- Watched it a year or two ago. Fonda is excellent in it. -- nm - MDH Jun 21, 10:49

- i saw on the thread about this on reddit that someone's company got food from a black-owned soul food restaurant that included fried chicken - colin Jun 21, 09:54 7
  - that fact alone, that it was KFC tells me this was planned by this VP. And I am sure he is still snickering about this to his other deplorable friends -- nm - Jovian Jun 21, 09:59 6
    - The “let’s eat all red food” thing was just a hilarious cover up attempt—watermelon, red kool-aid…just order the staff pizza and forget it -- nm - Trending Jun 21, 10:03 4
      - Right. But I believe the entire point was for this VP to proudly show his racism and his absolute disdain for this new Federal holiday. -- nm - Jovian Jun 21, 10:08 3
        
        I’m always blown away by the levels of generosity, but also levels of pettiness people have—people are so complicated and damaged -- nm - Trending Jun 21, 10:13 2

- Wow my GF's youngest is 14, and I'm pretty sure he's known for years. Partially from a-holes at school, but also I think the divorce tipped things - sycor Jun 21, 10:55
- Tell me how, after realizing Santa et al was a prank, people don't realize the rest of it, God n religion isn't just a bigger scam. -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 21, 10:14

- Omg, when I lived on Venice Beach LA, most dogs in the area would join in a group howl, mimicking the sound of fire, or police -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 21, 10:21
- I love dogs that do that! A newfie I walk does it and won't walk until it's passed us. When there's traffic it can be a while. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jun 21, 09:13 3

  - it's just one old person who has watched it almost a billion times. -- nm - colin Jun 21, 09:56 2
    - It's a joke, I know. But I just did the math. 18 seconds * 1.5 billion = 855 years. -- nm - Mop🧹 Jun 21, 10:35 1
      - With those wasted 855 hours, society could have... used them on some other useless bullshit. -- nm - Reagen Jun 21, 10:40

  - I’m enjoying the insane “why’d he get eliminated that quick? They buried him!” rants - Will Hunting Jun 21, 08:27 7
    - No one is going to remember he got eliminated. They're going to remember him and his promo -- nm - Remlik Jun 21, 08:33
    - Yup, the only televised entrances were Je’Von Evans, who won (and is only 20!) and Hendry, who also cut a promo. - Tim Jun 21, 08:32 5
      - It’s weird seeing TNA pretty okay with letting WWE poach these guys who are hallmarks of the company. - Will Hunting Jun 21, 08:35 3
        
        I like that Triple H is working with other companies, but it’s not going to end well for TNA. I’m actually surprised neither WWE or AEW has picked up Scott D’Amore. -- (edited) - Tim Jun 21, 08:57 2
        
        It's interesting because AEW has picked up other Anthem people who left afterward. -- nm - David Jun 21, 09:52
        
        The only thing I can imagine at this point is his firing was an hr issue which rules out WWE. - Will Hunting Jun 21, 09:00
      - TNA just moved locations to a larger venue for the montreal ppv -- nm - Remlik Jun 21, 08:34

  - There's a whole thing WON and Fightful chronicle about the troll army WWE employs. - David Jun 21, 07:51 2
    - I have limited doubt there’s a troll army for any tribal entity. AEW’s is called Dave Meltzer. - Will Hunting Jun 21, 08:01 1
      - Please. Meltzer and Alvarez have a cottage industry of complaining about AEW. That's the game with all this. - David Jun 21, 08:28
- No one ever said Shane talked to TK. -- nm - Remlik Jun 21, 07:43 1
  - Exactly. There's only one decision-maker at AEW. -- nm - David Jun 21, 07:45
FYI: I have a spoon ready to drink ty's tears. -- nm - David Jun 21, 07:32 8
- My poker guy is cancelling Monday’s event if it’s a game 3. So I hope 97 cries quickly. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 21, 07:37 2

    - with Amarillo Matt and James Ho? absolutely -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 21, 10:20 2
      - see also this guy -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jun 21, 10:21 1
        
        Maybe Trump needs to appoint qualified people instead of lackies -- nm - Trending Jun 21, 10:22
    - He’d get to appoint at least 2 unqualified ideologues in their 30s -- nm - Tim Jun 21, 09:22
    - Locks it in for another 30 years. -- nm - Reagen Jun 21, 08:56

    - I hid it from my YouTube feed. I just can't deal with watching anything about Trump. It's all nightmare fuel. I know what their plan is and it's - Krusty Jun 21, 08:35
- Roberts is going to regret not dealing with Thomas. Press is already seriously investigating and after this next Pres election… - Trending Jun 21, 07:46 3
  - THIS IS FINE! -- nm - 45+47 Jun 21, 08:27
  - Roberts authoring the opinion and framing it as consistent with Thomas’ own prior 2A opinion is him “dealing with Thomas” -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jun 21, 08:11 1
    - Yeah—I’m speaking more to not dealing with Thomas and his ethics violations…kinda like if MLB didn’t do anything to Pete Rose for betting on sports - Trending Jun 21, 08:38
- I’m actually surprised it was that lopsided. Alito is a wing nut as well. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 21, 07:29 2
  - I mean they still overturned the bump stock ban for no good reason -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 21, 08:08 1
    - But even Alito made it clear in that opinion that a law banning bumpstocks would be constitutional. -- nm - pmb Jun 21, 08:30
