Good Lord. If this show was not already sucking enough, at least one of the newbies is a Trumpster and hates anyone who voted for Biden. It’s really not shocking in the area she lives in. But, it makes me hate this show even more…
I’m so over this political divide. UGH.
I think I saw the leaked messages behind this: Jennifer the doc from OC. She complained to someone that Braunwyn gave her shit/cut her off for taking pictures with trumpy clients, which tbh makes Braunwyn look better than anyone ever gave her credit for.
I’m guessing Nicole. She dated Kid Rock. Plus, she strikes me as somebody who dismisses people, who don’t think like her.
I’m not sure Nicole is smart enough to have a thoughtful political opinion and the guts to stand behind it. That’s the only reason I would rule her out.
Well Nicole is the one who gets “disappeared” By Bravo this season. I’ve never seen anything like this before. It is VERY ODD that she was not listed by name on the Bravo promotions. I feel like Heather threatening to quit was appeased by giving Nicole the ax. That’s not something even Nene has been able to do in the past.
Wait, Heather threatened to quit? Have you covered that already & I missed it?
Is Nicole the one who’s husband left her at the start of filming?
At the end of the episode Heather was screeching at production to get out and she was done.
And no it is Noella whose husband left her at the start of filming. She’s currently posting fully nude photos of herself in IG with a hand bag strategically covering her um, lady garden and arms or something covering her nipples. She’s THIRSTY.
Thanks! And wow – first of all, I didn’t even catch the season started (lol) though I do think I’ll tune in eventually.
I knew eventually the franchise wouldn’t be what it once was, but gosh such a sad way to see it fizzle out. There’s got to be a better way to show the lives of :interesting” women without it being such a sideshow train wreck.
She’s been extremely thirsty since the first episode, so her current actions are true to form. I’m not paying much attention to her actions outside the show and am trying to determine whether I like her based on what she does on the show. So far, I remain neutral on whether I like her or not.
I’m confused. Why would Heather want Nicole gone?
She made Heather look bad. This woman sued Terry but did drop the lawsuit. However imagine being friends with someone for years. You find this out in front of everyone including the audience.
Oh! But she was so forgiving?! I guess they were just benevolent for tv-
I had heard a.few months ago that one.of the housewives was Qanon and was disappeared. So this could be Nicole she seemed really.weird anyway. Curious if this.proves true and it was her. I’d be sad.if it was Dr Jen. Curious.
real housewives of orange county. pick one.
I don’t dislike or discount people due to their politics. You dismiss half the population that way and you’re missing out!
I agree. The parties, the media and many groups want to divide us but we have to be better than that. To dismiss someone based on who they voted for says more about the person doing the dismissing than the voter.
Both of these comments 100 per cent. WE need balance in our country more than anything. All of this all or nothing gets none of us anywhere. I am all for centerist politics. But I am not against anyone else for their opinions. This political climate on both sides is emotionally exhausting.
Exactly. I hate the divide and conquer mentality. Let everyone vote/believe how they want and live their best life. Why do people have to hate and dismiss someone just because they don’t believe like them? Makes me sick to think about it.
Because the GQPT are a bunch of racists, bigots, women hating homophobic mofos who’ve said the quiet part out loud.
Heather is the only Democrat in that cast; says alot #TeamFancyPants
Thank you! Who you vote for is about a lot more than politics. It’s about VALUES! If you vote for a racist, homophobe, etc., that tells me what your values are. I choose to disconnect.
Exactly!
Yup!
Amen! I am a conservative and I am proud of it. Some confuse wanting less government intrusion, lower taxes and more freedom with being bigoted, racist and all of the “obics”. See what I just did. I stated MY beliefs without calling other people names. That is how it is supposed to work. We are ideally a melting pot of differences.
You sound like an actual republican and not someone invading the capitol and trying to overthrow elections. There is a HUGE difference between actual republicans (Never Trumpers) and the cult of lunatics we have in congress right now.
I am fiscally conservative. I believe in treating all people (gay, straight, black, white etc) with the respect that they deserve. An asshole will be treated like an asshole by me. We can all pull back a little and try to feel like just Americans. That’s when we win.
Amen!
Agreed
I am not “missing out” on anything or anyone that supports a party involved in Big Lies, sedition and insurrection. If half the population has a cult like attitude on denying the facts being shoved in their face, I am down for not listening to their rhetoric. Bye Felicia.
Amen.
Amen and hallelujah to this-
And the church says AMEN.
Word.
WORD
This!
^^^ This.
Agreed!
PREACH!!!!
Ladies and Gentlemen, the voting has been closed. We have a winner for Comment of the Day. Congratulations ByTheWay!!!!
Wrong! By the Way doesn’t get to put a period to her viewpoint and then everyone else is demanded to concede. That’s not a Republic.
By the Way can put a period to anything she wants to. We don’t have to keep telling the racists, anti-vaxxers, QANON, insurrectionists, and generally uneducated folks who build golden calfs and other idolatry for piece of shit who is fleecing them of their money. To quoted Judge Judy, you can’t fix stupid.
Thanks, TT! And let me add “Republic” to my list of oft-used words that the users have no familiarity with the true definition–in the company of parameter, hone, decimate, communist, socialist, etc.
I agree 100%. We do need to respect other people but not accept those who form their opinions on lies. I call people out on their bs every day and I’m not going to stop.
This 100%.
I love you.
With you a thousand percent!
Republican, Democrat, Liberal, Conservative … may we ALL say goodbye to “Goodbye, Felicia?” PLEASE!
The division in this country is my biggest worry. We need to reunite because we are all in this together 🇺🇸
Amen Nancy!
Divided we fall United we stand!
As much as I believe politicians are the biggest grifters around – until we can change that – we need both parties represented & not be under the rule of one party exclusively.
Prime example my once beautiful California. It’s literally a shit show here & has been due too almost exclusively run by the Democrats for decades.
I only hope other states wake up & look at what has happened to us & take notice.
Oh I think conversely my lovely state of Texas has national attention. But other states are just using our shitshow as a blueprint to change things like you know, THE CONSTITUTION.
Yes and it’s terrible. My former home of Atlanta came through for Biden and Democrats in the last election. Now GA is being punished by a Republican state Congress with election laws that affect mostly poor diverse voters. My current home state of NC has constant battles between our Democrat governor and the Republican state reps. I would like ALL of them to work together as grown ups and professionals for the betterment of us the voters!
We all need to declare ourselves Republican and vote in their primaries to fuck with them! I was so proud of Georgia!! We couldn’t have won the election without you!
Don’t count on us this time, even with Stacey Abrams back to run for governor again. The “republicans” have gerrymandered the entire state, changed tons of polling places, and are disenfranchising black voters. It’s disgusting.
I was just going to say the exact same thing about the gerrymandering in Texas. It makes me ill. And now anyone can carry guns with no background check or anything at all, plus I get funny looks because I wear a mask in the grocery store like I’M the circus freak.
Yes, & former Governor, Bathroom Bill McCrory, has declared for Burr’s seat in the Senate. I suppose it is because no one would hire him after Cooper beat him out–remember him whining about being unemployed. He literally cost NC BILLIONS of dollars in lost business (e.g., NBA, Google) because of his desire to deprive transgender kids & adults the use of public restrooms. Begone, foul worm!
Regarding being looked at as being a circus freak for wearing a mask …
Better to be a live “circus freak” than a dead “cool guy.”
I won’t say “he who laughs lasts” because it’s not a laughing matter. But, eventually, we shall see how many “non circus freaks” are left to laugh.
California is a shit show? I seem to recall California being one of the States that supports the poorest Red States with their tax dollars every damn year. I recall California being the first State to impose Covid restrictions and roll out a vaccine program much to the chagrin of the republican party. I remember California being one of the first States to get rid of the ridiculous marijuana laws. I remember California trying to recall a Governor who ended up winning that recall in a landslide. If California is such a shit show, why do the majority of its citizens keep supporting democrats who continue to produce one of the wealthiest tax bases in the country by one of the most innovative States we have?
As far as divided we fall, talk to the Republicans. They are the ones trying to overthrow our government and voting system. Talk to the Republicans who vote NO on every single bill designed to help the American people yet vote YES on tax breaks for the wealthy 1%. and billions in defense spending while we are not at war! They vote yes on abortion rights yet NO on child care tax credits. They vote no on health care, medicare/medicaid/ school lunch programs, veterans programs, on & on. They offer no alternatives. Just lies about how it will be paid. (News flash – they are lying when they tell you your taxes will go up. They won’t unless you make over $400,00.00. That’s why they are butt hurt because THEY will finally be paying for those bridges and roads and airports they use, not us).
Kind of tough to meet in the middle with an inflexible party. I agree this country needs two parties to be an effective democracy. But for anyone to tell me that I need to give the current Republican party a pass when they are actively trying to take down the country, I say go find a new party and then come talk to me.
Sorry (not sorry) for the political rant. I too, am deeply concerned about the state of this Nation and the absolute misinformation that is being peddled. Everyone has an opinion, yet few actually take the time to research facts, attend town hall meetings, volunteer themselves to their communities and know who their actual politicians are that are making policies that affect their daily lives. I make that effort because I am deeply concerned and want to be part of the solution. So when I have someone tell me that we “all just need to get along”, I want to ask them HOW? What are you ideas for deprograming a cult like party that literally built a golden calf statute of the guy they worship and are focused on winning regardless of the cost and consequences, yet offer no policies to run on other than “get the boogeyman Democrat who is a commie, pedophile, libtard. In other words, no platform, just hate and division offered. There are Senators currently in office for DECADES who have never put forth a bill on the floor. Yet we pay them a six figure salary.
If I end up in the WLS so be it. I just cannot stay silent while reading comments about how I need to be all kumbaya about the current state of the vast majority of the Republican party when they have done nothing for this country other than to take away our abortion rights & voting rights and turn the Supreme Court into a partisan hack committee.
ByTheWay: Well said, well said! I agree that this country needs to have a 2-party system. But what we have now is one party and a rabid cult of people who think it’s ok to put children in cages, to give to the rich and steal from the poor, to openly express their racist, misogynistic, anti-Semitic, anti-abortion, homophobic thoughts with outwardly egregious acts against others. To disregard the Constitution at every turn. And to LIE – 30,000 lies from Trump alone – about EVERYTHING, with impunity.
I have no desire to be friends with even one of the 74 million who voted for their immoral, twice-impeached cult leader to take his golden throne again because they’ve shown us who they are, and I believe them.
Don’t forget the deaths via Covid & wars. Just recently I was trying to figure out whether cokie Bush or tiny-hands Trump is responsible for more deaths. Counting innocent Iraqi & Afghani men, women & children in addition to our wounded & dead military members–so far I think it might be a tossup.
We can add Reagan in there. How many people died because he did nothing, or tried to downplay, or ignored the science, when AIDS was first recognized? I still wonder what course it would have taken if a Democrat were in office at that time.
ALL OF THIS!
And I’d like to add that its the current Republican Party that refuses to expand Medicaid in the Red states, EVEN IN A PANDEMIC. The very rich get richer and the disenfranchised get poorer and sicker which overwhelms the already overwhelmed CCU beds and ERs, that is, if they can even get to a hospital. The virus is mutating in the unvaccinated. I’m tired of people glossing over the fact that the majority of unvaccinated are Republicans. So, if you are going to WLS, I’m happy to join you because I’m tired of this shit and I don’t have tolerance for it anymore. The division is for serious reasons. The very principles that this country was founded on- Democracy and immigrants, are being turned upside down and these fucktards have the audacity to call themselves Patriots? Um, just Noe. They’re a bunch of uneducated idiots who are only interested in each of their own personal agendas and don’t give a fuck about their fellow man, and are stupid enough to believe flat out LIES. The conspiracy theorists and really stupid ones don’t even realize that their orange leader is a narcissist and a sociopath who doesn’t give a shit about any of them- he has always only cared about himself and behaves like a thin skinned child. He is not a child, but a narcissist who has been given power which is extremely dangerous. The Trump Cult would follow him anywhere no matter how ludicrous. They will eventually all die off from the future mutations which would be fine by me if the R naught wasn’t so increasingly high where they take us all out with them.
FFS, they have a POWER POINT PRESENTATION FOR THE INSURRECTION. Because of course they do. We are no better than the “shithole countries” the orange one so eloquently put it. Using the census to gerrymander and exclude the actual people from participating who increased the census in the first place-more exclusion. Until there’s an actual two party system with checks and balances, we are ALL FUCKED. I am afraid that we will never return to that again, as I never envisioned a political party becoming a dangerous cult with zero regard for the Constitution and the Supreme Court and the checks and balances of yesteryears. The three branches of government are gone as they have packed all three. Bread/soup lines, famine, disease are in the future- if the planet even survives for our grandchildren seeing as the cult doesn’t even believe in the climate changes. Because 85F degree Christmas, deadly flooding, Hurricanes and two hundred mile nighttime tornadoes are super normal.
@BYTHEWAY, thanks for your “rant” and saying what everyone else with a brain has been thinking and feeling but too chicken shit to say it. I think I love you, lol.
PS- this pandemic is not over by a long shot. Do not fool yourselves into complacency. Be afraid. Be very afraid. The mRNA vaccines were the Miracle from God. And the religious orange right took a big shit on that Miracle. Doubtful and highly unlikely that we humans can make another one that would be effective enough to combat the inevitable multiple mutations in our futures.
THIS is exactly what I have been fearing. I am so sick of Covid. Hospitals are filling up again. Someone the other day was saying they were not getting the vaccine, it’s their body, not hurting anyone else, that vaccinated can spread it too. Yes, vaccinated can spread it, BUT the unvaccinated are the ones primarily landing in the hospital which stress medical staff and tied up beds for heart attacks, wrecks, etc. With the current vaccines having a much lower efficacy against the new mutations, I am afraid 2022 will be worse than 2020.
I’m over fighting the anti vaxxers. I am now team Kelly Dodd, who once said this is God’s way of thinning the herd. At the time she said it we didn’t have vaccines, people weren’t serious about wearing masks, and it wasn’t that serious. (fun fact her mother nearly died from it, and she and her husband both not only got, but then got the vaccine.).
Most of the people dying are unvaccinated BY CHOICE. Let them die or take their horse dewormer. or whatever. With Global warming we could use a bit of Darwin’s theory at this point. Especially before the next election. If you are too dumb to get vaccinated and wear a mask, you are too dumb to vote.
ByTheWay, I whole heartedly agree with everything you have said. It’s like you have heard my unspoken thoughts and put it out there for the world to hear. THANK YOU!
IJC your remarks are spot on as well. Hopefully, if people stop being silent and call bullsh*t in a somewhat civil manner to all this outrageous behavior by a large portion of the Republican Party, then perhaps we can pull this country back from an abyss that I believe we are hovering over.
Love your rant! Thank you. California also has been sending $600 checks to people affected by the pandemic. And we have a surplus. Gee, what a shit show. NOT. I love living here, in such a beautiful blue state.
I think California is just fine! Perhaps you need to relocate to Idaho or Texas or Florida. You may be with like-minded right wingers there.
Deb, I’m in Texas. If I could afford it, I’d move to Cali in a heartbeat.
Jaycee, wanna do a house swap? Full disclosure, mine comes with a mean psycho old lady (not me lol, but my mom who is certifiable off the chain cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs but she mostly stays in her room- up to you if you want to feed & water her) It’s otherwise in a nice area. Hell, I’ll still pay the HOA fees & throw in the furniture, too. I’m ready to GTFO and I’m not picky – except for climate- are you in North or South? I’d take Newsom over Abbott any day of the week.
So true!
I’m guessing OC and I’m surprised there’s only one. Dr. Jen & Nicole are at the top of my list of guesses.
“It makes me hate this show even more” and “so over this political divide”. This seems like opening an opportunity to further the divide by being critical of someone that has expressed a preference other than your own, and inviting comments about that.
Maybe some lighthearted topic for the weekend would be a better mood lifted. Maybe some ideas how to help folks either choosing to or needing to celebrate home alone. What items are people searching for to complete their shopping list? Maybe others here know who has inventory. What are some excellent treats to buy on Amazon or other for us not living within 50 mi of a grocery store, and not costing your food budget for 3 months. And so forth…
Raine, here’s thought, why don’t you start your own website post whatever you would like about your grocery lists and such. This site is primarily about reality TV.
I don’t know what world you live in, but in mine, I am perfectly content with cutting racists, QANON freak, insurrectionists, Anti-Semites, idiots who don’t believe Sandy Hook happened, Trump Supporters, Anti-vaxxers, the list is quite long, out of my life. And a much more important ones than what’s in your Amazon prime cart.
I’m of the same mindset TT. I lost a lot of hope after Sandy Hook and cannot believe conspiracy theories that think innocent grade schoolers and their teachers dying is fodder for discussions. Makes me so sad.
Tamara, your wit always cracks me up and I totally agree with every point above.
Amen to ALL of this!!!
And this is the reason I come here every day.
And this is why we still check in after all these years. Your commentary is breath of fresh air! Thank you for all you do on this site!
I see your point. It’s just hard to ignore entertainment shows such as the Real Housewives who bring the political divide into the storyline.
I’m not sure if the political division between the women will be shown or not. I feel like most of the RHOC and RHONY probably voted for Trump. Or perhaps didn’t even bother to vote but where happy under Orange rule. That said, AT THE TIME he was elected, I wasn’t really freaked out. I assumed some normal republicans would be keeping all hell from breaking loose. There just weren’t enough of them that didn’t drink the Koolaid.
I was of the same assumption. I actually believed for a (EXTREMELY) short time that he would govern as a center right moderate Republican. Unfortunately the depth of his narcissistic pathologically lying personality revealed itself all too quickly. I never would have believed so many Republican politicians would turn out to be such craven cowards.
Your reply is perfection!!
LOL–
That’s what the “Open Forum” posts are for. Or the posts urging us to share positive thoughts. There are plenty of those on this site.
This is a different post. Because it pertains to a show that is recapped and discussed on this site. So, ONLY in that context, this is news.
I live in Costa Mesa, CA, and the OC is a very passive aggressive racist county.
I saw the texts and they seemed edited to make Jen look bad. It seems like the person who released the messages deleted their own. Also, I wonder who she was talking to or trusted that turned around and released the messages.
I’ve only seen bits and pieces and just caught the gist of it. That’s why I made it a blind, because I don’t know the full story, but it seemed juicy and integral to the storylines this season. One of those behind the scenes things that might explain things to come that may not make sense.
I called Dr, Jen out on IG stories as she linked that psycho daughter in law of Tamra’s on her stories for work.
It makes you click on daughter in law’s page and she has vile untruthful stuff posted as “facts.” Dr. Jen stated that she doesn’t take sides, she just treats patients.
I told her, if you just screenshot the story or reposted her story in full on your business page it wouldn’t go to her insane page.
Well, she didn’t think she was doing anything wrong, so I stopped following her.
If you read some of her reviews it looks like she has done some weird shit to patients. I don’t think she’s as good as they present her to be.
It’s a shame, since she’s a doctor, and as a doctor who owns her practice, she should not have an opinion either way, or at least not make me go to a link of a total psycho.
You can hate Biden, but don’t support people who have baseless conspiracy theories.
“a Trumpster and hates anyone who voted for Biden.”
Like Biden voters hate everyone who voted for Trump and claims they’re evil racists.
Division is not a one way street.
Agreed. There’s too much hate.
Voted for Biden. One of my closest friends and a guy who claims to love me to pieces is for Trump, at least in the beginning. We have had many intense discussions, but never hate, because we choose to listen to each other. I don’t have time for anyone on each political side who can’t listen.
Exactly, Ali!! I see a lot of intolerance of differing opinions in the comments here. Then blaming the “other side” for the division. I’m glad you and your friend are able to talk about politics. A lot can be learned and understood by listening.
I voted for Biden. I’ve never hated “Trumpsters” or claimed all of them were racist. Maybe lots of Biden voters do hate “Trumpsters”, but I don’t see stories about them being violent like some (not all) Trumpsters. I have friends who voted for Trump both times. Big Whoopie
So, it was kind of a big whoopie, did you have a TV last January 6th. See there was an insurrection attempt. They brought weapons and nooses and were threatening to hang the Vice President of the United States for following the law. All the while the one term twice impeached disgraced orange one and is fucktard family were watching the whole thing on the TV. Not to mention the orange one bragged about being able to grab women by the pussy, supports all the weirdo racists groups, defames Mexicans, and loves the QANON morons who still think he is president because he “won the election.” Oh and the whole telling the cult members not to get vaccinated.
So yeah, kind of a “Big Whoopie”
That is a hill I would choose to die on. January 6th was some BULLSHIT. THEY ATTEMPTED A COUP! Wake up people!!
Sorry. I should’ve elaborated on “Big Whoopie”. My friends who voted for Trump both times aren’t part of QANON, believe it was an actual insurrection and don’t he because I voted for Biden. Meaning we can be friends and disagree about politics. I sincerely apologize if my “Big Whoopie” came across as insensitive and seemed like I don’t take the insurrection, QANON, Stealing The Election, etc. Serioulsy because I do. Thank you for not putting me in WL Tamara. And once again I apologize. For the record I voted for Hilary and Biden
I’m not sending anybody to WLS for this topic unless they are really deranged.
I myself considered voting for Trump. Mostly because as an honorary Libyan in my head I cannot abide her for getting our Libyan ambassadors or whatever killed. She’s a fuck up. I would not be surprised if she was on the presidential ticket in some way for the next Presidential election. UGH.
I went through a lot about who to vote for as an independent. I was VERY conflicted and furious that the choices always seem to be the lessor of two evils. I felt like Trump would sort of be a puppet for the REAL FUCKING REPUBLICANS we used to have and was running on his name. I was a republican leaning independent. I am sure I probably lost many Twitter followers as I struggled with my opinion and I am sure some of my actual friends were appalled. I thought about voting for Bernie Sanders. Which also seemed like a bad choice.
But in the end, it was clear to me that Trump seemed unstable. He mocked Mexicans, talking about grabbing women by the pussy, was clearly racist. He said MANY years ago he would run for president as a Republican because republicans are dumb and easy to manipulate. So, um, he was right about that.
But when he won, I would have never have thought how unpresidential he would be and how he would start an insurrection, or put his whole family into political positions, or pull us out of the Paris Accord, or well any of the shit he did.
So I am fine with people voted for him THE FIRST TIME. But if you voted for him THE SECOND TIME! You voted for someone who encouraged people to riot in our national’s capitol, attack our law enforcement (don’t republicans love law enforcement?) Put our representatives in danger, encourage people to vote for QANON freaks ( by the way, I am 100% convinced that MTG is the person planting the bombs.)
And now half the country if voting for lunatics because basically, out school system sucks and we need to get more people sane and smart enough to go to college to be able to learn things.
I am all for coming together as a country. However, we have millions of people that dropped out of school in the sixth grade to milk cows or whatever and have not higher level cognitive abilities at all. If they think JFK Jr is coming back to save them. HE WAS A DEMOCRAT BY THE WAY! It’s so nonsensical, They are sheep being led to slaughter and well bankruptcy because they all keep sending money to Donald Trump of all people. And he is laughing all the way to the bank.
That’s what is so sad. Can you imagine living your life based on Conspiracy Theories that are obviously (A) Fake News and (B) Never going to happen. And sending money to Trump and all the other Grifters looking to make a buck? Or hating people you’ve never even met because they don’t support the Politician you do. IMHO it sounds like a horrible way to live your life. Like you I felt like I was picking the lesser of two evils. I thought Trump would suck at Foreign Policy, didn’t have the necessary experience to be President and had different beliefs regarding issues that are extremely important to me. Why I voted for Hilary the first timd
It’s scary to think that people STILL are sending money to Trump to “Stop the Steal!” after it’s been exposed that those monies have been siphoned into his personal accounts.
The only STEAL to stop is Trump’s continual stealing from his supporters. And the benefits WE pay for because the Republicans didn’t vote to have him barred from lifetime secret service and lifetime yearly stipend.
Didn’t some German Gentiles in the 1930’ssay something like that about friends who voted for their leader?
I live in redneck upstate NY. What pisses me off is flags as big as the American flag flying on eighty foot poles with the words “Fuck Biden” for all to see. Talk about hate. How can I explain such vulgarity to my two year old granddaughter? I am disgusted at the incivility. It’s time to act as if other people have a right to a point of view different than our own. That’s the America I grew up in and want restored.
do u live near Buffalo? america flags ALL OVER
Yes. Let’s just be civil.
That’s just awful. We should be able to fly flags and not denigrate the “other side”. I mean we’re all Americans. It may be naive but I think most is us want the same basic things. But extremists on the left and right seem to take over. And they are exhausting!
Exhausted is exactly how I feel.
You are forgetting that a lot of RHNJ cast are Trumpsters.
Oh. Now you want to unite? Lol. Enjoy the Biden fascism as we BURY you in the midterms and 2024. Even moderate liberals know you’ve gone too far. We’ll NEVER meet you in the middle.
THIS!
Let me add fascism to the list of terms use while not knowing the definition–or in this case, which party should properly use the label.
Gotta say, you all are the ones being buried in large numbers every single day because you bought the former guy’s lies. Republicans are dying in great numbers from Covid. Sorry, not sorry. So WE will bury YOU.
I think it’s kind of funny that people call it fascist to mandate the wearing of masks for public safety, BUT DON’T apply the same “logic” to the laws/mandates that require food handlers to wash their hands after using the toilet.
Go ahead! “Don’t wash the poop and pee off before you make my sandwich because it’s fascist!” Chow down! Bwahahahaha!
Every time I see those “Employees Must Wash Hands” signs in a restaurant lavatory, two thoughts cross my mind: (1) I can’t believe a working-aged person needs to be told to wash her hands after using the toilet and (2) If a person is not already inclined to wash her hands after using the toilet, that sign is going to have zero effect. Ewww.
ByTheWay, I whole heartedly agree with everything you have said. It’s like you have heard my unspoken thoughts and put it out there for the world to hear. THANK YOU!
IJC your remarks are spot on as well. Hopefully, if people stop being silent and call bullsh*t in a somewhat civil manner to all this outrageous behavior by a large portion of the Republican Party, then perhaps we can pull this country back from an abyss that I believe we are hovering over.
I guess all these comments regarding January 6 and the people blaming the Republican party for being too far to the right have forgotten June 14, 2017 when Mr. Hodgkinson, a left wing political activist, had a 10 minute shootout on the practice baseball field for the annual Congressional baseball game for charity where he critically wounded two of our Republican Congressional Representatives, nearly killing Steve Scalise. There were 24 Republican Congressmen on the field that day. It was classified as a domestic act of terrorism. So hatred and insurrection has happened on both sides of the aisle. What we need is more civility as some here have suggested.
I remember. The difference, and it is a big one, is that no one incited that man. No one invited him to a rally and spent the afternoon charging him up. No one told him to march down to that baseball field and take matters into his own hands. No one told him that the election had been stolen from him and it was his patriotic duty to stop “the steal”. No one encouraged him. He acted alone.
Exactly, Lynne.
It’s also interesting to me that many here want to group all republicans together. Common sense tells me that all democrats do not think a like. Rosie O’Donnell believes 9-11 was an inside job should I assume all democrats believe that?? Not all Trump supporters or republicans believe Sandy Hook was a hoax. Many people who voted for Trump have no idea what Qanon is. A small percentage of republicans were in Washington DC on January 6th. According to USNews 56% of Republicans are vaccinated.
No one thinks it is all republicans, Lynne. The problem is there are MANY “republicans” in congress right now like Ted Cruz and Majorie Taylor Greene, and way too many others who are in the TRUMP CULT. It is up to republicans to restore their party to what it was before all the morons started voting for lunatics like Trump and his cult followers. If there were any good people running as republicans in GA I would totally consider them. However, Trump has brainwashed too many stupid people to vote republican. HE IS THE PERSON WHO DIVIDED THIS COUNTRY.
Jesus. Do you really need it explained to you how one lunatic shooting up a republican baseball game, (which was horrible, and I was still republican leaning at that time) Is different from a siting POTUS inciting an insurrection, throwing a party with his disgusting family and asslickers to watch it live, then needing to be told to do something to stop it and having to have the messaged filmed multiple times and still telling them “we love you” is the same thing?
And joined in calling for the sitting Vice President to be hanged. And with no concern for the safety of his family.
I don’t believe Democrats ever claimed the incident didn’t happen. Or claim the Domestic Terrorist was just a tourist. And mos people looked at the Republican Congressmen as indiviual human beings. Not Republicans. One of the ways to prevent hatred and insurrection on both sides is to acknowledge what happened. And hold the responsible party/parties accountable. In the case of January 6th some Republicans still refuse to acknowledge it happened. Or that people who commited criminal acts should be held accountable.
There’s a difference between Trump supports and actual Republicans. I was also GOP leaning at one point with societal leanings towards Democrat but lemme tell you… right now I’m PRO doing the right thing. These asshats with the whole ‘stop the steal’, MAGA, we’re taking our country back (seriously, taking it back from whom?! It’s OUR country, it doesn’t belong specifically to MAGA bozos). I also almost voted for Trump the first time around. I found him amusing during his Apprentice days and fairly likable. The scandals that came out didn’t immediately turn me away from his candidacy, as I knew that stuff is always blown up, and considered giving him a chance. I was not fond of Hilary Clinton and just wondered what it would be like to do something different for a change. However, what turned me away from Trump in the beginning was his mocking of people with disabilities, all the name calling, the racist propaganda about Mexico and the sly abuse of black people. I found these traits to be disgusting and couldn’t give him my vote so, in the end, I voted for the better person – Whew! am I glad I can say that today.
I believe the former guy made it a normal and bau process to abuse and attack people who didn’t agree with him. His base and followers lapped it up. Trump (aka the former guy) He fired people who were loyal to our country and what was right – only to put in place people who wouldn’t defend us, but they would defend him. Only his supporters were safe, or felt safe, and he made this his norm – it was a common, everyday practice to know that we weren’t safe in this version of ‘Merica. He brought out the racism and the scummy behaviors of his base (which also infiltrated members of the police force – and all branches of the emergency services and military). To not be ‘in’ or a supporter meant that we were infidels (smh… that made me think of a Communist country and yet… the GOP would tell us that Dems want to lean Communist).
In the end, if you still try to support and justify what happened on January 6th, you are a base individual who doesn’t deserve the country we’re trying to repair today. You are a Trumper through and through – and not a true GOP. I found it funny where (above) some dimwit said ‘we’ll NEVER meet you in the middle’…. Yes, you’re the scum I’m talking about. That’s really our only option – either meet in the middle or fail as a nation. Is that your preference? It isn’t YOUR country, it belongs to all of us
I don’t judge my friendships by political choices. I try to be a loyal friend no matter what. What i do hate is all the crime here and that I don’t feel safe driving my car around. That Christmas party in Pacific Palisades where the criminals came busting with guns and lasers and took everyone’s valuables, all the smash and grabs, robbing people at outside restaurants here. Now Criminal gangs following people home here now and robbing them. I do not support no bail and that you can steal up to 950.00 with no consequences. I don’t support all of this inflation. It costs me 100.00 to fill up my gas tank and gas is 7.00 a gallon in some cities in Calif.
Just for context, gas is $2.99 here in Maryland. Gas is a little over $3.00 in PA (next door to MD) so I’m not quite sure how/why it’s so expensive in other areas of the country.
Additional taxes per state and different refinement per state regs. We at over $5 for premium in Ca.
Ps, I guess I’d you want more comments, add some political commentary to your posts. The irony isnt lost on me.
Just curious, How is that irony? I mean, yes, duh. This is Tamara’s income – if you have your ads unblocked. We come here for free. What exactly is wrong or ironic about that? IDGI. Personally, I appreciate the space to keep it real and call the cult, idiots, and general fucktards out . IJS , please explain how it’s ‘ironic’
$7 a gallon for what? Certainly not for regular gas. If you’re trying to make a point, make it with the TRUTH not lies. Or you have no point. Gas is expensive in California. It’s almost at $5 a gallon for regular in NorCal. Nowhere near $7. And I’m paying closer to $4 than $5; it can be done.
Prices, in general, are cheaper up here in Sacramento than in the Bay Area. Gas hasn’t reached $5 per gallon, YET.
What kills me is that much of it is refined in California but it is cheaper in places where it is shipped. The same with our produce.
Watch the news and see the 7.00 gas signs in front of the gas station in Northern California. I don’t lie. I watch the news.
I’m not really sure why y’all are arguing about the price of gas in California. But you can find out the price of gas in any state and any region on the AAA site here.

Deb SF. The 7.00 gas price is in Gorda California and has been on the news. If you don’t believe me . Goggle it.
Can we just stop insulting people because of our political beliefs? TT you say that you want to, but your language when you describe the other side is despicable. I come here to be entertained not be insulted. Maybe that’s why your viewership is decreasing.
Maybe you should just stick to Fox News for your entertainment, then.
Actually, the political acts/behaviors TT accurately describes are despicable.
Here’s the thing…I can care less about any of the political beliefs. I am watching these shows because they are mindless tv that I can put on the background while I am getting ready for work in the mornings and get ready for bed in the evenings. I watch them the same way while I am grading papers and other paperwork for my classroom.
I can care less about your political beliefs, but I am getting tired of being insulted for how I believe.
Do you really want people to do that to you? Treat others the way you want to be treated. The Golden Rule is still golden today.
When I was in grade school, we got a new wooden ruler every year. They were inscribed with The Golden Rule. It was discussed at tge beginning of every school year and we were expected to follow it.
Ask grammar-school students what The Golden Rule is today. I bet 80% won’t know what you are talking about.
Same here with the rulers back in the day, Nanette. You’re probably correct. That’s so sad.
Niki, I’m a big fan of free speech. If you’re anything like me, then you appreciate “the right to be repugnant.” It’s not that I enjoy repugnance for its own sake, but repugnance is (a) subjective (one man’s vile is another man’s delight), (b) the truest test of our commitment to liberty and (c) when in the form of speech, only as hurtful as we allow.
I also appreciate the Golden Rule. In the current climate, its application sometimes requires that it be combined with the right to be repugnant and extended to extremes. I don’t want to be silenced; therefore, I welcome (or at least stomach) all speech, even the repugnant.
As for what I do with the speech I personally find repugnant/outrageous/insulting: If civil discourse is not an option, I generally either ignore and let it roll as water from a duck’s back, or I consider item (c) above, chuckle and gather it to use later as comedic material in my vlog.
You know who you are. If you sleep well at night, then you are fabulous.
