Ever so thankful for the ignore feature.

I say the blue states should say f.u.c.k. it and secede from the red states.

I think it is pretty much done. Handel is pulling away.

Seems Karen Handel is winning against Jon Ossoff in Georgia, from early results. Anyone surprised? Yeah, me neither.

I honestly think there should be a "voting license". Kind of like a driver's license but a test for voting. If you can't answer coherently about any issue outside of slogans or propaganda, no vote. I know it'll NEVER happen, as the right to vote is in our Constitution (much as that document is spit on in this administration!), but there should be such a test to assess cognitive thinking and brain function before anyone steps into a voting booth! Or suffer the consequences. (And wow, are we suffering now thanks to the brain dead.)

I may sound pessimistic, but I think Karen "I do not support a living wage" Handel will take this. Georgia, when push comes to shove, consistently goes red. I realize Trump won by a small margin, but...he still won. The only upside is, this seat has been Republican for decades, anyway. And while "close but no cigar" means nada, I still consider the fact this race being so close is a win in and of itself considering past history.

Eh, let him. 1. It will only increase the heat on Trump, basically shouting he has many things to hide and 2. even if he does fire Mueller, I read that some in the House (or Senate) are ready to reinstate him as special prosecutor should that occur, and then Trump has no say, anyway. And we all know what happened when Nixon went down this road, don't we?

Only right, since Fox has never been "fair and balanced" to begin with!

One billion years from now, Trump will have melted earth or something, and there will still be "BUT HER E-MAILS!!!" I think we'll just agree to disagree here.

Uh huh. Used a Vulcan mind meld, she did.

Funny that even with the 12 billion investigations on Clinton, the end result was always *crickets*. Somehow, I have a feeling the end result for Trumplandia will be a lot messier. I mean, when even his LAWYER (for Russia) is now under investigation? Come on...

Loving/The City Discussion Thread
I recall reading somewhere, and maybe I'm misremembering this, but I believe even though OLTL hit the ir before AMC, Nixon had actually written the original AMC bible before OLTL. So, if indeed AMC was essentially first, there may have been a sentimentality factor for Nixon there.

And let us take a moment to reflect on the fact that Oompa Loompa is now trying to return former Russian compounds in Maryland and New York to his buddies. He's a corrupt POS. And one who has zero empathy and just needs constant validation. My folks have told me Watergate took 2 years before Nixon left. I'm not sure we can take 2 years with this arsehole and his filthy administration.

Yes, but in doing so, I think it would just make the investigation dig deeper. An innocent man would not try to stop the testimony otherwise. And the sane contingent of American citizens would continue to support said investigating. So, for Trump, it's almost delightfully "damned if he does, damned if he doesn't".

I dunno, the one I live in seems pretty damned good right now.

At this juncture? I'll say it: Blue states should secede from their red conservative neighboring states. Separate but equal nations. Let the GOP have Trump and all the corruption that goes with him. And no, I'm not naive and know that applies to the left, but I cannot fathom it is even a quarter as prevalent as it is with this bunch. The only question is if red states would sink without blue states around to bail them out. But let's see... Because from where I sit, the "United" States of America is already dead.

Crappy or not, you get what you give. Do nothing? Get someone like Trump. We are SPIRALLING. Voting ALWAYS makes a difference.

Good. Let the world see the buffoon that we have because half the country couldn't be bothered to get off their asses and VOTE.

Oh, FFS. Will somebody PLEASE get a tranquilizer dart gun and then release Trump into a faraway forest? On Pluto?

Perhaps there is hope for our country down the line: Eighth graders refuse to be photographed with Paul Ryan.

The Russian fungus now extends to Mitch McConnell! Surprised? Yeah, me neither.

I continue to feel little to no pity for these folks. Probably not nice of me, but hey... Maybe listen when an ass tells you...he plans to continue to be an ass if elected? As Maya Angelou said, when someone shows you who they are the first time, believe them. Now, though? To his voters, you broke it, you buy it. Have fun!

It's uncanny just how much Marcy Walker and Carrington Garland resembled each other. They really did look like sisters.
