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:

    • Bloodshed is inevitable now. It’s another reason I’m glad Black people aren’t getting involved in these protests. As awful as this is, I keep reminding myself that 54 percent of Latino men voted for Trump. These people were put in harm’s way by members of their own communities and sometimes even members of their own families. Too many people decided to touch the stove.
    • Maybe I'm still in denial, but nothing about Neighbours' ongoing social media output gives the vibe of a show that's ending. In today's 'Roundup' video, Alan Fletcher referenced that production finishes in five weeks, but in all the show's posts the cast are as jovial and lighthearted as ever. Remarkably so for people who are about to lose their jobs.    Perhaps they're just putting a brave face on things, and I know they approached the previous axing with a positive attitude. Maybe putting an upbeat face on things is a collective way of showing potential backers that there's still life in the show? Or is it possible that they already know the show has been saved, and we'll get an announcement next month when filming wraps and the show 'rests'?   Does any of that make sense?!
    • A very good week for male eye candy on GH. New Michael is beautiful, Curtis's arms looked great in that polo shirt, Cody looks even more handsome with his new haircut AND we got Marco in swim shorts rocking his lovely bod and chest fur.

    • Yeah when Jamey Giddens did breakdowns for DAYS, he would sometimes state in tweets that specific things were his idea that he had pitched to Ron.
    • I don't, since they've clearly incorporated them into Tomas' storyline, and I happen to like his tattoos, but his jackets not fitting doesn't mean they're trying to cover his tattoos. The clothing overall isn't the issue; it's the fit. And I expect(ed) more from Jeresa Featherstone and her team. Very disappointed. He's the only male, overall, whose costume irritates me.
    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.
