  1. If Trump doesn't pardon any lawmakers, "economically anxious" rioters, or Assange or Snowden, but does pardon various rappers and a rotting corpse who bilked true believers dry, then we're going to see enough contortions from Trump's most devoted "progressive" supports to get them on Circus of the Stars.
  2. We're already hurtling backward to the usual propaganda against a Democratic President, from the most consistently awful suspect:
  3. Looking at this and thinking of a family friend who is battling COVID and also worried they may have given it to a parent (waiting to even get access to tests), I feel so numb and wonder if this can or will ever end. I see many already writing off Biden's response, after bending over backward to praise Trump for even putting a mask on his rotting, bloated face, but at this point anything has to be an improvement. Trump and his flunkies were malicious and callous - murderers, every single one of them.
  4. If you are bored and enjoy contortionists, there is a day to go of Glenn Greenwald and other far right, accelerationist, fascist "progressives" begging and pleading with Trump to please, please, pretty please pardon Edward Snowden and Julian Assange. (no mention of Reality Winner, ever, because Greenwald helped get her locked up in the first place, and she's a girl, so she has cooties)
  5. Thanks. Yeah. That's definitely him. Good catch.
  6. Which part is he in?
  7. I can't tell you how much I despise this man and his hideous nasal drippings. (and efficient means workable, dumbass)

  10. Sad. I guess the cliche of money not buying happiness is accurate.
  11. I suppose my problem was I didn't really need Harley to grow up. I liked that she was spunky and funny and unpredictable, yet was still a grounded character. Sadly, that was too complicated for JFP.
  12. Yes. Mindy and Mallet had lots of potential. Harley/Mallet was the start of JFP turning female characters into clones to be with the hunky men she favored...
  13. This was before JFP drained all the life out of Harley with dull Mallet.
  14. Thanks so much @Forever8 . Can't wait to watch these.
  15. Perpetual whiny, worthless shitface Chuck Todd went to Politico to continue the delusion that Meet the Press is a truth-telling machine and beg more Republicans to come on his show (even though they already dominate the show as it is).
  16. DRW50 replied to smadleyb's topic in DTS: Cancelled Soaps
    @dc11786 It's funny you mention that about the bondage as sometimes those types of channels do have soap material that is hard to find elsewhere. I remember looking for some soap and the only channel that had the material from that period was some channel devoted to women cutting their long hair. The Domini story on Another Life had clips up at hypnosis channels. Emmerdale footage was on a men in bondage channel. And so on. That mother/daughter story from the book makes me wonder again why the '80s (especially the early '80s) seemed to be so prevalent with incest themes. I think that's around the time Judith Rossner wrote the book with the woman who ends up marrying a man who turns out to be her son.
  17. Sorry the clips aren't working for you. Yes, you're right - in that "your arms are too short to box with God" scene with Frankie and Angie at the garage, Angie says explicitly that he's just like Jesse and how concerned she is. She ends up calling the cops on him for that reason. They tried to focus on the race element with Frankie again on The City but that seemed to go down like a lead balloon. I guess he was a little bland toward the end of Loving but I prefer that version of the character. The uploader mentioned that they hinted at pairing Trucker/Angie, and he even asked her out, but she declined. It's a shame as that would have been interesting to see. Thanks for more background on that 1993 episode.
  18. Kristoff, Shemar, Tanya and Victoria definitely did a lot with any opportunities for different types of friendships or relationships. I always wish they'd had more chances. The slow marginalization and finally full degradation of Nathan through the two different eras of the show is sad to see.
  19. Thank you @BoldRestlessfor those uploads. Watched the first two. I think some here once said Bill Bell tried to find a way to keep Lauren Koslow on but just couldn't really manage it. It's a shame as Lindsay is the exact type of complex female character (driven, aggressive but not overly so, able to have both a work life, personal life, and friendships, and best of all, not bogged down by being related to or having hooked up with half the canvas) that helped take Y&R to # 1. The number of dynamic and compelling women in that first clip alone is more than the entirety of daytime today. Bill Bell, for all the criticism some of his stories got for misogyny, did seem to love and respect women, and it's why so much of his material has aged well compared to so much of the last 15+ years of the show in comparison. I wonder if he was chem testing Lindsay and Andy before he brought the Sweeney Sister in, or if that was never meant to go anywhere. Those scenes were a lot of fun. And it was refreshing to see a 4th of July episode that wasn't set at the Newman pool party. I'd agree with that. Jazz, Amy, Tyrone, Nathan, etc. were very believably integrated into the canvas with Paul, Lauren and Andy. Later on the black cast became so segregated.
  20. Socialists. After that it becomes more split between socialists who actually want to improve the country and socialists who just want everything to be destroyed because they are rich and it won't affect them/they hate America/they are grifters.
