly Canadian flags during the WC, more I think than during - Roger More Aug 18, 11:08 5
      - Maybe they should try qualifying for it one of these years. :) -- nm - znufrii Aug 18, 11:10 1
        
        We do try! -- nm - Shaun Aug 18, 11:12
      - surely not during the Winter Olympics though, right? I mean that is your jam -- nm - crash davis Aug 18, 11:09 2
        
        car flags are really only a thing here during the World Cup. You see the odd one for Leafs, or Jays, or something during the playoffs. -- nm - Andie Aug 18, 11:10 1
        
        ah, thanks -- nm - crash davis Aug 18, 11:11
- No. I'm not really a flag person. -- nm - Epiphany Aug 18, 11:01
- I've got an American one that due to weather spends more time indoors than out. I'd like to get a funky 12th man flag. -- nm - crash davis Aug 18, 11:00
- Sure. Cubs W. American. -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Twelfth Astronaut Aug 18, 11:00
- Yes. we have a couple Christmas/winter ones, a Halloween one, summer; stuff like that -- nm - Beaker Aug 18, 10:59
Krusty, Premier League wrap-up is here. - volnelk Aug 18, 10:55 1

The dipshit who lives a couple blocks over from me and always flies the Confederate flag & the Gadsen (tea party) flag is only flying the US flag now - crash davis Aug 18, 10:52 15
- Man, the strata council would *freak out* if I flew any flag. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 10:53 5
  - surely they would have no objections to the maple leaf...and what is a strata council? is that like a homeowners association? -- nm - crash davis Aug 18, 10:59 4
    - Yeah, that's what Canadians call homeowners associations. -- nm - Mop Aug 18, 11:09 3
      - they aren't nearly as common here though. I think he's in a condo-type building. -- nm - Andie Aug 18, 11:09 2
        
        Strata Corporations are very common in BC, it's the way fees are controlled for condos and other complexes. - Beryllium Aug 18, 11:26 1
        
        Sure, we have a condo management company, which is basically the same. But Canada doesn't really have the same - Andie Aug 18, 11:28
- we have a guy not far from where I live who flies a Nazi flag for 'historical' purposes every now and then. he's been pretty quiet -- nm - Remlik Aug 18, 10:52 8
  - Only when the family is watching The Sound Of Music, right? -- nm - zork Aug 18, 11:18
  - Wow. -- nm - znufrii Aug 18, 11:00
  - does the brother of the man he threw off the Nakatomi building make him do this as a form of revenge? -- nm - Beaker Aug 18, 10:56
  - you should be burning his house down. -- nm - groiny Aug 18, 10:55 1
    - I drive by the house *maybe* twice a month when I go get pizza from a place around there...burning down his house would be an improvement.... -- (link) - Remlik Aug 18, 11:13
  - that's nuts. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 18, 10:55
  - uses lighter from 1945 to historically burn that flag to ashes -- nm - Beaker Aug 18, 10:53

A pastor we know because of Diva's local theater work over the years is going to the counter protest... - Mel Profit Aug 18, 10:49
So... Mel.. what did oats ever do to you? -- nm - colin Aug 18, 10:48 18
- you have them for breakfast. not for dessert. I shouldn't have to explain that. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 18, 10:50 17
  - they make it .. CHEWY. -- nm - colin Aug 18, 11:02 1
    - You say Chewy. I say Lumpy. [nm] - Mel Profit Aug 18, 11:21
  - Heh. YSMM. I looove oats and enjoy it a lot. I don't also need to have it in my cookies. :) - con_carne Aug 18, 10:56
  - you clearly have only ever eaten store bought garbage oatmeal cookies. -- nm - groiny Aug 18, 10:54 13
    - 'struth -- nm - mud Aug 18, 10:56 2
      - done right, they are a little chewy, nice and moist, and fantastic. -- nm - groiny Aug 18, 10:57 1
        
        They are superior, no doubts there. -- nm - Shaun Aug 18, 11:02
    - see colin? you're on the side of groiny. re-evaluate or perish. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 18, 10:55 9
      - I would challenge you to eat one of my oatmeal cookies and not go back for seconds. -- nm - groiny Aug 18, 10:56 8
        
        the only way I'd eat anything you cooked is to have you do it like a cocaine processing wench. naked and under armed guards who have orders to kill if - Mel Profit Aug 18, 11:00 7
        
        There are others ways? -- nm - zork Aug 18, 11:23
        
        This right here is why we keep you around my friend -- nm - con_carne Aug 18, 11:07 4

        And well dressed -- nm - con_carne Aug 18, 11:20 1
        
        I feel pretty. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 18, 11:22
        
        do you think I got to almost 3 clicks without knowing how to make good food? -- nm - groiny Aug 18, 11:03
So our district isn't doing anything really special for the eclipse. If kids have science class between 11:30 and 1:30 they can go out to view - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Twelfth Astronaut Aug 18, 10:47 6
- Seriously - just take 20 minutes out of class a pep rally or something. -- nm* - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Aug 18, 10:49
- Several schools here are using a calamity day on Monday and will be closed. -- nm - Ender Aug 18, 10:49 4
  - *burns down the observatory just to be safe* -- nm - Beaker Aug 18, 10:54
  - It's not like there's a scientific learning opportunity to focus on that day or anything. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 18, 10:51 2
    - Their reasoning is that full eclipse is like 10 minutes before the kids go out to the busses. - Ender Aug 18, 10:56
    - It's happening right at the end of our school day; otherwise - yep -- nm - Oregoners Aug 18, 10:55
If a baby is conceived during the eclipse, it'll be 35x more likely to be born a Bigfoot. -- nm* - Oregoners Aug 18, 10:47
