See? That's what we get for that dumb "Ice Cream Challenge" a few years back.

Frankly, I learned awhile back it was going to be $1400 rather than 2K, so I don't understand why people are acting confused and upset now. Maybe they heard only what they wanted to hear?

What is "Rose Twitter"?

The family Trump's leaving D.C. like the end of "Harlem Nights," with a trunk full of money and a building in flames. I remember watching that moment and thinking, "Is that REALLY what you want your audience to be cheering?".

ALL: You couldn’t imagine THEM playing THAT story
Nope, not just you, lol. For that matter, I can't see Matthew Ashford's Jack sleeping with Susan Flannery's OR Jaime Lyn Bauer's Laura under ANY circumstances.

Well, I hope the GOP is happy: thanks to Donald Trump, they have officially become the party of fascism and white supremacy. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: the only way "establishment" Republicans will ever survive politically is to dissociate entirely from the party and either become Independents or form a new, third party.

It's like what Anthony Anderson's character said once, on "Black-ish": "How am I supposed to love a country that don't love me back!?".

It's 2021, and we're still fighting white supremacists. God give me strength.

I must be 1% Republican, too, lol. If a POC can get life in prison just for having a bag of weed in his car, why shouldn't someone, or a bunch of someones, who plotted to overthrow the government get similar punishment? No doubt, if people of color had been responsible for the riots, they'd already be swinging from the nearest trees. Meh. I always knew that bubba was, well, a bubba.

It is. But, it's up to Congress to rise above their fears and do what's best for the country -- which is, of course, to vote to impeach and convict an outgoing president who openly incited a riot in order to overturn an election he will insist to the day he croaks was rigged against him. As you can tell, I don't feel sorry at all for the Republicans who are afraid to vote in favor of impeachment/conviction out of fear of what their base will do to them. By pandering to those idiots' worst fears and prejudices, the GOP fed and watered the gremlins who ultimately breached the halls of our government; and now that they are out of the party's control, the Republicans on Capitol Hill are "scurred"? Well, that's just too damn bad. Look at the Democrats (and few Republicans) who continue to speak out against this administration and violent events such as the insurrection at the Capitol. Hell, look at anyone who has had the courage in the past four-or-so years to speak out against Trump. They're all just as vulnerable to physical and other attacks from Trump supporters as are these "scared" Republicans. They have just as much to lose, if not more, in voting to convict that man. Yet, they refuse to be silent or anonymous about their fears and distrust of this administration, because they saw, from day one, that Trumpism wasn't just some passing fancy, but an existential threat to our very way of life. Could the Senate do a special, secret vote? Sure. But, I say, that's cowardly. I say, let every vote be broadcast on every network and corner of the Internet, and published on the front page of every newspaper and magazine, too. Let each and every American know EXACTLY where each Senator stood on this crucial moment in our democracy's history. If that results in senators being intimidated into voting not to convict, fine. The majority of people who helped the Democratic Party take back the House, the Senate and the WH will remember their names the next time they're at the voting booths, and they'll do the American and democratic thing and vote them out.

GREAT points, @marceline!- The Politics Thread
I wouldn't have expected anything else from Eric or Donald Jr. I mean, there's a reason why Ivanka has always been Donald's favorite child.- The Politics Thread
Something tells me it isn't Autumn Jackson.- The Politics Thread
If they do, I'm worried they'll make it all about Anita Hill again.- The Politics Thread

Also on-board the Impeachment '21 train: Geraldo Rivera. Probably b/c, watching the riots unfold stirred up some painful memories:- The Politics Thread
Meanwhile, I'm hearing Dianne Feinstein, who's so old she doesn't even leave fingerprints anymore (tm Dorothy Zbornak), has filed paperwork to run for another term as senator. Really, girl?- The Politics Thread
Yeah, I'm uncomfortable with John Yoo and his giving Mike Pence this credit for, as @DramatistDreamer says, doing the most basic. Plus, I don't think Pence ever had a shot at being president even before last week. Exactly.- The Politics Thread
Right now, I'm imagining a scene between David and Maddie where they banter about putting on masks. - The Politics Thread
