I can't believe "Melanie" blew through all that cash JUST to turn the Rose Garden into a boring ass catwalk. But, leave it to the former "model"!

The Politics Thread
Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris and Barack Obama are putting aside whatever differences they have and uniting in the name of defeating Donald Trump, and Trump. Can't. Stand. It. It's both strange and beautiful to watch. I appreciate that, too. The Democrats know that the key to winning this election is building the broadest coalition of voters possible to out-vote Trump's voting base. So far, IMO, they're doing a good job accomplishing their goal.

Even people who wear tin foil hats and believe the CIA listens in on all our phone calls say QAnon is cray cray.

I do believe many within the GOP have written off 2020 and are looking ahead to 2024 and beyond. Perhaps, the Trump cultists will have faded by then. Perhaps.

It'd be karmic justice for their ballots to get lost in the mail.

Michael Cohen: "I know where all the skeletons are buried." Let's hope one of those skeletons is clutching the pee tape. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/08/13/michael-cohen-releases-cover-of-new-book-about-donald-trump.html?__source=sharebar|facebook&par=sharebar&fbclid=IwAR3_L5BtXUfnY2P-Zg2RtaWjpzI4n8ovsqhWlDTkZVHnKVo12xlmFIVd30s

Jeannine Pirro: "Something's going to happen before the election, and [Joe Biden's] not even going to be on the ticket." That's funny, many have been saying the same thing about Donald Trump. #NaturalCauses2020

"Oh, shut up Bernie" has become my new mantra. Anyone on the far-left who still holds out hope for a real, progressivist revolution, led either by Bernie Sanders or someone else, has a long, long, LONG wait ahead of them. Pete Buttigieg would be better off hoping for a TV gig. (I hear Ellen DeGeneres's show could be on the market.)

Chinese interference is why "Kampala Harris" was trending on Twitter. Frankly, I wouldn't hold out too much hope. Thanks for all the love and concern. I'm okay. I'm going through some personal issues at the moment, but I'm taking it all one day at a time.

I'm ending my self-imposed exile to say I, too, am excited about the news. Kamala Harris had my vote forever when she rained fire on Brett Kavanaugh at his confirmation hearings. As I learned that day, hell hath no fury like a Black woman with questions.

At the very least, even if Donald Trump delivers all the right words and phrases to the audience at the Tulsa rally, Black Twitter and everyone else will be quick with the receipts that say otherwise.

Maybe not. But, it's certainly one hell of a story, lol!

So, if you attend the rally, there's a chance you could contract the coronavirus? But, Mr. President, I thought the virus was supposed to magically disappear when the warm weather hit? ;)

This perfomer would have been good in that role
Actually, @Mitch, he has done daytime. Twice. Once, on LOVE OF LIFE; and a few years ago, as former cult leader Ian Ward, on Y&R.

Actually, I could buy that part of the story. As much as Dorian and Viki detested each other, there was also an unspoken level of begrudging respect between them. Exposing the real nature of Victor and Viki's relationship to the whole world would have been low, even for Dorian, because she was still human enough to recognize that Viki was far from being a willing participant in the abuse. Plus, Dorian knew that telling everyone that Victor had molested his daughter would have just made others feel even more sympathetic toward Viki, and Dorian was NEVER gonna let THAT happen, lol.

As The World Turns Discussion Thread
More likely, they had an idea, but P&G wanted them to concentrate more on "sexing up" the show and making it more competitive with the ABC ones. Weren't there also Caroline Franz and John Saffron (and maybe a couple of others) during that time period as well? I, for one, have always wondered what happened to Saffron. Aside from writing an episode of KNOTS LANDING, the man seems to have dropped off the globe.

I won't be surprised to learn the long lines at the GA polling places led directly to another resurgence in that state.

Either he's tone-deaf or...nah...he's just tone-deaf. It's gonna be a shitstorm of epic proportions. Watch. Honestly, what else COULD they do? Even their one "victory," the stock market gains, has been erased, thanks to the coronavirus -- which wouldn't have hit so hard in every respect, had this administration taken it seriously. It was bad enough when the Trump tax cuts further widened the gap between the super-rich and the rest of us. But, when 30 million jobs disappear in one week, and people in 110 cities nationwide come out in DROVES to protest systemic racism and police brutality...? Everything in this country is literally and figuratively on fire, and it's all sensible Americans can do to laugh at #Bunkerbitch. So, as Ronald Reagan once asked, are we better off now than we were four years ago? The answer is absolutely, positively, 100% NO.

The Black Lives Matter Thread
It's the old saying: "talk is cheap." In this case, however, even certain actions are cheap. It's easy to say "Black Lives Matter!" and to march with us and "take a knee" and all the rest. Right now, actions like those are what we call "fashionable," or "trendy." But, what are you going to do when the protesting stops (because, like 'em or not, but they can't go on forever) and social media has moved onto the next shiny object? How have the high-profile deaths of George Floyd and other POC affected you beyond this news cycle? You might SAY you will "do better" from now on, but will you? Will you continue to stand with us, who have to keep fighting this fight even when the rest of the world isn't watching (or caring)? Or will you default back to "So glad it ain't me!" the next time you see a person of color harassed, threatened or discriminated against on account of their skin color and then resume your daily, white business? Furthermore, if you told me these law enforcement officers who display solidarity with the protesters and POC are, in fact, attempting to lull protesters into backing down so they can "restore law and order," I wouldn't be a bit surprised. They don't appear to be so cunning, but then again, neither does the Trump administration or the Republicans in Congress; yet, they manage to get an awful lot done (or undone) even after we scream bloody murder. As a Christian, I wish I weren't this cynical about anyone, let alone white people. But, as an American, I have to be. For me, and for anyone in my shoes, it's literally the difference between life and death. Exactly. There ARE no "good cops." The only ones who might qualify for that distinction are the ones who speak up and out (and throw their lives and livelihoods in the balance) the minute they see any kind of injustice; and who refuse to back down from their convictions, no matter how pressure their colleagues (and in many cases, their loved ones and communities) apply on them. But, "Serpico" was, in the end, just one guy.
