Day in and day out he retweets Nazi accounts. We are at a place now where no one cares, at least no one in power - the media, the Republicans. The judges who do care are probably going to be ignored as the new GOP line is that judges don't matter. 

The rich are thriving and the rest of us are left in the sewers.

But at least John Oliver and Jon Stewart can have a big dopey grin yuk yuk about how America is now a monarchy.

Google Calendar removes Black History Month, Pride and other cultural events.
Users of Google Maps in the US would see the name of the Gulf of Mexico changed to the "Gulf of America".

fyi: timeanddate.com can be configured to show every religious and secular holiday and observance in every country.

So let me get this straight... The USA is now being operated by a man that named his child - X. His real life son is named X. Like... What the...

Some days I wonder why I was not born in a different time. This just too unreal at this point.

"'Hope,' St. Augustine said, 'has two beautiful daughters. Their names are anger and courage; anger at the way things are, and courage to see that they do not remain the way they are.' In her timely book, Bishop Mariann Budde offers hard-learned, excellent guidelines for helping not just individuals but congregations and communities learn about bravery and courage, especially in times of polarization and transition." -- The Rev. Dr. Nancy Jo Kemper, Kentucky Council of Churches

I just read the orange man's love ode to Putin... and his invitation to come and visit USA. Wow... he is really fangirling at this point... for his role model and idol. 

It would be funny if it wasn't so PATHETIC.

My mother is 90 years old... imagine the culture shock. She grew up during FDR and Harry Truman. It amazes me how many older people are brainwashed by Fox news. I hear account after account from people who say they don't recognize their own parents anymore. People who used to be just reasonable centrist Republicans. My mother is the same centrist Democrat she was 50 years ago, and I think it's mainly because doens't have cable TV... her news has been coming from Norah O'Donnell on CBS and PBS newshour. 

Pete Buttigieg. 100%

This statement is 1,000% TRUE.

    • I still see Alfonso Ribeiro as Carlton when Martin gets angry.
    • Not that I want to defend Y&R's writers, but it's not as absurd as you'd think and I believe they plucked it from reality (and then bungled it). The Estee Lauder Companies purchased Tom Ford's brand several years ago and I am willing to bet that's how Jabot came to buy Marchetti.
    • Loved the episode today. looking forward to the fallout. Nubian-Sheila looked fantastic, but I wish the writers would cut back on her overuse of figurative language. I loved the "fix yo mind ministries" line though. The background music during her fantasy confrontation with Nicole was epic.
    • Nothing makes sense on this show. I wish there was a garbage can emoji. That sums up 90% of the show right now.
    • You're welcome

      Jane Wyman return episode was head-to-head w/ Cheers season 8 finale. Falcon Crest broadcast syndication began Fall 1986, which overlapped w/ Oprah going national. AFAIK cable broadcasts were Lifetime and Soapnet. I have no memory of cable broadcasts on TBS, TNT, TNN, E!, FX.
    • After today’s rushed and abrupt exit for Summer I immediately realized that Josh & Co. were very blindsided by AL’s decision to leave.  Not the first time this has happened to JG either; see MM & HK’s exits in 2021, MM’s exit in 2022, and of course TSJ’s exit last year. Obviously JG and our executive in charge of nothing Steve Kent don’t have a good handle on casting disruptions. And Mariah having an offscreen affair is [!@#$%^&*] ridiculous!! Meanwhile Tessa’s blonde hair is overkill with the number of blondes on the show already. I said the same thing 3 years ago…of course it was utterly ridiculous everyone was mad at Sally for getting Summer he dream job (don’t ask lol) but there was so much the show could have done without bringing on the Marchetti angle.
    • Does the ball on GL where Philip revealed that he had forced Alan out of Spaulding count or was that not Philip's idea?  There was a ball on AMC where Adam revealed that he had bankrupted Palmer, I think (or was it the other way around?), but I can't remember who threw that.
    • Thanks for honoring Ruth Buzzi. She was a treasure. I'm glad DAYS let her have some fun. I remember Imogene Coca complaining about ATWT just giving her a drab guest part.
    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
