Big mixed feelings on this. I don't really trust anyone from the Lincoln Project, nor do I think that Democrats necessarily need to keep waiting and waiting for Feinstein to make a decision, but I have never trusted Katie Porter since she endorsed the corrupt grifter, and I do think it's a lousy ad (I also thought the book stunt last week was embarrassing).

ETA: I guess I like Katie Porter more than DF at this point. Thank you for explaining who Nina Turner is Carl.

People are leaving left and right. 

I feel that way too.

I feel bad for Lisa Marie's family. They've suffered a lot of loss as did she.

I wonder if this is true. The part about the American far right being involved?

This is BEYOND pathetic at this point.

Enjoy two years of dysfunction, chaos, and NOTHING getting done, America!

It really is insane. What's really disturbing to me is the reminder of how many people in our country are actually bat$hit crazy. I don't just mean Republicans. I mean the 30% of people that we meet in our lives who may be in positions of power while being absolute MTG type nutters. Lord have mercy.

In other news, the ads on this site are completely out of control.

What's scary is that the Republicans who oppose McCarthy say he's not conservative enough.

I agree. It's terrifying.

I love watching these idiots in disarray, but it's not good for the country overall when nothing can get done.

I mean how are you going to get me to sue about mesothelioma if I risk my husband leaving me for some puritanical gal when I win compensation?

Aww...the Christmas Eve Eve episode that aired today was so bittersweet.  Loved all the old characters interacting.

I hope Britt ends up getting a miracle and (more importantly) that beautiful actress stays on GH. 

Ellie & Griffin Munro dating was a nice surprise.  I hope that means they'll both be back in Port Charles soon.

I think the best we can hope for that they don't kill her off and she comes back someday.

When Tyler Christopher was fired in 1996, it was a shock too and never explained....

I wonder if TC is coming back or if they are writing the character off again? It seems like this is a really bad time for that story wise.

Damn it. I'm really going to miss her.

I hope they can get this done. Maybe try to get it just for toddlers, so poor parents can afford diapers at least.

Unlike the announcement of the episodes being released of Harry and Meghan’s Netflix docuseries, this is genuinely Breaking News: In a one for one prisoner swap, Brittney Griner is being released in exchange for Russian arms dealer  Viktor Bout.

Thank God. I suppose this is a case where Russia "won". We gave them the "Merchant of Death" for an innocent, but so be it. This woman did not deserve to be in a Russian labor camp.

A vocal rat opponent? As opposed to all those vocal rat allies out there I guess. What a headline.

Just wow.

Walker is currently LEADING in the Georgia Senate runoff. Makes me wonder what the hell is the matter with people there, electing MTG, and actually giving this moron a real chance at winning?!

I've been asking myself that same question since 2016.

In light of today's Kanye debacle on Alex Jones (covered in the media thread):

 

When Alex Jones is trying to back away from you, you know you are f*cking yourself.

He needs to stop hawking his wares on Twitter. It's embarrassing.

Money is the reason why transatlantic slavery existed in the first place. It has been socially acceptable for people of means to exploit others and slavery has become an accepted part of the world economy and how corporations and institutions and even governments have done business over centuries, that’s why companies continued to work with “Ye” even after he said such a disgusting thing as that “slavery was a choice”. It is deemed an acceptable part of the narrative for countries and commerce, with little to no remorse for the suffering it caused and continues to cause.
 

Tragically, exploitation equals money for people of means, governments, corporations, universities and even some churches were built from exploiting people. Kanye obviously is not at the bottom rung of society like the typically exploited but with his lack of normal mental capacity, he is exploitable.

Social media is rife with grumbling from right-wing trolls who crave chaos and don’t want McConnell or McCarthy to work toward a solution to avert the looming railroad strike.

Yep, and then they run like rats on a sinking ship when things go wrong.

This is becoming too easy for Senator Raphael Warnock if he's wants to do another campaign ad highlighing Hershel Walker flappin' that mouth of his again. Is Hershel Walker Pentecostal Holiness? Maybe he's trying to speak in tongues. The only things missing are a bass guitar, a drum set, maracas, and a tambourine.

"Key-oooo-sa-la-tahhhhh, la-la-tee-ahhh! Mayio-sal-lah-mee-o-te-oh! Kah-mah, so me tee kahhhhhh!"

Oh God, Ice Cube…forgot about him. Can we expect him to crawl out every election season, especially when a Black woman candidate is involved? Chappelle has already turned on Kanye as new material, as evidenced by his weird, overlong monologue for SNL (I admit seeing it on YouTube). 
It was also weird but unsurprising that all those corporations dug into developing a professional relationship with him after those comments, even though they eventually jumped ship after the antisemitic comments. 
The Very Online is an apt term, even diplomatic term to describe them. People who are always trying to provoke. I won’t mention the name that I give these people, lest I get a warning.

The question to me is why were they in business with a man who is so clearly unwell? He can't really believe that slavery was a choice. Not in his right mind. Someone who will say that is a loose cannon and out of touch with reality, which he clearly is. I am not a fan of Ye. I cannot even name one of his songs. I do think his illness is being exploited. Otherwise, why isn't someone forcing him into treatment? For awhile there I worried for Kim K's safety and I can't stand her.

I was watching some of the news on msnbc and caught a segment of the Georgia election. This reporter was in Buckhead (the "Beverly Hills" of Atlanta (when I lived there, that's what people called it) and for Cyber Monday, I guess these voters are on their smartphones shopping the the lastest deals because they ain't going nowhere. Nope. They are all standing in those long lines waiting to vote.

Thank God!! I am so grateful to the people who wait in line to save us from all these radical conservatives.

I still haven't recovered from the collective PTSD of that man's occupancy of the White House.  I would like to request that if things are posted about him, can we please not post his face or his voice?  Thanks.

I'm really hoping that we get to see him thoroughly humiliated this time around. It was very encouraging to see his agenda repudiated in the midterms.

He won't go to prison like he should though.

Hi all. I've been gone awhile because I was locked out of my account. Thank goodness Dems kept the Senate.  Dystopia avoided.
