Yeah, okay, people registering for Trump events and then no showing isn’t new. I do think the campaign manager made a huge self-own by bragging. -- (link) - Tim Jun 21, 08:26 3
- Even so, giving "teens on Tik Tok" the win can't be bad. We empower a group of voters who traditionally never vote+ spend a ton of time online, -- (edited) - Flavorize Jun 21, 08:41
- Yeah it’s a double edged sword. The whole point is publicity. If it WAS a capacity crowd, that, combined with his tweets sends a strong message. - Volnelk Jun 21, 08:32 1

- "A lot of hats on Tinder" -- nm - David Jun 21, 08:31

- And on Father’s Day weekend...sorta fits too -- nm - Flavorize Jun 21, 08:09
- Laupp, the "Tiktok Grandma" that started it 10 days ago, being interviewed by Stelter now -- nm - mud Jun 21, 08:05

at some point in the last few years, I became a Lawn Dad. I think it is the fate of us all. -- nm - Reagen Jun 21, 06:41 17
- I hate it. It's a chore, and my back hurts after. But I'm also too cheap to pay someone to do it. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 21, 08:10
- I hate my lawn. Does that count? I want to kill it and replace it with something useful. But it’s kikuyu, so that’s impossible. -- nm - mafic Jun 21, 07:25
- Better work on upgrading your Fist Shaking skill. It's essential to the leveling process. -- nm - Bjarön Jun 21, 07:13
- Do what I did: get a place with no lawn. -- nm - Mop Jun 21, 07:02
- Lol, I've recently found myself watching YouTube videos of a lawn maintenance guy - J Jun 21, 06:56 3
  - I've decided to be fine with the clover invasion -- (edited) - Reagen Jun 21, 06:59 2
    - Yep, when the clover comes in full it's fine. -- nm - J Jun 21, 07:41
    - It’s not that you have too much clover, it’s that you don’t have enough sheep. -- nm - mafic Jun 21, 07:27
- I finally gave up this year and we hired the guy who cuts our neighbor’s grass. - znufrii Jun 21, 06:55
- I enjoy cutting the grass and edging. It's all the other BS that sucks. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 21, 06:53 1
  - This. We’ve had moles lately and it’s a pain in the butt. -- nm - Volnelk Jun 21, 06:55
- I'm not sure what a Lawn Dad is. Could you please elaborate/ -- nm - crash davis Jun 21, 06:47 4
  - Obsessed with lawn care and a nice even cut. -- nm - Reagen Jun 21, 06:48 3
    - Hank Hill! nm - ralph wiggum Jun 21, 07:07 1
      - It's charcoal today though, which would anger him. -- nm - Reagen Jun 21, 07:08
    - I can dig it. But I'm not there right now. This year my lawn looks like Trump's America -- nm - crash davis Jun 21, 06:49
- Not all of us. -- nm - Krusty without grass Jun 21, 06:46
Just sitting on my porch, drinking a cup of coffee - znufrii Jun 21, 06:21 5
- Wow, I really like that place. But I declare you the victor in the neighborhood backsplash war. -- nm - crash davis Jun 21, 06:47 4
  - It has a better layout and bigger footprint than ours -- (edited) - znufrii Jun 21, 06:54 3
    - I just love the wood trim of the entryway and living room against the white walls. Also that little bench against the stairs gets a chef's kiss. -- nm - crash davis Jun 21, 06:58 2
      - The only thing I don’t love is the shape of the opening into the kitchen -- (edited) - znufrii Jun 21, 07:09 1
        
        Yeah, given the island, they don't really need a breakfast bar there. -- nm - crash davis Jun 21, 07:18
Protesters in SF are finally getting to the heart of the matter as they toppled the statue of the person most responsible for slavery: Ulysses S Grant -- nm - crash davis Jun 21, 06:07 24
- We still have the titty statue though right? -- nm - Qale Jun 21, 07:21
- Some people just want to watch the world burn. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 21, 06:55
- There are always overreaches. But it's just a statue. -- nm - Reagen Jun 21, 06:23 16
  - Careful cause “it’s just a statute” could work both ways -- nm - JackDawson Jun 21, 06:50 6
    - No see, a statute is a law. A statue is a sculpture. I’d think as a lawyer you’d know that. -- nm - mafic Jun 21, 07:29 2
      - Oh whoops I forgot! -- nm - JackDawson Jun 21, 08:08
      - enough of your pendantry! -- nm - Reagen Jun 21, 07:32
    - #allstatuesmatter - znufrii Jun 21, 07:23 1
      - No spitting on the sidewalk. (The #allstatutesmatter nt.) -- nm - Qale Jun 21, 07:31
    - The long version of my sentiment is "some people are way more worried about metal in the shape of a person than an actual person". -- nm - Reagen Jun 21, 06:53
  - Both those sentences are correct. But to me it symbolizes a larger problem with some "progressives' - crash davis Jun 21, 06:44 8
    - The way I look at it is this: Don't lose the forest for the trees. - ty97 Jun 21, 07:58
    - Very dumb -- nm - JackDawson Jun 21, 06:50
    - Churchill was completely shitty outside of a brief 5 year period. -- nm - Reagen Jun 21, 06:48 5
      - If you're trying to make me laugh, you succeeded :) -- nm - crash davis Jun 21, 06:51 4
        
        I think this actually shows that we can find a line for reasonable discussion - Reagen Jun 21, 06:58 3
        
        I'll agree with you. And then go back to smiling at "Except for when the world was on the line, that dude sucked" -- nm - crash davis Jun 21, 07:07 2
        
        The dark side of Winston Churchill -- (link) - Krusty without grass Jun 21, 07:22
        
        He stepped up when he had to but what he did before that was rather awful. The British in Africa just murdered so many people. He participated when -- (edited) - Krusty without grass Jun 21, 07:17
- *smh* -- nm - znufrii Jun 21, 06:10 4
  - As a general, he crushed the Confederacy and as a president, he crushed the first iteration of the KKK. So yeah, he kind of phuccen sucks -- nm - crash davis Jun 21, 06:12 3
    - He owned a slave im guessing is the reason. - spamlet Jun 21, 06:27 2
      - You're right. Nuance is dead -- nm - crash davis Jun 21, 06:34
      - Two weeks ago, I watched the History Channel's new three part documentary on him. Ta-Nehisi Coates is a big fan of the guy -- nm - crash davis Jun 21, 06:30
The Never-Trump conservatives are having fun -- (link) - Will Hunting Jun 21, 06:05 11
- Weren’t we all wondering how they were gonna do social distancing at the rally? -- nm - Mop Jun 21, 07:08 1
  - They had the chance and they still blew it, anyway. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 21, 07:36
- Mmmm, wings. -- (link) - Will Hunting Jun 21, 06:17
- yes -- (link) - mud Jun 21, 06:15 3
  - He should have been excited, there were more people there than in Tulsa. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 21, 07:28
  - Holy shit. - Will Hunting Jun 21, 06:20
  - I can't think of when I've heard crickets used more savagely -- nm - crash davis Jun 21, 06:18
- This should be the ad. Just this picture for 30 seconds. -- (pic) - Volnelk Jun 21, 06:09 [Attachment] 3
  - Have there been any rage tweets yet? -- nm - crash davis Jun 21, 06:10 2
    - Given the video above, he’s probably sitting in bed sobbing while Barron is trying anything to make him - Will Hunting Jun 21, 06:22 1
      - HA! Why would he cry when he had the biggest turn out EVER for a rally? - Cuzzin Todd Jun 21, 07:18
Happy Father's Day to all the ST dads! -- nm - Krusty Jun 21, 05:56 6

The Hollywood poker stuff in Ocean’s 11 is good overall but my favorite meta throwaway sight gag is Topher getting mobbed by fans outside a club... - Dano Jun 21, 05:47 1
- yup -- nm - prayformojo Jun 21, 06:00
Last Kiss is a bad, bad song. -- nm - loosilu Jun 21, 05:40 12
- Eddie's voice is wrong for it. -- nm - Reagen Jun 21, 05:43 11
  - It's a shitty song to start with, and yes. -- nm - loosilu Jun 21, 05:44 10
    - You're both wrong. It is a classic song from the teenage death genre and Eddie's voice is appropriately morose. It raised a lot of money for Kosovo - crash davis Jun 21, 06:02 9
      - I'm glad it raised money in spite of sucking so much. -- nm - loosilu Jun 21, 08:09
      - Most people can’t understand opera lyrics anyway so it’s a good fit. -- nm - spamlet Jun 21, 08:01
      - the dead teenager genre is bad as a rule - Reagen Jun 21, 06:18 6
        
        Let me quote an ethnomusicologist in the hopes that I am the first person on ST to say ethnomusicologist - crash davis Jun 21, 06:28 5
        
        You were, in fact, the first person on ST to say ethnomusicologist. Congrats! -- nm - znufrii Jun 21, 06:49 3
        
        You're pissed you missed the chance, aren't you. -- nm - Reagen Jun 21, 06:53 1
        
        Slightly -- nm - znufrii Jun 21, 07:10

6200 people last night, which would be pretty good for a semi-pro hockey game. -- (link) - Reagen Jun 21, 04:53 9
- Even smaller than we were guessing -- nm - loosilu Jun 21, 05:42 2
  - That’s the title of Trump’s sex tape. -- nm - Volnelk Jun 21, 06:03 1
    - Ewww. -- nm - znufrii Jun 21, 06:11
- And this is the point that I'm making (which is better than 'people who wanted to go were kept out') -- (link) - Reagen Jun 21, 04:57 5
  - Exactly. Two things happened. The kids reserving tickets screwed up the planning, not the attendance. - Volnelk Jun 21, 05:16 4
    - I think they screwed themselves too. Talking about how many people were going to be there probably made some bail. -- nm - mafic Jun 21, 07:32
    - That's the entire point of getting the tickets. -- nm - loosilu Jun 21, 05:43 2
      - I’m just saying the bigger takeaway to me is that nobody came. - Volnelk Jun 21, 05:52 1

First party Xbox games like Halo Infinite will be included in Game Pass at launch? -- (link) - Mop Jun 20, 23:39 1
- Yes. First party games have been available at launch thus far, so I don’t see why that would change. That’s the leading appeal of Game Pass. -- nm - Qale Jun 21, 07:28

    - I don't think we see sports until 2021 -- nm - Krusty without grass Jun 21, 07:24
I've revised my opinion. Loosi and the K-Pop crowd were right. They juiced the numbers, Trump camp crowed about those number and now look foolish - TWuG Jun 20, 22:15 6
- They'll just lie and aay the crowd was bigger than it actually was. -- nm - Mop Jun 20, 23:23 3
  - Now saying protestors were blocking entrances and metal detectors, so people couldn't get in. -- nm - Flavorize Jun 20, 23:49
  - But the beauty of it is he canceled the overflow area appearance. -- nm - Spawn Jun 20, 23:47 1

- He spent time on his speech on drinking water and about walking down the ramp...any neg viral tweet eats at him. - Flavorize Jun 20, 23:12 1
  - They put a ridiculous amount of effort into this only to get this as the enduring image from it -- (link) - Reagen Jun 21, 03:21
- He's desperately needed a win for about 10 days now, and he keeps getting denied even the smallest ones. -- nm - David Jun 20, 22:30
