  - Fox maybe...but I suspect he'll be all over OAN -- nm - Remlik Jan 8, 21:07 1
    - OAN and Newsmax are really losing out in this Twitter ban. Trump's tweets were their a big source of publicity. -- nm - mara Jan 9, 05:37

  - Well this explains a lot -- (pic) - budice Jan 8, 20:51 [Attachment] 4
    - It’s very bad form to copy other people’s memes and just post them as your own. It’s no trouble at all to copy a link or just retweet. - Mop Jan 8, 21:07 1
      - But -- (pic) - Beryllium Jan 8, 21:09 [Attachment]

    - They could have controlled him all along if they had just shown some spine. -- nm - David Jan 8, 20:47 2
      - Like pre-2016 election -- nm - budice Jan 8, 20:49 1
        
        Back when he was still projecting by calling Kristen Stewart a cheating slut. -- nm - David Jan 8, 20:51

- Yippe-ki-yay - Spawn Jan 8, 20:45
Mop, the beauty of Roy Rogers was the Fixin's Bar, which has the lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles and condiments which you put on yourself. - Tim Jan 8, 20:18 2
- Ah, I guess it’s more like Fudruckers than a fast food take-out place. -- nm - Mop Jan 8, 20:23 1
  - No, it was McDonald's/Burger King -- nm - ty97 Jan 8, 20:30
[an error occurred while processing this directive means I have had way too much caffeine today and need to cut back starting tomorrow.] -- nm - Qale Jan 8, 20:16
This one got a spit take out of me. Alice In Chains harmonies plus stylophone equals more insane robot action. -- (link) - con_carne Jan 8, 20:15 [youtube]
