I have watched past seasons of The Handmaids Tale & it always leaves me feeling depressed. It's such a dark series, so I don't know why I keep watching it, but I do & always come away feeling icky! I've never seen it. Is it on Netflix?

DotRen , don't mean to be picking on you! I'm in Cali, blue as can be. They tend to go too far in the other direction. Moderates are frustrated. Oh I don't feel picked on lol -I think the "people in power" are idiots for this stuff, too! Some of the things that happen here in the Tennessee legislature just make me want to hang my head in shame and tell people I'm from somewhere else. LOL!

What are they doing? Having a family reunion once they get to the family golf course in Ireland? Looks like all the family plus KAC got to go. Poor SHS got left back at home. I guess after they loaded all the family on Air Force One there weren't any seats left for her. Oops! I just saw where Sarah got to go too. Maybe they put her in the cargo hold. Guess the only people left behind were you and me. But doesn't it make you feel good to know your tax dollars are going for a worthy cause instead of being wasted on something silly like healthcare, infrastructure, keeping Russia from electing our next president, etc.

Donny Jr must not have gotten to bring his GF as his plus 1. Wonder how that went over with her. Or maybe she is waiting on the sidelines, who knows, Tiffany always looks like the odd one out. I would bet if it weren’t for Ivanka she wouldn’t be included in anything.

Okay, these will be tacky, catty remarks. But they're the Trumps so I don't care. Poor Tiffany looks like she's put on weight. I should be the last to fat shame someone, it's just an observation. And now it looks like both Junior and Eric and going for the facial hair. Sorry boys, it doesn't do much for you. You will stick be weak chinned little ninnies.

I read The Handmaids Tale in 1985 the year it was published. It was one of those books I had to stay up all night until I finished it. Even though that was over 30 years ago many of the troubling images are still stuck in my head. I have no desire at all to see it again. Once was enough, thank you very much.
I can't tell you how many times I've seen something on the news or on line, especially stuff about the cozy relationship Evangelical Christianity has with the government of the United States, and I'd say to my spouse, "It's The Handmaids Tale."

"This is the sort of behavior I would expect from an 11-year-old," Khan said. "But it's for him to decide how he behaves. It's not for me to respond in a like manner. I think it's beneath me to do childish tweets and name-calling." -- London Mayor Sadiq Khan
Isn't it nice to hear from a grown-up once in awhile? We've almost forgotten what that was like. Those good old days when you didn't have to expect that when you turn on the news you're going to hear something embarrassing that your president said are now just a fleeting memory. I really want to get back to those days when a president acted like an adult instead of an obnoxious child. Also it seems that the Trump clan just kind of invited themselves to the palace. The only people the Queen invited were the JA and Melania. Do you think it embarrasses Melania the way they all behave. I mean you wouldn't think someone with nude pictures out all over the Internet would get embarrassed very easily.
