Zsa Zsa's leg

Then why post in here? Lol

Never actually seen her show, just the gifs, and is this the appropriate thread to discuss that?

We did, four days ago. If you want to constantly complain, at least be on time with your passive agressive remarks. I'm sure they'll be welcome somewhere else.

A recent poll has shown that Lieutenant Governor Casey Cagle's lead has substantially narrowed in the Republican Primary Runoff for Governor of Georgia against gun-toting State Secretary of State Brian Kemp. Lieutenant Governor Cagle has apparently been caught up in a few scandals recently, and Brian Kemp is Brian Kemp, whoever wins this Primary will probably have a difficult time against Democratic Nominee Stacey Abrams, who could be the country's first black female Governor if elected, and the first Democratic Governor in Georgia since Roy Barnes in 2003. Georgia is trending heavily Democratic, with Atlanta growing and rural populations narrowing, pundits seem to agree Georgia could be a pivotal swing state in the next few election cycles. In my opinion, Cagle deserves to lose after he refused a tax cut for Delta Airlines because they ended discounts for NRA members after the MSD Shooting ; although, Brian Kemp agrees with Cagle on the Delta issue. My rating for this race: Lean GOP. Downgrade from Likely GOP due to the collapse of Cagle's lead and Kemp being Kemp. This certainly can't hurt Abrams.

January: Thomas Monson February: Billy Graham March: Stephen Hawking April: Barbara Bush May: Alan Bean June: Xxxtentacion (Spade, Bourdain, and Jackson close behind)

Probably terminal cancer and she won't see July. But in all seriousness, this is likely a nothing burger, it's a miracle she doesn't always feel unwell at 92 and being one of the longest serving heads of state.

I'll attempt to make a brief post, unlike this one. 1. Fearmongering and melodrama it is not, genuine discomfort and worry over some of the most important issues in recent history it is. This next court will make new decisions on issues that either have already been resolved by the court and are being challenged again or are just now being introduced to the court. If this ignorance over the power the Supreme Court has, especially with a more conservative bench, helps you sleep at night, then so be it. 2. Yes, I know most are British, is that relevant? Not necessarily. 3. Rumors swirl over every Justice and their possible retirement, especially older ones like Kennedy himself, and Clarence Thomas, who was also speculated to retire this year. This retirement was ultimately not expected, if he didn't retire in 2017, some analysts said he would probably either be a lifer or hang on for a few more years. This wasn't totally expected. 4. I don't disagree with you on abortion at all. I am pro-life myself, I just care about precedent, the court's integrity, and ultimately the safety of our country. Our President promised to appoint judges that seek to reverse Roe V. Wade, and this President isn't too keen on breaking promises, no matter how outrageous or damaging they are. Roe v. Wade is definitely in jeopardy, but as I said, if it helps you sleep at night. Of course not all women are pro-choice, I don't think that's up for debate. 5. Not sure what voting demographics has to do with the retirement of Justice Kennedy. Despite younger voters consistently having lower turnout (you can't change that, young people simply don't care to vote largely because of GOP policies targeted at younger voters and minorities to prevent them from voting their asses out), a Republican hasn't won the popular vote since 2004, and before that, the last time it happened was 1988. Ultimately, the President makes a nomination to the court, and unless they want a constitutional crisis, the Congress will likely confirm any middle of the line nominee that's not batshit like Harriet Miers or Jeanine Pirro. This debate is interesting, and you definitely have wiser words than mine. I'd be interested in transitioning this discussion over to our messages because I do think it's important, just not in the actual death part of the forum.

Very interesting to have somebody from the district have input on this race. I do have a few questions. 1. Were you bombarded with campaign mail and flyers from the Crowley campaign? I've seen pictures of piles of mail from Joe Crowley and wanted to know if it was an isolated incident or if it was true. Also, did Crowley absorb the airways? And did AOC even come close to Crowley's amount of campaigning? 2. Do you really think Nixon has a shot at beating Cuomo? and do you think Cuomo will hold onto minority voters in NYC or more voters in upstate NY, or which area will Nixon do the best in? 3. Did you vote for Crowley in the past? And why do you think Crowley lost by a 15 point margin when some pundits predicted a 70-30 win for Crowley?

Not my predictions, haven't made any predictions in here. This is an election coverage and analysis thread. The mods can feel free to change the title if people are that mad.

I would love if Trump nominated his sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, an 81-year-old inactive federal judge. She's actually quite liberal and apparently pro-choice. Maybe she's a future DDP pick.

Yeah. Family dynasties in America are rare unless you're a Senator that dies and the Governor appoints the wife out of courtesy, the Bush's are a large scale outlier. It's unlikely any of Kennedy's family members are qualified for the job unless they're a judge themselves. Trump can go either way with this nomination, and neither will satisfy everybody. He can choose to win over swing voters with a Kennedy-esque moderate swing vote to honor Reagan's legacy and avoid a difficult confirmation battle. Or, he can choose a conservative Trumpist that would struggle to be confirmed, but excites the base. Neither of these choices matters in the grand scheme of things, Supreme Court appointments may be large achievements for an administration, but the historically Democratic white working class in the midwest won't care. Instead, Romney>Clinton voters will care as they trend Democratic and become more politically involved. These Romney-Clinton districts are primarily occupied by suburban Republicans thay are retiring and are especially vulnerable to flip in November. If Trump were smart, he would appoint a moderate to not give these voters another reason to vote Democratic.

I hope that Kennedy can try to get into Trump's mind and ask him to nominate somebody he agrees with more, instead of somebody like Bill Pryor. This nomination goes on for so much longer than the end of Trump's term in 2021 or 2025, if the nominee is like Gorsuch and around the age of 40-50, this court will be 5-4 conservative for decades until Clarence Thomas leaves.

Exactly. It's impossible for a pro-choice conservative, the few of whom that exist, to be nominated by Trump, or even confirmed in our GOP Senate. If said pro-choice conservative is from a state where there is just ONE pro-life Senator, it's likely that the Senator will turn over their blue slip on the nominee. The notion that a "pro-choice conservative" will be appointed to be a federal judge, let alone the highest court of the land, is ridiculous

I say we all pray for the health and lifetime appointments of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer until there is a Democratic Senate.

If Trump nominates another 40-something-year-old conservative, that doesn't have any extreme positions that would cause Collins and Murkowski to flip in the Senate confirmation vote, the court will be a 5-4 party line rubber stamp for Trump's GOP. Clarence Thomas isn't even 70 yet, it'll be decades before another conservative Justice retires or passes away. Now, more than ever, women's health is in deep jeopardy. Roe V. Wade will be gone by June 2019 if a Trumpist is confirmed. If this terrifies you, please email, call, and talk with Senators Lisa Murkowski, John McCain. Jeff Flake, Bob Corker, Susan Collins, and John Neely Kennedy, because once this nominee is confirmed, there's no going back, especially since Breyer and Ginsburg are aging and Trump has shots to replace them with conservatives.

Breaking: Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy to retire on July 31st. He is 81 years old. Now, Trump has the power to nominate a replacement and likely pass them through the Republican Senate.

You'd be surprised. At Trump's recent South Carolina rally (not the.... wealthiest state), he bragged about his tax bill eliminating O'Care's individual mandate, which helps insure at least half of that crowd.

I was very excited over Ocasio's victory too, but do I think this means that the Democratic party will embrace Berniecrats and Justice Dem's? No. Upsets happen, just like the one I mentioned with Eric Cantor and Dave Brat in VA-07, and one almost happened in IL-03 with Dan Lipinski and Marie Newman. I guess minority voters got tired of Crowley's machine politics, ties to Democratic leadership, and his refusal to even live or send his kids to school in the district. His sh!tty debate performance didn't help either. I do think that AOC's victory sends a message to progressives and JD's just like her: stop focusing on swing districts and try taking swings at incumbent, white Democrats in heavily minority districts, that are sick of their representation. The populist tone definitely leaves a vacuum for upsets like AOC's 15-point victory last night. I say that Steve Cohen, Pete Visclosky, Dan Lipinski, David Price, Basically the entire Democratic delegation of California, and plenty others should be terrified of this movement, especially if they don't regularly hold town halls and reach out to their constituents.

True, but Cornett is definitely a better candidate than Lamb. Brad Henry was only elected because back in 2002, Democrats didn't just focus on swing states and districts, they focused on every district and state. Today's Democratic Party however is prioritizing a "red to blue" list for their midterm operations, meaning rural states and districts won't receive party funds and the outside chance that one gets elected is essentially thrown out the window. I'm not seeing much attention being thrown to Edmondson, albeit it is the primary season. I'll be surprised, but definitely happy if Edmondson wins, because Oklahoma surely needs a good Governor after Mary Fallin' Apart is done with her term.

Richard O'Sullivan, Abby Lee Miller, and Javier Perez De Cuellar stick out to me.

One of the posts I saw called it the first, I guess they mistook it for the notion that it was the first posthumous #1 since Biggie. Fake news wins again I guess.

Xxxtentacion has become the first artist to receive a #1 song posthumously with his song "SAD!" skyrocketing from #52 to #1. Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" only hit #3 after her death in 2012 and Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and "Man In The Mirror" both hit #2 in the weeks after his death. Thankfully, YouTube views and Non-Premium Spotify streams won't count in the Billboard algorithm after July, so artists like Post Malone and Drake won't be able to hog the #1 spot for weeks on end.

Geez. I always thought he was around 90, not 77. Anyways, RIP.

Never knew Joni Mitchell existed until somebody posted in her thread a couple days ago. ALM is a cultural icon.

Not sure why the GOP is so mad over this. Didn't they just applaud the Supreme Court for siding with a baker that refused service to a gay couple? Now they're mad that restaurants are refusing service to Sarah Slanders and Stephen Miller. Maybe they're just upset that a woman, let alone a black woman, has the guts to stand up to the 'ol grump, when grown ass men don't. Go Maxine, go!
