Senate Republicans immediately put out a letter signed by women who says that Kavanaugh always behaved approporiate around them. It was put out so quickly that it had to been drafted well in advance of the article being published. They knew about this and were desperately trying to get him confirmed before it came out.

In 2006 the Senate was not supposed to flip, but it did and only came into contention at the last minute. That was the same map that is up now, except Democrats have more seats to defend. If Midwest and Rust Belt backlash that shows up against the controlling party in midterms is particularly harsh then Republicans could lose the Senate.

There is a small Twitter back and forth between locals where I live about Antonio Sabato Jr. One of the resident right-wingers used the Kaepernick meme to claim Sabato had sacrificed and ended up blacklisted. Then the left leaning folks came out saying that these thirsty housewives were just drooling over a washed up soap star and posted his gay softcore pictures. It is a mess but is fun to watch because I am not engaging in it (although I did make a passing comment that Sabato doesn't get work because he can't act).

John Loprieno (Cord Roberts, OLTL) is head of the theatre department at Moorpark College which is one of the community colleges in the county I live in.- The Politics Thread
It is nothing new since most (if not all) previous mass shootings were about some angry person taking out their problems and/or feeling on other people. There are quite a few people subscribing to the entitlement based anger that is common on the internet now. Some of the screenshots of reddit groups that have been posted on Twitter are absolutely insane.- The Politics Thread
His vote to retain Obamacare is one that everybody should be grateful for and it was fitting that he did something so valiant in his final years in Congress.- One Life to Live Tribute Thread

Not everyone watches the Soul Train Awards, but that probably is the closest opportunity that we'll for a proper tribute (they usually air in November). Even though that will likely happen I still think that someone should produce a two hour tribute show where more than just two or three songs can be heard.- The Politics Thread
The soap opera fan in me likes to imagine Cohen breaking down like Karen Wolek and releasing all the dirt in humilation. Yesterday morning I had this horrible random dream about a television show where a lackey went state's evidence against a drug ring and ended up getting beat up really bad. Trump himself has mafia ties and knows some frightening people so Cohen is in some serious danger. The law does not have a sterling reputation of keeping witnesses safe from harm.- Tyler Perry's 'Haves and Have Nots' on OWN
Three months reel time in four years is certainly quite slow. The entire onscreen timeline of the show has to be around only six months or so if even that much, lol. Erica being all burnt up had me rolling even though that scene was not supposed to be funny. There hasn't been any official announcement but I think it is cancelled.- The Aretha Franklin Thread
Her discography is well stocked so hopefully people doing tributes will select some songs that are not commonly heard. The albums that Luther Vandross produced for her have a some nice album tracks like "Pretender", "Love Me Right" and "I Wanna Make It Up To You" which is a duet with Levi Stubbs.- The Aretha Franklin Thread
Aretha did take her status seriously and didn't seem to count herself as part of a group of legends, but as the only legend.- One Life to Live Tribute Thread

Hallmark Channel fired him and for no apparent reason. There weren't any issues with behavior and supposedly Steines was blindsided by being fired.- The Politics Thread
It's gotten to the point where they are only concerned about winning and will support whoever helps them to win even if it's a foreign power. It's only a matter of time before they attempt to mess with actual votes. Everyone should check their voter registrations periodically in advance of registration deadlines just to be safe.- The Politics Thread
One thing that gets overlooked and ignored is the fact that immigration has been down for a long time. More people voluntary went back to their countries of origin in the past few years.- The Politics Thread

ABC News had a really strange flub on it's ticker tape that said "Manafort please guilty to five counts of manslaughter".- The Politics Thread
The election is 140 days away. It's ok to feel angry or upset, but keep your eye on the prize and do not forget to push. Walk precincts, phone bank, donate and if none of that appeals to you stuff envelopes or send out postcards. Even if you are in a state or district that won't flip get in contact with campaigns to see what you can do to help because that House and Senate popular vote is going to be critical for symbolic reasons. The fringe needs to know that they do not own this country.- The Politics Thread
The issues with the foundation are more of a problem than the collusion investigation. Not that the collusion isn't serious, but the foundation can actually bring him down because there are more direct links to him.- The Politics Thread
McCarthy's district is the safest Republican seat in California, but his next door neighbor Republican David Valadao could take a big hit from tariffs because he is in a seat that voted for Clinton. The Central Valley is full of almonds and those would be hit hard by tariffs.- The Politics Thread
Antonio Sabato Jr. will not advance to the top two for the 26th district he was running in because he managed to be edged out by someone crazier than him. Kimberlin Brown will advance to November in the 36th district. A mixed bag for soap actors running for office tonight. On update, Sabato did make the top two but has little chance of winning in November against Julia Brownley.- The Politics Thread
Let me say right up front that I don't approve of anyone being assaulted but he's going to insult the wrong person one day and get punched in the face. There was a woman who kept calling a black man the N-Word on a bus and he punched her.- The Politics Thread
For the past few city council meetings where I'm at these MAGA people have flooded the chamber trying to get the council to "opt out" of SB-54 (the Sanctuary State law). I spoke in public comment last night and made it clear that I wasn't there to call them all racists (even if some were), but some guy after the meeting accused me of the race card and tried to argue with me. I shut him down by saying "Sweetheart, have several seats I'm not doing this with you". He didn't like the sweetheart and he walked away from me as I knew he would. - ALL: Soap Stars - Where are they now?
