@manniefabian This is war, not a James Bond movie. It's not "badass," it's a necessary evil. I feel so much for the soldiers who need to kill people, it can't be easy. I appreciate what they have to do to protect Israel, and I honor their bravery. But I don't feel celebratory about it.

@kennethcolereal That's too funny. I wonder when she figured it out. (I remember a salesperson at the old Barney's on 17th telling me that they didn't recognize Bruce Springsteen until they saw his credit card. You're in good company.)

@sky_invisible @Strandjunker @MrJonCryer No. It was when Doug Jones was running ag Roy Moore, an abuser of women. Dems couldn’t credibly attack Moore if they didn’t stand ag Franken. Jones defeated Moore. Kamala Harris took Franken’s seat on Judiciary, the country got to see her interrogation of kavanaugh & made her VP

@akorsh9 Can I just be a girl for a second? I loved this series and loved the legal machinations. But damn, costume design was insane. Can you share where, on God’s green earth, you found Jessica’s ensembles, Donna’s dresses, and Rachel’s pencil skirts?
