LOL it cracks me up to no end when this idiot President attacks the people he personally appointed. - Jovian Dec 7, 12:54 13

  - I'm totally sure that Tillerson, Flynn and Manafort were "suggested" by his russian mob handlers - zeitgeist Dec 7, 13:19
  - Don't forget the influence of "central casting" -- nm - Roger More Dec 7, 13:13
  - "...I couldnt get rid of him fast enough." And yet Tillerson was kept on for over a year. -- nm - Jovian Dec 7, 13:11 3
    - Yeah, it is really sad that Trump does not have the power to choose his own cabinet. -- nm - Spawn Dec 7, 13:12 2
      - lol right exactly. the dude who gave Ben Carson, Scott Pruitt, Zinke, and DeVos cabinet jobs. -- nm - Jovian Dec 7, 13:23 1
        
        And hired Reince Prebius as CoS -- nm - Amoxy Dec 7, 13:24
  - The buck stops with that guy who told me I should do it. -- nm - Harry S. Trump Dec 7, 13:08 1
    - I'm not defending Trump. Just acknowledging that we can't assume that he has any particular belief in who he appoints. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 7, 13:25
- I just assume he'll call Kelly a traitor by Christmas. -- nm - Max Dec 7, 13:01 2

        Exactly. - Spawn Dec 7, 12:32 2
        
        Not sure I like him in Week 14, but if you advance then it may pay off. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 7, 12:37 1
        
        Yeah, he just took over a few bench seats. - Spawn Dec 7, 12:47
Random thought, but do the Oscars even need a host? After the monologue, they just introduce other people. - Volnelk Dec 7, 11:25 34
- Tribute to past hosts. Run one segment of each before each award. -- nm - Spawn Dec 7, 13:08
- 3 words - Strongbad Dec 7, 12:58 1
  - No questions. -- nm - Spawn Dec 7, 13:01

  - At the Game Awards last night the esports player of the year went on to the stage in furry costume. -- nm - Max Dec 7, 12:03
- He's Hollywood's top box office star, and I'm chopped liver... -- nm - disembodied announcer voice Dec 7, 11:56
- Yeah, I like this. Where things go sideways is when we break from the awards to do a “bit” which usually falls flat. Have them do a big open, fini. -- nm - Mop Dec 7, 11:41
- The host isn't just about hosting the show, but promoting it beforehand. - Roger More Dec 7, 11:41

  - Didn't they kinda have that when McFarlane hosted? -- nm - Mayor of Slamtown Dec 7, 11:40 2
    - I suppose so. Also, I for one thought his song was hilarious. -- nm - Baron Gifts Dec 7, 11:48
    - Like anyone actually watches these shows. -- nm - Spawn Dec 7, 11:41
- they should skip the hosts and just have a screen that scrolls the nominees and winners - the whole thing could be over in about 30 minutes! -- nm - decline Dec 7, 11:36 1
  - no show, just publish the results in a newspaper the next day. -- nm - colin Dec 7, 11:37
- [deleted] 1
  - Exactly. Just call it a 'Tribute to Cinema's history' and have historic winners of each award come back and be the ones that give them out. - Volnelk Dec 7, 11:35
- The same could be said for opening bands. -- nm - Spawn Dec 7, 11:26 3
  - "some day, this host is gonna be big. BIG!" -- nm - colin Dec 7, 11:32
  - To some degree. But I wouldn't NOT go to a show because of the opening band. They are there to get new exposure. - Volnelk Dec 7, 11:31 1
    - Just like sitcoms will have a comedian out before they start filming, the host is the comedian that warms an audience up. -- nm - Spawn Dec 7, 11:41

  - oh come on now.. it's a good series. -- nm - colin Dec 7, 11:21 2
    - Yeah, but for (at least what I thought was) the purpose of these talks, I just can't see it meriting discussion. -- nm - Spawn Dec 7, 11:26 1
      - maybe talk about the importance of tradition, why some are long lasting? -- nm - colin Dec 7, 11:31

- Ah, the detail I wanted: One infection can kill in days, but this one is a different type that took up to a year. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 10:46 1
  - concerningly, started as a nasal rash that was misdiagnosed as rosacea -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 10:52
- Even with a Brita filter? Crap, there are probably a million amoeba in my clothes iron. -- nm - Max Dec 7, 10:24

    - I have to say that the title and the network had kept me from ever watching this, but the growing buzz is starting to become overwhelming. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 7, 10:45 3
      - I don't quite have time to fit it into my queue. But the few episodes I watched were pretty damn funny. - Reagen Dec 7, 11:22

- Weird glowy map in the new raid. -- nm - Shaun Dec 7, 09:28 8
  - Sorry Spawn, looks like there's a jumping spot in the new raid. -- nm - Shaun Dec 7, 10:03 7
    - Please update your notebooks. *groiny* is the jumping challenged STer. The lone exception is the one raid where you were jumping into the dark, predicting what locations platforms might be. -- (edited) - Spawn Dec 7, 10:32 1
      - sure seeing was your problem. -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 7, 13:01
    - Whoa. Sweet boss. -- nm - Shaun Dec 7, 10:17 4

- He is so so so great. (mancrush on him and Nick on Survivor) - Jovian Dec 7, 09:39

The problem with Trump firing John Kelly is that he needs John Kelly to help him fire him. -- nm - Reagen Dec 7, 09:14 6
- Get Rudy to do it, he'll do anything. -- nm - Max Dec 7, 09:59
- He just tells whoever is replacing him to handle the firing as their first responsibility. - Super Daddy Princess Dec 7, 09:30
- Listen John, I need you to fire the chief of staff. He's a pain in my ass. Then I want you to find his replacement. -- nm - Trump Dec 7, 09:29
- This is an easy one. Send him to the other side of the country on a speaking engagement and let him hear about it on the news. -- nm - Roger More Dec 7, 09:17
- Not entirely true. - Beryllium Dec 7, 09:17
- "Hypothetically speaking... if I was going to fire you... how would I go about that?" - Spawn Dec 7, 09:16
spoiler - Mayor of Slamtown Dec 7, 09:12 4
