I do not know what all to post
in this introduction of mine right now. I’m writing this in advance so I will
not know for sure what all there is to say even in a mostly worthless
introduction. All I know is that there is a lot for me to talk about, but not
much potential time to write it all.
В вопросе
«Времени» с 2 октября 2017 года обсуждаются многие вопросы. Они задаются
вопросом, кто должен возглавлять демократов в будущем. Именами являются Джо
Байден, Берни Сандерс, Элизабет Уоррен, Камала Харрис, Джулиан Кастро, Эрик
Гаркетти, Кирстен Гиллибранд, Эми Клобучар, Джефф Меркли, Джейсон Кандер, Сет
Моултон и Пит Буттиг. Писатель ведущей истории считает, что демократы находятся
в беде, когда он опубликовал ее, но в будущем многое выиграл.
There’s
actually an update to tell you about the shows on DVD (or other formats) that I
watch. You see, mystery choice #4 is now gone and has been replaced with
recorded shows on tape. Be lucky if you read this blog because my Good Wife
blog isn’t going to mention that the choice is gone. It will return at some
point so we’ll see if it is mentioned in this blog in the future or not. This
does mean that Survivor: Borneo is now the fifth thing that I roll instead of
the sixth.
It was on Saturday, October 20, 2018
that I rolled a five and got to watch the show again. It wasn’t long after the
list change that I rolled the choice. I don’t know what else might change with
the lists so we’ll have to wait and see what changes could and might hopefully
come soon.
One of the
senators that we’ve had the longest is Iowa senator Chuck Grassley. He may not
know this, but I, a strong liberal, actually like him and admire him a lot. I
even told him this when I emailed him about a subject. I don’t know if he knows
that I actually feel this way. I wasn’t just saying that in order to try to
sway his opinion, especially when it wasn’t likely to change anyways. But I do
like how he was able to do the hearings as well as he could have despite all
the hardships with protestors and the like. I have a lot of respect for someone
who could keep things as civil as possible.
Something
that you might have heard about this year is the idea of blue wave 2018
happening. We will not know for sure if it will become a reality or not.
Hopefully, it will and the latest atrocity that Trump did to the Supreme Court
will be his last accomplishment as president. In fact, that may be the reason
why Democrats could win big. They did well in 2012 due to a lot of dumb people
being in the races. Now there could be outrage over an accused sexual predator
being given a job for life.
One of the
things that could jeopardize this is that Joe Manchin, a Democrat up for
reelection this year, voted in favor of Brett. It makes me think of a meme
where he’s seen casting the vote in favor of him and Kylo Ren shouts out:
traitor! Of course, if Democrats don’t vote for him and his seat turns red,
this could change the whole process of taking control of the senate and make it
more difficult for us to win the seats that we need. It’s a catch 22 really.
They have to vote for him or they are hoping that we can lose that seat while
gaining three others instead of just two.
I have been
making some donations to various politicians this year. And I plan to make more
in 2020 and 2022. I do not yet know if I will donate to anyone is 2024 yet. But
there was a test people didn’t know that they took. There are only three
solutions to it: I don’t care, they passed it, or they failed it.
With Mitch
McConnell in control of way too much, he seems to be adopting a strategy
typically seen by dumb college students of doing things at the last minute. He
seems to want to put forth anything that Trump does as good and won’t let
people read bills they are voting on, see documents of people that they are
trying to confirm, and is now getting annoyed at any possible thing that could
delay anything. He is so gung ho about doing any dangerous thing nowadays, he
reminds me of this scene from Rogue One of just how bullheaded he can get.
I do not
understand why people thought that what Jeff Flake did over the Brett Kavanaugh
hearings was a good thing. Sure, he voted to do a background check to move
things forward. But if Jeff hadn’t done that, then people wouldn’t have voted
for him and Brett wouldn’t be on the Supreme Court right now. We all knew that
he is leaving the senate on January 3rd of 2019 so there’s no reason
why he couldn’t have stood up against such dangerous ideas and voted against
Brett. What he did seems far more like a cowardly person to me. His retirement
alone was already like that. It makes me think of this scene from the movie The
Wizard of Oz.
Even though
Jeff Flake is retiring
The Supreme
Court was hiring
And just
like a dope
He cast a
yay vote
With common
decency left crying
Movie
update: I was too busy on Friday and Saturday to have watched any movies, but I
did see what I wanted to on Sunday. I saw Celtic Woman: A New Journey and will
replace it with Celtic Woman: Songs from the Heart. Hopefully, I can have
normal movie watching times in the future.
At 5:40, I
checked to see what was on TV. My main CBS affiliate was showing a game of the
Washington Redskins versus the Dallas Cowboys. The Redskins are winning. There
will be a double header on this network tonight so this is certain to start
late tonight. FOX isn’t airing a game when I check.
When I turn
into my other CBS affiliate, they are airing a game of the Rams versus the San
Francisco 49ers. The Rams are winning 32 to 10. Since the Rams are still
undefeated and the Chargers are not, I have thus not kept track of which team
is doing better.
Apparently,
since the Rams game was too boring, both affiliates are now airing the same
game that the Redskins are winning since the score is closer and more likely to
change who is winning. But then the score changes as the Redskins increase
their lead.
While I’m
still kind of upset that I won’t see what will happen with the Rams game, I
know that when they are airing a game that could run long of two west coast
teams, I would understand why you would not want to air it on the east coast.
If games run late on the west coast, they normally wouldn’t get any delay that
would annoy people like here on the east coast (or Central Standard Time for
me). I will have to check the final score later unless I hear it on TV.
The score
changed again and now the Cowboys have less of a gap between themselves and the
Redskins even if the Redskins are still winning. An update at the bottom of the
screen shows that the Rams now have 39 points in their game while the 49ers
haven’t changed at all. A last second attempt to tie the game at the end of 4th
quarter fails and the Redskins win. In an eerie coincidence that the announcers
are able to predict, it is the same score when the two teams last played in
this location in the 90s. This almost makes me think things are rigged, but I
doubt that it is.
I switch to
watching an episode of Bob’s Burgers since they are probably just going to air
not much of what could be on elsewhere. It is probably an old episode. It is
Halloween related so it might have aired sometime last year. I doubt that they
would air a new one at 6:30. I see a commercial during the first break when I
check CBS and see 60 Minutes when I check during the second one. I’m able to get
an eye alert and see for sure when the show starts.
Today’s
episode is brought to you by 37 minute delay. We begin in Italy. Maybe I should
put in an Italian paragraph at some point. Elizabeth is showing up at jury duty
and someone doesn’t know that she is the secretary of state, mistaking her for
a real housewife. She calls Blake despite the fact that cell phones are not
allowed in most courthouses and especially not in courtrooms as you so often
see on television. Henry is starting a new job. She talks to a person named
Mike about what’s going on.
She gets
excused from serving. While someone wanted her to wait for some reason, we
might not see why. The judge has some minor issues with passport problems his
wife was having. She talks to a person named Caitlyn who winds up getting
advice from her. There are issues with factories of some sort. We then see
Elizabeth wanting to go to fashion week since it will help in some way.
In segment
two, Elizabeth is talking to an Italian person via Skype. We never would have
had a show like this before Skype. She talks about what is going on with the
president. They might be picking a fight with China as a result. Alison is
thrilled that she is going to fashion week. Henry had funny password issues
where he had to create a password just to get rid of it. He phrased in better. We
do get to more of the random Chinese guy that shows up from time to time. I
should really remember his name. China has announced tariffs. I’m always amazed
by how they can do current events on this show despite it being much different
people in power. Elizabeth is told to think better in the future.
In segment
three, Conrad might want to do retaliatory tariffs against China. Conrad is
smart by realizing that he shouldn’t do any trade wars. Someone shows up to
Daisy’s office and a nun shows up. I do not really get all of this. Daisy is
too worried because of the attack that happened. She doesn’t want to kill
someone’s dreams. Why was the
foreign person talking in English to his child? You know, we are mean usually
with other languages. Many people from non English speaking countries learn
English and when we see others speaking other languages, we just tell them to
speak ours instead of us learning theirs. No wonder they are so much smarter
than us. Elizabeth learns that the Chinese secretary is on the short list to
becoming president of his country.
In segment
four, we get back to Caitlyn from earlier. Mike is the defense counsel. He is
able to make a good case for her. She gets a good deal out of it. She didn’t
quite understand all of it. Elizabeth wants to help with the mostly unseen
message and solve the barely focused upon issue as usual. Daisy gives a tour of
the 7th floor to the nun’s students. While they don’t meet
Elizabeth, they get to meet Conrad who is visiting there. I do wonder who there
would have preferred Elizabeth to Conrad. I do remember that Obama met the
members of Celtic Woman in 2009 and I was very jealous of him. Elizabeth
tells people about the factory issues that she wants to address while trying to
possibly pander to the fashion issues while still getting her point across.
Elizabeth criticizes China for not being there at the meeting place.
In segment
five, it turns out that the Chinese president is naming himself as his own
successor. That does not make that much sense. The diplomat wants to make sure
that no other stunts are done in this whole tit for tat that goes on. She is
sorry that he might have missed out on what is going on. Elizabeth does not
think that she is actually solving problems. I do not get the rake metaphor.
Perhaps it went over my head. Then again, nothing goes over my head. I’m far
too swift. This does make Elizabeth doubt whether or not she should run for
president since she can’t do as much good as she would like. But we did see
that with Obama. Of course, that was largely due to the obstruction from the
wrong.
Elizabeth
tells Mike that she does in fact want to run for president. She wants to run on
criminal justice reform. That’s a good campaign slogan. Well, that’s not
actually a slogan of some sort. But if you run on a good issue, you want it to
work. Don’t promise things that you can’t grant. Look at term limits. So many
people run to enforce them and make no efforts to do it. Something odd seems to
be going on in China and I wonder if this recurring character is up to
evilness. But this largely seems like a memorial of some kind that I don’t
quite get. The episode ends next.
On the next
Madam Secretary, a war debt or warrior of some sort appears to be being held
for ransom for some reason. A soldier would make more sense. I do not get it
yet. I guess that we will see what happens with this show when it happens.
Let’s just hope that it starts happening at 9 instead of later. For now, this
is Adam Decker, signing off.
