I see your point. 

 

Yes, I agree about the filibuster. I guess it will take a few cycles for that to change. Hopefully this put Democrats in a decent position in 2022 to expand on their numbers. 

 

 

Oh I hadn't heard that. Geez. I hope not. I think people don't get just how many psychos out there do not see these officers as any type of heroes. They are targets. Even to members of Congress.

Michigan Republican Congressman Peter Meijer comments on how they were in the middle of debating objections to the Arizona electoral college votes when the mob attacked.

After the building was cleared, Congress resumed debate on the Arizona electoral college votes. 

They were now going to vote:
yes - "agree with rejecting" the Arizona electoral votes.

or no - "disagree with rejecting" the Arizona electoral votes.

He says that one of his colleague Republican Congressional reps was about to vote to

"agree with the objection" ... even though it was obvious that the objections were unfounded.
The colleague wanted to vote no to the objection, but was going to vote yes anyhow.

 

The colleague told Meijer that he/she/they was so terrorized by what had just happened that the colleague feared for his/her/their family. So out of fear, the colleague voted to agree with the objection, without wanting to.

You know, after listening to this speech by Elizabeth Warren and the one by Tammy Duckworth (both of whom were made after the riots), it's hard to understand how the senators and congressmen/women who kept up their treasonous objections to the electoral votes even after what happened can look themselves in the mirror.

    • That's true. He may have ended up keeping her on a recurring basis, like Dr. Michaels on ATWT. I'm trying to remember if GL had a similar long-running therapist.
    • Oh in terms of ratings I think it would have been in a dicey place probably even before then. I mostly was just thinking of if the show could have carried on creatively. 
    • Even if by some miracle Knots Landing continued, 1994/95 it would have been killed by ER.

    • Assuming that Marland had been allowed to write the Carrie story the way he'd envisioned, Millette would've been involved in the story. And she might've played a role in Andy Norris' return (if the speculation on that had ever materialized, and Marland loved bringing back bad boys) But he doesn't seem interested in Sara's personal life. And the women of Springfield could only be analyzed so much.
    • This better be something, because as I said, so far it's just cliches and stereotypes -- the story we've heard a thousand times about the homeless person who doesn't want a home and prefers to live on the streets.
    • @rsclassicfanforever thank you very much for the recent uploads of season 13 containing some episodes that were skipped or glitchy on YouTube!  I had a look at 3172 though and there is no audio for most of it? Would you have a copy with complete audio? Fingers crossed! Thanks again!

    • I like Margaret well enough in what I've seen of her as Paige - she is green but she has real star power.  I agree about the actor who plays Brian. He's...mostly just there. Not bad but not great.  My main issue is with the guy who plays Owen. He's just not appealing to me. I can believe Nola being obsessed with him, but he's draining to watch.  I'm surprised people objected to the quasi-incest elements as it wasn't anything that new for soaps.  Speaking of Kim, here's a rare episode of an anthology show she did called The Evil Touch.

    •   I get what you're both saying, and I think the show was lucky to have even made it that long, but I think they could have still maintained a certain audience - Second Chances did before the earthquake. CBS was an older network anyway. I think the premise of Knots was still usable, it was more the characters who were a problem - many of the older figures were played out. If the show had done a better job building up its younger cast instead of making so many poor choices in the late '80s and early '90s, they could have kept things going a little longer.
