  - The problem is it sounds like Biden is trying to get out of it, or it could be spun that way. -- nm - ty97 Oct 6, 17:02 1
    - Trump needs the debate more than Biden right now - eag Oct 6, 17:07

Thinking about all this new polling data, the thing that's making laugh is that you know Trump is legit stunned by this. He's saying "but everyone - pmb Oct 6, 16:35 15
- I'm worried, he's already crazy, between the drugs and the polls, who knows what he will do? -- nm - jnine Oct 6, 16:39 12
  - I expect that even his inner circle is isolating him and not letting him press any buttons. -- nm - 🧹 Broom 🧹 Oct 6, 17:13
  - I feel like that every . . . single . . . day. -- nm - pmb Oct 6, 16:53 1
    - We're going to be okay. -- nm - crash davis Oct 6, 16:55
  - He won't do anything crazy to a foreign nation, he'll just abuse Americans. -- nm - crash davis Oct 6, 16:43 4
    - That's what I'm afraid of. He hates CA and our governor got into it with him, again, within the last few days. -- nm - jnine Oct 6, 16:58 3
      - but really, what can he do to California that he hasn't already done? -- nm - crash davis Oct 6, 17:00 2

    - I think California would be first. -- nm - jnine Oct 6, 16:41
    - yeah no fucking shit -- nm - Canada Oct 6, 16:41
- I didn't quite buy the idea of Trump thinking everyone is like him as far as motives go until I read the quote from Arlington. Now I buy it. -- nm - crash davis Oct 6, 16:38
- Yep. His tweet about the PA polls over an hour speaks volumes. - Jovian Oct 6, 16:37
Really, Oakland? C'mon...somebody beat the Astros -- nm - JD Oct 6, 16:33 3
- I'm so pissed they get to play at Dodger Stadium and they are trash talking to the media. The A's at least have our clubhouse. And, I think they - jnine Oct 6, 16:38 1
  - If they did that, then a pox on both the A's and Astro's houses. Not a literal pox, a figurative pox. -- nm - crash davis Oct 6, 16:49
- They are going to make me cheer for the Yankees if they and Tampa Bay fail. But it is okay, I made my peace with it earlier today -- nm - crash davis Oct 6, 16:34
Miller has it. I have to say I'm happy about this one. How did he not get it when his wife had it? He's like he felt left out and had to get it. -- (link*) - jnine Oct 6, 16:30 3
- The... uh... ironic (?) thing Trump returning to the WH before he's cure is that he can continue spreading it to his gang of cronies. -- nm - 🧹 Broom 🧹 Oct 6, 17:10
- Omg...it's jumping species -- nm - FB Oct 6, 16:38
- he is a literal Nazi. F him. -- nm - Jovian Oct 6, 16:33

Why normal Presidents of both parties avoided balcony shots -- (link) - crash davis Oct 6, 16:15 [youtube] 13
- Didn’t the balcony get added in the late 40’s? - Will Hunting 🧠’s Oct 6, 16:38 3

  - hah, you used the word better in connection with him -- nm - crash davis Oct 6, 16:23
- I mean maybe that's why they did, but really, please. -- nm - ty97 Oct 6, 16:18 6
  - If you don't believe me about avoiding balcony shots, you could ask Patti Lupone. Then you'll find out I'm right. Because you'll believe her - crash davis Oct 6, 16:20 5
    - I believe you, I just....think it's silly? -- nm - ty97 Oct 6, 16:27 1
      - silly that I... - crash davis Oct 6, 16:31
    - Or Madonna -- (link) - eag Oct 6, 16:26 [youtube] 2

The phrase "I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire" comes to mind as being apropos for this particular administration. - Graveman ⚰️💀 Oct 6, 16:14 3
- I'll make a pilgrimage to Trump's grave to piss on him -- nm - TWuG Oct 6, 16:18 2
  - he's going to have to be buried above ground due to drainage issues -- nm - Graveman ⚰️💀 Oct 6, 16:20 1

- re: today's Nobel Prize in Physics -- (link) - crash davis Oct 6, 16:07 [Backboard]
- Should have worn that turtle costume -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 6, 16:05 1
  - I've learned for next year. I hope I choose the right one. Do I go sea turtle, box turtle, Michaelangelo? -- nm - Krusty The Anarchist Oct 6, 16:10
- There's always the MacArthur Park Fellowship - Reagen Oct 6, 16:04 8
  - but you have to admit that you're dumb enough to lose the recipe -- nm - crash davis Oct 6, 16:09
  - Your references are all over the place! - Krusty The Anarchist Oct 6, 16:08 5
    - Donna Summer? Dude. -- nm - jnine Oct 6, 16:33 4
      - She's the one who sang the song, no? -- nm - Krusty The Anarchist Oct 6, 16:47 3
        
        It was a huge hit in the 60s, and then covered by everyone in history, including William Shatner. His version really needs to be heard to be believed. -- nm - jnine Oct 6, 17:01 1
        
        TIL. I had only heard the Donna Summer disco version. I just heard some others but not Shatner. I'm not sure I'm ready for that. -- nm - Krusty The Anarchist Oct 6, 17:05
        
        I see she was not the first to sing it. I had no idea. -- nm - Krusty The Anarchist Oct 6, 16:48
  - I don’t think that I can take it. -- nm - Dano Oct 6, 16:08
Have you seen the dog ad? -- (link) - marum scarum Oct 6, 15:58 3
- I always say this, where is his dog? I'm glad for dogs everywhere he doesn't have one, but you'd think he do it just for optics. -- nm - jnine Oct 6, 16:35 1
  - If he had a dog, any dog, it would bite him. -- nm - Qale Oct 6, 16:53
- It's so dumb and so perfect. -- nm - Graveman ⚰️💀 Oct 6, 16:05

Idea: The Senate Democratic Leadership should offer a compromise to Sen. Mitch McConnell: If the R's agree to delay Barrett's confirmation votes ... - aRCynic (and Old Lace) Oct 6, 15:56 7
- Any chance he loses his seat ? All the demo begging emails suggested he's vulnerable -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 6, 16:27 2
  - He's comfortably ahead of McGrath. She seems like a DINO, so seeing McConnell in the minority will have to do. -- nm - TWuG Oct 6, 16:34
  - So very very very unlikely -- nm - ty97 Oct 6, 16:32
- "Vote on punching ourselves in the dick? Oh sorry, 51-49 no" -- nm - Reagen Oct 6, 16:01
- Sure - ty97 Oct 6, 15:59 2
  - hah! -- nm - znufrii needs to update his handle Oct 6, 16:03
  - IM: sweet -- nm - mud Oct 6, 16:00
Ballots arrived today. Really going to have to start doing my homework and see which way I’m leaning here. -- nm - Volnelk Oct 6, 15:53 1
- I'm really happy about early voting. I've got ours turned in and no one Trish voted for will win in this state, except the County Water Board -- nm - crash davis Oct 6, 16:18
and Stephen Miller too !!! heeeeeee -- (link) - mud Oct 6, 15:53 8
- I guess those superior white person genes have failed him, huh. -- nm - Qale Oct 6, 16:54
- There is a God! -- nm - TWuG Oct 6, 15:58 2
  - I've been atheist all my adult life, this past week I dunno man .. -- nm - mud Oct 6, 15:59 1
    - I mean, it's obviously just completely foreseeable consequences, but the timing is *chef's kiss* -- nm - TWuG Oct 6, 16:11
- I thought the science was uncertain on human to troglodyte transmission. -- nm - crash davis Oct 6, 15:57
- He'll be fine, I'm sure it has very little effect on the undead. -- nm - marum scarum Oct 6, 15:57
- hey beaverton, is that champagne ready? -- nm - Graveman ⚰️💀 Oct 6, 15:55
- I'm pretty sure they mean rabies. -- nm - pmb Oct 6, 15:53
My ballot arrived in today's mail. Guess I should study up on some of the propositions. One of the big ones here is whether gig workers should be - 👻MonsterMeg💀 Oct 6, 15:52 9
- Is that Prop 22? Find out which side the corporations (uber, lyft, etc) support, and vote the opposite of that. - Graveman ⚰️💀 Oct 6, 16:16 1
  - Unless you want to be able call a car in California... -- nm - Ender Oct 6, 17:01
- I would vote for them to be employees. I don't know how they get benefits or unemployment protection otherwise. -- nm - Krusty The Anarchist Oct 6, 16:06 3
  - They don't want to be employees, so I'm voting to let them have what they want. -- nm - jnine Oct 6, 16:44
  - Exactly, but they want the right to chose their own hours, which employees can't do. -- nm - 👻MonsterMeg💀 Oct 6, 16:08 1
    - I still vote to make them employees. The gig economy has next to no protections for the workers. -- nm - Krusty The Anarchist Oct 6, 16:16
- I don't know if they have changed anything about it since this -- (link) - ty97 Oct 6, 15:55 2
  - for reasons I can't explain, this law was all over my twitter feed when it passed last year -- nm - ty97 Oct 6, 15:56 1
    - Right, that's the current law. But this gives the employer the right to dictate hours worked, among other things. The workers are doing this - 👻MonsterMeg💀 Oct 6, 16:06
Reuters: idiot St. Louis couple indicted for brandishing guns at protesters -- (link) - mud Oct 6, 15:48
Honestly the only way I see that kind of demo split happening is because a bunch of his supporters stay home - Reagen Oct 6, 15:31 5
- The demo splits could be somewhat accurate and still not apply equally to Indiana and, say, California. -- nm - marum scarum Oct 6, 15:43
- They deserve it for supporting him all these years -- nm - ty97 Oct 6, 15:42 1
  - (the down ballot folks I mean) -- nm - ty97 Oct 6, 15:42
- I’d be okay with that. -- nm - znoooooooo!!! Oct 6, 15:35

Dear White House, To me "partial isolation" seems as medically useful a term as "partial pregnancy" -- nm - crash davis Oct 6, 15:12 3
- This is how you end up with left handed people. The pregnancy is limited to the left side of the uterus. The egg came from the left Fallopian tube... - Qale Oct 6, 16:56
- did they just turn off fox news or something? I mean, taking away his access to twitter would count as "partial isolation" for Prez Trump. -- nm - tRu🦇aN Oct 6, 15:23
- Pretty much. -- nm - 👽Scully👽 Oct 6, 15:20
Refi: rate locked. -- nm - znoooooooo!!! Oct 6, 15:10

I feel like I should do something productive with my days off. I think I'll write the script for the movie The Battle of Legwarmer Hill -- nm - 🧛 pfm in a foodchem mask 💀 Oct 6, 14:56 4
- oooh, a cut scene of the troops adding those huge shoulder pads to their jackets would heighten drama -- nm - crash davis Oct 6, 14:59 3
  - I haven't even started the script, and already you have notes? -- nm - 🧛 pfm in a foodchem mask 💀 Oct 6, 15:00 2
    - I have binder with a Patrick Nagel cover full of notes -- nm - crash davis Oct 6, 15:11
    - once you tell him the date of the battle I'm sure he has a lot more notes waiting, no matter what the year. -- nm - PumpkinheadPete Oct 6, 15:09
Bud - you have 15 in the corner already, take 30 more for saying Hagar made it popular, and then add an hour for referencing David S. Pumpkins - crash davis Oct 6, 14:55 1

- cue unprecidented 'roid rage and he fires everybody and installs his chiropractor and some homeopathologist he found on a youtube video to run it -- nm - ⏲👻 Oct 6, 15:39
- It is amazing how Trump is on the wrong side of all the issues. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Oct 6, 15:15 1
  - At this point it is literally his brand. -- nm - pmb Oct 6, 15:20
- HAAAAA!! Suck it Trump! -- nm - Pippy's Brew Oct 6, 15:10
