    - criminal louisanna officials out to stick it to him? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 16:32 2

        ah yes. crashquick? crenshaw? crookshanks? lafarrow? I forget what his name was. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 16:39
  - If he was an Enemy of the State (another fine film), he'd want to be more careful about tweeting. Might reveal his location. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 16:16
- Even if he had proof Trump committed treason, Republicans wouldn't care. He'd stay in office. Barr wouldn't do anything either. -- nm* - jnine Feb 5, 16:14 1
  - As long as he'd learned his lesson. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 5, 16:30
- Wow. -- nm - znufrii, human scum Feb 5, 16:06

- He’s cocoa doe coco puffs -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 5, 15:57 5
  - It's the effects of the poison!! -- nm - Bacon Feb 5, 16:10 3
    - To be fair, that part where he veers off into Paranoid schizophrenia is Putin's signature style to handle dissidents -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 5, 16:15 2
      - In what sense? Actually arranging the alleged events, as loony as they might seem? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 16:22 1
        
        Two methods, jail them, make them sell their holdings for pennies, or put them in a psych ward, pump them full of drugs to prove it -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 5, 16:47
  - That's definitely what it sounds like. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 16:01
- God I hate trying to read things on Twitter... -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 5, 15:55 9

    - That makes it easier to read (thanks) but now I kind of wish it didn't... -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 5, 16:21
  - Especially when the guy doesn’t know how to properly thread things. - spamlet Feb 5, 15:56 6
    - Yeah, once I got there I thought he lost half of his clout. I mean it could be true, but it went in a weird direction right there, and I dismissed - Bacon Feb 5, 15:58 5
      - Indeed. That seems more likely than not. I feel bad for him. Something is not going right up there. -- nm - Beron Cherry Feb 5, 16:11 4
        
        What’s that movie with Mel Gibson as conspiracy guy? -- nm - Flavorize— Feb 5, 16:14 3
        
        I think it's called Conspiracy Movie or something -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 16:14 1

who needs a good laugh. Pete Rose asks MLBB for reinstatement. -- (link) - Peglegpete Feb 5, 14:56 4
- When he dies, he gets in. I’ve always thought that would be the deal. No one wants to deal with HOF Rose walking around. -- nm - Flavorize— Feb 5, 15:48
- Well, he has a point -- nm - decline Feb 5, 15:07 2
  - "Salient argument. We've taken it to heart and reconsidered. ASTROS. You forfeit your first ten games." -- nm - MLB si Feb 5, 15:18 1
    - That's very Italian Liga. -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 15:47
Australian tv is....something else -- (link) - Remlik Feb 5, 14:47 5
- I mean it happens so much, you'd think there was a cure for it. - Pippy - Blessed Trinity Feb 5, 14:51 4
  - I mean how does one trip and fall into a woman's vagina? -- nm - Remlik Feb 5, 15:21 3

      - I witnessed it once, at my last job. Not a fan. It was hard to watch. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 15:31
    - Tactfully. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 15:28
Watching the recent American Experience on McCarthy, the parallels to current events are stunning. -- nm - Mop Feb 5, 14:39 8
- You should read about a guy called "Hitler" sometime. -- nm - Spawn Feb 5, 14:41 7
  - No doubt. But after McCarthy and Nixon, Trump feels like a 3rd strike for the Republicans. - Mop Feb 5, 14:44 6
    - Mop and RC I don't think I posted it here. My wife's cousin (younger brother of Keanon) left UW to play for The Beavers. Trey Lowe - Bacon Feb 5, 14:56 4
      - We'll have to make it down for an OSU game sometime. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 5, 16:15 1
        
        Yep! -- nm - Bacon Feb 5, 16:16
      - Good for him. UW has been doing well so they must have an abundance of talent so he probably didn’t get to play as often as he liked. -- nm - Mop Feb 5, 15:03 1
        
        They (UW) have an abundance of talent at his position, but Chris Peterson was let go so they aren't doing that well record wise. -- (edited) - Bacon Feb 5, 15:06
    - fun fact: one of the attornies working under McCarthy was... - zeitgeist Feb 5, 14:50

So Logan got in trouble for calling a classmate a moron after she said there was more milk in chocolate milk because it is made with milk chocolate. -- (edited) - Spawn Feb 5, 14:30 2
- Well, she's not wrong -- nm - rollo Feb 5, 15:04
- "differently knowledged" -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 14:34
WH releases statement on impeachment trial conclusion. -- (link) - budice Feb 5, 14:28 6
- Neat. Now do a press conference where questions can be asked -- nm - Flavorize— Feb 5, 16:13
- I don’t even care. -- nm - Luke Skywalker Feb 5, 14:53
- That's a well crafted gracious statement that definitely shows the president is capable of learning from past mistakes and able to move on. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Feb 5, 14:30 3
  - Hence the absurdity of Susan Collins' and Lamar Alexander's positions that they're acquitting because they think he's learned from this and won't do - pmb Feb 5, 15:06
  - He once again retweeted that meme calling for him to be reelected every 4 years, forever. -- nm - Spawn Feb 5, 14:31 1
    - I'll call it right now. nm - Turd Ferguson Feb 5, 14:36
So the three previous Republican nominees for president are persona non grata within the party? - Reagen Feb 5, 14:23 2
- The GOP had their shot to repudiate Trump. It's his party and I hope they choke on it and the party dies. -- nm - TWuG Feb 5, 14:25 1
  - This, though I hope a principled, ethical conservative party rises after the collapse. - ReluctantCynic Feb 5, 16:18
JD and other runners: Nike just announced they're releasing the Zoom Alphafly on Feb. 29th -- (pic) -- (edited) - Krusty Feb 5, 14:05 [Attachment] 7
- I'm a Saucony guy -- nm - Dano Feb 5, 16:48
- Oh my! Do they glow? -- nm - Mop Feb 5, 16:00 1
  - I believe the part on the sole does -- nm - Krusty Feb 5, 21:51
- I saw that and pretty sure I'll pass for at least a year - JD Feb 5, 14:30 3
  - If you wear them sparingly I'm sure your Zooms have lots of life and miles in them to go -- nm - Krusty Feb 5, 14:31 2
    - The reports seem to between 100-250 miles - JD Feb 5, 14:46 1
      - That's not bad and hopefully you see the high end of the longevity. 🤞 -- nm - Krusty Feb 5, 15:17
Iowa Democrats posted the results and then took them back for a ‘minor correction’. Results posted shortly. - Volnelk Feb 5, 14:00 3
- Meanwhile, in Iowa -- (link) - Strongbad Feb 5, 14:42 1
  - however you believe...just remember this, the front runner here usually goes on to win..so...their incompetence saved us from Pres. Santorum -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 5, 14:56
- Dear Americans: Let's spend more on education. -- nm - David Feb 5, 14:04
Was looking at local cruises this morning and got sidetracked by this one....... -- (link) - Meg Feb 5, 13:53 14
- !!! -- nm - Strongbad Feb 5, 16:47
- Okay, I'm interested. Seriously. Especially if I could work a few hours each day. I mean, the ship does have wi-fi, right? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 5, 16:45
- That is so cheap. A month for $2600? -- nm - jnine Feb 5, 16:20 3
  - Cruises are really good deals, and re position cruises are even better deals. -- nm - Bacon Feb 5, 16:21 2
    - No kidding. You'd never get a hotel and food for a month for that price on land somewhere you'd want to actually be. -- nm - jnine Feb 5, 16:25 1
      - Bingo every time we price out Hawaii we default back to a Caribbean cruise. The food is where it doesn't pencil out -- nm - Bacon Feb 5, 16:27
- does that say --- on a boat for 31 days? -- nm - Pippy - Blessed Trinity Feb 5, 14:10 5
  - i.e. heavenly -- nm - JaxSean Feb 5, 14:27 4
    - You misspelled "nightmare." -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 5, 16:50
    - So my longest cruise was 14 days and I found it was too long. Each person is different but my sweet spot is a 10 day cruise. The perfect amount - Bacon Feb 5, 14:32 2
      - We did two 7's back to back. It was... too much. 7-10 is perfect. Our next one is 9. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 5, 16:48
      - I want to do two months. Maybe longer. - Beryllium Feb 5, 15:30
- Is flight included in that price? That would be awesome. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 5, 14:06 1
  - No, but I could likely get a free flight home. 31 day cruise I think I could handle - but not a 10 hour flight :) -- nm - Meg Feb 5, 15:04
Bery, regarding your new underwater toy. please don't do this -- (link) - Peglegpete Feb 5, 13:43 3
- It's really easy to bang into things, unfortunately. Would be nice if it had a 360º camera. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 13:52
- Underwear toy? -- nm - zork Feb 5, 13:49 1
  - That's how I read it. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 5, 14:40
Okay. Now what? -- nm - znufrii, human scum Feb 5, 13:41 22
- Or maybe it's INFRASTRUCTURE WEEK again? -- nm - Strongbad Feb 5, 14:40
- More judge confirmations? -- nm - Strongbad Feb 5, 14:40
- I do wonder if there will be a vote to censure. That would have majority support, though I think McConnell would kill it. -- nm - pmb Feb 5, 14:17
- I think there's at least a 20% chance he gets impeached again over the next six months. -- nm - David Feb 5, 14:05 15
  - I'd put it at more like a 2% chance. It's getting too deep into election season at this point. It would have to be something even more egregious than -- (edited) - pmb Feb 5, 14:17 1
    - Yeah, it's a decision for voters now. -- nm - Roger More Feb 5, 14:24
  - To what end, though? -- nm - Turd Ferguson Feb 5, 14:11 10
    - This is the same discussion as last time. It's about the rule of law. -- nm - David Feb 5, 14:13 9
      - So we go through it all again further cementing the "they'll do anything to get him out of office" trope? nm - Turd Ferguson Feb 5, 14:14 8
        
        Stop worrying about what the GOP message will be and focus on doing right. - TWuG Feb 5, 14:18 7
        
        "only president to be impeached twice" has a ring to it. -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 14:42
        
        This is correct. -- nm - David Feb 5, 14:30
        
        When a bullshit sham "trial" is the end point - I don't see why you waste the time and money to beat your head against the wall. nm - Turd Ferguson Feb 5, 14:25 4
        
        It's not about whether it "gets him". It's about establishing a line. The line may not hold for both sides, but it sets a precedent about where the - pmb Feb 5, 14:32 2
        
        So, what? Every couple months we go through this again? How many times is enough? - Turd Ferguson Feb 5, 14:34 1
        
        I would argue that it has had no impact on Congress' work. The house has passed hundreds of bills that the senate just refuses to call. And - pmb Feb 5, 14:53
        
        Do you believe rich criminals shouldn't be tried in court? It's the same thing. - David Feb 5, 14:31
  - Concur ... though more likely starting in Feb. 2021 if he is re elected which please jeebus no -- nm* - rollo Feb 5, 14:07 1
    - A second one would be fascinating after the BS "He's learned his lesson" defense. - David Feb 5, 14:12
- Roberts just invited them for a BBQ in the Supreme Court building. -- nm - Max Feb 5, 13:42 1
  - that's how I heard it. Hot dog! -- nm - mud Feb 5, 13:46
