Since I didn’t get to much of
it in the last post, here is what I promised to start telling you about. With
the sports of football, hockey, and baseball, I have anti-teams where I root
for whoever is playing the team. If you are the lowest level, I always root for
the team that is playing against you. If you are the next lowest level, I will
only root for you if you are playing the main anti-team.
With football, I now have four
anti-teams. The lowest level is the fucking Patriots who are on there for a
good reason: beating the Rams in the 2002 Super Bowl. The next level anti-team
is the Chicago Bears due to my distaste for all things Chicago. The third level
anti-team is the Arizona Cardinals because they left St. Louis long before I
cared about any teams. And now the Atlanta Falcons are anti-team four. At least
they are out of the play-offs now. After the Super Bowl, I’ll get into the new
four teams that I’ll be rooting for after the nine that I already do. I might
even root for the Eagles after the other teams that I’m rooting for as well. I hope to explain more soon, when I'm not too busy with things.
If you have paid attention to
the news: good for you. Most of the sources that I use to keep track of the
news are real ones. In fact, I haven’t read The Onion in a really long time and
almost don’t even care about it anymore even if it is normally funny when I’ve
read it. It almost seems irrelevant in this era of Trumpism that I spend any
time with news satire. He thinks that everything is fake news. But he has yet to
call out something that actually was fake.
Stephen Glass is someone who
made up news stories and he got in huge trouble for it, making the place he
worked for (interesting, the only in-flight magazine of Air Force One) look bad
when they fired him and they admitted what happened. People don’t seem to
realize how bad it is to fabricate news. I have the feeling that Trump really
did call countries shitholes and once the news got wind of this, he went on the
usual attack. Trump is a well known liar with little to no creditability. Why
would tons of different news sources be getting things wrong all the time and
him be the only reliable source?
As potential Russian collusion
continues to dominate the headlines, Trump continues to act guilty of something
when an innocent or at least smarter person would just let the investigation
happen and see what will become of it instead of trying to thwart every effort
into trying to find the truth. During all this, I found a much better story
that has nothing to do with the Russians that could be the end of Trump and his
administration. If it is true, it would explain the October surprise by James
Comey that might have been the reason Hilary Clinton lost the election.
В декабре девятнадцатого в
2016 году Time выпустил свой выбор Person of the Year, и те, которые, по их
мнению, были достойны, приблизившись к нему. Их номер три был хакерами. Page
102 начинает эту историю. Время называет взлома базы данных DNC «самыми
печально известными взломами после Уотергейта». Вы могли бы подумать, что это
послужит напоминанием о том, что Никсон помог пробиться в место, чтобы выкопать
грязь своему противнику в 1972 году. В конце концов из-за этого пришлось уйти в
отставку. Мы еще не знаем наверняка, что Трамп имел какое-либо отношение к
русским хакам. Но мы знаем, что русские взломали DNC и заставили их выглядеть
плохо.
You might be wondering why I’m
always reading Time this late. I procrastinate. Of course, you probably knew
this already if you were a fan of this blog from the beginning as this is the
fourth season of the show and the first time that I’m actually doing the posts
shortly after a new episode aired. I try to make sure that I’m never a whole
year behind on Time. But it has an interesting life. The person who first gets the
copy of Time that I read is my grandfather. Then, it goes to my mother. After
that, I read it. Then my brother gets it rather late yet still reads some of
what he cares about.
If I left a note for him
saying that I want the copy back, then I will get it back at some point which
is when I will do the random paragraph in Russian that I do from time to time.
Just know that you will only see one Russian paragraph per post even though I
might have more written and translated before then. That is why you could get a
lot. And I’ll keep doing them for as long as I want to, even if Trump has left
office. People are already counting down the days like others did with Obama.
Now for something that isn’t
political. You see, I had been alternating between watching seasons one of
NCIS: Los Angeles and NCIS. Well, the next episode in line in NCIS: Los Angeles
is a Christmas one, so I’ll be taking it out of my rotation so NCIS season 1
can stay in the main place on the list for a while. I hope that I can do the
next change in time, but I think that I will be shaking things up for a while.
Now back to political things.
I may alternate between random political things and random other things, but
since there was such a long time without a new episode, there’s a lot to talk about.
For one, there is this memo that I just don’t understand at all. Is it supposed
to be downright confusing? If the answer is no, I have yet to see something to
disprove that.
There is a notable schedule
change to tell you about. You see, Timeless is returning and will air at the
same time as this show. I’m only telling you this because I’m going to be
watching Timeless like I did with 10 Days in the Valley when it aired. I just
hope that Timeless comes in when I want it to.
Illinois United States Senator
Tammy Duckworth is pregnant. It’s nice knowing that Ted Cruz isn’t the only
baby in the senate right now. Of course, I do wonder what important votes could
end up happening around the time of the baby’s birth. Knowing Republican’ts,
they would wait until such a time to bring up important legislation. If only
Tammy were in the Illinois senate. Then, people would vote with her switch on
her behalf. Of course, they shouldn’t be doing that, yet it happens. I wish
that I were making it up, but I have seen video proof of it happening.
When it comes to the rolling
list of mine, The Andy Griffith Show episodes that were on the list has since
been taken off. It will be replaced by Survivor: Borneo. I will tell you in
this blog in a different font what all the times I roll and watch a new episode
will be. This could also affect when blogs of mine, including this one, are
updated. I’ll explain in other posts why posts might be changed. Also be on the
lookout for political posts to start on Saturdays in the future. This makes my
current list of choices Charmed season 3, Farscape season 3, NCIS season 1,
Survivor: Borneo, mystery choice #2, and recorded shows on tape. Survivor is
currently number four on the list.
Eric Greitens, the
Republican’t governor of Missouri, seems to be in growing problems. He might
have tried to do something akin to revenge porn if not exactly that. Now he was
actually indicted on charges. Could he wind up being the next governor to
resign? Will he be impeached? Or will this be a dent in his continuing
governorship? This could even affect the completely unrelated race for US
Senate in that state. Maybe I’ll have to ask my Missourian brother more about
this sometime. I just don’t know if he is following the story or not. But
Alabama had problems with a governor. Could Missouri be next?
You may know from reading
other blogs of mine that I have a list of movies that I like to watch from. It
has fallen into a bit of a state of disrepair. I have only one list now with
three choices on it instead of six. I will be going back to six choices
whenever I can. I’ll then be adding other lists as needed. I just know that
when I roll a Survivor episode, I have to update my TV blog (although this will
change if the roll is on a Saturday). And I will want other blogs not to change
when they are posted.
This means that if I roll
something that conflicts with the following days of the week: Thursdays
(Survivor blog now, will be Elementary blog later), Wednesdays (Survivor from
the end of March until around at least December), or Tuesdays (this blog,
potentially, although it is subject to change and last in line), I’ll want to
expand the choices and put a new movie list on one of those days.
This Trump presidency has made
me feel a way that I never thought I would: I miss George W Bush. I mean, Bush
might have been a bad president, but at least he was and is a nice guy. He just
couldn’t really lead the country well. He might suffer from the same problems
that Bruce Rauner does. Well, Bruce has the partisanship problem to deal with
that I don’t think that Bush did (at least, not to the same, extreme levels
that Bruce does). But I might remember Bush better than I have in the past.
I need to talk more about
sports here in this blog. March Madness starts sometime this month. But I need
to mention the tier two teams of football (there’s four of them to add) that I
will be rooting for. I might even need to rearrange the order of the nine main
ones that I root for and I’ll add the Eagles to the teams too, maybe at tier
three.
Let’s see if I can quickly go
through all of the political things that I think are relevant in some way or
another. There is a rumor that Mitt Romney could be secretary of state, only it
supposedly did not happen because the Russians didn’t approve. I don’t buy
this. Romney was never a supporter of Trump. Alabama has voted to get rid of
special elections. Maybe they’ll regret it someday like I hope that the
Republican’ts regret doing the nuclear option for Supreme Court justices.
Speaking of that, what’s with
all these rumors that Anthony Kennedy is going to retire? Is there any truth to
them? And relating to gerrymandering, I’d appreciate the Democrats trying to
get rid of it if only I knew that they have never benefited from it themselves.
Also, the Russian trolls should learn English and not attack people in the
Republican Party that they consider to be RINOs.
Republican’ts sure like to
attack the Clintons as if they matter still to the general world. Even Monica
Lewinsky is joining the attack by suddenly saying that her relationship with
him wasn’t consensual despite having never claimed that for over 20 years thus
far. But they should never be quick to point the finger at someone considering
all of the issues that Stormy Daniels brings to the already complicated
relationship that Trump brings to their party. If they want to look good, they
wouldn’t be so quick to forgive someone who isn’t even sorry or admitting that
he did something wrong.
I’m now on page four of this
blog post and I have talked very little about Madam Secretary thus far. I
wonder if there are some people who don’t even read this blog for the part on
the show that I do always get to in non-purely political posts. Or there might
be people who just ignore everything except what relates to this show in
question. I wonder if I should start mentioning the cast member who left this
cast to see what her future career will be now.
There’s a show called
Deception that will be airing against this show. I would be interested in it,
but I don’t think that I care enough. Plus, it looks like it could just be
Castle with a magician instead of a writer and thus, not very original.
It turns out that there wasn’t
much on tonight on TV. FOX preempted their planned programming for some dumb O
J Simpson special. I could not care less about him. I think that society as a
whole would be better off if they just take their obsession with the case and
let it go. I don’t have an opinion about him and feel that I shouldn’t have to.
I was a freaking toddler when the case was happening. Why do so many people
care about something that they can’t change? If he confessed, that wouldn’t be
able to overturn his innocent plea. That’s not how US law works regarding
double jeopardy. I will ignore any and all things that focus on him. I
shouldn’t even be writing this paragraph as that gives the impression that I do
care about the whole thing.
There is something else to
tell you about. I will be watching the new show Instinct when it starts. If I
like it, then I’ll probably keep watching it until the end. It was supposed to
start tonight, but it didn’t as they pushed it back a week. I don’t know why
they changed it. But with March Madness happening and them likely to have shows
delayed next week, you’d have to wonder why they cut it for an additional
episode of 60 Minutes. If I had to guess, I’d say that they didn’t want ratings
to be affected by the time change and thought that March Madness could boost
the ratings of it.
Today’s episode is brought to
you by no delay. We begin with Alison arriving home from college for a bit to
get away from a roommate that she feels is clingy. Elizabeth meets with the
acting president and a person from Sri Lanka. There are spirits talking to the
person who says that they shouldn’t do the whole trade deal thing. Kat seems to
be the most skeptical of the whole thing. The man says that Daisy will find
love again, Matt feels lonely, and Kat should accept a call from her brother.
Alison arrives back at her campus where it seems that her roommate attempted
suicide.
In segment two, we learn that
the roommate survived what happened. This person had suffered from anxiety and
depression in the past. Elizabeth is able to change the terms of the original
deal so that the spirits would look kindly upon it. Alison thinks that Jason
broke her nightlight which leads to a fight between the two of them. His controller is broken because of the fight.
In segment three, Alison
continues to feel affected by what was going on. They bring up the family
member that died because of suicide. Was that last season? I’d have to remember
when it aired so that I can look it up again for more information. There are
more issues with the trade deal. Matt wonders if he is the lost love of Daisy
that she should wind up with.
In segment four, the roommate
has to move out. China might be taking advantage of the situation with the Sri
Lanki country by giving them a bad deal of some sort. Elizabeth still needs to
straighten some things out for things to work out well.
In segment five, the acting
president thinks that they should pull out of the trade deal since someone was
trying to pull a fast one. It seems to some that they might have wasted their
time with the whole deal. Maybe Matt will try to be back with Daisy again. But
will it happen? Elizabeth and Henry are really concerned about Alison and she
decides to live at home for at least the rest of the semester.
On the next Madam Secretary, there
was a bad deal, it seems, and bad things happen because of the bad deal. What
all does this mean? I don’t know. It is hard to tell for sure. Remember that
new blog posts will be on Tuesdays. This was on a Wednesday because I moved it
for the day in favor of another blog of mine. But these posts will be on
Tuesdays until further notice. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
