Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I think I heard the same story as Dana.
Greetings from Poland, everyone! I got in last night, it's been raining sideways all day, so I've mostly been catching up on work with only a short walk to the square -- which now has a Starbucks that wasn't here three years ago.
One of the students in class is the daughter of the Polish president, and there were big protests happening last night here regarding the abortion ban the govt is considering.
It really just made me so angry, because she's so calmly immovable in the face of actual facts. Convinced that Muslims are responsible for the violence in the US (because that's what the Koran tells them).

So, will the senate decide to quickly confirm Justice Garland on November 9th? Or will they decide that it is right and proper for President Clinton and the new Democratic Senate need to do this?
Timelies all!
Thanks for all the well wishes folks. Instead of going to services today, I will be learning how to do everyday things on one foot. Like showering. Time to look up shower seats on Amazon.
They would need to change the Senate rules to prevent a filibuster of a Supreme Court nominee, right?
Some Republicans have said they'll refuse to approve any of Clinton's Supreme Court nominees and just wait until a Republican is president.
Still can't quite get back into politics yet. Sounds like Trump didn't do great in the first debate at least. I did watch the SNL skit of the debate. Kate McKinnon can be hilarious just with her eyes.
