Even though I figured out about a month ago that the individual relief payments would be cumulative (with the $600) and add up to $2000 total, I agree that this is misleading messaging, as it clearly became muddled. I do believe that Kamala and Bernie's bill originally called for a 2K payment but Joe, as the incoming POTUS is the final arbiter of what ultimately gets put forth and he seems to be making a declaration of $1400. It will be interesting to see what ultimately gets put in the bill, as the political calculus seems to change daily, based on the reality of the situation in the U.S.

This sounds good. I'll be watching for Ms. Goldsberry. If only they could have gotten Ms. Tonya Pinkins, I would be over the moon.

Seriously, what's wrong with Yastremka? Gets a provisional ban, yet still gets on a plane and flies all the way to Australia? Like I said before, girl just doesn't make good choices.

A second impeachment is the least of what that man deserves. What an entirely disgraceful and disastrous administration.

Wow, @Errol I hadn't even noticed and I usually notice those things. You have some hints of purple in your color scheme, so clearly, you're in the know, I have the Roku box, so I am actually looking forward to checking out some of these shows. I sure as heck wasn't ever going to pay a monthly fee to see Quibi's programs, in the first place.

This deal is actually a clever move by Roku.

Prof. Hill has built an esteemed career, while Mrs. Thomas will always be known as the desperate housewife who left a harassing message on Hill's answering machine. She/they can't hurt Prof. Hill anymore. LMAO, he lives in Cleveland?? Well, he can never go home again. Those former Young Lords in NYC wouldn't have it.

The wife if Clarence Thonas should be investigated for her possible ties to funding buses as well.

If the GOP is truly about "turning the page", then they'll vote to convict and move on. It's unlikely that most want to yoke their careers to a sinking ship. Trump, in all likelihood will try to loom large over the GOP for as long as possible. Most won't want that baggage, especially if it loses them corporate backing. It'll be interesting to see how many try to wash the stench of Trumpism off themselves. It is unlikely that most rank and file GOP relish the prospect of another Trump run in 3.5 years (Personally, I think he'll be tied up in litigation but he needs to be stamped out from any possibility of another run for office). The GOP will seek to 'rebrand', which may not be successful with all those Trumpists still out there. The ones who backed overturning the election results ought to be expelled. Impeachment is really good only half the necessary work.

Oh helllll no at Yoo trying to launder his sullied name and reputation on the back of this! Are people really trying to give GOP operatives credit/cover for doing the most basic?

Tomorrow the impeachment process begins. Tonight is when what's his name gives his formal reply regarding the 25th Amendment.

So Belichick turned Trump down flat, huh? One thing you know a NFL coach is concerned with protecting is gis legacy. They're not going to waste a storied HOF one on the likes of Trump.

At this point, it almost goes without saying but, the return of Anthony Herrera/James Stenbeck has to be the best execution of the return of character that I have heard, read about and seen. Kept totally under wraps, filmed on a closed set, the secret kept until the shocking reveal. To this day, when I see that episode, despite knowing what comes next, when James removes his hood and utters those famous lines, it never fails to give me a chill. It is not the first time a soap has staged a character's return from the dead but it certainly inspired many imitators, which is unfortunate, as most returns from the dead are usually cheap and clumsily executed. Returns from the dead have become a somewhat tired soap cliche since. Now, you have an epidemic of soaps killing off characters just to try to 'goose' ratings, with no plan going forward. I think, due to Stenbeck's dramatic exit, it likely helped inspire an even more dramatic return.

I never expected much to come from Andrew Yang's mayoral campaign (I was as surprised as anyone that he's even running) but I never expected it to diminish this quickly.

LOL 🤣. I love that gif but I really haven't kept up with Randy for awhile now, lol. Good for him though.

It wouldn't surprise me if both Fudge and Haaland wanted to give Biden a 'heads-up' first, before going on the record.

Telegram offers the possibility of a tantalizing "backdoor" to the Russian FSB. I expect Vladimir Vladimirovic to be doubling up on applying the pressure to jimmy that backdoor open.

Remember when the Republicans railed for years, it seems about Benghazi? Well now, there has been a loss of life in this insurrection that has exceeded that of the attack on the diplomatic compound in Libya and all of a sudden, Republicans are eager to heal and turn the page.

No harm, no foul. It wasn't meant as any type of reprimand or anything, I just thought I'd introduce the idea to see if maybe there was concensus and I am relieved that we (the collective) agree, so far Funny thing about that Arnold Schwarzenegger post...it has a very Hollywood quality about it. I can't help but think that Trump must be seething, as Arnold is the action adventure star that Trump has often wished he could be.

The fool on the WH really had these folks believing that they could act with as much impunity as he has with zero consequences. Look at all these corporate vultures beating a hasty retreat after all the years of boot licking and bloodsucking! What a feeling it must be to come to the realization that one is on the wrong side of history. As for Sábato Jr., I wish we wouldn't devote any more space in this thread to his venomous brain farts, it's literally a waste of space. He is a failed politician and his demon candidate lost and will be turned out of office in ten days. Maybe posts about Antonio can go back in the "Where Are They Now?" thread where they can load more quickly and therefore be skipped over more easily?

The return of Penny Hughes (Rosemary Prinz) for Bob and Kim's wedding was done very well, I thought, especially since it had been nearly fifteen years since the character had been in Oakdale. I wasn't even born when Prinz ended her run in 1971 but it always gives me a warm feeling to see Penny stroll into that Hughes kitchen and to see the reactions of the other characters. The actors themselves look genuinely happy to see her.

😂 Years ago, I remember hearing Billy Ocean perform a beautiful acoustic version of "Suddenly" and thought, "if only they had brought back Bryce and Finn sometime in that last decade, that song would've been a glorious take on their theme.
