Anybody watching the prequel to Dune on HBOmax?

If so, what do you think is up with this burning death that hit certain characters we won’t mention so as to not spoil it for folks? Definitely targets a specific person but don’t see how it is transmitted.

So far I think the concept is good, the acting good and the set and scenery gets an “A”.

We've been living in a fantasy world.

All the happy talk about how Trump was failing and had poorly attended events and was cratering was nonsense. It didn't matter. Contrary to the fiction of a 47%ceiling for him, we're most likely the minority now.

We were so sure the women of America would bury him him for taking away their reproductive rights but apparently plenty are happy to let Daddy make the important decisions for them so that they didn't need to worry their pretty little heads about such matters.

That their chosen candidate, Donald John Trump, was a lying con man, adjudicated rapist and felon with fascist tendencies only interested in himself didn't matter. At least he wasn't (gasp) a Democrat and that was all that really mattered in the long run apparently.

There is no Blue Wall, there's just the one that separates us from Mexico that will now be added onto. All the Jan 6th insurrectionists will be pardoned and set free to help track down libruls, and brown people for Trump to prosecute and all charges against Trump himself will now be dropped.

It's the end of democracy in America. Glad I'm old.

How ironic will it be that the Dobbs Decision is what ends up putting Trump in jail?

Hey, he asked for it, bragged about taking away many women's healthcare so they end up dying in hospital waiting rooms, ICU's and parking lots.

Actually, he's lucky he's only going to jail.

I guess Manchin was the final straw?

Come on, now he really screwed us.

Account info site absent

Don't see where to check or change password. The new "My Stuff" stuff doesn't seem to have easily accessed account info like original site or at least I can't find it. PS: IDK if I like this new format.

Hey, I have an idea!

Since the word "liberal" has pretty much been demonized beyond repair by the RW, I say we start using the term "The Woken" when referring to ourselves and I think it's a far better replacement

I say we should totally own that term in all it's forms and I think it sounds, not only like a group who's wide awake and aware, but also strong and even a bit ominous.

IDK, what do you guys think?

Personally, I'm going to start using it and spread it everywhere politics are discussed and even in a few places where it is not.

Had to go over and see how Fox was playing this.

Did you know that Joe Biden is personally in charge of prosecuting President Donald Trump just because he wants to eliminate his political opponent who will beat him really, really bad otherwise? Also, he's a great big mean poopie head who's also a major criminal along with his whole family and the entire state of Delaware. Besides, Joe Biden had just tons of Top Secret documents in his garage under his Corvette which is way more serious than what President Trump didn't even do in the first place, so there!

Poor, beleaguered President Trump had no idea those boxes of classified documents were there or weren't given back when asked. But apparently he declassified them anyway. Apparently, Joe Biden personally led an army of FBI agents to break into Mar a Lago like a gang of thugs, who all had it in for poor President Trump along with their entire evil organization. Also the DOJ and Joe Biden's meat puppet, Merick Garland, really hate Trump too and will do anything to bring him down.

Also, Hillary Clinton is involved in this witch hunt in some fashion even though she had millions of secret documents in a server she bleached. One guest didn't think the country would put up with them picking on poor President Trump and Democrats were just horrible monsters and enemies of the State.

Fox has manufactured a whole different universe for their viewers to live in totally divorced from reality.

Tropical storm conditions possible in Florida early next week.

Don't know how this would affect voting if it came to pass or who it would effect more... R's or D's.

Kind of a wildcard at this point.

If the Repugs take back Congress ... there'll be no stopping them.

They'll figure if overturning Roe doesn't motivate enough Dems to vote, why they'll put up with whatever we decide to do.

Next on the chopping block ... birth control and LBGTQ protections and after that, SS, Medicare and Medicaid.

Oh, and elections.

A important audience may well miss out on the final Jan 6 Hearing.

I refer, of course, to Florida Man or less sarcastically to the good people of Florida (such as myself) who will no doubt be preoccupied with what may well turn out to be a major hurricane.

We don't know at this point where the storm will make landfall but loss of electricity for many is probably a given since the electric companies usually turn it off on purpose for safety concerns until the wind dies down and they can assess whatever damage may or may not have occured.

Sure, they can watch it later at some point if they care to and the MAGA's will no doubt ignore it altogether anyway but there may still be moderate GOPers and independents who could possibly be persuaded.

Add to that the fact that the major networks will be covering the hurricane instead and that the event itself would normally displace any other story and will certainly be excuse to do so mid week.

Unfortunate.
