        Though that's partly because of the roles on his resume. He's young looking, but I'm sure he could play someone his own age. -- nm - Roger More Feb 6, 11:32 1

- It all depends on what you watch/follow. If you are immersed in fox news and conservative social media, this is all you hear. Not surprising. -- nm - Volnelk Feb 6, 11:18 1
  - [deleted]
- Trumpism is almost a viral infection that will turn people into lemmings -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 6, 11:13
I decided to catch up on the Royal Rumble last night instead of the SOTU because it seemed more realistic. But curious how Stacey Abrams did. - pmb Feb 6, 10:53 7

- they should make it lower than home plate so the pitchers have to throw uphill -- nm - decline Feb 6, 10:37 1
  - brilliant, then if the batter hits a line drive up the middle, the pitcher can duck into his fox hole -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 6, 11:17
- Yes, drop the mound, give it to the NBA instead. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 6, 10:26

    - Yarn is a service that for some reason has sliced and diced thousands of movies into short clips for sharing. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 6, 10:06
- If the GOP House Speaker somehow got the job, who would replace him in the House? Is it appointment? Who appoints? -- nm - Mop Feb 6, 09:56
