... i.e. in the slot where "The Eleventh Hour" usually airs.

1. Thanks. And at 9 pm, for 2 hours,

on CNN: RBG. 'This documentary provides an intimate look into the trailblazing life and career of octogenarian Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. It focuses on her landmark gender-bias cases in the 1970s, her ongoing ideological battles, and her marriage with Martin Ginsburg.'

5. Thanks for pointing that out ! nt

7. It is SO GOOD!

She’s a joy. A brilliant, wonderful, American hero.

2. RBG is a must see..

I saw it at the theatre a few months ago with friends and it was excellent....

3. For me, that's a pleasant change.

I'm not all that fond of Brian Williams. Though, she is a republican (one of the few who sounds and acts like a Democrat most of the time) and I'm afraid I'll end up hating on her by the end of her show if she starts up any pro-life nonsense.

6. I heard her say she's "a recovering Republican". I wonder if that means "former"?

I know her friend and frequent guest Steve Schmidt quit the RePubs in June!

[Control-Z]

8. My thinking is along the same lines.

But I guess I expected her to follow suit when Steve Schmidt left the republican party. I believe that's when she started calling herself a recovering Republican. Like you, I don't know what in hell that means. Lol. But I really like both her's and Steve's honesty and remorse about the Palin blunder. They show a decency I haven't often seen in republicans. I hope they stay on our side.

9. Her show has become a "must watch" for me!

She has excellent guests that really lay it out plainly.

Love John Heilmann. Steve Schmidt's knowledge, passion, blunt words and sincerity often move me to tears. (and scares me at the same time!)

I don't think they will ever go back to the RePubs. I see on Schmidt's twitter page he's supporting Beto in Texas!

He's wondering if anyone else sees a bit of RFK in him!

[Control-Z]

10. Same here. Everything you wrote.

Her's is the first show in the MSNBC line up that I look forward to and actually have programmed to record daily in case I have to miss it.

[Hekate]

12. Haven't you ever met someone who calls themselves a "recovering Catholic"?

I've always heard it in religious contexts -- Mormons, Evangelicals, or Roman Catholics who have bowed out of the authoritarian religion of their parents. They have reached some personal breaking point, and can't abide it any more. They cannot bring themselves to sit in the pews any more and be lectured at, to perform ceremonies they no longer believe.

Their parents and siblings don't know what brought it on and to varying degrees are hurt, alarmed, or angry. Explanations don't help.

The "recovering" person still loves their family (absent abuse), and all their deepest memories of love and belonging are wrapped up in shared events that go back to their birth. But they are alienated forever, even (or especially) when they go home for the holidays, Holy Days, for weddings, christenings, and funerals.

I have known folks like that, and the bind is that it hurts to be in that space but it hurts worse to deny your own authenticity and your own conscience, to deny the evidence of your own eyes.

I hear all those echoes when Nicolle refers to her own family, whom she loves. "When I go home for Thanksgiving, it's still Trump-land. They don't get it." And when Steve Schmidt says declaratively that he is no longer a Republican, that there is moral rot at its core and the best thing is for it to be wiped out over the next several election cycles and start over, Nicolle murmurs, "I'm a recovering Republican," I hear the pain of betrayal.

Thus sayeth Hekate; end of sermon.

13. She describes herself as "non-practicing" Republican

I'm thinking that means she hasn't changed her party registration.

[Grasswire2]

4. wah

why

[Hekate]

11. Is that permanent? West Coast time normally puts her at 1:00, which is convenient for me...

Of course The Eleventh Hour is at 8:00 pm here, which is also not bad. Oh cable -- always on East Coast time.

Anyway, she's a must watch, with her excellent panels. I wish her a long career with NBC.

14. Doubt it -- Katie Tur was guest hosting as well. nt
