lol Trump isn't having a jury trial in NYC because his bottom feeder lawyers forgot to check the box on the complaint form -- (link) - hollywood big shot Oct 2, 08:47 32
- lol it sucks to suck. Ironically though I bet Alina gives great helmet. So at least he has that out of her. -- nm* - Jovian Oct 2, 08:53 31
  - what a weird thing to say. -- nm - colin Oct 2, 08:54 30
    - It's his entire schtick. Take a woman near Trump's orbit, creatively call her a whore and feel better about himself. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 2, 08:59 28
      - I didn't call her a whore. My friend worked for him for over a decade. He *always* has a side piece. (as does Melania) -- nm - Jovian Oct 2, 09:00 27
        
        "I didn't call her a whore, I merely insinuated she gives great oral sex." - Will Hunting Oct 2, 09:05 25
        
        *nods* yep be the hero, defend these women who worship this man. - Jovian Oct 2, 09:09 24
        
        you can talk about the negative aspects of someone's character without slut shaming as well. - colin Oct 2, 09:20 8
        
        it is 1000% a reason to discredit that person - Jovian Oct 2, 09:23 7
        
        Spoiler - mara Oct 2, 09:25 6
        
        calm down - mud Oct 2, 09:28 4
        
        That seemed pretty calm to me. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 2, 09:31 3
        
        agreed, i see nothing wrong with what mara said. -- nm - colin Oct 2, 09:48
        
        kind of insulting though? -- nm - mud Oct 2, 09:32 1
        
        ... perhaps, but by two or three orders of magnitude less than the insult that started this thing off. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 2, 09:37
        
        oh well, Ill live. -- nm - Jovian Oct 2, 09:26
        
        maybe criticize them without bringing sex into the mix? -- nm - Reagen Oct 2, 09:15 14
        
        I hear you. But my ax to grind is solely for Alina. She is clearly his side piece. - Jovian Oct 2, 09:21 13
        
        as colin says, so fucking what? It's weird and misogynistic and none of your business. -- nm - Reagen Oct 2, 09:23 12
        
        it is my business when he is running for President of the US. Or have we reached the point where extramarital affairs are no biggie? -- nm - Jovian Oct 2, 09:25 11
        
        It's not about extramarital affairs or side pieces. It's about showing your whole ass about how you don't care about the feelings of your friends. - Beryllium Oct 2, 09:29 2
        
        In short: It causes emotional splash damage. So knock it off. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 2, 09:30 1
        
        sorry! I didnt realize the women that DJT surrounds himself were off limits here. Ill live it be. -- nm - Jovian Oct 2, 09:31
        
        it's wild that you're way harder on the women in these hypothetical situations than Trump. -- nm - Reagen Oct 2, 09:27 7
        
        oh yes yes, everyone knows I am soft on DJT. 'Its my entire thing.' -- nm - Jovian Oct 2, 09:28 6
        
        It is a really ugly look in these situations, and wildly unnecessary as there are a million reasons to criticize these people without diving into - Reagen Oct 2, 09:32 5
        
        look I get it. But I took issue with 'what a weird thing to say' right from jump -- (edited) - Jovian Oct 2, 09:36 4
        
        Jov, you said it: here is not the place. -- (edited) - i.b! Oct 2, 09:57
        
        my comment that it's a weird thing to say was me trying to be diplomatic. - colin Oct 2, 09:44
        
        with respect, I think this says more about your circle than this one. -- nm - Reagen Oct 2, 09:37 1
        
        oh clearly. I wish all of humanity as a collective was as well balanced and well meaning as ST. -- nm - Jovian Oct 2, 09:41
        
        but you're right. Clearly DJT that bastion of morality and ethics, only surrounds himself we good clean girls. -- (edited) - Jovian Oct 2, 09:03
    - if you or anyone doesn't understand that Habba is his side piece, you cray. -- nm - Jovian Oct 2, 08:57

So I'm watching the early games on Red Zone and cause Kirk Cousins is my FF QB, I look to the upper left of the triple box and scream: Nooooooooo -- (link) - JD Oct 2, 08:31 3
- Was he trying to intersect him on the 2? That wasn't an angle as much as "Please Jesus, let him fall down!" trot. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 2, 08:37 1
  - Pfft...He knew his speed (which wasn't a trot) and aimed accordingly. I wouldn't even have been in the picture unless there was at least a mile to - JD Oct 2, 08:48

    - You'll pick up tricks along the way - even though there's a wide variety of authors, there's a certain style to the way the clues are edited - prayformojo 🐵 Oct 2, 07:57 3
      - If a clue is phrased as a question, it’s generally a gag answer -- nm - Roger More Oct 2, 09:17
