Topic Wiki

Thread summary:

Trump walks in a room.

1. Moshe123 shoots at him because he is pure evil, 2. ilherman+hachover jump in front of the bullets because Trump is our savior. 3. aygart tackles Moshe123 because Trump is better than HRC, 4. but Baruch can't stand Trump so he tells aygart he's crazy and Trump is a madman. 5. ExGingi would like to point out that who cares what he is, all that matters is the supreme court nominations. 6. Dan and others aren't really sure how this makes them feel plus they don't really want to drink poison. 7. Spoiler alert: Moshe123's gun was empty, it was just a blank.

And Freddie is in the back of the room just cooking his cholent. Until he announces that there are TWO menu choices, Pareve Cholent or Vegetable Lasagna. While etech0 figured out that they are both poisoned.


Repeat x100.

And then Hilary walks into the room with the most confidence a candidate has had in recent history. She is so confident that she eats both the Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna. Everyone is the room is aghast, they don't know how this happened, could it be Comey is behind this poisoning or was it that her Obamacare premiums were to high to get her the help she needed.

Everyone stared as she choked and was cast into oblivion on November, 8, 2016 the last day she was heard from in the public eye.

Moshe123, ilherman, hachover, Baruch, ExGingi, Dan, Freddie, etech0, and the rest of America are in total shock and hope that so long as Trump doesn't eat any Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna and stays true to his supreme court nominees this may be the greatest thing to happen since the CSR and GC's.

But remember this may be the beginning of the end...

P.S. Thanks to cognitive dissonance aygart, Michael Moore, and Scott Adams knew the whole time that Trump could win, unfortunately for JTZ he may be off DDF for the next 4 years due to his mandatory 3 times daily consumption of CROW!

Nov 8 : Time to edit the wiki. Biggest upset in American History according to Michael Isikoff.

As things turns out, the most prescient view on this election was that of Michael Moore! Though Scott Adams is also claiming a high view level of prescience.

Who should I pick in my survivor league? I already used ATL, NE, and OAK. Im leaning towards ARZ but don't like picking divisional games.
Dallas?
Obvious pick would be Seattle.
Keep politics and football separately!

If that will help, sure. All joking aside wouldn't that be a site. Perception can do wonders for morale!!!

It would.  He should. 

Also, I just don't buy that the U.S. cannot figure out how to get trucks or off road vehicles, or whatever, there. Or to build bridges, etc.  We're the U.S.  If this was Miami, we'd have figured it out. 

My personal "theory" is that we're showing NK that they think they can threaten us by bombing Guam?  Please, the U.S. doesn't even care about Puerto Rico, let alone Guam.  Heck, you can bomb Japan also, we've done it ourselves a time or two.

Not only that, they also engineered the hurricane to hit PR.

Dallas will lose this week, Rams are the highest scoring team in football and teams have figured out how to play Prescott.
Yeah, Seattle's my other choice, they just dont play well in the beginning of the season. I'll probably end up going with them though.
i would stay away from Seattle they've been playing terrible.
chiefs might be a nice pick redskins are overrated don't see them winning in kc

Looks like the NFL finally realized what many of us here were saying, they are fighting a losing battle.
Earlier this week you couldn't read one article on nfl.com that didnt mention the protests, today you need @TimT search skills to find any mention of it.
I guess the local news didn't get the memo. All they are talking about is what the Bears will do for the NA tonight.

Of course, the media likes nothing less than to see (and promote) chaos. Why would they care if the nfls ratings continue to plummet.

fake news, they have "everything" they need, they just cant get it out of the port
(even) CBS is reporting that
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hurricane-maria-aftermath-puerto-rico-relief-supplies/
there maybe a long term reason for PR to have the Jones Act repealed but it has nothing to do with the Short Term recovery

With major pro-Trump sources like CNN
http://money.cnn.com/2017/09/20/media/nfl-tv-ratings-week-2/index.html

It is all over the media. The big question is if the 2 have to do with each other.

It seems you don't know what plummet means: fall or drop straight down at high speed

Yes. (i) fall, or (ii) drop straight down at high speed. 

So they are falling.

Or maybe it's (i) fall, or (ii) drop straight down, in each case, at high speed.

They really should have lawyers write this stuff. We don't draft ambiguities, except when on purpose.

It might also be: (i) fall, or (ii) drop, in each case, down at high speed.

So then it would not be plummeting.

So in 2/3 of readings it is plummeting, and in 1/3 not. So it is probably plummeting.
