Yeah, I thought about the fact that this poster is a troll.  I posted a reply that was very curt and abrupt because I suspected that poster's trolling.  I don't want to waste my time.  I think I'll just put that one on ignore, tbh.

The way that woman was treated will always be a shameful moment in history.  I was in 11th grade and far from "woke". I was raised by evangelicals to believe it was always the woman's fault and men couldn't control themselves. Even so, I understood that Anita was being bullied and dragged through the mud and that she was telling the truth.  Her honesty and poise in the face of that debacle really did shine through the muck.

 

Now the idea of a bunch of white men grilling and judging a black woman in that way just makes me sick.  We need more women and more people of color in Congress and I can only pray that happens in November.  And to be clear I don't hate white men (I'm raising one). They should be just as much a part of our government as everyone else, but not control it all, as they have for far too long.

No definitive truth will be exposed in the hearings. It's a he said/she said WITH the addition of Kavanaugh having been previously investigated/vetted since 1993 for positions both in the Executive and Judicial branches. 

 

In the end, Kavanaugh will scrape by and probably be confirmed. 

 

Besides Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, special attention should be given to North Dakota Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (Democrat). She's up for reelection and Trump won ND by 36% in 2016.

Lol at the above. Well as long as you’re all in agreement. Kavanuagh’s accuser is def credible but Ellison’s is totally a lying slut. Just because. There’s no evidence either way on either account. But Ellison’s accuser is an inconvenient whore. Toats.

 

mazie Hirono said men should just shut up today. So I guess if I’m to listen to the democrat message I will do that.

The only one who called Ellison’s accuser a slut and a whore was you. Says more about you that you would categorize another alleged,victim this way when reading reasonable responses from mainly women that don’t fit your trolling.  So yeah I’d say just shut up and move on.

 

and naturally no response to any of the reasonable discussion. What trolls never do.

    •  Yeah, he is still dressed like Martin. He looks great, though.  Cute picture. Sober up, cause we need the tea.
    • Well, Claire did rig Rick's test results, but it was to flunk. They actually managed to get his correct results back after they were thrown into Cedar's furnace...I think? Everyone knew Claire changed them and Rick passed so that rewrite never made sense.   I agree. Pratt always seems "edgy" on screen (and her Locker Room interview prooved that it came from her personality.) I liked Claire causeing trouble and love Meta ringing her beads. Its just too bad that Abby left and they kinda just forgot Claire existed. 
    • Oh so they did sleep together. The retcon was just the medical boards? That makes sense. I think Susan Pratt, while a good actress, was just an unlikeable presence onscreen and soaps wrote to that most of the time. There was some potential for more with her when she returned in that stint, as Pratt was at least interesting to watch and caused some conflict for the stifled Bauers. Instead of pairing her with Alan and then disappearing I might have had her hook up with Danny. I think there was a lot of flirtation with Bolger's Philip, but they never crossed the line.
    • I haven't seen Melchior in the role, but it would be astounding if she's worse than Linn. Her rivalry with Stephanie was sidelined IMO because Linn was one of the few actors who didn't have chemistry with, nor raise her game, when paired with Susan Flannery. To be fair, she did show some signs of life in scenes opposite Darlene Connelly, but way too little too late. It feels like Bell finally woke up after the Thorne switchover and sidelined the Kristin character with Mick to 1 or 2 appearances a week. As a result, the show improved by leaps and bounds after she was inexplicably at the center of the show for most of 1989. Margo is so much more enjoyable when not tied to that albatross. Even Clarke is watchable with less Kristin interaction. She can't exit stage left soon enough. As for the new Thorne, I agree that Norcross feels like a Forrester a lot more than Thrachta, even if the latter is a better actor.
    • The cast said that scenes were filmed over a few weeks, with a preplanned hiatus in the middle, and it was all out of order.  I would *guess* that they used Chandler when they could get him? They also had to work around Leo Howard getting married around the time these episodes were filmed, but I guess they worked it out since Tate appeared.
    • Maybe there was a scheduling conflict or something. He still has the full time 9-5 in Atlanta, right? Julie was there. Idk if Maggie’s gonna be a part of it though 
    • At this point, the best nonpaywall coverage of Los Angeles (and anything political)  is in...the Tennessee Holler https://bsky.app/profile/thetnholler.bsky.social And as always, emptywheel continues to be consistent https://bsky.app/profile/emptywheel.bsky.social
    • Today Monday was the start of people arriving at the funeral, but the service hasn't started yet.  I know this is the nonspoiler thread but I think it's okay to say (in nonspecific terms) that the funeral episodes span a few days.  I won't detail it more here. Just sayin' keep watching.
    • Why am I only now hearing about what happened in L.A., lol?
    • While I agree that Reeves is Jennifer, I honestly do prefer Cady McClain in the role, as I feel she had/has a wider range of acting capabilities than I feel Reeves has. It's the strength of an actor, ultimately, for me, regardless of how I feel about Reeves' political/social views (which I widely disagree with). Plus, not to mention, they costumed Reeves like an old-fashioned frumpy farm/Moron wife, while McClain had some fashion-forward moments.
