I do not believe the women did not know about Jennie's FB posts regarding George Floyd. Meredith tracked who liked what tweet on social media and hired a detective. When those women fight so much about social media likes and retweets, don't tell me they didn't read posts.
This means Mary had every reason in the world to be hostile to Jennie. Her hostility is not inexplicable & it's some vicious gaslighting for these women to pretend otherwise. At the very least, Meredith, the social media inspector, knew. She is not the type to keep it to herself
Lisa Barlow is not my favorite person but she's getting a bad rap on the questioning the memorial thing. It's clear when she made the call to Meredith from the bus, she thought she was calling her at the memorial. She apologized for it.
It was Heather and Whitney that created questions about where Meredith was. Lisa resisted their conspiracizing for a time but then fell for it. Healther and Whitney are fun to watch, but they are terrible people, gossiping & setting people against each other all the time.
And yes, I enjoy Heather's humor and am fond of her but she is conniving. About half as conniving as Whitney, though, who is the unreconstructed Maleficient of the franchise.

It may be frivolous to rant about #RHOSLC when the world is going to hell in a handbasket, but here goes...
Yes, Mary has no time at all for Jennie. She has been rude to her and said several bigoted things right to her face, but...
don't you think she read Jennie's FB posts?
Meredith Marks has made Jen liking certain comments about her son into a two-season storyline, yet says she has never read Jennie's Facebook posts?
She hired a detective to investigate her colleagues but never read Jennie's posts?
Liar
Heather and Whitney parse every act and every word people do and say for signifiers. Listening to them is like listening to grad students applying Derrida to "Practical Cats."
When you consider the Portland media environment, it is amazing the city is as liberal/progressive as it is. The Oregonian is now owned by out-of-state rightwingers who have laid off most staff and offer a 4/times a week tabloid. It's a joke. But when it was a real daily, it was
fiercely right-wing and Catholic. Bill Clinton was the first Democrat they ever endorsed for pres in over 100 years. They refused to run ads for condoms, even after HIV transmission was understood
They knew about Packwood and still endorsed him and kept the scandal secret until AFTER the election. They knew about Roger Meier investing public money for a hostile takeover of a Meier & Frank competitor. They his this for well over a year - it came out in WSJ & NYT.
A woman was killed and 4 other people were shot in a shooting in NE Portland on the 18th. This is the official police statement. The only true thing is the date and location.
Why did the police use the word homeowner? Is it to invoke castle doctrine and stand your ground rationales for shooting UNARMED traffic monitors? Stand Your Ground is responsible for an 11% increase in homicides. Do the Portland Police support it? jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…
The Portland Police like to blame the increase in gun violence on protests, but gun violence is increasing nationwide - and seems to be linked more to braggadocious vigilantism. More wannabe Rittenhouses.
1. Google "Blue Stack" and Jilani is the only person to use the term. There is a company that makes something that allows Android games to run on PCs. So he invents a term around which to conspiracize.
2. This person actually believes there major corporations and progressive activists are conspiring with folks in the media and in government to marginalize ideological opponents. Excuse me, but they are ideological opponents of each other.
Last year, 30 percent of home sales in majority Black neighborhoods were to investors, compared with 12 percent in other Zip codes, The Post’s analysis shows.
I remember when Jonathan Turley became "famous." It was during the whole Clinton impeachment brouhaha and he was the pro-impeachment legal expert arguing that Clinton need not have committed a crime. His expertise was environmental law
He argued against environmental regulations. He was not an impeachment or constitutional law expert, but he was the most important thing, available. Always available. And he said what they wanted to hear - impeach Clinton.
Of course, he was against impeaching Trump who actually committed crimes because moral malleability is the primary qualification of being a Republican lawyer. But seriously, I never thought he was as ignorant as he showed himself to be today.
