This side by side of Trump speaking is pretty glaring. -- (link) - Volnelk Jun 13, 20:21 6
- Yeah, see below. -- nm - Spawn Jun 13, 20:53
- It’s largely the difference between when he’s speaking off the cuff and when he’s reading a prepared speech. - pmb Jun 13, 20:52 3
  - I’m not so sure. His most recent ‘off the cuff’ moments don’t sound even closely as ‘coherent’ as that older clip in the video. -- nm - Qale Jun 14, 07:42
  - The moment when he has to help his hand to his mouth when drinking water was startling. -- nm - Mop Jun 13, 20:54 1
    - It was like he could lift the glass but couldn't swivel his wrist to tip it. -- nm - Meg Jun 13, 21:08
- Could be medication. -- nm - Mop Jun 13, 20:29
lol: "The ramp that I descended after my W Point Commencement speech was very long & steep, had no handrail and, most importantly, was very slippery." -- nm - Jovian Jun 13, 20:13 6
- Oh, wow. He actually said that. I thought for sure you were quoting satire. -- nm - TWuG Jun 13, 20:38
- Is he arguing that he was tired or telling us how fit he is? -- nm - Mop Jun 13, 20:35 4
  - Did he slip and fall? Why is he saying that? -- nm - . Jun 13, 20:38 3
    - because he has been getting ridiculed about it all day on Twitter. -- (edited) - Jovian Jun 13, 21:01 1
      - This is the very long and steep and very slippery ramp he is talking about. -- (link) - Jovian Jun 13, 21:03
    - I assume he’s being made to explain his slurring and sluggishness during his West Point speech today. And that’s *GREAT*! - Mop Jun 13, 20:46
The largest number of active cases we have had in the US thus far was 1.18 million on May 30. We are now back to 1.17 million. -- (edited) - David Jun 13, 20:12 3
- I was distinctly told that it was over and everything could go back to normal. -- nm - Tim Jun 13, 20:28
- DO NOT WANT -- nm - ty97 Jun 13, 20:24
- Regarding my argument of the rise in hospitalizations, - JaxSean Jun 13, 20:24
MLB and Turner Sports have agreed to a new billion dollar deal for the network to continue broadcasting an LCS and the playoffs, The Post has learned. -- (link) - Remlik Jun 13, 19:33 1
- Another one today? Maybe this means they can pay the players now. -- nm - Ender Jun 13, 20:21
Well this doesn't bode well. There are rumours of a serial killer currently active in PA, too. -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 13, 19:30
Atlanta update: The Wendy's is now on fire, and the interstate has been blocked in both directions. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 13, 19:29 7
- It's not WENDY'S FAULT -- nm - JaxSean Jun 13, 20:09 1
  - LEAVE WENDY ALONE -- nm - Strongbad Jun 13, 20:17
- I was hoping it would not turn into this, but am not surprised -- nm - ty97 Jun 13, 19:55
- The Wendy's is next to a gas station :eek: -- (link) - ty97 Jun 13, 19:49
- Sir, this is a Wendy’s. -- nm - Qale Jun 13, 19:46
- CNN is covering it now -- (link) - Remlik Jun 13, 19:35 1
  - its burning like a texas oil refinery -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 13, 19:49
ABC News is going to have to clean house... -- (link) - Remlik Jun 13, 19:17 1
- Iger came up through ABC News. I hope he isn't involved. -- nm - Mop Jun 13, 20:28
Star Wars The Clone Wars: A -- nm - Remlik Jun 13, 18:58

- Where’d you watch it? That is, where is it available? -- nm - Mop Jun 13, 21:01
- It was more of the same from Morgan, but far better played than Greatest Movie Ever Sold. -- nm - Qale Jun 13, 20:17
So ST is smarter (perhaps crueler?) what film series should Dano watch? By association that means I'll watch as well - JD Jun 13, 18:39 [Backboard] 7
- oooh, I know - the Atlas Shrugged movies! -- (link*) - prayformojo Jun 13, 19:38 1
  - Do you want to kill them? -- nm - . Jun 13, 20:26
- Doesn’t ... spoiler for Final Destination - Qale Jun 13, 18:56
- I’ve never seen a Resident Evil or Underworld movie. The other series I’ve seen at least more than one movie for each of them. -- nm - Dano Jun 13, 18:45 3
  - RE is probably going to be less painful for you than Underworld. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 13, 18:50 2
    - that's a vote for Underworld -- nm - rollo Jun 13, 19:21
    - Underworld is sexier. - Epiphany Jun 13, 18:58
On this day in 2003, Roger Clemens won his 3,000th game -- (link) - budice Jun 13, 17:54 7

  - he copied Bugs Bunny :) -- nm - Peglegpete Jun 13, 18:09
- Those roids were something. -- nm - Reagen Jun 13, 17:58
- holy shit -- nm - Tim Jun 13, 17:57
- That’s be like a record or something. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 13, 17:57
cnn lawyer has interesting argument, cops all the time say taser is not a deadly weapon, therefore cops can't shoot you for having one -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 13, 17:47 4
- But it "looks like a gun", so there's a flaw in their logic. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 13, 19:12 3
  - But the guy grabbed it from the cop so they knew what it was. -- nm - pmb Jun 13, 20:54 2
    - IF the cop could tell whether it was a gun or a taser. -- nm - Ender Jun 13, 21:05 1
      - But he took it from them so they had a decent idea. -- nm - pmb Jun 13, 21:16
As a way to not scare people I think the health dept is emphasizing that 93% that died had pre-existing health conditions... however it is freaking - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 13, 17:21 5 1
- My brother tells me that everyone dying in Quebec is in the seniors homes so the numbers are skewed. - Mop Jun 13, 20:32
- Also, "pre-existing conditions" could encompass obesity or a stubbed toe! -- nm - Mop Jun 13, 20:31
- and saying that is why so many won't wear a mask -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 13, 17:51
- A theory why men have higher death rates is that bald men have the worst outcomes - zeitgeist Jun 13, 17:45
- My dad is still there. He said it to me last week. -- nm* - jnine Jun 13, 17:27
MLBPA cutting off further negotiations and telling the owners to let them know where and when to report for 50 game season. -- (link) - spamlet Jun 13, 17:13
New Zealand PSA on children viewing content online -- (link) - budice Jun 13, 17:10 1
- Dang, she can really crank up the corner of her mouth. -- nm - Max Jun 14, 00:26
MLB owners crying about money while finishing up a BILLION dollar tv deal isn’t a great look. -- nm - Volnelk Jun 13, 16:50 1
- Dog bites man. -- nm - Bjarön Jun 13, 16:56
Dear little buggies in the park, I'm not bothering you, just sitting here in the sun reading. Leave me alone! -- nm - Bjarön Jun 13, 16:46
(it's one poll.......) Ernst down 3 points in Iowa Senate race -- (link) - ty97 Jun 13, 16:10 13
- Nate: -- (link) - Jovian Jun 13, 17:21
- Unless her opponent is polling over 50, color me skeptical. -- nm - znufrii Jun 13, 16:26 3
  - Greenfield still at nearly 40% no opinion, so still not terribly well-known. - Bjarön Jun 13, 16:40
  - I'll do a rule of thumb on these kinds of polls where - Reagen Jun 13, 16:35 1
    - Reasonable. -- nm - znufrii Jun 13, 16:39
- What Democrats need to do is find a way to sustain momentum rather slipping as happened in 2016. - David Jun 13, 16:20 6
  - More and more, it’s just clear that people really fucking hated Hillary. - Tim Jun 13, 16:33 5
    - And that they didn't want a woman for president. -- nm - . Jun 13, 18:44
    - Agreed. -- nm - Volnelk Jun 13, 16:39 3
      - Look at the Michigan primary results from 2016 and this year. The state didn’t suddenly decide it hated socialism. -- nm - Tim Jun 13, 16:45 2
        
        Don't understimate the difference between Trump the candidate and Trump the president -- nm - eag Jun 13, 16:58 1
        
        The difference this time is that Trump the candidate has to deal with Trump the president. - Dano Jun 13, 17:13
- The last *4* polls have had her tied or losing. -- nm - Reagen Jun 13, 16:20
I’d forgotten how good garden-fresh peas taste. - znufrii Jun 13, 16:08 9
- Not sure I've ever had truly fresh ones. Only frozen or canned. Canned are revolting. -- nm - Bjarön Jun 13, 16:57 1
  - Especially if they are boiled for half an hour. - . Jun 13, 18:42
- They're so good! This was an excellent spring for peas and greens here. We had snow peas and shell peas, and all sorts of lettuce. -- nm - mara Jun 13, 16:56
- Raw out of the pod -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 13, 16:10 5
  - Yup -- nm - znufrii Jun 13, 16:10 4
    - This thread is among the grossest I have read on ST. -- nm - Spawn Jun 13, 16:56 3
      - shush and eat your jagged little pills -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 13, 17:48
      - English peas are manna from god. Sweet, crisp, perfectly bite sized ... -- nm - Beryllium Jun 13, 17:16 1
        
        (Fresh off the vine is best, store bought in pod is second best, anything else is ... ehhh.) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 13, 17:19
Not sure what's wrong with Trump in this video. Maybe it *is* bone spurs - TWuG Jun 13, 16:00 3
- That's just over weight and out of shape old man -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 13, 16:12 2
  - but he sure does look happy he didn't trip and fall on his face -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 13, 17:50 1
    - If he were wearing glasses I might understand it. I wear bifocals and have some balance problems so would likely look like that. But he's -- (edited) - Meg Jun 13, 18:28
"Your departure to California is in 6 months" Well 6 months and 7 days and I'm already in California :-) - Meg Jun 13, 15:59
I ordered something from China in March. It sat in customs in SF for most of May before entering the USPS. Figured it would move quickly then. No. - Spawn Jun 13, 15:47 2

I don’t know if Krusty even see’s me. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 13, 15:08 3
- I think he already has a girlfriend. -- nm - Spawn Jun 13, 15:09 2
  - Yeah true. But does he in the game? -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 13, 15:11 1
    - I saw you but I don't have my headphones to say anything and I didn't know how to do the emote for a minute. Sorry about that. -- nm - Krusty Jun 13, 16:30
David and Kim are awesome awesome people, and Kelly and I need to start answering the doorbell more often. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 13, 14:59 19
- I’m sayin’! You could have been the first person other than Kim to see my terrible, terrible hair! -- nm - David Jun 13, 15:00 18
  - He saw the hair and said, “ no sir!” -- nm - Epiphany Jun 13, 16:07 4
    - If that's what happened, I wouldn't blame them. - David Jun 13, 16:08 3
      - I said that? I was obviously high -- nm - Epiphany Jun 13, 16:32 1
        
        And my hair is even worse than *that*! -- nm - David Jun 13, 16:35
      - Nah. I was ready to hop in the car and chase down you guys. -- nm - kelly Jun 13, 16:16
  - I even saw the light reflection on our bonus room wall while Nathan and I were playing Minecraft but the only -- (edited) - Will Hunting Jun 13, 15:01 12
    - Seriously, I heard the bell and was like eh, it’s either a neighbor kid or a door to door salesman. - kelly Jun 13, 15:12
    - Mmmhmmm -- nm - David Jun 13, 15:03 10
      - The second I got your text I ran to the window but you were already gone. -- nm - kelly Jun 13, 15:14 3
        
        I’m like the wind. - David Jun 13, 15:16 2
        
        Tom Servo? -- nm - Qale Jun 13, 15:18 1
        
        Nobody gets him! -- nm - mara Jun 13, 16:59
      - Keep playing, pretend we're not home. Maybe he'll go away. -- nm - Will si Jun 13, 15:04 1
        
        Exactly. -- nm - David Jun 13, 15:05
      - I like this package more than the usual ones we get after the doorbell rings? *slightly raised shrugging voice* -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 13, 15:03 3
        
        Perv. -- nm - David Jun 13, 15:05 2
        
        What, no sausage? - Will Hunting Jun 13, 15:09 1
        
        Less talking, more eating. I’ve got a lot invested in Nathan as a prodigy. -- nm - David Jun 13, 15:10
Jeff Davis is out! -- (link) - TWuG Jun 13, 14:50
Doug Jones is gonna lose (to Tommy Tuberville, of all people), but at least he's going out swinging. - Tim Jun 13, 14:47 1
- The Confederate soldiers betrayed their own character and decency fighting for the South (slavery). -- nm - VMan Jun 13, 14:56
Atlanta Police Chief Erika Shields has resigned. - Strongbad Jun 13, 14:46 13
- Here's the video -- (link*) - Strongbad Jun 13, 14:51 12
  - There is no way I’m making a call on 6 seconds of video. -- nm - Qale Jun 13, 15:04
  - I'm not sure what led up to that, but honestly if a suspect turns and points a weapon at you... - Will Hunting Jun 13, 15:01 10
    - It started with a guy asleep at the wheel in the drive-thru at Wendys -- nm - Strongbad Jun 13, 15:11 9
      - This is exactly the point. I made the same point when there was that video of the crazy white woman who got tazed by police. Not every action needs to -- (edited) - pmb Jun 13, 15:17 8
        
        At a run, in the dark, he turned and pointed a weapon at cops. I ain’t faulting a cop for shooting him then. - Will Hunting Jun 13, 15:25 7
        
        Maybe. But again, this is the police escalating the situation. The guy ran. He had every reason to be afraid for his life (as proved). Let him go. - pmb Jun 13, 15:55 4
        
        former LAPD chief said the cop was just too lazy to chase the guy, the taser was near useless if discharged already -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 13, 16:18 1
        
        They apparently have 2 charges -- nm - Ender Jun 13, 16:21
        
        Exactly. Once they're called, they have purchase to kill. So the natural response becomes their excuse to exercise their power. - Beryllium Jun 13, 16:00
        
        Yep. Police need evidence-based de-escalation training. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jun 13, 15:57

You know what’s missing from this golf telecast? A bunch of idiots yelling “Get in the hole!” -- nm - Dano Jun 13, 14:46 2
- Mashed potatoes! -- nm - VMan Jun 13, 14:57 1
  - You da man! -- nm - mara Jun 13, 17:01
It took one and a half years, but I finally saw the Flatwoods Monster in FO76. - Qale Jun 13, 14:46
Cool. Cool cool cool. -- nm - Spawn Jun 13, 14:45 2
