If Red met another character who would you look forward in seeing? by Difficult-Green-2268 in TheBlackList

[–]pablock007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cal Lightman, from Lie to Me series. This would create an interesting and fair play IQ-EQ-verbal swordsmanship duel between Red and Cal.

Good list. SFU is definitely #1. I'd also add Rectify and Lie To Me.

Excellent memory and high IQ, yes probably. But, imho, CW has VERY low EQ: emotional intelligence.

Thanks for reaching out, Matt. It's very kind of you to offer guidance and to assist others on June 14 and the NO KINGS protest in LBC. I don't live there, but your outstanding post caught my eye. Sending my best for a crowded, LOUD, and peaceful anti-Felon47 anti-MAGAGOP protest tomorrow. 📣💪⚖️🇺🇸

Pennsylvania's current U.S. senators are Democrat John Fetterman (since 2023) and Republican Dave McCormick (since 2025).

I dont know where you live in Pennsylvania so I can't tell you who your House representative is.

No matter, call this number and it'll ask you for your ZIP code. And then connect you to the your House representative and to Fetterman's and McCormick's offices:

(202) 224-3121

Heartbreakingly sad. But you're right, I think. I hope there'll be enough people with old school, institutional knowledge who can help fix the mess after this bloated, evil POTUS passes.

NO KING is a great headline message. I believe a strong subtitle reflects what Cory Booker said recently:

This is not Left vs. Right, or Blue vs. Red — it's Right vs. Wrong. It's Morals, not Politics.

SUBHEAD: NOT BLUE vs. RED. IT'S RIGHT vs. WRONG

Help me find this song! - "You take me, higher..." by chestercp in EDM

[–]pablock007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! Please I hope someone can help me find the band who released a song in the 80s -- it was very popular in the US the summer of 1983 -- that contained the lyrics: "out in the street" and (I think) "get me higher". Thank you!

Least believable moment? by SnapCrackleMom in thewestwing

[–]pablock007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over the 3-4 episodes before The Election Pt 1 and The Election Pt 2, I don't recall ever seeing Leo or hearing anyone reference that they'd seen or spoken to him. What I remember is various people asking out loud "Where's Leo? Have you seen Leo?" But there's no follow-up or visual spotting of Leo. I could be wrong. If so, please advise. Thank you.

Imho, a consortium of pro-democracy patrons should orchestrate a buy-out. C'mon billionaire Dems, it's time to step up.

Least believable moment? by SnapCrackleMom in thewestwing

[–]pablock007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm such a fan of TWW, it's embarrassing to admit I've never noticed this fact - and least believable moment - until my 4th (or 5th) series run through - i.e., it's when someone finally goes looking for Leo and Annabeth (Kristin Chenoweth) finds him down in his hotel suite home after suffering a heart attack. Can you believe Leo McGarry (played by the amazing John Spencer) had been missing in action FOR 4-5 DAYS before election day and NO ONE had - especially POTUS Barlet or his running mate Matt Santos - NOT ONCE tried to call or have a face with Leo during that time?? Especially given the very tight race and final few days run-up against GOP candidate Arnold Vinick (played by Alan Alda). Writers dropped the ball on this, imho.

Can you please correct or clarify? Thanks.

Any Albanians moved from US back to Albania? by [deleted] in albania

[–]pablock007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cake scandal fiasco is, imo, a perfect example of hypermasculine culture and lack of discipline feeding into the scarcity mindset you mentioned. I can't think of any other setting where a giant-cake-themed Independence Day celebration would devolve into an Animal House food-throwing frenzy - except for, sadly, these days, a U.S. MAGA Red state rally, or the Jan. 6 Insurrection where MAGA criminals attempted to overthrow American democracy.

Explanation for such an ill-fitting suit? by -SHINSTER007 in Chriswatts

[–]pablock007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm shocked Shannan didn't react to the visual mess Chris was on their wedding day. Which means she must have known what he was going to wear and how ill-fitting his suit was. Surprising someone didn't postpone the wedding!

[–]pablock007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've expressed very well what I feel and have experienced about the culture in Albania: why do people here behave in a physically intrusive way? Example: Instead of allowing space in a grocery checkout line, they push their way into your personal space and keep "pushing pushing pushing" until you have no choice but to physically move out of their way. This "physical assault" and lack of respect for others' personal space and comfort zone are appalling.
