What is bleach good for? Removing stains. What is Trump? And orange stain on america. I would be so amused if Bleachgate turned into a thing. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 24, 09:12 1

Cuomo... does not like Turtle. -- nm* - Spawn Apr 24, 09:11
Cuomo to McConnel: Go fuck yourself. -- nm - Remlik Apr 24, 09:10 4
- it would matter if mcconnel cared. he doesn't care what anybody thinks of him. probably only thing he cares about right now is getting out-fundraised - colin Apr 24, 09:12 3
  - He is up for reelection this year FWIW -- nm - con_carne Apr 24, 09:15 2
    - oh yeah. he's truly concerned about that. everything else? meh. - colin Apr 24, 09:21 1

"irresponsibly" taken .. "out of context" ! -- (link) - mud the GOPbot Apr 24, 08:46 9
- Shocker! -- nm - Strongbad Apr 24, 09:09
- right? they keep leaving out the part where he legit couldn't think of the word for brain. -- nm - colin Apr 24, 08:59 4
  - Yeah, that part was just as bad. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 24, 09:01 3
    - the supporters who say "oh, he's just making a joke" are insane too... as though him being a big jokester during these briefings is okay. - colin Apr 24, 09:03 2
      - "He's just trolling the media." That's what we need right now, a troll. -- nm - loosilu Apr 24, 09:07 1
        
        owning them libs! woo! -- nm - colin Apr 24, 09:11
- I... ahhh.... wha? he made the comments at a press conference, how could they be taken out of context? -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 24, 08:53 1
  - It's their last resort excuse. -- nm - loosilu Apr 24, 08:55
- That excuse always kills me. He sounds even worse in full context, most of the time. -- nm* - loosilu Apr 24, 08:51
where is my *good* space heater?? -- nm - amanda Apr 24, 08:41 3

- Anything above 6 per million, which is what S Korea has, would indicate he is not. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 24, 08:40 2
  - 328 x 6 = 1,968. So like, March 29th? -- nm - Spawn Apr 24, 08:49
  - Just need to make the denominator bigger. -- nm - Reagen Apr 24, 08:43
- hmmm .. -- (link) - mud Apr 24, 08:38
so...based on what I'm reading and seeing...people are just kind of upset about the Packers pick...and confused -- nm* - Beaker Apr 24, 08:29 8
- I don’t understand why. The GM is supposed to steer a team for the long-term. Rodgers is 36/37...he’s got 2-3 years left realistically. - Will Hunting Apr 24, 08:45 7
  - How long did Rodgers ride the bench? -- nm - Spawn Apr 24, 09:13
  - A number one cannot sit on the bench for 2-3 years. Especially a QB. See Trubisky. - zunkskunk Apr 24, 09:11
  - 1 game from Super Bowl and they use their pick on a guy who won't play seems to be the concensus -- nm - Beaker Apr 24, 08:47 4
    - That's how I view it. The Packers were one good, solid receiver away from the Super Bowl. - ReluctantCynic Apr 24, 09:10 1
      - Exactly. -- nm - zunkskunk Apr 24, 09:11
    - When they picked Rodgers while they had Favre people were also confused. Rodgers is older than Favre was when they picked Rodgers. - pmb Apr 24, 08:51
    - Rodgers got a three year apprenticeship under Favre. This sounds about right here. -- nm - Reagen Apr 24, 08:50
Listening to my kid on his classroom Zoom call is the fun type of chaos. These children are boisterous and so happy to see each other. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 24, 08:27
I wonder if I'll be able to ask for asylum somewhere when Bozo tries his coup. - Marlowe Apr 24, 08:17 4
- Come to Casa Mop! -- nm - Mop Apr 24, 08:30
- Come to Portland, Oregon. We got room for you, and I know plenty of folks to help with the asylum claim. Plus ... - ReluctantCynic Apr 24, 08:19
- Asylum is where he needs to be taken. -- nm - loosilu Apr 24, 08:19
- Venezuela seems to need people. - spamlet Apr 24, 08:18
Erm, I'm currently drafting a agreement and one of the directors of the company we're working with is... - LMS Apr 24, 08:15 6
- like the real Rick Astley? -- nm - Pippy- Jitterbug into my brain Apr 24, 08:44 2
  - Fact: Every person named "Rick Astley" has legally changed their name, except for Rick Astley prime. -- nm - Spawn Apr 24, 08:50 1
    - I can just imagine every project he's ever involved with spinning out of control with the rolls. -- nm - loosilu Apr 24, 08:53
- He seems to be a fantastic guy and I'm glad he's survived obscurity and embraced his second life. -- nm - Mop Apr 24, 08:31
- Can you make the first letter of each line spell Never Gonna Give You Up? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 24, 08:16 1
  - Doubtful but I will be rickrolling my lawyers. -- nm - LMS Apr 24, 08:26
Heh. -- (link) - Beryllium Apr 24, 08:14 2
- Jerruh? -- nm - Spawn Apr 24, 08:15 1
  - One would assume, yes. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 24, 08:16
*yawn* - Beryllium Apr 24, 08:00 24
- Signed, 2015 -- nm - JackDawson Apr 24, 08:30 1
  - Yes, quite. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 24, 08:55
- It's not a playbook, he's just a desperate moron. -- nm - Reagen Apr 24, 08:23
- What do you expect really? We are on here every day engaging in Republican talking points. Like I told you yesterday, but you pretended to not -- (edited) - con_carne Apr 24, 08:11 5
  - engaging with, not engaging in. - znufrii, silly old man Apr 24, 08:20
  - Pretended? No, this is not the takeaway I had from your comment at all. But in hindsight I can sort of see what you were getting at. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 24, 08:14 3
    - Maybe you should demonstrate you understand someone's point instead of criticizing them for their word choice. -- nm - con_carne Apr 24, 08:36 2
      - I understood what you said. I didn't understand what you meant. I don't think that's on me. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 24, 08:45
      - Is word choice not part of effective communication? - Reagen Apr 24, 08:41
- You give him too much credit. He will always, always say something monumentally stupid. -- nm - loosilu Apr 24, 08:06 10
  - Yes. And he will always, the next day, say something else. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 24, 08:31
  - yes exactly. its not *always* meant to be a distraction. - Jovian Apr 24, 08:11 7
    - Meanwhile, 95% of what is written about is his stupid statement, not about the courts continuing to dismantle ACA, or appointing judges, etc. - JaxSean Apr 24, 08:28 3
      - Signed, 2015 -- nm - JackDawson Apr 24, 08:35 2
        
        Right - he's been doing it all along, and the GOP doesn't want to do anything about it. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 24, 09:10 1
        
        And the media is complicit in how they cover him, and they will be responsible if he’s reelected (along with those feeding the ego of him and his fol - JackDawson Apr 24, 09:21
    - He is 5% preparation, 95% whatever the hell goes through his head. -- nm - Spawn Apr 24, 08:13 2
      - My theory is that it's two fireflies in there, flashing mostly out of sync. -- nm - loosilu Apr 24, 08:14 1
        
        MIB needs to collect the guy, the atmosphere has clearly damaged the little alien controlling the human suit. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 24, 08:15

    - So. Many. - Spawn Apr 24, 08:29
Narcos Mexico S2... A? I think whatever flaws I see are pretty meaningless. A. -- nm - con_carne Apr 24, 07:53 2
- the whole Narcos series is probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite thing from Netflix. Right up there with Stranger Things and The Witcher -- nm - Beaker Apr 24, 07:57 1
  - Gonna be doing original Narcos next... haven't seen it! -- nm - con_carne Apr 24, 07:59

David, I'm going to steal your John Wick line and use it with reckless abandon. That is a fantastic image. - Open Baron Apr 24, 07:41 7

Krusty, Sean Collier writing for BOP really likes the Apple+ (ugh) Beastie Boys (yay!) documentary -- (link) - prayformojo Apr 24, 07:41 1
- Fuck Apple+! I can't use it on my TV because for some idiotic reason they don't have an app for any video game consoles. - Krusty Apr 24, 09:01
Because everything is just hanky-dory, Bozonaro fired the Federal Police chief, which pushed the Justice Minister to quit. - Marlowe Apr 24, 07:37 1
- Someone needs to make a satirical buddy comedy (kind of like The Interview) mocking Bozonaro and Mango Mussolini. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Apr 24, 07:40
When I scroll through Reddit, I'm often amused by the "top broadcast" it shows for live video. Today's is a guy trying to stack golf balls -- (link) - oblique Apr 24, 07:29 2

What if we could set off little nuclear explosions inside the body. I'm not suggesting that but maybe scientists could look into it. I'm not a doctor - Krusty Apr 24, 07:28 11
