I'm listening to Monday's pod and Jon and Jon are pretty pissed about the attacks on Kamala Oh really? Hmmm. I’ll have to check it out.

This seems... not quite right to me. I know it's weird times and all, but I can't imagine Republicans would be OK with a Democrat administration considering this: I.... don't think that's legal? I mean if he wanted to do it from the residence...maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe
but the south lawn? I would think thats a CLEAR violation, not that THAT has stopped this administration and its lackeys one iota but STILL the blatant disregard is still jaw dropping.

He’s the one on my shit list. It’s probably petty but I hated how they handled the whole debate thing with Kamala pressing Liz about T being banned from Twitter. They were not alone in this but they were loud about it being a stunt and being stupid. And Lovett has since doubled down on it. I just think it was a shut up and listen white people moment because T does a lot of harm on Twitter and it does impact Black and brown people more. She also had a pipe bomb mailed to her from a deranged T follower, so I think her stance on that is very valid and shouldn’t be mocked. And, I know, it was so long ago, but...like I said, I’m petty.

I dont think you're petty. I didnt see that (or if I did I dont remember) i'll retract my statement based on new evidence.

I mean, both can be true. He could have pushed back on the twitter thing AND still be supporting her now. It’s complex. Sometimes I just like holding a grudge. Lol.

I don't think that's petty. And, in the interest of full disclosure, I felt ::cringe:: in the moment when that was playing out on stage (I didn't think it was a stunt, I just wasn't sure it was the best approach) and you rightly explained to me how my white privilege was at work. Once you shifted how I looked at the incident, my thoughts on it completely shifted. But I don't think you are being petty for still being irked with him about it, because well, he has a great big fat microphone and should use it to help people check their own privilege.

I am currently about 3/4th of the way through my 3rd full rewatch of Veep. Absolutely one of my favorite shows of all time. It’s so well done. And Julia Louis Dreyfus is a TREASURE. If you don’t follow her on Twitter, you should. She’s fantastic.

Guys! Watch Veep!!
And while you watch it remember that Amy Klobuchar has a Gary (well she did the last time I saw her. He may have gone the way of salad comb by now)

Does Veep have a lot of second-hand embarrassment moments? I really don't like a lot cringey situations/humor.
I have watched all of West Wing multiple times, though.
