Lupita Nyong’o is promoting the next Star Wars installment and her book Sulwe

Summary of conversation [Spoiler (click to open)]
Danced out to Ciara’s Melanin, in which she raps in it. Celebration of women’s color. Ciara texted her and she jumped at the opportunity. Sunny didn’t know she could rap! Meghan congratulates her for her SAG nomination. Talks horror genre. Talks about the first time she was nominated and was very discombobulated. This time she feels more relaxed and can see it with perspective. Feels manageable. Talks about playing two different roles. It was great to see the film resonate, and now she’s getting nominated.

Joy talks about how pretty she is. Brings up the winner of Miss Universe and her skin color and hair being beautiful, can’t imagine Lupita never -not- being considered beautiful. She did a children’s book called Sulwe about appreciating herself. She’s delighted to see things changing, and moments like these that change subconscious bias. Sunny lists the current four beauty queens are all of color, black women. Abby loves the book as well, and talks about representation. Talks about her Chinese sister, and Constance Wu about Crazy Rich Asians saying finally someone who looks like me. LN tells a story about a woman who thanks LN for teaching her how to love her own daughter, teaching her daughter to love who she was. LN talks more about what impact it has to see yourselves in images in aspiration and imagination. Sunny moves to Star Wars. LN jokes about obvious things because she can’t give spoilers. Her character is animatronics, not cgi.

They sing O Holy Night

Ooh one of my fave Christmas songs but I prefer female versions. This was ok though. They sound great but the arrangement idk. Ruben is looking good. Clay is still a goober lol. They have cute banter with the hosts after they perform.


Hot Topic #Impeachapalooza is Dumber Godfather© Stupider Watergate™

T45 had another Klan rally the same day two articles of impeachment were announced. He gaslights and slams the impeachment and the FBI report that said the Mueller investigation was not politically biased. Plays clips. Lies, lies, and more lies. He is the most awful person on the planet right now. Calls FBI scum. Says he doesn’t have a name for Chris Christie. New poll says blah blah. This has become repetitive. Some comparison to Clinton (which there is absolutely no comparison as far as the act). Nobody including CC says anything egregious but it’s rehashing the same thing over and over. We know he did it. He said he did it. CC isn’t defending him. But the corrupt GOP Senate will never vote to remove. Anyway, blah blah.

For Ontd who doesn’t read these things, my thought is that the committees will float the topic, wait on SCOTUS ruling due this Friday for Mazars and Deutsche Bank, and then go from there. Idt there will be a full House floor vote or turn over case to Senate for trial until his finances are obtained by the cmtes who subpoenaed them. I could be wrong but there you go.


Hot Topic Jersey Shooting Possible Hate Crime

Mayor of Jersey City posed the idea that the Kosher Bodega was targeted based on anti-semitism. Other law enforcement haven’t confirmed this but would make it even more horrific. The officer who showed up, was shot in the head. He left behind his wife and five children. Joy feels the white nationalists are out in force thanks to T45. CC says this is a really divisive time. It has no place and everyone who is against this, needs to keep speaking out against it.


Hot Topic Biden One Term or Two Terms

Someone is floating idea that Biden will commit to one-term presidency to right-the-ship then let someone else step in. panel debates whether this is a bright idea. Would he be too old for second term. Would it make the one term a lame duck admin. Is it wise to go that route to stop the madness, then pass the torch. Panel debates. Meghan hates it. Sunny likes it. CC thinks about the practicality of him running for re-election regardless of floating the idea in advance. CC thinks Biden could beat T45 but wonders about second term, so who is the VP. VP picks usually can only hurt you, not help you. [only 1 VP went on to win Potus]. Meghan wonders about Yang and why he’s being ignored by the press. CC says it’s not the media to blame it’s whether the people take him seriously. Sunny brings up all the conservative trash judges appointed and it will take more than 4 years (a whole generation) to right that wrong. Joy will vote for Biden to serve one whole month, if it gets T45 of office.


Hot Topic Sex-screaming the Wrong Name!

Reddit story about a woman who had just seen her ex-bf, calling out the ex name while having sex with her current bf, who is now an ex bf. The current guy walked out, hasn’t seen him since. The panel laughs. Meghan acts like a child. They joke about CC wife, whether Governor is included in the screaming. CC says never include the formal title. Total lack of focus. Joy laughs, should scream Individual-1. Elliot Spitzer number 9. Joy wouldn’t care if her ex said someone else’s name. Sunny would burn down everything Manny has. Meghan is shrill and immature.

At first, Rudy Colludy divorce was bitter. His ex took all the cable boxes and tv remotes (lol). Now they’re playing nice and saying they’ll remain friends. No kids together. Panel mocks who would be married to or date Rudy. CC is relieved that we don’t have to live through the trial. Says no way they will stay friends. They have 6 houses, 11 country club memberships, $230K monthly budget, 12K cigars (?). Panel laughs at dirty money. Panel continues to mock him. He’s still under investigation by SDNY. Shockingly he has a new gf (gross) and he was caught drunk dancing which is apparently littering the internet with this eye bleach clip. Joy wonders when T45 will divorce Rudy.

Ontd are you a screamer during sexy time?
