RE: celebs as politicians

I don't know anything about Alyssa Milano's potential effectiveness as a legislator, but there's nothing wrong with celebrities being politicians if they ARE effective. Think Al Franken, for example. Don't rule people out just because of their day job. Judge them on their effectiveness in the position.

On a somewhat related note, I totally had a teenage crush on Alyssa Milano when she was in Who's the Boss.

Lol hell yes 1/6 was planned in plain sight. Anyone half paying attention to social media saw it going down. I saw numerous people online trying to raise the alarm.

What I'm wondering is ... do you think authorities are paying any attention to the shit being openly planned online right now?

Jasmyne, can you or anyone with the MYIR Washington CDC website help me with being able to get entered in the Shot of a LIfetime Sweepstakes? I am a lifelong Washington State resident and U.S. Gulf War veteran, trying to get entered into the Washington CDC database. Because I got my vaccines (Pfizers) through the VA at the Mt. Vernon Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) two months ago, my proof of vaccination is not in the state database.
I tried using the link provided in your article, but when I try to log in to check my status, I keep getting a kickback notification that either a user exists or I need to change my password and then I get locked out. Please help.

@2 Lastlight: I sure hope we can take down the insurrectionists and stop the insanity of the GOP at this point. Otherwise, all is lost. An old school classmate of mine emailed me a message that they're planning on reinstatement in August, laughing their asses off because their prized patsy, Joe Manchin, D for Doofus, W. VA-- is doing such a terrific job playing into their slimy hands.

@3,

That were all from anonymous, alleged sources who all conveniently disappeared. And Franken was never given the chance to defend himself against said anonymous, alleged sources. Where did they go? Why was there no trial?

Do you simply believe everything you're fed, without question?

Do you also believe the Earth is flat? Because you just demonstrated you're dumb enough to believe so.

I feel ashamed for you. Do you even know who bought you?

@5: support@myirtech.com

Do you think the city's lawyers chopped the CHOP party? Can't be lookin' like we still throw our support behind that debacle while embroiled in multiple lawsuits, now. Would probably hurt their chances of winning against the grieving mothers of dead children and pissed-off residents and shop owners.

No deal could be made with republicans? Who could have possibly seen that one coming, gosh! Oh well, who needs roads.

@11: the investigation that led to dozens of seizures, arrests, and jail time, yeah. There's also no evidence COVID came from a lab - intentionally or not - because China won't allow an investigation.

And Franken was clearly POSING for that photo, "groping" his USO tour partner through her goddamn flak jacket without touching her.

Boy that's a lot of stupid you put on display.

@11, yeah sure. 580,000 Americans have died from COVID and the real scandal is with the media not knowing then what they know now about the virus's origins.

Boy, it sure would be nice to be living in your perfect little partisan world.

I'm mostly Team No Celebrity Politicians and would like to see if there's something we could do to prevent it from happening again in the future. Like, maybe some cutting edge scientist could send one of our present day citizens back in time to knock off the one celeb who seems to have brought the practice mainstream, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. But who among us could possibly be expected to pull off such a barbarian task?

@14 John Conner?

@3 Frankin could have contributed far more to achieving progressive goals by remaining a senator than becoming a casualty of the Metoo movement. Also, pretending to do something is not the same as actually doing it.

@19: All such postulations are meaningless until the Chinese government reveals their hand.

@8: Thanks, Elmer. A MYRI tech suggested I check in with my PCP.. It's all taken care of. :)

@11 is further rabidly glaring proof that white supremacism and all things Trumpist must end NOW.
