Announcement from CBS The impeachment trial will air starting Tues Feb 9th beginning at 12 noon Eastern "on all CBS broadcast stations" https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-second-senate-impeachment-trial-how-to-watch/ (Another site says the trial starts at 1:00pm Eastern Tuesday, and noon daily thereafter) This might not affect Y&R but it will probably affect B&B.

Robert Nixon, who is the son of the late All My Children creator Agnes Nixon, is also an executive producer. I hope he can put some of his mother's spirit into the new series.

^ Bruce Springsteen commercial for Jeep that aired during Superbowl. Same vid on his twitter account: https://twitter.com/springsteen/status/1358606430383689728 I would post this in the Music/Movies section if there was a Springsteen thread, but there isn't. And... regardless ... This commercial has Springsteen talking politics, so I'll just post this here in the politics thread. W.T.F. this this? Red and blue getting all chummy after the sh!t that's happened? Why is New Jersey Springsteen wearing a cowboy hat? And this is not the Springsteen I know and love, has he sold out ? And again, I ask W.T.F. this this? Red and blue getting all chummy after the sh!t that's happened? Additional scathing comments on southpaw's twitter thread. (Chrysler/Jeep's corporation changed its name to "Stellantis"). This is an interview with Stellatlantis' chief marketing officer about how the commercial came to be: https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/bruce-springsteen-super-bowl-commercials-jeep-1234902575/ He claims Bruce sincerely did it to heal the country but ... I still say WHAT?

Yeah this is a plan for checks to children - (eventually monthly checks?) Separate from / in addition to ... the one-time $1,400.00. I could be wrong but that's how I read it.

This is really important to note. This is happening even in Georgia. https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/02/politics/georgia-voting-gop-state-senate/index.html

a new Saturday Night Live sketch on people who don't follow protocols. (about a covid pod watching the superbowl but ...) It's actually quite on point. Sadly there are people like this. Not a spoiler but I put it behind a spoiler tag, in case comedy feels odd when discussing this serious matter.

The Senate vote is non-binding but it's the start. It now goes back to the House and could take weeks to finalize, and then it goes back to the Senate again. Details here: https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/senate-approves-budget-bill-as-harris-casts-tie-breaker-vote/

He addressed his letter to union president Gabrielle Carteris. Fyi, he resigned from the union in order to avoid a disciplinary action as described here: ------------ This was the union's succinct reply to his letter of resignation:

It was confusing. They voted on a procedural point of how to do this, or some step in the process. That must be what he saw.

The motion to adjourn failed. They are now starting one hour of debate on Greene.

The republicans made a motion to adjourn for the day. They are now in process of voting whether to adjourn or not.
