Georgia is a much more instructive model than Florida, which needs to start from scratch, if the Democrats are ever going to make it work. Georgia and even Arizona happened because of grassroots efforts in that were seeded years beforehand. I read an article about all the organizations in Georgia (not just Stacey Abrams) that were successful because of they were homegrown, not the usual method employed by the Democrats, which usually involves parachuting into communities for six weeks and canvassing. In GA and AZ you had community organizers that are well-known and therefore trusted engaging the community. Native American community organizers went to reservations to register people to vote as well as help some people get to the polls or drop boxes (if you think your mail is slow, try life on a reservation, where a mailbox can be miles away from where you live). The answer is not for Democrats to parachute in, per usual, in Florida but to find community organizers who are committed to breaking through the relentless voter suppression tactics and just support those people. It will likely take years, as it did in Georgia and there are never guarantees that these states' shifts will be long lasting but from what I have seen there seems to be new groups of newly empowered people who feel engaged politically in a way they had not been before. As cynical as I can sometimes be about politics (and judging from this group, I'm not alone), I can't be cynical about that.

Somebody heard me, lol.

Just clicked on QVC briefly and saw Terri Conn. Sounds as if she modulated her voice a bit. At least, from what I remember, her voice seemed to be higher pitched, somewhat squeaky when she was on ATWT.

An unattached to a playlist, in case anyone wants to see the episode but is having trouble finding it. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=12KOOqGfJEI

You're welcome 🙂. I don't think any other channel on YouTube put up an original upload of this episode.

The scene is in this episode, which I wish were better video quality. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4OXGaue5zhru43ZP4Q4SR7_DGuR3wk5Q

With the Stormy Daniels scandal barely in the rear-view you would think they would choose a different figure other than $130K. They're not too bright.

So, how's Trump's scam PAC going? Did he fleece enough cultists to clear up his debts?

It would be interesting to find out who Michael Louden screen tested with, sadly he is no longer around to answer that question but maybe someone else can. Back then, I am not sure if there was an actual "conscious coupling" of characters. From what I read of ATWT at that time, characters were written to interactbwith a bevy of other characters, leaving plenty of room for surprises in terms of who sparked. In terms of Lily and Duke, I think it was more a function of Duke and Lily being in the same age group. Meg pretty much referred to Lily in the same derisive manner, except Duke, characteristic of his personality, was prone to making taunts, while Meg was prone to spite. By the standard of today's soaps though, Duke and Lily would've been on the courtship fast-track to engagement.

The number of people who seem to be rejoicing in the fact that this vaccine was not developed in the U.S. tells you all you need to know about the U.S.' standing in the world.

Sigh. Are folks going on substantiated proof, or nah? The last time I checked, I thought that, if we're talking court challenges (as opposed to a presidential appointee, like a Supreme Court Judicial pick), isn't the burden of proof on the party that brings the allegation? The Trump team has already had a few of their legal challenges tossed out (nothing new for them since they have been losing court challenges since the day Trump took office in 2017). In terms of throwing out votes, this isn't about hanging Chads, these votes were cast, received, accepted and counted. In 2000, only one network had unofficially called the race, while all, even Fox News channel have called it...on Saturday! Today is Tuesday. No offense, but some of you hang out on too many right-wing forums and it shows. Not to sound rude but if you're going to try to stress folks out, at least stress them out over something worth stressing by out over.

So, this is right on track with the Jim Jones comparisons I've been making for years then.

Her former T.V. son recently mentioned that Sward has been instrumental in bringing more film production to the state of Utah.

Although I must admit that I personally don't hate AOC, I do think that the enmity comes from the fact that she and the Justice Democrats insist on primary-ing members of their own party, in other words, other Democrats, which many see as shooting oneself in the proverbial foot, aka, "friendly fire". AOC's primary victory over an incumbent years ago, not withstanding, many of the insurgent candidates backed by the Justice Democrats in the NYC area challenged other Democrats who were also Black and viewed as being highly effective within their respective communities. It has been seen as an affront encouraged by other Justice Democrats, but namely her, as she is the most visible member. Also, for all her starpower, she is seen by many as not being nearly as effective in her job as a Congresswoman Lauren Underwood, who was elected at the same time but with little fanfare, has actually managed to successfully write and/or co-sign successful legislation.

Lots of coming and goings in '89. Craig and Lily had such an easy going rapport. Such a shame it was destroyed in the end. Seems quite clear that the set up for Beau and Nella to leave is in the making. Whoa, at the way Ellie describes her feelings for Brock! Iva says she used to feel the same about Tad Channing, which is a good use of storyline history. I had to go giggle though because by the time Channing landed in Oakdale, Iva basically couldn't stand his guts.

Why is the Lincoln Project trying to siphon off money that should be going directly to these campaigns? Ossoff and Warnock's campaigns, I meant.

Peru, which has had quite the history of corruption, doesn't appear to be playing around this time.

Team Trump seems to be going down, one by one.

When one of the most American of companies is doing this, you know the rest of the U.S. auto industry is just waiting for a change in the White House to do the same. Ominous sign for the Trump legal team?
