  1. That was enjoyable to listen to. Discussions on secret service arrangements. Makes sense because they have to be with him at all times. Obviously he won’t sit in a cell but even a mugshot and knowing he was fingerprinted is almost as good as anything else.
  2. At the very least you can ask the panel of GOP candidates in Iowa if Putin is a war criminal. Get them on record.
  3. I think you'd like the book. Now that you are retired I say give it a try. It's long. He goes back a number of years earlier than in the series so there's a lot of things to work out, and he made more than one trip. If you like time travel it's a no brainer. It was the first King book I ever read.
  4. absolutely in fact King addresses that explicitly both in the book's story, in a round about way, and in an essay. Talks about the butterfly effect and so many things had to go right with regard to a conspiracy and as you can see with his examples something as simple as a traffic light can change history.
  5. What did you think about 11.22.63? I loved the book so much I have read it 3 times. Obviously as is the case with these things the series wasn't as good but it was fine as is. In fact I might read the book again. Anyone else read books more than once?
  6. Glad you liked the queens gambit. Yes the clothes. I figured guy could relate being of that era or maybe a little after.
  7. How soon before there's an Ivermectin Essential oil? Is there one already? I'm afraid to ask.
  8. That's probably it but I also wouldn't put it past her to be dumb enough to think there's normal people who don't think they are bad.
  9. Mandel is probably one of those women who thinks the man runs the house and she submits to him entirely and would chop her own arm off if he asked her to.
  10. Way to go out on a limb declaring cartels criminals. Who is she arguing against?
  11. She’s a crazy person. The kind you find protesting libraries for having gay books. A very narrow view of how the world should be. Just not a good person. A polished up Charlie Kirk who doesn’t look like a product of inbreeding.
  12. I told someone last night it painful to watch. Like the scene in swingers with the answering machine.
  13. The one in taylor is still open I mean... if we are going after liquor licenses for "sexualized environments" around kids..... Hooters is big in Florida.
  14. Should kids be allowed at Hooters?
  15. To this day I get Jennifer Jason Leigh and Ally Sheedy mixed up. I always have to think for a half second which is which.
  16. speculation is the critic will be based on Pauline Kael. I'm looking forward to it. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood really grew on me. Oddly enough I watched Pulp Fiction last night on Prime. I was doing some work and wanted something I didn't have to pay that much attention to. I never thought about the fact that the night Vincent takes Mia out is the same night as the boxing match. Maybe Marcellus took his girlfriend to the fight so he needed Mia to be occupied. That turned out to be a bad time for Marcellus. His guy Jules left the organization, he got double crossed in a fixed fight, his wife overdoses, he gets beaten up and raped by rednecks, in addition to getting run over by Butch, Vincent gets killed by Butch. If Marcellus ever found out what happened to Mia? Same end result? The whole movie hinges on two things. The guy in the bathroom when they go to pick up the case, and Butch's girlfriend forgetting his watch. If they knew about the guy in the bathroom, there's no epiphany for Jules. No epiphany means no discussion in the car where Vincent turns around and shoots Marvin. No need to see Jimmy or The Wolf. Jules stays in the org. Perhaps they have breakfast at Hawthorne diner earlier and no encounter with Ringo and Honey Boney. If Butch didn't go back to get his watch no encounter with Marcellus leading to the redneck rape. In that scenario Jules and Vincent go looking for Butch around the country. That would be a good movie.
  17. We're at 80+ years since the memories of WWII. That's halfway to the Civil War and 1/3 the way to the Revolutionary War.
  18. Speaking of that song….
  19. I saw one for Sad but true.
  20. Why haven’t I seen anything like this until now? It’s basically Jenga.
  21. Why did the libertarian cross the road? to cash his disability check.
  22. Wasn’t sure where to put this but I think this is the best due to the audience.
  23. Trump. They'll justify it as "Biden's fine and harmless I guess but he's too old and President KAMALA is just too dangerous to think about so I have to vote for Trump". They think that gives them the cover they need to renege on their promise.
