There aren't the votes to impeach or to convict. And it seals the argument that many on the other side have that "they're just out to get Trump". TDS. They're brainwashed.

I think her definition of "doing something flagrant" is "he does something so awful that even members of the GOP rise up against him". I mean, we've all seen what's happened since he took office. With very few exceptions, everyone in the GOP has fallen in line behind him. As far as the voting public? Too many of those who voted for him in 2024 would still vote for him today over a Dem candidate. Seriously, take a look at the comments section of any right-leaning publication and you'll see what I mean.

I don't think that the "Trump is evil/bad" strategy will work. I'm with Carville, though I think I'd go back to his Clinton era advice of "It's the economy, stupid." That is a possible path to success.

@wtg Knitting Without Tears is a fabulous book. It’s like having a chat over a cup of tea with your favorite knitting aunt.

I figured you had probably read it (sounded like she is a knitting legend) and hoped you'd throw your two cents in. Think I'll look for a used copy and give it a look!

@CHAS said in No, Nancy, it is not time to be nice:

If only Congress would move on it.

I think that she's saying the time isn't right. No point in impeaching if you don't have the votes to convict.

Based on how everyone in the GOP has caved to the toddler-in-chief's threats and tantrums, I think I have to agree with her assessment.

Need to focus on the legacy that Reiner leaves behind.

For me, When Harry Met Sally. An annual watch in the wtg house, usually between Christmas and New Year's (both holidays feature prominently in the movie).

President Donald Trump doubled down on his criticism of Rob Reiner, asserting today the slain Hollywood director was “a deranged person.”

“I wasn’t a fan of his at all,” Trump said from the Oval Office, less than a day after Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were found dead in what is being investigated as a homicide.

“He became like a deranged person – ‘Trump derangement syndrome.’ So, I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape or form. I thought he was very bad for our country,” he said.

Rep Thomas Massie on X:

Regardless of how you felt about Rob Reiner, this is inappropriate and disrespectful discourse about a man who was just brutally murdered. I guess my elected GOP colleagues, the VP, and White House staff will just ignore it because they’re afraid? I challenge anyone to defend it.

I cooked a couple of squashes yesterday, one delicata and the other a kabocha. Both were splittable with a big chef's knife without pre-cooking.

In my experience, butternut squash is in a whole 'nother category...

Finished reading Salt, Sugar, Fat by Michael Moss.

I think it was intended to be an indictment of the food industry but I read it as a fascinating discussion of how the industry has to adapt to changing circumstances. How do you square what people want to eat with what they really should eat for health?

I recommend it!

Sounds interesting. My library has the ebook via CloudLibrary. Will check it out!

An NPR piece about the book.

Rob Reiner allegedly got into a very heated exchange with his 32-year-old son Nick, who has now been charged in his parents’ murder, the night before the Hollywood icon and his wife Michele Singer Reiner died.

According to TMZ sources, the three attended Conan O’Brien’s Christmas party on Saturday, December 13, and Rob and Nick got into a “very loud argument” while there. The outlet reports that others in attendance were able to hear them and that Rob and Michele left the party.

It is unclear if Nick left as well. No other details regarding the party nor timeline of events were immediately available.
