They will just blame the cancer rather than admit that their selfishness helped to kill yet another Congressman from their party. (if a Democrat had died they would be cheering)

 

Maybe Rep. Wright can have a conversation with the police officer who was murdered by the President Wright so dearly loved.

They blamed Herman Cain's death on his other ailments rather than the coronavirus. Many of them still think the Covid is a joke.  There was a conservative poster on another board that I go to that was trolling and "owning the libs" by saying that he went out an public without a mask on and posting photos of people not social distancing.

Of course they don't care. They are soulless, horrible people, and they are a menace to this planet. 

 

I read that his seat is something of a swing seat. Probably not likely, but I hope Democrats win it, and I hope the Democrat poses in a photo wearing a mask immediately after he wins.

Yeah the tax credits were in the plan but there were no details - so these are the details I assume.

 

As far as the checks for once I agree with Bernie Sanders. If you start dropping people then the Trumpers have a case to say "See we got more money from Trump than Biden". I hope this is all talk to placate and they stick with the original plan as flawed as it is.

^ Bruce Springsteen commercial for Jeep that aired during Superbowl.

Same vid on his twitter account:

https://twitter.com/springsteen/status/1358606430383689728

 

 

I would post this in the Music/Movies section if there was a Springsteen thread, but there isn't.

And... regardless ...

This commercial has Springsteen talking politics,

so I'll just post this here in the politics thread.

 

W.T.F. this this?   Red and blue getting all chummy after the sh!t that's happened?
Why is New Jersey Springsteen wearing a cowboy hat?
And this is not the Springsteen I know and love, has he sold out ?

And again, I ask

W.T.F. this this?   Red and blue getting all chummy after the sh!t that's happened?

 

 

 

Additional scathing comments on southpaw's twitter thread.

 

 

(Chrysler/Jeep's corporation changed its name to "Stellantis").
 

This is an interview with Stellatlantis' chief marketing officer about how the commercial came to be:

He claims Bruce sincerely did it to heal the country

but ... I still say WHAT?

Impeachment Trial schedule

 

The impeachment trial begins Tues. Feb. 9th -
starting daily at 12 noon Eastern.

(Some sites say that it starts at 1:00pm Eastern on Tues. Feb. 9th, 
and then it starts at noon Eastern daily thereafter.)

 

They will adjourn Friday Feb 12 before sunset, due to the religious obligations of an Orthodox Jewish attorney on the case.

 

They will reconvene Sunday Feb 14 at noon.

 

--

update ...

Update: the Orthodox attorney on Trump's team said he withdraws his request to adjourn for the Saturday Sabbath. He said he thinks the trial should continue on Saturday, and that another/others in the defense team can take his place on Saturday.

That would mean that that trial would meet Saturday, and maybe take Sunday off? 

This isn't firmed up yet ...
To be determined, subject to change, etc.

    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
    • Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

    • I love my girl, but nope he's pathetic. 250K and now he's put her business at risk.   L O S E R

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
