All he needs is the Diet Coke button.

Are you kidding me? Holy ****, Farrow is the GOAT.

Trump calling Eric the R word is hilarious to me.

The source for that story appears to be Tom Arnold, so, uh, I'm taking it with a grain of salt, no matter how much of an "it's happening" gif started playing in my head when I read the headline.

Jesus look at these people. There isn't a single member of "The President’s National Council for the American Worker" who has ever worked a real job any day of their lives.

I’m assuming RS wouldn’t report a bombshell like this without getting independent verification, esp. since Arnold is such a doofus, but who knows the way journalism is clickbait bull**** nowadays.

Plus, I’m imagining Ronan Farrow sneaking into Burnett’s secret vault through a vent in the ceiling like in Mission Impossible and that puts me in my happy place.

Obama kept his desk pretty clean, too. The Oval Office is mostly for photo ops, Trump does his tweeting from other rooms in the White House. And even if they did it was 50+ years ago.

If anyone can figure out how to get the tapes, it's Farrow.

The ****ing tease is so indicative of modern society though. I thought trump treating the presidency like a reality show was a bad thing? If you have them, release them. This is real life we're dealing with here.

Releasing them now would sure offer a lot of distraction for the Kavanaugh news cycle. Makes you wonder how it leaked right now.

Nobody doubts he said it. Nobody. What will the damage be? It's not as if its right before the election and the recording is of him admitting to sexually assaulting women by grabbing them by the pussy or anything.

Farrow a lock for a pulitzer.

Other outlets are more cautious, framing this as “...according to Arnold,” so it could be BS.

On the bright side, if Tom Arnold is lying about the tapes, we can all have a good lol at his clowny antics.

Wouldn't Farrow vet the tapes though? He's thorough. That probably takes time.

Eh, just about every picture of the Resolute desk with Obama has paperwork on it. Not much paperwork, but something.

I'm saying 125 is a very high estimate for the average IQ of this forum. What some people don't seem to realize is because IQ scores are based on a normal curve the difference between 125 and 135 is bigger than 115 and 125 in terms of what they can do. A 125 will allow you to graduate from a grad program with some hard work. A 135 will graduate without really trying.

A pretty well-known phenomenon is once you get to about 125, there are a lot of people who are considered geniuses in their field but don't do well in a general IQ test due to some kind of (relative) disability that prevents them from scoring very high on IQ tests.

I am willing to bet poker and trading (both of which I have personal experience with) have a lot of people who'd score only 125 (~top 5%) or 135 (~top 1%) on a general IQ test but if you measure them only on comprehension and raw computational ability they'd be 145+ (~top 0.1%). I suspect some other fields (MD/JD for example) also have people in the 125 overall range with lopsided scores that's low in numeric reasoning but high in reading comprehension and abstract reasoning.

I remember being able to instantly do the spatial relations and stuff like reversing a number in your head. But then getting hung up on the word problems like two trains coming at each other.

I've got a real big penis. I'm also very tall. Dumb as a box of rocks, but you can't have everything.

Trying to suppress my worst thoughts.

I will just say timing is everything.

Lol, come on, the reporting is that Tom Arnold said he gave the tapes to Ronan Farrow before getting into a bar fight. Puhhlleeease.

how hard would it be to write a script that mass reserves tickets to these events? probably not very, right? it has some crappy click-me captcha and a phone confirmation.

That’s definitely a crime. Don’t do it.
