Actually, they have limitations on advertising in college sports. I don't think the ads can be in internal commercial breaks, just adjacencies. These are NCAA rules

Absolutely!

There may well be another SC opening in the next 2 years but if Dems have the majority, they can block another Trump appointee from even being voted on.

I'm not sure with the House. But I know the Senate Majority Leader sets the agenda in the Senate & can decide if bills proposed by senators will get a chance to be voted on. Also--McConnell being leader was why Obama's choice for SC never had the chance to be voted on. But he rushed it for Trump.

It does matter though. The leader of which ever party has the majority can decide on which legislation gets debated & voted on, can block amendments and can decide on hearings for judge nominations. It's a numbers game so we need him to keep the D by his name until he can be primaried.

I had asked her after I saw the movie if she was familiar with the story & movie and she said Oh yes! And proceeded to give me more background info. Her father worked in the coal mines so she was very aware of the events.

I have a friend who lives in S Wales near Swansea. She remembers when it happened in real life.

I remember when I first saw it some years back. I hadn't heard of it but the trailer caught my attention. I fell in love with it and remember recommending it to everyone. And now I think I'll watch it again tonight!

One of the other problems we face as far as elections, is that he is doing everything he can to suppress voters who oppose him. The Republican Party is complicit in this and the Supreme Court is giving the OK. They are trying to rig the elections.

I know! Sometimes I haven't even sat down on the sofa yet and she's there on the coffee table standing in attack mode ready to leap into my lap as soon as I start to sit. I mean, she jumps before my body is completely down.

Barb @barbohio.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
I will. She's a total Velcro cat. It can be annoying, especially when I need to get up.

Barb @barbohio.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
I've got a cat like that now. She stalks me, waiting for me to sit so she can pounce on my lap. She's there now. I have to have a throw on my lap when I sit so she doesn't snag my pants.

I'm not in MI so I just want whoever wins the primary to win the general. We need to flip the Senate. But this primary has been so contentious, it is crucial for victor to try and heal the divisions.

It seriously sounds like it was written by a 9 year old ( no offense to 9 year olds intended).

Yeah, whenever Krogers has produce on sale, it's nearly always gone bad.

They do love the yard! There’s also a wide assortment of wildlife that come by occasionally at night from raccoons to opossums.

I'm not so much surprised they are airing as by the fact they didn't announce their plans.

Barb @barbohio.bsky.social · 17/07/2026
I know. I just assumed they'd announce it if they were going to.

Really? Wow

My guess is they’ll do what NBC & ABC are doing and have it on their streaming channel.

I dunno. You’d think they’d carry it but CBS has yet to say. Affiliates need to know to make program log changes. It’s 7p now and most affiliate offices close between 5-6p.

Thank you. Understood. Both are valid points to discuss.

Got it. Need to get back to work anyway

As for Brown-not my choice but he won the primary & I want to see the Senate flipped to try and minimize the damage from Trump. I don't have a candidate for 2028 pres yet.

Yeah, folks fucking hate me. I guess I could just leave but I'm getting questions and feel like it's rude not to answer

No, not a TERF. Trans women are women. I'm very disappointed in Acton. I think her position is not only wrong but politically stupid. It was made recently and many of us are upset about it. I hate the whole "lesser of the evils" but jeez, the alternative is Ramasworthy and we need a Dem gov

Barb @barbohio.bsky.social · 13/07/2026
I'm not opposed. I'm here to listen to your points. I don't block people that disagree or attack me. I'm honestly interested.

Certainly not

I think when I said I liked Pete, people assume I'm working to get him elected to something. No, I just appreciate that he can talk about some issues I agree with him on in a way that folks understand. I don't agree with all his policies though including trans rights

Barb @barbohio.bsky.social · 13/07/2026
Hey, I've always been where I am. I don't always express myself well but the issues have always been the same for me. I appreciate having a real conversation and enjoy hearing what you say.

Barb @barbohio.bsky.social · 13/07/2026
But again the question is: are there enough leftist voters in swing/red states? The policies do have broad support but you sometimes have to spell it out to voters.
120
Barb @barbohio.bsky.social · 13/07/2026
Thank you. I appreciate it. What I'm trying to say is I think trying to explain these policies to people IS trying to pull them to the left.
120
Barb @barbohio.bsky.social · 13/07/2026
Yes. But how do you convince people who think socialism is a dirty word and think it's their taxes that will be raised no matter how much you try & explain single payer healthcare, for example.

Barb @barbohio.bsky.social · 13/07/2026
But you have to have enough leftist voters. In some states and communities, that's not the case
200
Barb @barbohio.bsky.social · 13/07/2026
I've liked this post even though you've attacked me because I agree that's who the base is and yes, they've been hurt the most.

Barb @barbohio.bsky.social · 13/07/2026
I'm not sure that's true. If you compare the Democratic platform of the 90s to the platform today, it's shifted left. Not enough for some of us but the movement is there.

Barb @barbohio.bsky.social · 13/07/2026
But I do vote

This reminds me of the scene from Angels in America where Belize has Louis read the Kaddish for Roy Cohn even though he was a horrible person

Ok, you're a kid and Reagan is a guy in the history books. Some of us lived through that shit But I don't have time for history class. I need to get up early so good night ( I'll read your bitchy responses in the morning)

Shit, I watched the fucking Iran Contra hearings.

If you think Pete's policies are like Reagan, you clearly didn't know Reagan! LMAO!!

How old are you? I'm old enough to remember ( and despise) Reagan well
