- My only advice: stay the fuck out of it. Agree with whatever your partner says, listen when she talks, and be as neutral as possible. - David Jan 4, 13:39 7
  - yes this sounds like a good plan. I really don't understand anyone who has a party at this point in time. -- nm - Pippy Jan 4, 13:42 1

- nice -- nm - mud Jan 4, 12:53
mud from B2: Seth is a left wing grifter using his Twitter for sales and clicks. He's basically a joke in the serious journalism world. -- nm - MDH Jan 4, 12:30 5
- Wait, are authors not meant to use Twitter for sales and clicks? - ❄TWuG 🚀 Jan 4, 12:36 4
  - Oh agreed on the promotion, but when nothing he says makes sense (shrug). How many times in the past 4 years did he say "this is it!" -- nm - MDH Jan 4, 12:40 3
    - If the PTB were interested in consequences for Trump's actions, a fair amount of "this is it" would have been "it". -- nm - ❄TWuG 🚀 Jan 4, 12:46 1
      - well, sure. But if your insider tips never happen, then maybe you're not an insider? -- nm - Reagen Jan 4, 12:57
    - it all makes sense to me (shrug) and I don't how many times he's done the latter. He's excitable, I'll grant. -- nm - mud Jan 4, 12:45
From B2 re: Dano: I got the Peloton end of September, and since then have missed 2 days. Having the data tracking is super motivating. - MDH Jan 4, 12:28 10
- Does he call you all "Peletons" like in the commercial? - Spawn Jan 4, 13:19

Jared and Ivanka could escape to Israel, afaik they don't extradite -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 4, 12:26 5
- I don't think they run. I think they (a) believe they are above the law, (b) believe their supporters will essentially protect them and (c) can't - pmb Jan 4, 13:11
- IMO the whole Trump family will never be safe in another country. they're too politically hot not to extradite if that country wants to be our friends -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 4, 13:02
- Remember when Hillary had to flee the country to avoid prosecution? Oh, right. That didn't happen, because she wasn't a criminal. -- nm - Mop Jan 4, 12:55 1
  - you don't have to be guilty, they just have to get 12 citizens to swallow whatever story they want to tell -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 4, 13:38
- I'd be okay with that. It would be fleeing prosecution and their assets could be seized/frozen. -- nm - ❄TWuG 🚀 Jan 4, 12:28

  - I'm waiting for Scotland to declare itself its own country and then I'll apply. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jan 4, 12:46 4
    - anybody with a UK passport will be auto-in if that happens.. if you can, do it now - colin Jan 4, 13:47 1
      - I don't. I think my mom would, as her grandfather was Scots. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jan 4, 13:50
    - I'd wait to see what global warming does to the path of the Gulf Stream, because Scotland could become a frozen hellscape - ❄TWuG 🚀 Jan 4, 12:49 1
      - Frozen hellscape sounds nice. - Dark Callisto Jan 4, 13:02
  - For most countries, really. -- nm - Reagen Jan 4, 12:32 8
    - except Italy. Canada. Australia. who else won't let the riff raff just join up? -- nm - Pippy Jan 4, 12:35 4

    - Well, this *is* Pippy, so maybe not. -- nm - 2021 Jan 4, 12:33 2
      - you have a valid point. -- nm - Pippy Jan 4, 12:35 1
        
        I mean, if you stopped fomenting revolution everywhere you travel.... -- nm - ❄TWuG 🚀 Jan 4, 12:37
