I would rather see an older character and not someone who will just slot in with the Dingles, but I like Faith well enough. Sally Dexter is an excellent actress. I had a feeling it would be her once I read the statements from the producers, which were not really that hyperbolic. Some of the press made the return seem bigger than they did.

The talking points and pro-GOP tilt are already well in gear.

How sad to see Ricky Skaggs' name on there.

Didn't see this posted in here. (she is denying the claims) What did you all think of her in her seasons?

I guess one of the main questions will end up being how much effort can be made to fight the upcoming gerrymandering.

They made significant gains in the House, so that's what concerns me most for the effectiveness of this type of messaging, but I hope you are right.

That's awful. I'm lucky that the family I'm closest to all hate Trump - those who worship him are at arm's length. It is just pure brain poison that leaves a lasting mark. I feel like the 'fear' of these members of Congress is just the latest variation of what we have heard about the GOP for decades now - well, so and so doesn't REALLY feel this way. The problem is what does that matter? They aren't changing anything. They aren't helping. They are just continuing to stay quiet as their party moves further and further toward extremes. These people are, indeed, cowards, and they have been for a long time. They thought they could use and discard Trump and profit from it. They didn't bargain on him hooking up with so many lunatics, and helping them to stock up the member body as well. I saw a tweet that said Republicans elected the hijackers to serve as muscle against the others in the party. And that is absolutely right. That's why no matter how much the media cries for Mitt, or Liz Cheney, or a random governor, the only solution is to keep these monsters out of power as much as possible.

I agree with you (and @Vee) and know they have addressed this, but sadly we are in the minority compared to a lot of the public and the press.

McConnell knows if he leaves this in the laps of Biden and Schumer, he will delay the stimulus and other important projects, and be able to run - with the media backing him up all the way - on Democrats caring more about "divisiveness" than wanting to help people. It is disgusting, yet many people lap this stuff up. The Democrats have to be the ones to do the dirty work every time.

Wrong thread. Sorry. Heartbreaking news about Robyn Millan, and her last years. Thank you for finding this @jam6242. I'm glad Danny Hill's audio recordings of her are still available as they really changed my opinion of her work after just seeing her on Ryan's Hope.

Republicans are still hemming and hawing, waiting, and enabling. What a shock.

In some amusing news from earlier today, former media darling Elise Stefanik got turfed from Harvard for being a seditionist. After watching the far more appealing lady Gremlin from Gremlins 2 and desperately trying to bite her palette, Stefanik went on Hannity to whine and whine and whine at the realization her career outside of the clown car is over.

She was married to Jonathan Penner and appeared on Survivor for the family visit episode.

A close friend of my mother (they don't live close to each other now) told her earlier that they contracted COVID. They now have to worry about their loved ones, not to mention their own history of health problems, and on top of that has a parent they now can't care for. This just goes on and on, and keeps impacting more and more people, with no end in sight. (sorry, I know the writing is a mess...)

Boebert tweeted out Pelosi's location to the terrorists. She should be expelled.

I can't tell you how much I despise this man. I'm glad he burned all of his bridges with Biden during the campaign. He's now stuck shoving his melting pig face on the morning shows for 2 years at least, watching the world go by.

They are taught not to have empathy, yet to expect everyone else to have empathy for them. These people have been coddled to no end even as they go on and on about "[!@#$%^&*] your feelings." They should be rooted out of any levers of power or influence wherever possible.
