Re Trumps idiotic tweet, as someone I follow on twitter pointed out, way to taint the jury pool. - IrishStephen Nov 2, 12:19 5
- the bergdahl judge knows the president is an idiot and not to be listened to...I just hope the ones in the missle command feel the same -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 2, 12:26 1
  - Sure, but that he was even an issue for the defense to bring up in the first place is an issue. -- nm - IrishStephen Nov 2, 12:32

  - just pretend you didn't see the notice -- nm - decline Nov 2, 12:21
  - Slumlord was definitely a possibility in my mind. -- nm - Reagen Nov 2, 12:20

Destiny 2 patch notes. -- (link) - Shaun Nov 2, 12:13 28
- My Titan's first three exotic engrams all gave the same effin' pair of gloves. -- nm - Spawn Nov 2, 12:14 27
  - Well you are really good at dismantling exotics, so I don't see the problem. - Shaun Nov 2, 12:25 3
    - heh. The other annoying thing is that my Uriel's Gift is stuck at 299. I have not had an auto rifle drop in weeks. -- nm - Spawn Nov 2, 12:29 2
      - Have you had any extra Coldheart drops? - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 2, 12:36 1

    - Doing the raid might help, but there's no guarantee. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 2, 12:34 13
      - I have 7 305 boots across 3 characters. -- nm - groiny Nov 2, 12:45 4
        
        Which is why it would really help if he could infuse Titan boots into Warlock boots. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 2, 13:02 3
        
        Yeah, if that were possible, all of my gear would be 305. -- nm - David Nov 2, 13:04 1
        
        There is a way to help get all your non-Warlock gear to 305. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 2, 13:22
        
        Yeah, I was ticked off when I found out that you could not. - Spawn Nov 2, 13:03
      - I do everything but the Raid and Trials every week. - David Nov 2, 12:37 7
        
        What I mean is that every week you have a shot at 4 clan engrams. Other than the Clan XP engram. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 2, 12:57 1
        
        Yes, I got that. -- nm - David Nov 2, 12:58
        
        "here, have another sniper rifle!!!" -- nm - groiny Nov 2, 12:38 4
        
        Coincidentally, I got at least two 305 ones the other day. - David Nov 2, 12:42 3
        
        I want to know how either of those linear fusions are a 4.6. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 2, 13:15
        
        yup, it is useful. The Vagabond is not a bad sniper, the other is garbage. -- nm - groiny Nov 2, 12:44 1
        
        Yeah, Vegabond is actually my keeper. -- nm - Spawn Nov 2, 12:47

        Wes and David can tell you when I got Sweet Business, there is something genetic in me that delights in that ongoing destruction. And that was before - Spawn Nov 2, 12:46
        
        it is useless shooting at the airship in the Cabal event. - groiny Nov 2, 12:44

- *best everything on Mr. Potter* -- nm - Mop Nov 2, 12:12
- Powell is actually not a half bad choice -- nm - decline Nov 2, 12:11 3
  - No, but it's telling that he is choosing to replace the existing female chair with a man (whose views are apparently very similar to Yellen's). - pmb Nov 2, 12:20 2
    - plus it's just more Obama-erasing -- nm - decline Nov 2, 12:21 1
      - that's the real rub. if the fed chair had been a man obama appointed, he'd be gone too....nm - x Nov 2, 13:00

    - Pun intended -- nm - con_carne Nov 2, 13:00
    - The truth is, the dress would not cover dat booty, so they had to improvise. -- nm - Spawn Nov 2, 12:24
    - He isn't looking at her in a single one of those pictures. -- nm - jnine Nov 2, 12:19

    - Agreed. She is smokin. I don't get his appeal at ALL -- nm - Pippy Pumpkin Nov 2, 12:17 5

    - I'm fielding my C team, which is the only reason you've got a shot. -- nm - David Nov 2, 12:20 11
      - But so am I. - Spawn Nov 2, 12:22 10
        
        The problem is that your A Team isn't much better than my C Team, which is why I'm scoring 15 points a game higher. - David Nov 2, 12:28 9
        
        Friggin Budice. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 2, 12:40
        
        Sorry, what was that? Hard to hear you from way up here at 6-2 on top of the league. -- nm - Spawn Nov 2, 12:31 7
        
        Oh, honey. I'm on top of the league. You just have the flukiest record. - David Nov 2, 12:32 6 1
        
        That is largely because you had not played me. I will bring that score down. Though crash and ML are the kings of that. -- nm - Spawn Nov 2, 12:34 5
        
        Well, if anybody knows anything about keeping their score down... -- nm - David Nov 2, 12:35 4
        
        The key to the game is scoring more than the guy you are playing. -- nm - Madden Nov 2, 12:41 3
        
        Right, and that makes your decision to score so little such a strange one. -- nm - David Nov 2, 12:42 2
