    Anybody catch the opening SNL skit from December 6th? What I enjoyed most was watching them make fun of THE LYIN' KING for sleeping. He absolutely loved sticking it to Biden "Sleepy Joe". Now he can't keep his eyes open! Such Karma coming back because we all know what an insult those SNL skits are to his ego. As Colin Jost put it, the Lying King is now going to rush to get another MRI to prove how healthy he is.
  2. He's already proven to us that he is crazy enough to pardon her. He seems to enjoy watching how far he can go.
  3. I feel lucky that conservatives on dating sites haven't trolled me. But it's probably because I won't match with someone who lists conservative as their political belief. I write my political preference as liberal, and I also write on my profile, "If you are a THE LYIN' KING supporter, we won't be compatible." What amazes me is that I still have men who message me who are conservative. I hate ghosting. It's so rude. If you are not interested, then like BobDylan wrote, be the bigger person and be honest instead of ignoring. But this is the one circumstance where I won't answer a message. Because the guy obviously didn't even bother to read my profile. And unfortunately, I'm concerned that if I do engage, it will turn ugly. Dating apps are difficult enough!

    My father lives in a retirement complex in the Phoenix area. When I visit, it feels like a completely different vibe! Do you ever miss NYC?
  5. What's frightening is that some GOP lawmakers call the boat strikes "lawful". Common sense (oh and the military code of conduct) cannot be more clear on this matter. But then again, Hitler had his officers so why should I be shocked by anything anymore?
  6. It took 6 months to finally "investigate" and report on Signalgate. How long for war crimes?
  7. I've been divorced since 2017 and have been on and off the dating sites. Here's my humble opinion, BobDylan. You feel as if you were played because dating apps are basically a game. Swiping, liking, waiting.... then....."Oooh, someone messaged me back!" The rewards are up and down with the ghosting, algorithms, and painful first dates. The only way to survive the game is not to take it personally. Believe me, I'm not above getting my feelings hurt either. However, I do find that when I set realistic boundaries "with myself", I am always in a better mindset. For those of us who still work full-time, it truly can be the easiest way to meet singles. Not that I didn't think the Captain had great advice - volunteering, card groups, pickle-ball, animal groups. However, that isn't always easy with limited free time. I was sorry to read that you felt sad and cynical. Because that was me until I changed my goals. Now I avoid burnout by not having expectations. Change your perspective about the woman who decided not to meet. Look at it not as a missed opportunity but an apparent mismatch. She was obviously not ready to date at this time.
  8. I joined this site to communicate with other liberals. If conservatives are on this site, then I will leave. I'm not here for "healthy debate/exchange" with the other side. Anyone who voted for THE LYIN' KING should be ashamed of themselves. Why on earth would I want to read their reasoning behind the most dangerous presidency in history?
  9. “Research has been consistent over time that voter fraud is infinitesimally rare and almost never occurs on a scale that would affect an election outcome,” said Alice Clapman, senior counsel for voting rights at the Brennan Center for Justice, which advocates for expanded voter access. I cannot read the link that was posted so I'm unsure if the quote above applies.
  10. Oh boy, I have a lot to say on this topic. I will not engage with anyone on a dating app that doesn't list "liberal" in their profile. I won't even "like" a person who lists moderate. Because in this climate, it's time to choose a side. To much is at stake to be wishy washy. I've had men message my profile who were moderate or apolitical. I would politely decline and explain that we would not be compatible. A few would argue "Why is it a big deal?" Umm... because I need to respect the person I'm dating.
  11. The news was sure becoming interesting regarding MTG. It started with her support of releasing the Epstein files then added her thoughts on the health care debacle. I saw an interview where she was asked if Grijalva should be sworn in (when the gutless speaker was blocking it). MTG didn't hesitate to say she should be sworn in immediately. So many Democrats were like "What is going on? I'm agreeing with MTG?" She could have had her moment of courage and become a Liz Cheney. She proclaimed she wouldn't be a "battered wife" to Donald THE LYIN' KING. But instead she let him win. I will never be a fan of hers but for some odd reason, I feel as if she could have made a difference if she stayed through the rest of her term.
