  - Based on his platform positions listed on Wikipedia, I agree with the WSJ's opinion that he is not a moderate. - Strongbad Dec 6, 04:18 11
    - "His views on those issues tend to put him in the Democratic mainstream." -- (link) - Strongbad Dec 6, 04:25 10
      - You realize that mainstream can mean moderate as well, right? -- (edited) - Inigo Dec 6, 04:33 8
        
        Sure, if you think the Democratic mainstream = moderate. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 6, 04:36 7

        You insinuated that a moderate Democrat is not moderate. -- (edited) - Inigo Dec 6, 04:47 4
        
        Hell, in today's climate I would consider him a moderate Republican. nm - Dignan Dec 6, 04:52 2
        
        If you disregard that he's siding with Democrats against the Republicans' tax proposal - Strongbad Dec 6, 06:31 1
        
        IMO, he's further to the Left than Flake, Collins, McCain -- nm - Strongbad Dec 6, 06:32
        
        OK. It's a vocabulary issue then. - Strongbad Dec 6, 04:52
      - It's only not moderate because the Republicans have swung insanely to the right. -- nm - Reagen Dec 6, 04:28
- I kind of agree. Short term victory for (if democrats actually take advantage of it) a long term loss because of the national optics. - volnelk Dec 6, 04:09

    - Yeah he was on Stern yesterday with Franco. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 6, 03:53

- I used to drive by this Billboard for the room (for years) and I thought... - howie Dec 5, 22:05 [Attachment] 3
  - credit to lebowski for that? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 5, 22:12 2

    - I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further. -- nm - Mop Dec 5, 22:44
  - I ordered it on the 24th and it won’t ship until the 6th. That’s well outside the 3 business days eBay gives sellers. -- nm - Mop Dec 5, 21:10
  - I dunno. I ordered a shirt from Slow Magic and it’s not yet shipped. 10 Buisness Days seems awfully long lead time. -- nm - Qale Dec 5, 21:06
  - Punish him! Only three pluses in the A+++. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 5, 21:05
Arnold Vosloo and Michael Cerveris (Pyg on Gotham) are dead ringers (I.e. creepy looking bald guys). -- nm - Mop Dec 5, 20:53 1

This Ralph character on The Flash, why hasn't EVERYBODY in the show not beaten to death with a tire iron? -- nm* - Amoxy Dec 5, 20:29 4
- "Sometimes I guess there just aren't enough tire irons." -- nm - Forrest Gump Dec 5, 21:37
- It wouldn't work since he'd just swallow the iron. -- nm - David Dec 5, 20:38
- This double negative has me wondering what’s happened so far. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 5, 20:36
- the character has been around for 55 years and was a lot more tolerable & fun in the comics. I agree they ruined him with this persona. -- nm - peglegpete Dec 5, 20:34

- Free if you HOV. But everyone is neglecting that haha. -- nm - MDH Dec 5, 19:59 4
  - Also, not an option for solo drivers during rush hour periods prior to the intro of the tolls. Now the option is available, if you're willing to pay. -- nm - samara Dec 5, 20:07 3
    - I've wondered if this is going impact the sluglines -- nm - prayformojo Dec 5, 20:11 2
      - You'd think this would increase the amount of people willing to take on a slug and/or be a slug. -- nm - samara Dec 5, 20:14 1
        
        in the San Fran bay area its a common thing to pick up commuters so the driver can just avoid the toll booths and pass by the back ups. so yeah... -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 6, 02:49

  - Because they have none? -- nm - . Dec 5, 19:45
- It's clear where Wemple stands on this, and he's right. - Mop Dec 5, 18:19
- It's awkward, but very clearly a joke tweet, but the alt right (especially MC) has zero sense of humor and intentionally misread it. -- nm - Tim Dec 5, 18:12 2
  - They don't take it literally for a second. It's just an opportunity to hit an enemy. -- nm - Mop Dec 5, 18:20 1
    - yep. -- nm - b. Dec 5, 18:38
That last scene in Lucifer was something else. Definitely want to see where this is going. -- nm - Beaker Dec 5, 17:56

    - It's a fairly common thing in Evangelical circles. I've had to get permission from my wife to have lunch with people before (from their standpoint). -- (edited) - spamlet Dec 5, 16:55 1
