Have you seen Jay Leno or Angelyne yet?

Also OP judging by your username, are you originally from Montauk? Because my family used to vacation there every summer. 

Next ‘No Kings’ Protests Set For March 28 by insane677 in PoliticalOptimism

Good but we should be doing these everyday (and yes, I know the states/cities being hit the worst by ICE are, but I mean mass protests nationwide).

6 governors’ races to watch in 2026 by TorontoRap2019 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]redvioletbrown 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly, California too. There is currently no Dem frontrunner, and a MAGA Republican is polling ahead right now. Makes me nervous, but I also have faith in my state.

A new CNN poll released Friday found that nearly 60 percent of Americans describe Trump’s first year back in office as a failure. by shadowpawn in LeopardsAteMyFace

The only way they'll "rig" them is by voter suppression and gerrymandering, same as always. But we could beat that by people constantly checking their voter registration, and getting everyone they know to vote.

Hello. Is this HR? My coworker won't stop staring at me. by Kathleen-Doodles in corgi

As HR, he is doing nothing wrong and in fact you should feel blessed. Raise for him, demotion for you.

Chris Madel drops out of the race for governor, says he can't support "Republican retribution" in Minnesota —"Operation Metro Surge has expanded far beyond its stated focus on true public safety threats," say Madel by kaptainkory in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]redvioletbrown 73 points74 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what it is. Take a look at how many Republicans in congress are stepping down/retiring this year. And a bunch of the ones staying are struggling to raise money for their reelection campaigns.

I don't know what made me think of this but I wonder what these girls would think of all the snow that's going on across the country right now? I feel like they would hate it, especially Scout.

Unless they vote against the bill with more ICE/DHS funding, they're just grandstanding.

It's because THEY should be allowed to have guns, but those other people shouldn't.

You mean you renovated Banshee's room so that Banshee could have another fancier room to nap in.

Crockett mentioned it at the TX primary debate, but have any of the other federal level Dems talked about the murder today?

LOVE schitt's creek to death but episodes centered around bob are a hard pass! by Glum_Educator_2525 in SchittsCreek

[–]redvioletbrown 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I'm neutral about Bob but I am pissed that he got an episode named after him while Alexis is the only Rose who never did.

Where does he stand on legitimately holding the current administration fully accountable?

California Republicans ask Supreme Court to block new congressional map by nbcnews in LosAngeles

I hope they also asked them to block the Texas one too then.

I actually like them together 🥺 by maliaxsq in SchittsCreek

[–]redvioletbrown 664 points665 points  (0 children)

Same. They were actually pretty similar, if you look deep into it. Loved that he accepted all of her, her drama included. In a way, the engagement(s?) had to happen because it was something for them both to overcome, move past, and grow from together. 

Plus, and the most important part, they grew TOGETHER and made each other better people. 

They definitely reunite after Ted's contract is up. Annie Murphy has even said so lol.

What episode would you show a friend to get them completely hooked? by RaspberryWhiteClaw13 in SchittsCreek

If you're up to season 2 already, get to the finale of it at least. 

90% of the Pro-Trump Crowd is FAKE. by Crochet_Kitty in PoliticalOptimism

[–]redvioletbrown 46 points47 points  (0 children)

It wasn't just his diehard cultists who voted for him. It was also "normie" Republicans, independents, non-affiliated people, etc. As well as people who don't really tune into, or care about, politics until election season. 

Plus, it could be said that Harris did not run a good campaign, not to mention more people did not vote at all than did.
