Anecdotally, Arby’s seems much more crowded since they switched to Coke. -- nm - David Jul 20, 09:03 3
- Of course, as it should be. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 20, 09:24
- For a sec, I thought Anecdotally Arby's was another esoteric Twitter account -- nm - con_carne Jul 20, 09:05
- Single point analysis wins again!!! -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 20, 09:03
The kits are generally unimpressed by canned food. They just *inhaled* a dish of Sheba tuna :) - Meg Jul 20, 09:01

President Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen, secretly recorded Trump before the 2016 election discussing payments to a former Playboy model -- (edited) - decline Jul 20, 08:50 32
- Big, but it will get a big "Yawn" from his base and *crickets* from HOP Congress -- nm - Amoxy Jul 20, 09:17
- Honest question: what's the problem here? (NM) - Marlowe Jul 20, 09:12 22
  - I heard somebody this morning say that this could cause Cohen to lose his law license? -- nm - Strongbad Jul 20, 09:23 4
    - That seems likely, yes. But at this point it’s about him staying out of jail. I think he’s done as an attorney. -- nm - Mop Jul 20, 09:27
    - [deleted]
    - secretly taping a client? I would think so. -- nm - groiny Jul 20, 09:23 1
      - I have no clue. Just something I heard this AM. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 20, 09:24
  - Aside from the "presidential candidate paying off porn stars" angle - the thought is that he used campaign money for these payouts. nm - Johnny Lawrence Jul 20, 09:15 13
    - OK, thanks. The potential use of campaign money is of course an issue. - Marlowe Jul 20, 09:19
    - I would think he had plenty of personal money to do this. - groiny Jul 20, 09:16 11
      - He's a cheap bastard. It's been shown time and time again. He doesn't pay his contractors, manufactured all his merchandise overseas while railing - pmb Jul 20, 09:29

        We already saw he used Trump Foundation money to pay for a Marlago lawsuit. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 20, 09:20 5
        
        He apparently also used it to pay for his kids boy scout registration. -- nm - pmb Jul 20, 09:26 2

        Perfect illustration, right there. -- nm - znufrii Jul 20, 09:21 1
        
        I guess when your name is on it, you can do whatever you want. -- nm - groiny Jul 20, 09:22
      - except that he never uses his own money when someone else's is available. -- nm - Andie Jul 20, 09:18
  - It depends what he said on the tape. But the fact that he was being secretly recorded raises the serious spectre that he was saying incriminating - pmb Jul 20, 09:14 2
    - Wouldn't the conversations be privileged? - TWuG Jul 20, 09:27 1
      - Per Dawson above, doesn't look like NY is. Whether it's privileged depends on what's on the tapes. They have a system for having an administrative - pmb Jul 20, 09:33
- Big -- nm - zork Jul 20, 09:01
- It must be really hard to impeach a sitting POTUS. -- nm - David Jul 20, 09:01 6

Let's not forget that without Abba, one of the best Madonna songs of all time would not exist (Abba Day Facts). -- nm - MDH Jul 20, 08:46 4
- Sounds win/win -- nm - David Jul 20, 09:00

Tangential to last nights discussion of gender, etc., we were watching the first episode of Pose (really good, btw) the other night -- (edited) - znufrii Jul 20, 08:09 14
- Parents throw kids out for all kinds of reasons, - groiny Jul 20, 08:17 13
  - I will disagree with this. - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 20, 08:24 11
    - what exactly are you disagreeing with???? -- nm - groiny Jul 20, 08:25 10
      - A parent should not throw a kid out. - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 20, 08:36 9
        
        we all say that, until you are presented with something you do not know how to deal with. - groiny Jul 20, 08:37 8
        
        In this day and age, there are a lot more resources out there to help you learn how to deal with it, thankfully. -- nm - znufrii Jul 20, 08:48 1
        
        I don't disagree with that, but it still happens. - groiny Jul 20, 08:49
        
        True. But I will never throw him out. Period. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 20, 08:40 5
        
        and I hope you are never in the position to have to even consider it. -- nm - groiny Jul 20, 08:41 2

I blame all of you for the fact I am jamming out to Abba "Gold" now. -- nm - MDH Jul 20, 08:06 19

  - The girl opposite me at my university halls played only Abba pretty much for the whole year, which is why I can't bare to hear more than 2 Abba songs - LMS Jul 20, 09:25
  - I wish you could have seen the crowd. Credit spoils - MDH Jul 20, 08:42

      - like it or not, they are a part of my musical upbringing, and I am fine with that -- nm - groiny Jul 20, 08:29 2
        
        Of the first four, Dancing Queen almost makes my list of good songs. Waterloo beats out those others you listed. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 20, 08:33 1
        
        that song never clicked for me -- nm - groiny Jul 20, 08:34

    - it just possibly ruined going to the theater to see another show like it forever - groiny Jul 20, 08:25

NWBR: it won't help the Tories either with Harper throwing shade at Trudeau and seemingly siding with Trump - Beaker Jul 20, 07:43 3

  - Scheer has to be "Dude, shut *up*!" -- nm - Reagen Jul 20, 08:06 1

  - I'm thinking I can cut it and put it under the strap which should fix the oversized issue I'm having. - Krusty Jul 20, 07:54
  - my solution is much less expensive -- nm - decline Jul 20, 07:48 2
    - They were free when I got them. A lot of shoe stores will give them away. -- nm - mafic Jul 20, 07:51

        I thought you liked playing WITH people???? -- nm - groiny Jul 20, 08:13 5
        
        I do and I should give Fortnite a try. My hesitation is being late to the party and as usual everyone is an expert. - Krusty Jul 20, 08:34 4
