Wut. But they're so much fun! I had never seen one until I met DH and watched one of the middle ones when it came on TV one day. It made me want to know how it all got started, and well, then I was hooked. Personally, 2 Fast 2 Furious is my favorite (love the criminal play on buddy cop), so the thread title makes me chuckle extra hard. I thoroughly enjoy the Fast & Furious movies, BUT don't tell newbie doubters to start on 2 Fast 2 Furious. While it's important to the "plot," it is the absolute worst one as far as acting. You need to suspend all belief in physics- and worries on caliber of acting, at least in the early ones- and just enjoy the action for these movies. Best done in a movie theatre, but a big TV works too. Oh definitely don't start with 2. Although don't make the mistake I did and start with 3, lol. Either start with 1, or 5, then go back to 1 and watch the rest.

You need to suspend all belief in physics- and worries on caliber of acting, at least in the early ones- and just enjoy the action for these movies. Best done in a movie theatre, but a big TV works too. This is the best advice for watching these movies. They were solid entertainment with lots of action and cars. If you are looking a life changing plot look elsewhere. MH is obsessed, which is no wonder given his car love, but it means I've seen them all multiple times. Well except the last one which he came home and said I shouldn't see because it involves a kid or baby or something to that effect. So I noted right out of that one. Oh and don't forget Hobbs and Shaw. I about died laughing. You can't jump right into it if you haven't seen the other movies, because a lot of the jokes and character motives will be lost. Oh my god H&S was hysterical. Definitely one of my favorites. The one with the baby is really good, and Shaw actually has one of the best scenes in the movie with it. He rescues the baby, in its carseat, while taking down bad guys. It's freaking adorable.

Before I deactivated FB, my cousin who likes to "question things" told me that the recounts didn't matter, he would expect those to match, actually. But what Trump's team didn't get a chance to do was go through and verify actual signatures/ballots. 🤦♀️

What are we going to talk about in February? I hope it will be quiet on the Trump front. That’s when the indictments will really start rolling in? I'm hoping once he's out of office they really start the investigations and start bringing up charges for allllll his shit.

Seems totally above board. DoN'T TreAD On MEEEeeeee

Republicans in disarray!!1!!
'GOP TEMPERATURE CHECK: Your Huddle host and Melanie spent our Sunday surveying a large swath of the GOP conference to see where they're leaning on the impeachment question. And here is what we can say: a handful of Republicans appear to be seriously weighing it, but are waiting to see what Dems actually do. We’d be surprised if there wasn’t at least *one* GOP lawmaker who signs on.'

This is XH's/XMIL's hometown (WV, actually) and this does not surprise. Thankfully, the Xs don't share his sentiments.

When he's impeached, does that void out his pardons?

So a councilman from Virginia who claimed he never went in the Capitol even though he was at the rally/riot - has been identified in a picture of those storming the Capitol. Because of course. He also had super shitty things to say after Kavanaugh was confirmed. Spoiler tagged for cw. Oh fuck. I knew that name sounded familiar. 🤦♀️ And yea. I remember the comment after Kavanaugh. He also posted it on local fb groups. He's. Ummm. Something.

My ass is parked on my couch, under a blanket and a dog.
I have stretched my fingers for all the typing and tweeting I am prepared to do.
I. Am. Ready.
Bring it.
