Look everybody, it's Mitch McConnell moving away from a stimulus package he never planned to pass - again. And unless Pelosi agrees to his likely package (no checks, bare bones unemployment, liability exemptions if employees get sick, cash to GOP donors), the Beltway will dogpile on her - again. 

 

I hope she tells them to eat [!@#$%^&*] and die.

Thank you, I did.

 

 

But I thought he wanted GA to "STOP THE COUNT."  Now, he wants the "missing" military ballots counted?  I'm so confused.

 

 

Well, I certainly got a taste last night.  Mama Khan and I had the grandmother of all knockdown dragouts.  I won't give the blow-by-blow -- frankly, I'm still raw emotionally this morning -- but suffice it to say, Imma have to learn how to coexist in the same household with a mother I no longer recognize.

Loeffler in particular is such a disgusting human being that it's unfortunate how much of a pass she will get for being a Barbie. I see that Josh Kraushaar and other Beltway figures are trying to ramp up stuff about Warnock opposing Israel's occupation of the West Bank, so you can tell where this is going. 

 

If Democrats could just get people to see that the economic recovery will never happen without an end to gridlock, that might help in the races, but so many seem to fall for these press releases claiming that the economy is getting better and better. It needs to be shown, somehow, that Loeffler and Perdue are no better than Trump, even if he was more outwardly repulsive.

 

At least there will be more momentum and money than the 2008 Senate runoff. That one was seen as meaningless when it really wasn't.

Agree.

 

Julie Moroney's account of being inside where they counted the ballots is nothing short of harrowing -- and proves my point about how baseless Trump's claims of ballot fraud truly are.  But, good luck telling THAT to my mother, who SAYS she doesn't really care for Trump (or for Biden), but who believes him and his campaign team when they say the election is being stolen from them.

Hey.  When I'm wrong, I'm wrong.

 

I just wish I could share my joy right now with my mom.

 

Meanwhile.  I've waited Four. Damn. Years. to post this video.  Y'all owe it to yourselves to check it out:

    • Thank you for the constructive suggestion. 
    • But how is it "apparent" that she signed a new 3-year contract? Your wording had a voice of authority -- as if you knew it was true. A better way to post about it? Say you read online that she signed a new contract, but have no idea if that's true.
    • This interview actually reminds me a bit of Kim Zimmer’s press during the infamous clone storyline on Guiding Light, or Deidre Hall during the possession story on Days. All three were seasoned daytime veterans who made it clear they valued airtime for their characters, not just being part of a romantic pairing. It seems that idea was part of the pitch behind these bigger-than-life plots. They all took big swings in their performances. When I read Kim Zimmer’s memoir, I thought she captured it best — she wanted to be respected for being willing to take those risks. To paraphrase her, she knew it was ridiculous for Reva to think she was pregnant after menopause, but she still threw herself into those scenes and made them real. That’s what really struck me about Victoria Wyndham’s interview too. She responded like a real person. It felt like she was telling Michael Logan that she knew Justine — and a geriatric pregnancy with twins — was totally preposterous, but that she still deserved credit for trying to keep the show alive and entertain the audience. And honestly, I think that's more than fair. Logan is looking for a reductive answer for who is to blame.  And, she's telling him to accept that they were all well-meaning.  Which is not a defense of bad storytelling.  But, I understand that she's frustrated because she interpreted Logan's critique as a lack of commitment, and she wants him to know that she was committed! (maybe not for the best, but committed).
    • Fine, you only had to say so. It's not a problem to me NOT to post this. I have no idea what this means. 
    • Oh, really? I think we're really getting close.  What does "apparently" mean to you? To me, it means that this is something I think has happened but not something I absolutely positively know to have happened. When I use a word like "apparently" as I have here, I am doing so by intent. Can you think of a better way to communicate that?
    • Wow...I was not expecting a montage.   I know SilkPress did not!!! Poor Eva.  Lol. Funnily enough I missed that.     
    • For the record, VW thought having the twins at their ages was absurd & who wanted that story, was some group of fans, who wanted her & Carl to have a chance at having children together. Not any fans that I knew of, but supposedly they existed. 
    • Brandon Tartikoff saved NBC primetime. Brandon Stoddard got ABC Tuesday to rebound and put an end to the Aaron Spelling hit factory.
    • Awwwww Brad. I know I shouldn't, but I feel bad for him

      And yeah, agreed that Dante having animosity towards Gio is very forced and contrived. And it also has me concerned that it means the reveal won't be happening anytime soon.
    • God, I love that woman. Another amazing interview!!
