Members Khan Posted July 9, 2019 Members Share Posted July 9, 2019 Last night, I watched an episode of "Touched by an Angel" about the panic surrounding the 1938 "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast, and it occurred to me: "fake news" is nothing new, nor is human beings' blind faith in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted July 9, 2019 Members Share Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) Amanda Bynes did a pretty memorable impersonation of Ross Perot. Given the fact that it was a kid's show and the sketches lacked sophistication (to put it mildly) but to me, at such a young age, Bynes somewhat floored me in what she was able to do then. So Twitter is saying that that wasn't Amanda Bynes but someone named Katrina Johnson?? Oops!

Members Khan Posted July 9, 2019 Members Share Posted July 9, 2019 I don't know how good Amy McGrath's chances are, but I'm glad someone figured out that Mitch McConnell has to be removed from office as well, if we stand any chance at surviving. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 10, 2019 Members Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) The Democrats tried in 2014, but the candidate they ran, who on paper seemed strong, turned out to be a disaster (she wouldn't even say whether she voted for Obama). I don't think they'll have much luck this time either, given that Kentucky is a hate state, but I hope I'm wrong. It looks like another female Republican candidate who was getting push from the media, and from some in the party who want to elect women, went down in flames. https://www.politico.com/story/2019/07/09/north-carolina-gop-women-candidates-1402263 https://www.politico.com/story/2019/07/09/greg-murphy-wins-north-carolina-runoff-1577764 It's time for everyone to just admit the GOP hates women. Even most of the women in the party hate women. The party is built off the corpses of girls and women.

Members I Am A Swede Posted July 10, 2019 Members Share Posted July 10, 2019 The British ambassor in Washington, Sir Kim Darroch, has resigned his post after the turbulence of the last few days. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-48937120 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted July 10, 2019 Members Share Posted July 10, 2019 It's down to Boris Johnson, the British Trump (although he's probably smarter - which isn't saying much). What a toxic duo they will be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted July 10, 2019 Members Share Posted July 10, 2019 Thank God there still people with the stamina to call this kind of thing out. There was never a doubt he would. While that ambassador told nothing but the truth, it just wouldn't be possible for him to continue on after the leak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted July 10, 2019 Members Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) I said Trump would win the election, and I was rebuked. I said Boris Johnson would be England's next prime minister -- and again, I was rebuked. You know, boys and girls, things would go so much more smoothly if y'all would [!@#$%^&*] listen to me, lol.

Members I Am A Swede Posted July 10, 2019 Members Share Posted July 10, 2019 I wish I could say that I'm surprised, but sadly I can't. There's just so much ugliness in the world now. Everywhere you look. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted July 10, 2019 Members Share Posted July 10, 2019 The BBC carries so much water for the right and the attacks against Corbyn were so absurd for so long that it's made him something of a god to many on the left. There doesn't seem to be anyone in the UK to turn to, as the Lib Dems are mostly opportunistic vipers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
