In case you missed it, I already recapped the first episode of RHOD. You can click here to read that. I’ve also written a bit about each of the cast members trajectory for season five. You can read all about that here. I really enjoyed the first episode of RHOD, and like the new girl. Brandi is still awful and Kameron is still hilarious.
Here in Georgia we are all on pins and needles waiting for some election results. I’ve been very optimistic that we can turn the senate blue. But today, I’m actually pretty concerned. So I’ll be updating that a little bit here. Meanwhile, there is a super spreader event in DC today and tomorrow. Hopefully everyone getting COVID is the worst thing that can happen. But… you never know when that many crazy people get together.
I currently trying to distract myself from all of this watching that Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist season one on NBC on demand. It’s better than the Prodigal Son show on FOX you are trying to make me watch. It’s kind of gruesome. 🙁 But I haven’t entirely abandoned it. Anyway, Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist Season Two premieres tonight on NBC.
What are you guys watching tonight since it is a dead night for Bravo? What’s on your mind? Is 2021 any better for you? I’ve taken a shower and washed my hair in 2021! So that’s progress for me. But about that kitchen. Y’all I’ve messed up every cooking pot and cast iron skillet in the house! It’s a hot mess in the ghetto shack. Hope you guys are surviving. Only 15 day until we can expect some change and get closer to getting vaccines in people’s arms rather than just going bad in boxes.
Oh and I was monitoring the Girardi hearings today. There were two ex parte hearings. One was for bankruptcy and the other I think was about getting a trustee appointed. No one bothered to appear for Girardi. It was all pretty boring and basically was just setting up more hearing dates.
Distracting from watching the news, ordered some El Salvadoran take out / craved pork pupusa & black beans,
Still on Netflix ride, 2 shows I binged over the last 4 days are both foreign series…if you can get past the dubbing of dialogue & I can, these 2 are great:
Dogs of Berlin – 2 seasons, Turks/Lebanese underground cops in Berlin, fighting current day Nazis. It’s really good.
Monarca – have 5 episodes left, plan on finishing tonight season 2. Mexican family tequila makers, lots going on.
I can watch Dallas in the morning…lol.
Thanks for the recommendations! I’ll see if crappy Netflix Australia has them.
Dogs of Berlin, wow. Was amazed, properly produced.
You might love,
Dogs of Berlin is really very good. I will have to check out Monarca. Amazon Prime just released the final season of Vikings and I cannot wait to for the new seasons of Outlander and the Last Kingdom.
About to start Last Kingdom – Monarca, sex, drug cartel, family betrayal, sex. They better have a season 3, lol
I’m on pins and needles too! Will be watching results tonight!!!!
I have to go back to ZEP season one and hear more songs. I’ve watched five minutes of the results and I’m already nervousing. I’ll check in between episodes.
TT I live in Savannah, and I’m feeling a little nervous myself . Thank God for Xanax.
Oh and Page Six is reporting that Kim and Kanye are divorcing and that Kim hired Laura Wasser to represent her. She used her in her second divorce as well. This is number three.
I don’t think anyone will be surprised. Feel bad for all those kids and I think Kim put up with a lot and really tried to help him
When she got rid of the Hump (I was really passed when he was haranguing Jonathan Cheban about gay or not. But he looked like a damned decent person on the Million Dollar Listing LA) and Kanye had written that song about falling in love with his friend, I was optimistic.
Then, early on, Kanye went through her closet and “made” her get rid of clothes and chose new ones for her to wear. Kim thought it was sweet and showed he cared. I thought it was a huge sign of controlling behavior. I know that the Kardashians have a lot … but they do not have their dad. His role in the OJ clusterfuck and reading about what he did later (read Another City Not My Own, by Dominik Dunne) and his mouth drop at the “not guilty” verdict endeared him to me forever. His death devastating his kids. So I hoped it would work out.
I know it’s early but I’m feeling slightly hopeful. In the mail in votes from Fulton County and all the results (only about 11%) Ossoff and Warnock are outperforming Biden so far and Repubs are running even with Trump from November. If this holds, we will FLIP IT BLUE!!!
My concern is that all the early voting and mail ins are where we take the lead and they are coming first. Then we have to see if the republicans showed up today.
I made meatloaf from martha’s recipe and man, it’s incredible! Macys in Chicago Water Tower is shutting down. So is the LV store. Too much looting… thx kim fox and judges for not prosecuting criminals. I’m binging Lifetime Movie Network tonight. Watched Deranged Granny the other night and it was so bad it was great!!
We had meatloaf at my house too! With garlic mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese. I wanted comfort food as I watched the news coverage tonight.
Macys has been struggling everywhere. But I’m shocked they would close the Water Tower store. Here in Atlanta one of our high end malls seems to have a shooting of some sort every other weekend. The world is kind of going crazy.
Same in Water Tower TT. The gangs of thugs ruined Water Tower. I noticed roving gangs of them about 8 or 10 years ago in there and I remember thinking… there goes the neighborhood. Sure enough now. The Mag Mile is shot now. People are leaving in droves. And the world IS going kind of crazy. There is no Law and Order….
Yeah, Lennox, is in Buckhead where the rich people used to live, Apparently, gunfights in the food courts and or Neiman Marcus is the new thing for kids today.
Also, in other news, going to Lake Lanier used to be a fun summer activity. But in the last few years there have been a lot of drownings and random dead bodies.
(Yolanda Voice) WHAT IS HAPPENING IN DIS WORLD? (/Yolanda Voice)
I used to work less than a block away from the Water Tower Place. I shopped there nearly every day on my lunch hour. At the time it was a Marshall Field’s store and I loved it. It’s sad to see it go and I hope they find a decent tenant to take their place.
Georgia people, please keep us posted on election results.
It’s REALLY, REALLY CLOSE. Gonna be a long nailbiter of a night for everyone.
Teri, I worked downtown for years and lived at 535 N. Michigan and walked from there to my office every day and NEVER had a problem. Now? I wouldn’t dare. I loved Field’s, better than Macy’s. I can’ imagine who is going in there, cuz what sane person wants to risk their life with all the car jackings, robbings, muggings, etc.
That’s so sad to hear, Gigi. I worked on Chicago & Michigan until 1988 when I moved to Phoenix and then to Las Vegas. I never had any fear of the area even when I had to take a bus or cab to the train station if I had to work late. The Mag Mile is so close to some of the poorest neighborhoods in the city it doesn’t surprise me that things have gotten more dangerous. It’s just a fact of life everywhere now.
OMG j!!!!! 42% of vote in. So far the dems are looking good. Those wonderful Early voting dems. Love it.
Getting ready to clean my carpet. Nothing like clean floors and kitchen. It makes me happy.
Emily D Baker has a law YouTube channel and she’s breaking down the Girardi case the the legal pleadings. Bith Tom and Ericka are in deep shit. After all the lawsuits are done and over, they may have enough $$$ left for a tarp so they can shelter in Venice Beach with the other homeless. Tom’s career is over. I dont think Erika can escape damage either.
Isn’t she THE BEST!
In my head, she and Tamara are new besties! If the proceedings ever get to a public courtroom/forum, I think they would make a formidable tag team!
Hi TT, I just wanted to let you know that when I posted my comment above, the boxes that we get asked to fill in with our name and email was prefilled with the details of the person I was replying to above. Sorry to post this here, but I’m taking a quick work break and this is quickest for me. So, I could see that person’s private email and just thought you should know. Because this post isn’t a reply to someone else, this time my boxes are blank, as they always usually are. Slight glitch? Sorry to add issues to your day and good luck with the election stuff. Got my fingers crossed for you.
Dr. Dre is at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after suffering a brain aneurysm … according to https://www.tmz.com/
“Sources connected to Dre and with direct knowledge tell us, Dre suffered the aneurysm Monday and was rushed by ambulance to Cedars and was taken directly to ICU, where he remains Tuesday.
Our sources say the 55-year-old music mogul is stable and lucid, but doctors don’t know what caused the bleeding and they are doing a battery of tests.”
He’s currently in the middle of a nasty divorce.
moonshiners on discovery channel and master distiller afterwards (absinthe making tonight). i find this fascinating. who knew?
OH MY GOD THIS IS SO CLOSE RIGHT NOW.
Even Kornaki is having a hard time keeping up.
Meanwhile – are his pants a darker khaki this time?
I can only check in every 40 minutes. MSNBC has Al Sharpton droning on about nothing so i missed Karnaki and John King or whoever on CNN doesn’t give the important information LIKE THE PERCENTAGE OF VOTES THAT ARE IN FROM THE COUNTIES HE IS TALKING ABOUT. Plus I don’t feel so great. My tummy ain’t been right for days.
I’m not sure Al is going to be back on. Michael Steele was just on; he’s still hopeful. Chastised again his fellow Rs, saying that normally they’d be done for the night and off getting a beer by now. That they are losing Georgia is on THEM and because they brought in Trump.
Just waiting for DeKalb Co. to drop a big chunk of votes.
Watching Queen’s Gambit on Netflix. Good so far!
TT have you watched Bridgerton on Netflix? Amazing costumes, great story/character development, and the ultimate escapism. Definitely check it out it time permits.
I don’t have netflix.
HBO Max, The Flight Attendant is darkly fun. I’m thinking I won’t last the night with the election countdown, because I have an early doctor Zoom. But I badly want to wake up to a Mitch demotion. Food pantry clean out left me eating like a growing teen because I don’t have any more space and too many necessary goodies. I am shelf poor.
I really enjoyed The Flight Attendant – the lead is excellent, and agree its wonderful black humour. binged Brigerton & The Queen’s Gambit – loved both although very different.
I got a little obsessed with the flight attendant on HBO max – I binged watched the whole season again after the finale. It is based on the a book which I came very close to reading mid season in early Dec, but got busy and didn’t. Apparently it has a slightly different ending, which I am actually glad I didn’t. I read an article today on the lead characters coat collection in the series and did not regret a minute of it! I feel weird connecting this, but the lead character seems ever so slightly inspired by Kate Chastain’s below deck persona.
I watched the third season of search party on HBO max this past week. I had no clue it was HBO max as the first two seasons were on tbs. I LOVED it. This might might be due to my anticipation and disappointment with not loving Bridgerton, but I like season 3 of search party better than the first two (it gives me really complicated feelings about my millennial values). The season takes place mostly during a trial (trying not spoil it), which might be up your alley. Cassidy diamond is the BEST! I am late to the game, apparently season 4 will air this January.
Based on your write ups I watched and loved Killing Eve (and I started visiting this blog for below deck), so that’s where our tastes align. If you are ever in the mood for some kooky comedy escapism, I swear to god, “what we do in the shadows” had gotten me through the pandemic. Episodes are about 20 minutes and totally ridiculously stupid – it is the best when you need to turn your brain off.
Fingers crossed everything in Georgia comes out clean cut – I don’t personally know any Georgians, so your remarks on the site have been a nice connection!
Oh I loved Brigerton! Why didn’t you like just out of curiosity? X
Thank you for asking about Bridgerton, I feel so guilty! I watched the first 3 episodes and didn’t really get further.
I have glutted myself reading historical romances over the pandemic. They tend to have repetitive plots, and I’ve become tired of perfect rich young women under 25 looking for a husband. The stakes are just annoying to me now as I reflect on how imperfect, poor, and old I am getting. So I am getting more annoyance and jealousy than escapism out of it personally :(. I also think of who these people would be in modern times (very rich socialites) and I just feel “UGH” about myself. I wonder if there is some sort of analysis out there about the real housewives being the same type of entertainment, just a new era and age-adjusted ladies.
That said, if there was a murder or major crime involved, someone was a spy, the lead character was poor, older and/or a widow, or there a stronger feminist plotline from the outset, I think I would have liked it more. Bonus points for all 3 :).
I think there the subplot for the Derry girls character might be more interesting to me, so I might just need to push on and will find something I like.
CNN just announced Warnock won!
And a non-recount lead to boot!!!
Ossoff pulled ahead, but it is a .2 percent lead. Unless it goes to a .5 spread, it will mean a recount.
If you ever need a movie that is just so bad it’s funny watch Santa Jaws. It makes the Sharnado franchise seem like fine cinema! We watched it Christmas day and I fell off the couch laughing at how bad it was. Sometimes you just need stupid funny shit to get through.
Love these sort of open, free flowing posts! Feels like meeting up with friends and catching up (well, sort of- would rather be at a bar in Fells Point with my good old peeps). Thanks TT for giving us these spaces! For some reason, I’m still a bit of a tech-phobic Boomer (rooted in fear of failure I think). Haven’t dipped my toe in the water of streaming yet (for some stupid reason, I have that old person’s fear that I’ll blow up the tv or something if I click the wrong thing 😊). But you guys are really pushing me towards streaming; it seems I’m missing so much good stuff, think I’m ready to make a move and face my fears- ha! So thank you.
Honestly, when I got notice that Netflix was upping monthly script to $18 from $16 dollars a month. Didn’t care, I’m in lockdown & spent more than $18 in a week, for Starbucks.
It’s easy, I have APPLE/Direct TV, and no expert,…just add the Netflix App. It will navigate you to install.
Of, and SO glad that Warnock won- now come on Ossof (98% of the votes are in and he’s leading). Stupid Republicans appeared to have stayed home yesterday – go figure.
because trump told them to. because trump is stupid. republicans can’t win if they stay home because their noble leader told them to. which makes them blind followers (sheep led by an foolish wolf.)
I love you
GeorgiaTamara!FIXED IT! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH xo
Of course, I love you MORE LOL
OK, you just made my morning with that comment, lol.
I can no longer watch Real Housewives – After drinking WAY TOO MUCH during this pandemic, I decided to do dry January. (Day 6 – Mind is feeling a bit clearer and I’m down 2lbs.) But seriously…. who can watch RH sober?? So I will be relying on your recaps/comments until I can crack open another bottle (or box) of wine.
Happy 2021 Everybody 🙂
Congrats on being sober. If you are in it for the long haul or day by day, I can share that it gets EASIER AND EASIER as more time goes by. Even during these trying times, I no longer miss being able to escape into the bottle. (Or the opium pipe or needle.) But especially alcohol. I think it COULD BE almost easier to stop now because there is no socializing in bars or gatherings and that is when it was hardest for a lot of us. Best of luck.
The rest of the metro votes should be coming in by 4pm and there are a few from Chatham County (Savannah) all of those should put Ossoff past the recall line and add to Warnock’s lead.
It looks like WE DID IT!
Now we have to survive the Trump cry babies obstruction of justice in Congress today. And the lunatics that Trump is working into a violent frenzy on the streets of DC….
ALMOST THERE. Only fourteen more days…
Ballot updates. The larger counties checked in their absentee ballots that arrived yesterday but have not scanned them yet. But will today. These are the absentee ballots.
Blue Counties
Dekalb Cobb 17,902
Henry County 9,078
Cobb County 5,896
Chatham County, 5,318
Fulton County 5,294
Gwinnett County 5,068
Fayette County 1,132
Red Counties
Thomas County 2,078
Bryan County 1,015
Merriwether 1,325 (Slightly red/kind of purple)
Dougherty County 1,200
Fayette County 1,132
In total we should get 60K new votes today about 70% should go to the blue team. Ossoff should get through without an automatic recap. But lord knows Trump is going to ask for both elections to be recounted. AS IF GEORGIA HAS NOT BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH.
Then a hand full of counties with less than a thousand left. Ossoff looks like a sure thing. Our Secretary of State (Republican) is still hammering Trump.
SO glad to hear this! I cannot imagine what GA voters have been through the last several weeks/months. I lived in Atlanta for 20 years and have talked to old friends who are so tired of the 2020 elections. (But are blue so happy for a change.) When I lived in Dekalb County, my senate/house reps were: Pat Swindall, who lived up to his name admitting to perjury in a money laundering case ; the guy who played either the Sheriff or a deputy on The Dukes of Hazard- seriously; and finally, Newt Gingrich! I voted for none of these.
Our thanks to GA voters!
Oh the local news they keep having shrinks on to give us pointers on our “Election Fatigue.” My phone has rung nonstop for two months. My mailbox is stuffed with fliers everyday. EVERY DAY! Sometimes multiple ones for the same candidate. And EVERY SINGLE TV SHOW even on national channels have been running ads non stop. And the Loeffler ones were REALLY disgusting. And Perdues were awful too.
The TRUMP IDIOTS have broken through police barriers and the prostesters trying to break in to the Capitol building and is it is now on lockdown.
At this point, Pence doesn’t have anything to lose. Isn’t it time to invoke the 25th Amendment and cart Trump out in a straitjacket?
Trump is busy tweeting about Pence betraying him while all hell breaks loose at the Capitol and he does nothing.
Because your Secretary of State is a REAL Republican and not a Trump Stepford Sheep!
Good for him.
Warnock is on The View and he seems so HAPPY! WE DID IT!
OMFG!
A HAT TRICK!
A TURKEY!
A TRIFECTA!
FIRST … We got our bathroom vanity installed yesterday — after 10 months with a cardboard floor and brushing teeth in bathtub! So I woke up and did the EXTRA chicken and guinea pig and dog chores. Energy I haven’t had in almost a year! I was happy with the way I felt and the start of the day!
THEN … I saw an icon on my phone from Messenger. It was a cockatoo and I recognized it as the FB icon from a dear friend I lost touch with in the 1970s! I wrote her a message a couple of months ago knowing she rarely checks her FB. But hoping to hear from her one day! She sent me a very sweet message! 🌞
THEN … I thought I had the courage to check the Georgia results! OMFG! They did it! God bless every Georgian who voted blue! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Especially our Tamara! I would guess she is finally catching up on peaceful sleep. Or doing the Dance of Joy. Or popping corks! Or ALL of the things!
Here is a Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist reference… this is my “heartsong” today! Where are my backup dancers? 🙂
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do (hey)
I am so glad you like it! I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it last year. I didn’t expect to like it, but it was set in SF so I HAD to watch.
It makes me laugh AND cry and that is a good thing!
Oh I love that song too! I am singing along with it now. I am a long time lurker on this site. This is only the second time I have commented but I had to because for once in a very long time I am happy because the Democrats are winning in the Georgia vote. It gives me some hope that things might get better when all I have felt lately is the unending dread that the pandemic has caused (especially the spike in California now). My thanks to the voters in Georgia. When we can safely travel again I just might take a trip there and see what sights there are to see. Today Georgia’s on my mind.
Tamara, I saw on IG that Erika has a website where she is selling ‘pretty mess’ merchandise now. I believe her previous attempt to sell her own clothes was shut down by the court. Is this new website legal since her accounts are frozen and a bk trustee was appointed yesterday?
Nope. Absolutely illegal if true.
Y’all need to turn on the news.
The Trump idiots have breeched the capitol and are literally trying to break down the door to the House Chambers and are wandering around the building scaring the fuck out of everyone. Pence has been removed by Secret Service. Others are hiding under their desks.
I’m watching this now. So crazy!
I wonder is this shit is wild enough for him. I am seriously praying for law enforcement, all elected officials, and the press.
Never has the BANANA REPUBLIC store’s name been so apt to describe the pandemonium on Capital Hill egged on by the wannabe dictator. Hope you get your country back safe and sound after January 20th. It’s extremely scary to watch …. the veneer of civilized behaviour and thinking is wafer thin and principles of Democracy so fragile…..
Thanks MM. It is quite frightening. Twitter has removed one post and demanded that Trump take down others that incite domestic terrorism prior to returning access to his account in no less than 12 hours. He’s on Time Out.
Holy f-ing shit.
Disgusting, shameful behavior!!!
Trump Thugs!!!
I am shaking looking at photos from inside the Senate right now.
Absolutely disgusting!
Fucking bullshit!
What the F!!
Just woke up – keep vampire hours & this is just insane.
I predicted unrest of sorts – nothing like this.
Holy S#%^t!!
Just woke up, keep vampire hours – WOW!
I suspected unrest, nothing like this – how embarrassing.
Phone wasn’t loading – double post but probably worth it
People need to understand that words matter and people in leadership need to be careful with their words. Once you open the gates, it is impossible to shut them again. Now people are trying to backtrack but they caused this and they should be held accountable. Everyone telling lies and feeding this should be arrested or thrown out of office. Putting people’s lives at risk is irresponsible. Think of all the people working at the capitol, not only the police but the custodians and aides. People who are just trying to go about their daily jobs deserve so much better from the people who are supposed to be leaders. You just know Russia, China and the Middle East are looking at this and laughing.
Exactly what I was thinking! And our allies wondering what the hell is happening to the US.
This shit has been going on for OVER FOUR HOURS and the national guard is still “on the way.” This is awful. I have been on Twitter all day.
You can get up pretty quickly here. At least one video is a bit graphic (the lady that was shot)
https://twitter.com/TamaraTattles
if these were blm protesters, they would have been teargassed and beaten up at 6pm sharp, i haven’t seen one arrest yet, is the police having tea with them, asking them pretty please to leave? UNREAL
Twitter has DC police taking selfie’s with this mob,…..opened up the gates.
So sad .. witnessing treason, sedition, anarchy at our Nation’s Capitol today. What a difference between Biden’s speech and Trump’s video today. Scared for what will happen after it gets dark and for Inauguration Day.
The woman who was shot inside the Capitol has now died.
I suppose I’m alone in calling out the disgusting Kameron. She held a garage sale, during the pandemic, openly flaunted all regulations, made $24k, and managed to brag about it.
At a minimum, this is disturbing. At best, she owes society every penny of the $24k she made. Say ONE person was infected from her sale, the cost to society is much greater than $24k, let alone if that person had to go to the hospital.
This was irresponsible, at best. She should have made a point of donating her money to a food bank or other charity, DISGUSTING. She’s not funny or genuine. She’s a POS.
Not alone, just finally watched & live in Dallas burbs.
I know where Kameron lives, my former boss – lifelong friend, lives on her street….
While she was hosting a garage sale, most of us were under lockdown – but Texas has not enforced anything. That money should have gone to the North Texas Food Bank. I have volunteered there for years & resent the bragging.
They were short staffed, low on funds – and lines for those waiting for basics since June.
Disgusting,
I hate to break it to you, but Kam can spend all her earnings on pink hair dye for her dog if she wants to. You don’t get to decide how she spends her money or whether she can have a garage sale. There have been tons of yard sales in my hood during the pandemic. Perfectly legal.
Perfectly legal – Optics are everything.
I guess why housewife shows are not resonating with me during this pandemic – opulence, without sincere regard to community…..outside what Porsha has been doing.
Random but has anyone seen The Teacher on HULU?
Not sure if i mentioned it here because I was too busy Tweeting POS errr I mean POTUS got put in Twitter Jail last night for at least 12 hours. Haven’t checked to see if he is back tweeting yet. Then Facebook put him in Facebook jail both site said he violated policy about inciting violence.
Just now we have this BREAKING NEWS
Facebook will block President Trump on its platforms, including Instagram, at least until the end of his term, Mark Zuckerberg said.
These actions by our benevolent tech overlords are sure to bring unity to a divided nation.
*APG*
It’s about damn time social media block is pathetic ass. I’m disgusted with quite a few of my “friends” who came out in full support of what happened yesterday. They’re encouraging violence to keep trump in the White House. They believe every stinking word out of his garbage pail of a mouth so I’m sure they’re making a big deal out of FB, Twitter and Instagram shutting him down. I hope they all leave social media in solidarity with their moronic leader. Whew, it felt good to get that off my chest, lol.
I was grateful for my block button on Twitter yesterday.
Try being married to one of them.
I don’t think we’re going to make it. I can’t believe I don’t have anyone to talk to about this, so sorry to be so pathetic and post about it here.
I feel for you and wish you the best with that hard decision.
Someone in my household ( a parent) is drinking the cool aide and I’m wondering if I should kick them out.
I pay the bills and cancelled my digital cable so they couldn’t blare fox news across the house. I figured I pay for the house, I shouldn’t be perpetually exposed to that in my own home. They switched over to YouTube and the free Russian news on basic cable, and I think basically got “programmed.” I think there is also some dementia setting in as well (plus they got covid and for sure have brain fog and don’t listen to anything I say).
Prior to trump I knew they tended to go counter my opinion on political stuff, but agreeing on the actions yesterday and thinking it should have gone farther is too much among other things. They got covid from a vacation and brought it back into the house and I am sick of it.
Oh, Sam, I feel for you. I don’t think my Sicilian temper would allow me to be married to someone like that. Sp Lady, I feel your pain, too. I can almost understand a senior citizen falling for the bs this president and what currently passes as the republican party keeps dishing out. I can almost understand it, but I find it almost impossible to accept.
I’m there with you Sam. My significant other (another Kool-Aid drinker) is able to voice/scream his opinion but I am not allowed to. I am threatened if my opinion is different from his. If it werent for my 2 dogs I’d be out of here.
Oh, LucyLoo, I’m so sorry. It’s situations like yours that make me glad I’m single.
Same here, Terri. I would probably be in jail for the rest of my life if I had to cohabitate with a seditionist. I can’t even be Twitter friends with people supporting this. It’s best I keep far away from 3D people at this time.
I’m not a violet person, but for the past 5 years I’ve wanted to punch at least one person in the face every day. I love just living with my dog and working in an office with 2 other people who never express their political views.
Sam, you are NOT pathetic. And the purpose of all the Open Forum posts lately is because we all need a place to vent. I know I sure do. We are living in very trying times and most of us are shut up feeling alone or irritated by who we are shut up with. Comment here as much as you like.
ALL OF YOU. It’s the only therapy we have at the moment…
I almost started crying just now. Now that IS pathetic.
Lucy, I think I’ve seen you comment before. It’s unbelievable, isn’t it? He can say anything he wants and I am supposed to just take it. I don’t agree. I’m never going to agree. I never learn to keep my trap shut and just move on. Everything is all my fault and we can’t even have a “simple conversation.” You know, the one where I’m supposed to stand there and smile and nod like a good moron.
25 years here. I can’t even think about it. Yeah, as we grew older our political views started to differ. Big deal, right? I mean, we butted heads before but I made the FATAL error of saying, all you do is listen to talk radio and watch fox. I’ve never been able to live that down. They tell you what no one else will, you see? Ok, cool. But these last 3 and a half years have been pure hell. It’s just kept on ramping up. Nothing about yesterday surprises me. Nothing Not even them immediately saying blm did it to make trump supporters look bad. I’ve been living it. This is atrocious. Most of the people living around me believe all this shit, too. I want a rocket to another planet. I can’t even walk the damn dog without somebody coming at me with this crap. God help us all
I’m crying reading your post……not pathetic!
Truly breaks my heart reading you and Lucy’s exchange. My husband married me full knowing we did not share the same political beliefs . We always kept it respectful, sometimes we agreed…sometimes my hot headed self who would push it too far & was just told to simmer down.
To not be heard must be so challenging – I won’t give advice, just a note to say you are not pathetic & deserve to be able to voice oneself. Xo
Sam, we have a lot of happy times around here. But lately, there has been a lot of crying. There are a lot of reasons that many of us are miserable. Hopefully it comes and goes. Other times there is a long period of grieving over the death of a family member, or the death of a marriage, or just a shit ton of loneliness and anxiety (raises hand). And I hate the whole “we are all in this together” bullshit because we are not all in Aspen renting houses that cost more than we will earn in a life time. We are not flying off to island resorts to “quarantine.” We are also not all homeless in the streets or getting evicted and moving in with relatives.
But all of us here, at this place, even those of us that seem like assholes (raises hand again) we are all here, at this place together. And we laugh together and we cry together. And we bitch about old lady stuff together. And argue about housewives together. And we argue about housewives shows But we are all HERE together. And we will get through this TOGETHER.
Oh and I share pathetic shit A LOT. You my dear are not pathetic. You are a normal person in a very difficult living situation, in a pandemic, in a politically unstable nation, surrounded by lunatics. AND YOU ARE DOING THE BEST YOU CAN.
Do you have a friend, parent, relative, that you could suddenly need to go stay with to help them out or something? Go on a staycation at a hotel for a few takes as a mental health break? Or you can just hang out here more and tell us all the infuriating shit he does. We’ll listen.
Oh! AND I FORGOT!
Go read this post. It’s meant to make you giggle!

OMG Sam! I’m laughing/crying right now. It’s as if we’re living in the same household😂. Spooky!
Chuck Schumer is pushing for the 25th amendment. I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS!
“What happened at the U.S. Capitol yesterday was an insurrection against the United States, incited by the president,” Mr. Schumer said. “This president should not hold office one day longer.”
He called on Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment, which allows him and the Cabinet to wrest the power of the presidency from Mr. Trump. If Mr. Pence would not, Mr. Schumer added, Congress should reassemble to impeach Mr. Trump a second time, even with just days left in his term.
I hope Pence finally grows a set and invokes the 25th, since trump actually put Pence’s life in danger yesterday. These people only care about things when it involves them personally.
Just got a email saying FOUR PEOPLE WERE KILLED!
A air force veteran was the only one mentioned. (Sad)
List them all!
The vet that was killed was shot because she was leading the charge to break into the senate room where there were senators and two armed security guards. She broke through the glass windows with a heavy object and refused to stop after several warning. The security/secret service/whatever they were did their jobs and defended everyone in that room.
The three who died of “medical issues” seem suspect to me. No names, no info at all, and that seems like a lot of people to just drop dead at the same time…
I don’t think the other 3 deaths all happened at the same time. They just all died within the timeframe of the riot yesterday. I read one was a heart attack, one person accidentally tasered himself and I’m not sure about the 3rd one. I think they were lucky to have only 4 deaths. If this had been a Black Lives Matter protest I’m sure there would have been many, many more.
I didn’t mean at exactly the same time. I meant all at the riots. The person who accidentally tasered himself makes me laugh. I realize this makes me a bad person but I don’t care. It seems they were all domestic terrorists. Forgive me for not giving a fuck. Most people don’t shed tears over dead terrorists.
Ah, thanks for clearing that up. Yeah, it would appear that they were all there for the thrill of attacking democracy and possibly hurting someone, so I don’t give a rats ass how many of them died. I just want a lot of them to go to prison. However, I don’t want them arrested or charged until Trump is out of the WH or he’ll pardon them.
On The View today, they said that only 50 people were arrested and 47 of them were for fucking CURFEW VIOLATIONS.
Humpty Trumpty had a great fall, all the kings borders and all the kings kings men will walk on your broken egg shells into the pages of history.
Today, video was released online of Trump, his POS kids, and other random political pieces of shit, HAVING A FUCKING VIEWING PARTY to watch the domestic terrorism they incited. And Trump JR LIVE STREAMED THE WHOLE THING!
You can see part of it here.

This family is just the lowest of the low.
Breaking now from NYT
In several conversations since Election Day, Mr. Trump has told advisers that he is considering giving himself a pardon and, in other instances, asked whether he should and what the impact would be on him legally and politically, according to the two people.
It was not clear whether he has broached the topic since he incited his supporters on Wednesday to storm the Capitol in a mob attack.
