Oh I liked them together! Full disclosure, I am not a Samberg fan. I thought Sandra did great with what she was given, and her dad during her acceptance speech was SO ADORABLE. Her parents were the cutest thing I’ve seen in awhile and totally made the show worth it for me.

Me too. But people are selfish. I will say I read that a lot of the early filers are people who get refunds and depend on the refunds to get by. So while you (blanket you) and I can wait for a refund, there's a lot that need the refund. I was just telling my husband that the IRS being on shutdown with bare minimal staff is not good going into tax year, especially one with a million changes thanks to the Rs And the IRS was already critically understaffed

My co-worker just went off about how the shutdown is going to end soon because all the Dems are going to need their tax refunds, so they will have to cave to Trump. I just ignored her but am internally fuming.

Otherwise it's unchecked propaganda I think this is the crux of my frustration lately. There needs to be widespread pushback and fact-checking and follow up to every blatant lie put forth by this administration. Without it, we are on very dangerous ground. ETA: and I mean in real time, during interviews and speeches. Not hours later on your personal Twitter account that a tiny fraction of viewers follows.

Hi everyone. Still not working obviously. I’m trying to stay busy and only check here and the news 1-2 times per day...otherwise my anxiety is just too much.
So far I’ve done 3 loads of laundry start to finish, straightened up the living room and kitchen, called 2 companies for customer service things, and called Cornyn and Cruz’ DC offices.

I was just telling my husband that the IRS being on shutdown with bare minimal staff is not good going into tax year, especially one with a million changes thanks to the Rs I agree. We actually were planning on our refund to help pay for our trip to see MIL this summer. But we do have savings. It's just that a lot of people don't see how something has an impact until it affects them. I hope everyone who relies on their refunds is able to get them on time.

I was just telling my husband that the IRS being on shutdown with bare minimal staff is not good going into tax year, especially one with a million changes thanks to the Rs And something I've heard from my mom (who is in financial planning) is that because of the tax cuts everyone's net went up a little bit and looked great, but I guess a part of that was because less was being withheld, so a lot of people are going to see lower returns than they're used to, which could really hurt.

Me too. But people are selfish. Yup. Someone told me last night that they typically shrug off shut downs but now that HE is PERSONALLY affected by a delayed tax return he's pissed. I'm heartbroken for people who stand to lose their homes, their cars, their savings, over Trump's posturing. My return can wait. We don't need the money for anything pressing. I'd rather see people get their lives given back to them. Agreed but I also know there are people who are counting on that return for more than frivolities so I’m trying to not discount it. It doesn’t beat paychecks and food and mortgages/rent or something but I know not everyone can just look at it as no big deal to delay.

So I discovered that Newsmax and Newsweek are two totally separate magazines today. Someone has a Newsmax in the waiting room at work and I wondered I had missed about Pelosi and Schumer’s “radical plan”. Then I discovered Newsmax is....not what I recalled Newsweek being about. Don’t be me.

TV exec texts: "He calls us fake news all the time, but needs access to airwaves… If we give him the time, he'll deliver a fact-free screed without rebuttal. And if we don't give him the time, he'll call every network partisan. So we are damned if we do and damned if we don't."

On the other, if that's the case, why not tell him to fuck off? He's going to be calling the media unfair anyway after the analysis, so why bother?

They are still playing this game like they can “win” but all he does is pivot or change the goal posts. They need to stop playing his game. They have a responsibility to air factual programming. Not a responsibility to not be criticized by POTUS.
