865,000 seems like a big number. -- (link) - Graveman ⚰️💀 Oct 2, 11:19 1

The rapid Covid tests used by the White House have a 51% false negatives rate. -- (link) - TWuG Oct 2, 11:18 3

- (coin toss) -- nm - mud🧷🎱 Oct 2, 11:19

- Wiki says there are four cases and 23 episodes but Netflix doesn't seem to have them all for some reason -- nm - Krusty The Anarchist Oct 2, 11:21 3
  - People seem to be watching the fourth case somewhere else as it's all over the subreddit -- nm - Krusty The Anarchist Oct 2, 11:25
  - At least, they stopped at the end of a complete story. - JD Oct 2, 11:25 1

- yes. -- nm - Remlik Oct 2, 11:15

  - But that was after *Hicks* tested positive not *Trump*, right? - ty97 Oct 2, 11:21

  - Really? I thought they were saying they knew Hicks was positive, not that they knew he was. -- nm - mara Oct 2, 11:14 3
    - *shrugs* Driving to work I heard it. Exact words were, "...knew and went ahead..." -- nm - 💀SPAWN💀 Oct 2, 11:30

  - yep, this is why the smh acronym was invented -- nm - crash davis Oct 2, 11:13
- So he was hugging and kissing military and police, and then things happened? - Inigo Oct 2, 11:03 2
  - I think they wanted to hug and kiss Hope Hicks. - zunkskunk scared stupid Oct 2, 11:16

  - Baseball ⚾️ umpires? -- nm - Flav/Shower Inspector 👩 🚿 🔪 🩸 Oct 2, 10:58 2
    - Not even Angel Hernandez or Joe West -- nm - New, Better David Oct 2, 11:08
    - they don't need a sense of smell, maybe it will sharpen their sense of sight -- nm - Graveman ⚰️💀 Oct 2, 11:02
Solid point: If we had just stopped testing as Trump wanted then this whole hullaballoo wouldn't be happening right now -- nm - decline Oct 2, 10:52 2
- "He's sick, but there's no way of knowing from what. We'll just have to wait and see how it goes." -- nm - 🧹 Broom 🧹 Oct 2, 11:30

oh grief, I just saw Corey Lewandowski on TV...how many people are sick that we have to resurrect him? -- nm - crash davis Oct 2, 10:52 6
- He has a book out. -- nm - mara Oct 2, 11:01 3
  - thanks, but ugh -- nm - crash davis Oct 2, 11:01 2
    - You have only yourself to blame! Stop watching the news! -- nm - mara Oct 2, 11:02 1
      - You're right, but I'm in full blown addiction crisis right now! -- nm - crash davis Oct 2, 11:03

    - Like everything with an edge it gets ruined by people who don't get that they're the ones being made fun of. -- nm - Reagen Oct 2, 10:53
    - It's pretty good. It's a take on a drunk Doc Brown and Marty Mcfly story. 1st season is rough -- nm - Remlik Oct 2, 10:51 1
      - If you can get to Season 3 Episode 7: The Ricklantis Mixup, it's well worth it. That episode is genius. -- nm - Inigo Oct 2, 10:58

  - Probably one, yes. I'm not much of a hot sauce person myself. - Dark Callisto Oct 2, 10:45 1
    - And I think that one was a gift, right? -- nm - New, Better David Oct 2, 10:49
- Counted 7, but I think I have more stored away in the basement. -- nm - aRCynic (and Old Lace) Oct 2, 10:42
- I can think of about 7 right now. -- nm - 😈💀 Deevil 🤡👻 Oct 2, 10:38

    - agreed -- nm - Graveman ⚰️💀 Oct 2, 10:47
    - I wasn't attacking! The guys are scumbag pieces of shit too -- nm - Boooooker Oct 2, 10:46 1
      - But what, specifically has she done? - Reagen Oct 2, 10:55
    - I don't have a problem with Hicks. Other than she lied to Congress. -- nm - crash davis Oct 2, 10:45 3
      - And she works to advance the Evil Empire. You can criticize her for her professional choices and say she has terrible taste in men, but a young, - jnine Oct 2, 10:46 2
        
        Or even if she is not young. (NM) - Marlowe Oct 2, 10:53
        
        I agree -- nm - crash davis Oct 2, 10:48

It's Grisham meets Crichton. -- (link) - Reagen Oct 2, 10:26 2

To David's point on B2, the Melania story would have been a (yet another) big black eye for the White House yesterday, but it got buried. -- nm - 🧹 Broom 🧹 Oct 2, 10:26 5
- FLOTUSes only hurt the POTUS when its embarrassing to his political brand. She is right on brand. -- nm - crash davis Oct 2, 10:28 4

    - yeah, but I don't see it changing votes -- nm - crash davis Oct 2, 10:47
  - Hating Christmas is not on brand. -- nm - jnine Oct 2, 10:29 1
    - His evangelical voters already traded 8 of the 10 Commandments for court seats. -- nm - crash davis Oct 2, 10:31

- how's the heat level compared to Fire sauce? -- nm - Max Oct 2, 10:25 2
  - I actually use it a fire sauce sub when I need to. the taste is very different bc it has no sodium, but the heat is about on par. -- nm - amanda 💃💃💃 Oct 2, 10:27
  - Wasn’t that changed to Diablo? -- nm - Qale Oct 2, 10:27
