With any luck, Jim Jordan isn't long for the political world. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/hbo-george-clooney-ohio-state-abuse-documentary-1235160576/
@saibh Thanks for telling us about that Ohio State docuseries. I love George Clooney and I am interested in watching the series to see if there is anything in it that could specially impact Jim Jordan. Is he featured in it? Has anyone seen it?
@jeanne-mayell The documentary will be on HBO, went into production in June, but no release date available.

In the original--or one of the original investigations--several wrestlers testified against Jordan emphatically saying that he knew because they told him, but he did nothing. I cannot imagine that this would not be included. Â
AG Merrick Garland has appointed special counsel in the Trump cases.
Lately, I am getting that the indictments will cause those in the House that were involved in Jan 6 could help the Dems retake the House.
Did you see the clip of DeSantis, his wife and children coming up to a microphone on election night? I thought it was unusual that his wife wore a gold evening gown. I don't see politicians' wives wearing solid gold. Today it came to me that whether it was a dig at Trump or a hint to DeSantis's followers, that solid gold dress was the equivalent of Trump's golden escalator.

I saw it.Â
I thought it was just tacky nouveau-riche.

@lowtide forgive me as my snarf is in high gear the past few days, but I just have to say ... trump had another high profile gold fixture. Â Perhaps these two things have something in common.Â
And now that I've secured my place in hell, it's back to Thanksgiving prep.
@theungamer  I have to say I thought of the "Golden statue" of Trump that was at a GQP Convention when I saw this about her dress.... while hearing Dan Fogelberg singing the Power of Gold in my head.
Question: If we can incarcerate 9-11 and insurrection domestic terrorists, why is Old Orange Face not considered domestic terrorist # 1? By advocating for the termination of our Constitution so that he may overturn the election results in order to hide from the law, he is treasonous, a threat to our country and he is more than willing to foment another coup. His passport should be revoked asap and he should be kicked to the curb or into his "beloved Putin's" arms (who no longer has any use for him). Or into a mental institution (WAY past due!). His pathological meglomania is frightening, especially since the spineless GOP seems loathe to reject his outrageous statements....

@Isabelle Excellent question... and in light of the attack in North Carolina on power stations leaving thousands without electricity  https://apnews.com/article/crime-north-carolina-052f618466c84b841b467b55c222717a (social media posts are suggesting it's an attack on LGBQT Drag queen show which ties in with the Department of Homeland Security's warnings sent out https://www.dhs.gov/ntas/advisory/national-terrorism-advisory-system-bulletin-november-30-2022
as well as our runoff between Warnock and Walker at fever pitch awaiting the results once the voters turn out tomorrow.....it's pretty clear he has had a hand in whipping up and fomenting unrest and attacks... I have to agree.... he needs some new clothes to match his orange face!!! and that infamous face framed in bars!
Today is Election Day in Georgia. Â May Warnock ride a blue wave to the senate. Â

I have been thinking of you all evening. Â Excited that although Walker is ahead right now, the odds favor Warnock. Â I am feeling good @journeywithme2. Â
I believe you will be very happy, as will all of us here.
It is crazy close.Â
Whew!! Thank you Creator for answered prayers!!! Â Our Dem group has been texting and celebrating !!! Yea!!!! That's what we are talking about!!!!
Jubilant about Warnock’s win, capping an historic election cycle that shows our country is turning towards the light. Â
It’s the first time since 1934 that a president’s party gained both Senate and governor’s seats in a midterm. Democrats won two more governorships this cycle, including in my home state of Massachusetts.
Warnock’s win means the Dems will now have a majority leader in every Senate committee, instead of having to share that leadership with Republicans, which in turn means they will be able approve justices more quickly and move their agenda more easily.  I pray that we will see a shift towards democracy in the House through some yet unknown means.
It is also significant that Warnock’s campaign $ chest was twice the size of his Republican opponent, even though Republicans hold the wealth in this country.  It was a people’s win.Â
In the Circle of Light we have prayed each week for two years that truth will become a thing again and that democracy will prevail. Â I think that prayer has been answered. Â
I know we still have a journey to make, but I see the light on the horizon.
