A Perfectly Reasonable Amount of Schadenfreude about Things Happening to Trump & His Enablers (Part 1)

Perfect application for a pivot table.

I have no idea how to use a pivot table. Or what a pivot table is. If I get data in a pivot table, I copy and paste-as-text into a new spreadsheet.

Third Base!

Jeffrey Epstein said in an unaired interview that he distanced himself from former President Donald Trump after realizing Trump was “a crook,” according to his brother, Mark Epstein.

Mark Epstein told Insider he viewed a clip of the interview, conducted by Trump’s former White House advisor Steve Bannon, after his brother forwarded it to him in the spring of 2019.

It’s pretty bad when a paedophile doesn’t want to know you because you’re dirty.

Is Excel the new thumb tacks and string?

What do conspiracy theorists and Excel have in common?

They spreadsheet.

I am not sure it would have worked:

The maximum size of an excel spreadsheet is 65,536 rows in older versions and 1,048,576 rows in newer updated versions. According to Microsoft, the total number of columns allowed per Excel worksheet is 16,384.

Repeating for emphasis since I was going to post the same link. The guy who owned Pedophile Island thought Trump was too much of crook to hang around with.

My daddy always taught to only ever commit one crime at a time.

This should start halfway through. A breakdown of some of the crimes.

This is a request to those who link to YouTube videos. There is a wide variety of sources of YouTube videos about current events, some of them from established news organizations and some from people who emerged from the blogosphere with their own videos. These are not always of equal value. So here is my request, for what it is worth: could you include a line saying where the video originates from? Either the organization or the name of the host would be splendid. Thanks for your consideration.

That is a mighty fine idea! Could you send that suggestion to one of the mods? Perhaps it will end up as a board rule.

Seems unnecessary to me. Doesn’t take more than a few seconds to open a YouTube link and see its source for yourself; I don’t think I have yet seen a YouTube link posted in a SDMB thread that I considered to be from an unreliable source.

Relevant It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia clip (Pepe Silvia).

Doesn’t take more than a few seconds to type one line about where it’s from. And then you save the few seconds for every reader who might be interested in some sources but not others.

What you consider to be an unreliable (or uninteresting) source might be different from other people.

I flagged my post to ask mods if it would be useful to start an ATMB thread about it.

I’d say that if I’m required to source every YouTube video I post (which most of the time is just something silly or a clip from a show or movie) then I just won’t post them. Fuck that tedious and unnecessary bullshit. If it bothers you that much, you look it up. This is a poorly thought-out request.

This sounds ruder than I intend it to be, but I would die a happy man if I never saw another youtube video in my life.
I won’t say I never click on them, but it’s less than 1 out of 10 times.
Maybe it’s a generational thing, but if someone has something to say about the various Trump legal issues, for example, I’d prefer they write it down so we can all read it at our own pace.

Posting summaries of links is polite, sure, but there’s no reason to make it a rule (except perhaps in GD and FQ).
