Pretty sure I can pinpoint the exact moment too: Colin Powell's UN presentation. Like I don't really want to generalize 300 million people but well, it just loving keeps happening doesn't it? And I know a whole bunch of y'all aren't voting for this poo poo, but gently caress you aren't exactly preventing this poo poo from happening either now are you? Case in point: Schumer, Chuck. And all these other worthless loving democrats who just decided to deregulate the banks. And now a bunch of you are going to tell me how well there's just like, nothing they can do man because the electoral system and the constitution and blabla welp what can you do? All that poo poo is just ink on paper. I'm not saying changing this poo poo will be easy, but meanwhile there's now an actual non-zero chance of nuclear war. A very real chance of more non-nuclear war. And climate change being an absolute catastrophe is a near certainty. And it's primarily because of Americans. The same ones who haven't been able to shut up for 2 minutes about how amazing and awesome they are ever since I started talking to them. Well guys, loving prove it. Do loving anything.

That's why I have Nexflix and Amazon Prime and not cable or anything else, because I don't need to watch everything, and you can actually pay for the shows you want on Amazon (aforementioned Sunny.)

If Lamb wins tonight I think we'll start to see some actual defections from Trump, not just lawmaker resignations. Every election year Pennsylvania was like some unattainable prize. Ohio, Missouri, and Florida could go either way, but PA was always just out of reach of the GOP. Trump got PA and the rest of the Rust Belt so they've stuck with him longer than they should have because he's the only way they could win. The map just doesn't play out unless you have those states. But now they may be losing a seat they had before Trump (not counting Alabama because 14 year olds). The Senate already seems worried. Maybe the House thought they could power through 2018 and by 2020 things would be better. Are there lists of which Republican seats are vulnerable? I didn't see anything on 538.

This isn't about the actual seat, its about what this race says about the Blue Wave. A big Lamb win tonight might not mean anything legislatively for his seat but its the biggest scare to the GOP to date that starts making Roy Moore seem less like an anomaly or the Senate in November seem possible. That's slight hyperbole but its the basic idea. Lamb shouldn't win. If Lamb wins and wins handily that's a time a lot of GOP incumbents are going to worry about their future.

Yeah, I think Netflix's future is as a distribution channel to international markets instead of the domestic market. We'll probably see more deals like Designated Survivor and Star Trek Discovery.

They'll chicken little cause they've thrown everything they have, including Trump rallies, at it. All the money and attention they had went into holding it. It was a T+20 district, losing it means 2018 is gonna be a bloodbath.
