I still remember when I got home in 2010 and was watching an interview of either Couric of Sawyer and ten or so of those newbies. It came out that they had no idea how government worked and had no plans for what to do when they went to work in January NO IDEAS NO PLANS sounds like the GOP in general these days.

Exactly, if it’s a full location shift and they actually explore the ramifications of the plot in the USA vs in Japan it could be really interesting. BUT that’s with the caveat of them actually paying attention to their doing a location shift. Like how Iron Fist would have been better if they’d actually acknowledged…

Yep. They’re REALLY good. Change up the plot a bit too, keeps you guessing.

I’ve seen reports that more GOP voters are behind him than the Republicans in Congress so maybe he thinks he can use that? Cause doubt it.

They’ll still point at the Dems. I’ve had some long chats with my dad on politics and he pointed out that when the Dems were the minority in government before 06 they were still getting blamed when stuff went wrong.

We talked about it at my business school. It was noted we were on the third floor, making evac hard. I pointed out that the tables were heavy enough to barricade the door after locking it, since the AC is high in the building everyone was wearing a jacket, giving us more than enough moderately sturdy fabric for a…

Ah, lovely. Time to bring the hammer down in both chambers.

Good news on Gorsuch at least: Schumer announced they’re going to filibuster.

Schumer is in the Senate and is screaming about Senate things: namely that they’re going to filibuster Gorsuch. They announced it today.

My parents say I was a fussy sleeper and eater. I’d take only a few sips and then knock right on out for an hour then wake up for a few more sips. My first word, naturally, was “done.”

I don’t think that last line was sincere enough to count as “true”.

This isn’t The Party doing anything. Any citizen can change their party affiliation for any reason, party leadership be damned. She feels the Democrats more represent her values than the GOP and thus changed parties. It’s not like they’re announcing they’re running her in 2020. She may even never hold office again, as…

That is the only good thing that show has produced. Someone made an extension I love of Hux crushing on not!Kylo (constantly alling “Matt” in to do work because he has a crush) and Kylo being sure Hux is onto him...and he’s not.

Yeah. Everyone focuses on the happy ending instead of the fact that until they did this show the boss had no idea how some of the jobs in their company worked! Like, at all!

Urgh, yeah. Wife Swap. It was bad when it started but then they decided to be edgy and start swapping seriously incompatible families. Like one woman who was sent to a Wiccan family broke some of the kids’ magic related things and berated them for believing. Or whenever they send a feminist to an ultra-patriarchal…

You do make a good point. Part of the issue is this is where a single bad teacher can screw the district.

Yay! My mom is going to be so happy! She teaches kids with learning disabilities and honestly has been worried sick about her class of two years in our hometown since she moved up near DC last year for Dad’s job. The next teacher has apparently been causing some backsliding—against the advice of the paras—and the…

You can say the same for Israel, that it would not be being so harsh if not for the fact that as soon as it was formed it got attacked from all sides and has been under threat since the day it got there. That Jews know “never again” really just means “til next time” and tend to take those sort of threats DEADLY…

Hamas have genocide as a mission statement. Forgive me for not being so generous on them.

She ‘s also pretty badass. Was so upset when she hurt her hip two days before the DC march, she’d been planning to go. Also does Meals on Wheels for less mobile seniors for the holidays.
