I also am a blue dot in a sea of red. Nov 6 is around the corner and she does take a lot of days off.

She usually works on Monday even if it's a holiday. If she was off tonight it was probably for a good reason

Remember that? We her fans on DU were all going apeshit when that happened.

The important thing to remember is that the researchers and producers are still running the show, whether Rachel or somebody else is out in front of the camera. The quality of her show is never affected, and Joy does a great job too.

they're human beings and can't be there to hold our hands everyday. Wo Rachel I'd be so mis-informed, but, I have to keep on the ball myself...and so do ALL of us. Maybe all of us need to take some days off. We're winning the votes in small elections, but talking and commenting didn't get us an alternative to Kavanaugh. And don't look now, but, the computer machinations got us trump. Trolls for trump and computer cheating. Fuck them all. And PS...we PAID for the privilege to argue w russians/traitorous Americans online via our internet or phone providers. Paying them...to screw us over...meanwhile...how many ads have you seen just coming here, or watching a youtube video? We need to get militant and put our big folks pants on and start migrating outside. It'll be cold soon. That's one reason they don't stir up the populace in the summertime. Too easy to walk into the streets. Warm and cozy outside and all.
Just saying, maybe it's time to start doing something other than watch tv and comment on the internet? If all of us did as much as we say, we'd be knocking this shit down. We need to get outside of the house...(besides work)...and do what we've done PRE computer...to win elections. Have you secured your signs yet? Put them in the lawn? It takes balls to do it. Get angry about that. Not TRMS or Lawrence.
If we're being called an angry mob...then let's get jiggy w it and show up at the town halls and sound off like they did. Already they're saying we are, SO, what have we to lose except our entire country? They say we are an angry mob...dt is getting the juice from that comment. Let's show them what angry mobs look like then? I dunno? Gotta quit hand wringing and get MOVING. He's just trying to stir the cops up so they will outlaw protesting like that law in TX, or convince ignorant H.S.educated cops that having a voice in the streets is a 'jailable' offense.
I'm glad they took time off. There's no evidence she's fishing, or Lawrence is doing anything other than what we do on days off...most likely yard work and house work, or shudders....sleeping or seeing a GD therapist.
No worries. Just another day. Watch a re-run?
Get some rest. See you tomorrow.

They are my favorite news programs to watch. As much as I'd love to see them every night, they do have lives and families and am sure do a hell of a lot of work behind the scenes aside from their airtime.

take a couple of days off each week at the very least, nice work if you can get it. Especially considering what's they're paid. I guess Mika knows her value.

The midterms, more stuff from Mueller, and whatever the hell don the con is going to do after we yank his chain on election day. The need to take some time now, while they can, while the weather is good, too.
