        Yeah, the GOP won the state houses in most swing areas. The re-districting is going to benefit them. - Will Hunting Jan 3, 15:50 3
        
        but I'm confused who gets primaried (more) in your scenario - the trumpets or the sane -- nm - mud Jan 3, 15:54 2

  - I'm praying that the 6 hours is a lie. Also, he is not a tenth as smart as he thinks he is. - loosilu Jan 3, 14:07 12
    - This is the best summary of that craptastically viral tweet I've read yet. And he's probably an engineer, too. - ReluctantCynic Jan 3, 14:23 10
      - this is an asshole thing, not an engineer thing. Engineers can't *resist* explaining how things work in excruciating detail -- (edited) - Reagen Jan 3, 14:34 3
        
        I'm not saying every engineer is an asshole, but the combination of both in one package is truly something. - ReluctantCynic Jan 3, 14:44 2
        
        Agricultural Engineer is a lot of education to be able to fix a combine - Reagen Jan 3, 14:52
        
        Oh boy. That must lead to some fun dinner discourse. - Beryllium Jan 3, 14:48
      - Honestly I think it's more likely he took a few engineering classes 26 years ago and that makes him a fucking expert. -- nm - loosilu Jan 3, 14:29
      - ah, funny thing about that. Apparently he was a member of the band Harvey Danger. But I have not found out anything about his education. - loosilu Jan 3, 14:28 4
        
        Flag pole sitta? Ugh. I’m more disappointed in him now -- nm - Pippy Jan 3, 14:30 1
        
        No disliking of that song is allowed, since it was Peepshow's theme -- nm - con_carne Jan 3, 16:29
        
        (Touring member, had nothing to do with their albums) -- nm - Reagen Jan 3, 14:30 1
        
        Gracias...so he’s pretentious -- nm - Pippy Jan 3, 14:30
    - Agreed to all -- nm - Pippy Jan 3, 14:19
- I read that earlier. No one comments on the fact that he's busy because he's doing a puzzle. It's one thing if he's working or in the middle of - jnine Jan 3, 13:59 3
  - Plenty of comments in the replies on that. And he doubled down in his subsequent tweets. I'm guessing weekend custody? -- nm - loosilu Jan 3, 14:03
  - This is the correct answer. Six hours is ludicrous. -- nm - amanda jeans Jan 3, 14:02 1
    - I'm with everyone who calls it abuse. That is a power struggle and it fucking sucks. Congrats on beating your 9 year old child, you asshole. - loosilu Jan 3, 14:04
- *looks up a YouTube video* -- nm - Mop Jan 3, 13:44 1
  - In replies he claims his daughter doesn't know how to look up YT videos. -- nm - loosilu Jan 3, 13:50
- Yeah, that's not a good dad or a valid method of teaching. That he's dug in to defend himself instead of rethink his actions seals it. -- nm - TWuG Jan 3, 13:43 5
  - exploration learning is a thing but there's levels to it - Reagen Jan 3, 14:03 3
    - And he's so proud of himself. -- nm - loosilu Jan 3, 14:04 2
      - Yeah you can tell he is -- nm - Pippy - Jan 3, 14:05 1
        
        Oh, it'll come back all right. When she tells it to her therapists. -- (link) - loosilu Jan 3, 14:08
  - I don't need to have kids to know he's an asshole as well as a shitty teacher. -- nm* - loosilu Jan 3, 13:49

  - The Rookie is going to have to pull one hell of a rabbit out to make it watchable once more. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 3, 14:21
  - The Watch is an adaptation of Terry Pratchett’s massively best-selling Discworld novels, on which it’s (very) loosely based -- nm - Beaker Jan 3, 13:22 2

Go Bears!!!!! -- nm - zunkskunk+ Jan 3, 13:21 2
- Da Bears -- nm - budice Jan 3, 13:21 1
  - I understand regional fandom, but I hate being limited to the Seahawks versus the 49ers when 85% of the country gets the better game with Da Bears. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 3, 14:22
Daniel Jones isn’t a QB you can count on. DC at least excised their mistake this week. - Will Hunting Jan 3, 13:19 5
- PFF has him at 77 for the year, which means he's an above average starter. -- nm - David Jan 3, 13:34 4
  - Reality has him at 6-10 in the worst division in history and a propensity to turn the ball over in the worst ways possible. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 3, 13:42 3
    - Reality has him graded as an above average starter in only his second year in the league. -- nm - David Jan 3, 13:56
    - obviously I was already rooting for the iggles tonight but now I'm really really really rooting for'em! -- nm - mud Jan 3, 13:46 1
      - So am I! Dan Snyder deserves nothing more than failure. - Will Hunting Jan 3, 13:59
10-loss playoff team remains a possibility -- nm - budice Jan 3, 13:18 1
- Giggity. -- nm - Hibernating Baron Jan 3, 14:32
Paul Ryan, fwiw: -- (link) - Reagen Jan 3, 13:16 6
- Looks like he and Romney are angling for the Not Trump vote in 2024. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 3, 14:51
- If he was in office, he'd be objecting with the rest, he's always been a coward. -- nm - jnine Jan 3, 14:00 1
  - it's at least the correct message. -- nm - Reagen Jan 3, 14:08
- fuck him. -- nm - Remlik Jan 3, 13:50
