Yep. Exactly. Liberals are King Arthur, and Republicans are Mordred. And we all know what happened to King Arthur and Mordred, don't we?

I truly do not understand the logic of Democratic candidates appearing on FNTH's. What do they hope to gain there? Are they STILL operating under the assumption that they can sway those people, or that the network's key demographic is comprised of citizens who have legitimate concerns about the direction of this country and need to be heard? (Many DO have legitimate concerns, but the more reasonably minded ones -- meaning, of course, the ones who aren't blaming it all on Hillary or black or brown folks -- aren't necessarily tuning into FNC, lol).

I am so worried that that terrible trend will continue.

They never realize that soaps aren't like primetime shows. You can't just throw flashy stunts and OMG, jaw-dropping plot twists at the uninitiated and expect them to hook on for (dear) life. The only way you grow and keep a soap's audience is through one generation passing it down to another like a family heirloom.

It's that moment when a pathological liar can't keep even his own lies straight, lol. It's happening to the Norwegians, too? WTF, Planet Earth!?

It was more than rumors. But, as Bunim and her producing partner, Jonathan Murray, learned from "The Real World," the best way to keep your cast on your good side, is to keep them [!@#$%^&*]-faced.

No offense, @JaneAusten, but I don't trust white women to vote for their own interests anymore. They can post all the "Handmaid's Tale" gifs and memes all they want. I know better.

In all fairness, the rest of the world stopped taking us seriously long before Trump. They've only become more open in their contempt.

Barbra Streisand was right. We'd be in a much different place had Al Gore been made president. (For God's sake, WHERE IS MY HAAGEN-DAZS!?)

As I see it, the Democrats are now in a "damned if we do, damned if we don't" situation. If they don't pursue impeachment charges against the president, many will see that as the Democrats being weak (again) and aiding and abetting the GOP in their rampant criminality. (It also doesn't help to have "progressives" such as AOC beating the drums for it among their constituents when what they should be doing is rallying behind Pelosi and her coalition). OTOH, if the Dems were to pursue the charges, or (more accurately) if we were to force their hands into doing so, then there's a better-than-good chance that it all will end in failure -- meaning, of course, Trump won't be impeached; and the media, already out to get the Democratic Party, will make them look like even bigger fools for losing a battle they never wanted to pitch in the first place. That, in turn, will have a deadly impact on the 2020 elections, and beyond. Either way, everyone on the left and far-left is officially screwed; and as grateful as I am to Uncle Bobby and his team for all their hard, back-breaking work, I can't help but feel that his words today have placed Democrats in a no-win situation. So, yeah, get ready for four more years with Trump (you heard it here first, folks -- and I wasn't wrong before, was I?); get ready for more b.s. legislation at the state and federal levels that will undo Obama's legacy once and for all and make the recent anti-abortion bills seem almost quaint; and get ready for more district re-drawing, more court packing and more voter suppressing that will leave conservatives in power for generations to come. (Seriously, y'all, when's the next plane to Norway leaving?) And then, if that weren't bad enough, I hear that Boris [!@#$%^&*] Johnson is the leading contender to replace Theresa May as Britain's Prime Minister, even though he faces charges in court for lying the UK into Brexit (no [!@#$%^&*], Sherlock). Ugh. Screw the deal I made with God earlier this year. I'm gonna eat my weight in ice cream, and to hell with what it'll do to my prediabetes.

"Desperation and hopelessness" seems an apt description for how a ton of folks are feeling nowadays. Even though next year's an election year, there remains the fear of what ELSE could go wrong or fall apart before then. For many, it's just too scary and awful even to contemplate.

Sadly, I agree. Congress must act. If it doesn't, then it will look complicit. I just wish I could shake the feeling that seeking impeachment will ultimately deliver the Democrats' fate into the GOP's hands.
