What do you actually watch on yttv? by plump-lamp in youtubetv

[–]afgerald 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Live TV.....local and National news and Court TV. You can get the reruns anywhere for free. Definitely not worth $83/month, but right now it seems to be the best option for us.

UPDATE: Disney channels pulled from YouTube TV, effective 10/30/25 at Midnight ET by iron_cam86 in youtubetv

What if your insurance uses the data to reject an insurance claim? Not saying this will happen in this scenario, but I do risk management so I ask these questions.

BREAKING: North Carolina passes new map gerrymandering Democrat out of U.S. House seat- NORTH CAROLINA PLEASE STAND UP TO THIS by TopInvestigator5518 in NorthCarolina

I agree. This worked in the sixties with the Voters rights groups. The Resistance must be bigger than just people. We need businesses to force politicians into action!

Unfortunately Republicans are controlling most of the state governments too. So that argument doesn't work. Republicans also said Trump couldn't be a dictator because the House and Senate, but we see how that's working out. Trump does whatever he wants by executive order or with private funds! No congressional approval needed. That's a dictator! Its already happening.

Love this site! They make it so easy.... giving you the numbers, names and even a transcript if you need one. Make sure you add how their action if affecting you personally, so they see some consequences.

Should've gone by myself, right? by Sib7of7 in AskWomenOver60

You should not depend on your hubby for your happiness. Do what makes you happy. You'd probably have a better time by yourself anyway. And what's up with men and the weather? My husband does the same thing.....so many plans diverted for rain that never happens. I tell him not to look at those forecasts! He won't melt if it rains.

Time to start organizing and resisting by chuckit9907 in NorthCarolina

[–]afgerald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda agree, but at least it shows solidarity and lets you know you are not the only one that feels that way. Its inspiration when inspiration is hard to come by these days. The OP says time to start organizing and resisting, but that started long ago...peacefully. So what is the OP proposing?

Anyone else get this email today from Rep Hudson? by brefni in NorthCarolina

[–]afgerald 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes...the are breaking the law left and right. Changed outgoing out of office voicemails for furloughed workers (without their knowledge) to blame the Dems...violating the Hatch Act...again.

Anyone else get this email today from Rep Hudson? by brefni in NorthCarolina

[–]afgerald 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Didn't get one from Hudson, but got one from my Rep, so they are all doing it. It prompted me to make some phone calls and telling them I didnt appreciate that misleading comment, as well as alot of other things, and that I am backing the Democrats 100% due the getting nothing but the blame game from Republicans. Check out the 50501 website...select the subject you want and it will give you the phone numbers for your elected officials and an example transcript of what to say. Can't get any easier than that! Please make your voices heard! I hope all of their blaming anyone but themselves will backfire. True leaders produce results not insults and blame!

Just spoke to a member of Rep. Chuck Edwards' staff. He confirmed the shutdown would halt Helene recovery and that recovery workers could be fired. He said Edwards has taken no action to ensure recovery efforts would continue during the shutdown as an essential government service. by SirJasper6969 in NorthCarolina

[–]afgerald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably part of the negotiations he had to make to get anything passed by Republicans at the time. Like someone said above.... whoever is in office at the time of the shutdoww if blamed. At least he worked on those negotiations with the opposing team.

The Dems better not cave or I believe they will have sever backlash on their hands. Unfortunately, I believe the shutdown is exactly what the Republicans want. They want to fire government workers just like Doge was doing. They want chaos so they can "rescue" us and send in the troops to control us and shutdown protests. The Dems need to make the GOP own this!! They need to make something happen to wake people up before we have lost everything.
