Part of me also kinda hopes for an atom bomb VP pick. ie Warren -- nm - Jovian Jul 28, 16:51 8

- ya think DJT is unhinged now? -- nm - Jovian Jul 28, 16:51 3
  - Being confronted with competence won't rattle Trump. Poking his ego is what hurts him. -- nm - Mop Jul 28, 17:02
  - He'll just keep calling them old and it'll work -- nm - Beryllium Jul 28, 16:56 1
    - (And no amount of "but trump is old too" will be effective, because ultimately he's a bully and invulnerable to that) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 28, 17:18

  - I haven’t watched Stranger Things season 3 -- nm - Epiphany-Pale Rider Jul 28, 17:11 1
    - There's just too much. -- nm - Reagen Jul 28, 17:20
- Oh man, it's soooo good. -- nm - David Jul 28, 16:35 3
  - I know! All I can figure is that I followed a tangent over to Luke Cage, didn't finish that, and then fell and hit my head or something. -- nm - Blue Punch Baron Jul 28, 16:37 2
    - Janet McTeer is perfect casting. -- nm - David Jul 28, 16:46 1
      - That's a name I haven't heard in a little while. -- (edited) - znufrii still hasn't gotten a haircut Jul 28, 16:57

Trump also losing ground in people expecting him to win -- (link) - znufrii, silly old man Jul 28, 16:01 5
- This feels like measuring the second derivative and trying to recreate the function from it. -- nm* - Blue Punch Baron Jul 28, 16:27 2
  - Or a massive game of "but do they know that we know that they know we know" -- nm - Reagen Jul 28, 16:37 1
    - But they didn't. They only knew that we'd know that they knew. Did we know that? -- nm - Blue Punch Baron Jul 28, 16:41
- (But more people think he'll win than Biden right now.) -- nm - David Jul 28, 16:10 1

  - Outdoors are cancelled until autumn, sorry. -- nm - Qale Jul 28, 16:19
  - Now eat a whole bag of chips. -- nm - Reagen Jul 28, 15:57 2

More mask talk. Eshakti gets a thumbs up. Nice material. Adjustable ear loops. Neck straps. They even threw in one extra. Pic. - Andie Jul 28, 15:18 [Attachment]
I heard of a priest who only ate noodles - JD Jul 28, 15:13 2
- oh yeah? Well I heard of a Buddhist monk who refused novocaine at the denist - prayformojo Jul 28, 15:18 1
  - *laugh* -- nm - JD Jul 28, 15:24
A moment of enlightenment -- (link) - ty97 Jul 28, 14:49 5
- did he clarify his standing on demon seed? -- nm - decline Jul 28, 14:55 2
  - no, when Kaitlan Collins tried to follow up he turned and walked out. -- nm - mud Jul 28, 14:57 1
    - he cant handle Kaitlan -- nm - Jovian Jul 28, 15:22
- "DNA from aliens" makes it into the White House press briefing -- (link) - mud Jul 28, 14:55

Sorry, we were at Embry-Riddle in Daytona Beach. -- nm - spamlet Jul 28, 14:35
Biden: I'll have a running mate (Kamala) picked next week -- (link) - the ice Jul 28, 14:35 20
- She’s already picked. It will just be announced next week. -- nm - spamlet Jul 28, 14:53
- Hope you're right. But the murmurs Im hearing that it will be Susan Rice are no bueno. -- nm - Jovian Jul 28, 14:45 18
  - Doesn't Susan Rice just beg to pull the whole Clinton saga back into the race? -- nm - ty97 Jul 28, 14:48 17
    - she absolutely does. Which is why she has no business being named VP. -- nm - Jovian Jul 28, 14:49 16
      - I simply can't imagine any reason he would be willing to do that -- nm - ty97 Jul 28, 14:53 15
        
        He knows her. - Will Hunting Jul 28, 15:03 14
        
        I mean, in a vacuum she's highly qualified and a solid pick. And Benghazi was bullshit. But it does provide a target. -- nm - pmb Jul 28, 15:23 10
        
        On both sides. Commentators and news orgs are gonna lick their chops at saying "DOES Rice have TOO MUCH of a HILLARY connection?!?" -- nm - con_carne Jul 28, 15:52
        
        As I said, rightly or wrongly, Benghazi makes her a poor political calculation. -- nm - ty97 Jul 28, 15:25 4
        
        anyone that can attached to HRC needs to be ruled out. Otherwise - Jovian Jul 28, 15:26 3
        
        Well by that argument Biden is attached to her - eag Jul 28, 15:29 1
        
        Yes, and he should have been ruled out in favour of Warren. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 28, 15:51
        
        It's unfortunate, but I tend to agree -- nm - ty97 Jul 28, 15:28
        
        She inspires nothing and no one as well. Kamala on the other hand. Susan Rice is as 'vanilla' a pick as Kaine was. -- nm - Jovian Jul 28, 15:25 3
        
        Having had her as a national security advisor with Obama, he may just respect her opinion. He doesn't need a legislative help the way some do. - pmb Jul 28, 15:38
        
        But is it enough to pull the polls away from Biden right now - eag Jul 28, 15:28 1
        
        Why take the risk of anything negative though? -- nm - ty97 Jul 28, 15:28
        
        Still would be a terrible political calculation. She comes with built in Benghazi/Clinton baggage (whether that's right or wrong does not matter) -- nm - ty97 Jul 28, 15:06 2
        
        I know, but you asked for a reason. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 28, 15:11
        
        Yeah, this would be huge. Not Palin level, but big. -- nm - ♤Spawn♤ Jul 28, 15:08
Heh. -- (link) - Beryllium Jul 28, 14:23 2
- Was the name of her cat the funny part? -- nm - ♤Spawn♤ Jul 28, 15:07 1
  - That and following the wrong wikihow page. WikiHow image re-enactments are a budding meme. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 28, 15:50

- Nah, I'm not seeing it. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 28, 14:20 5
  - I see it. I just don't know what he's doing. -- nm - Mop Jul 28, 17:04
  - I definitely see it; I'm just not sure if it's on purpose. Maybe he thinks this is a cool way to walk? -- nm - Maracello, Unofficial Winner Jul 28, 14:21 3
    - I'm sure he'll explain it in tonight's tweet. -- nm - Meg Jul 28, 15:53
    - he thinks he's a cowboy!! -- nm - decline Jul 28, 14:23 1
      - He looks like a bored child. -- nm - ♤Spawn♤ Jul 28, 15:00

  - Why? - JD Jul 28, 14:18

- Raisimg Hope and My Name is Earl are great companion shows. -- nm - Mop Jul 28, 13:36 3
  - Totally. We've been "splurging" for Hulu w/o commercials instead of free Hulu since the pandemic started. It has been totally worth it. -- nm - oblique Jul 28, 13:40 1
    - I am so with you on this. I held out for years. I wanted to finish Justified since Netflix stopped at Season 4? 5? And I really like it a lot. - Epiphany loves Elsie Jul 28, 14:09
