IMO this is where the online left come in and are not as big a factor as they pretend to be, where in that very small world Mayor Pete is a CIA asset and the Great Satan. I think a lot of people IRL do like him (more than Kamala at times tbh), but I just don't think you can put a gay man over yet in this climate.

Between the dead end left (many of whom are virulently homophobic and proud of it), the issues he had with black voters, and the campaign against him and his husband for having kids (along with the general campaign from left and right to demonize gay parenting in this country), it's a lot, but I do think he's been a very effective part of Biden's administration, more than I would have expected.

 Yes. Pete Buttigieg was great in that clip. He's completely right about all of these Republicans who have sold out for personal ambition. Vance disgusts me. He knows exactly what Trump is and what he capable of. What a traitor to the American people.

As one who voted for Biden in the primary (and let's stop the lie that he was unopposed. He wasn't. The options of Dean Phillips and Marianne Williamson sucked, but they were there, unlike all the unicorn savior names being thrown about now!), I am beyond pissed that my vote is being invalidated for the billionaires.

If my vote carries so little weight, I am sorely tempted to vote down ballot and leave the top blank. I hate Judas traitors.

And yes, I know that means a vote for Trump. But since everyone already has him anointed, what's the effing difference?

Aaron Sorkin is out here writing fanfiction and proving that Hollywood has a bigger agenda against Biden. SN: This just confirms why I've NEVER been a fan of Sorkin's pretentious ass writing.

Mike Johnson just confirmed what many of us have been saying--that if the Dems win (with a new candidate) they'll challenge the results in the courts.

And the Dumbocrats still don't get it. These folks are literally showing their playbook and you still have a handful of people just stupidly going along with the program.

    • Oh wow that’s pretty awesome! I wish I had  approached him but there was so many people 
    • In the current environment, while it's small, there is a crumb of good news: Apparently, San Antonio voted for a DEMOCRATIC mayor, Gina Ortiz, beating the "right-hand man" of Gov. Greg Abbott, former Texas Secretary of State Rolando Pablos. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5337199-gina-ortiz-jones-wins-san-antonio/
    • Love this! You are both adorable. Wow
    • I have not gone back to watch much of 1987, but from what I've seen lately, it doesn't feel like the writers or producers had any sort of plan. The show feels as if it's constantly in flux.  I will give it credit for this. It's watchable for the most part minus Lisa/Jamie which I find nearly unwatchable now.   I don't find Cheryl mousy. I think she has a lot of quiet strength, but she was saddled with the Scott romance which the writers did not invest in. She had a good friendship with Julie (also criminally underused), and her interactions with Ada were enjoyable as well. I also like Layman, but Spencer was extremely talented and when Cass returns, Schnetzer and Spencer have some wonderful scenes. Spencer also fits in with Alexander, Hogan, and Marie.  I'd forgotten just how much I missed seeing Wallingford. IT was so good to see him again. Even when they didn't have a major plot, Felicia/Cass/Wallingford/Mitch always brings a smile to my face.  
    •   Dani’s cute ass party planner. He gave me some tea but I was so drunk I don’t remember it.
    • NBC must have been grateful to have LHOTP, it's only hit and still strong after several seasons. Their next established show was Rockford Files at 45th. They didn't develop any comedies and relied on movies and mini series  which didnt establish viewer loyalty and habits. Their only new hit was mid season's Project UFO which debuted Feb up against Rhoda/On Our Own on CBS and How the West Was Won on ABC. It opened with a strong 36 share beating CBS and close to ABC as HTWWW had a 36 share over 3 hours. The next week UFO saw a respectable 32 share, then a 31 so it was slipping. A 28 share followed but a few weeks later it jumped back up to a 34. So no blockbuster but compared to what else they had, there was potential, So next season NBC sent it to Thursday up against Mork and The Waltons and it bombed.  They were smart to see potential in Chips, which took off on Saturdaysnext season. ABC was on a roll with Love Boat, 3's Company, Taxi, Eight is Enough adding to their hits. Their only real flops were Redd Foxx and San Pedro Beach Bums, an Aaron Spelling misfire. Like Redd Foxx, Harvey Korman was lured to ABC but his series was a filler that did well but was considered a time slot hit. Nancy Walker and Rob Reiner were also given series on the philosophy that not only were they popular names, their absence from popular shows like Sanford, Rhoda and All in the Family might weaken those shows. CBS were relying on old favorites. Betty White was strong the first few weeks then faded. Incredible Hulk was their strongest newbie. It was lucky for CBS that NBC was doing so badly or else some of their weaker shows would have really suffered.
    • That outfit looks like something Martin would wear lol.
    • Omg not we both ran into people from the show this weekend!
    • I guess he was let out the gates, because he's outside.
