If Trump is supposed to be such a brilliant businessman, why do so many deals die with him in charge?

Meanwhile, in my home state of Oklahoma... https://www.koco.com/article/oklahoma-senate-to-vote-on-constitutional-carry-bill/26556161 I never thought I'd see the day when I would be afraid to leave my house. Because, no matter how you slice it, this bill now gives idiot Okies the license to kill. (For the love of God, will someone please get me out of here?)

Michael Cohen: "I fear that if [Trump] loses the [2020 election], that there will never be a peaceful transition of power." Two thoughts: 1) Duh. 2) Am I supposed to be scared about that? Because, I'm not.

Now that, and not Cohen's testimony, is news!

Wait, is she looking at that dude's ass?

Well said. I had no dogs in these fights -- I've been watching mostly old movies since "Titanic" -- so I could take-or-leave most of the winners. But I am very happy to hear about Regina King's win. Just imagine the kind of celebration that Lester and Mary are gonna throw for their Brenda in the building.

IIRC, Calliope (who wore a wedding dress that lit up, y'all) rigged her headpiece to release doves when she and Eugene were pronounced scientist and wife. IDK if it qualifies as "best" or "worst," but Lucy Coe's red (!) dress at her and Alan Quartermaine's wedding on GH certainly was among the most memorable, lol.

Six years? Has it really been that long since SF left B&B? 😮

"Hawaii Five-O"? Dude.

Sigh.

It pisses me off that series such as this one has to beg for more viewers while crap like "Last Man Standing" draws millions each week with ease. Seriously, America, what the hell is wrong with you?

Ah, yes. Conboy and Bell. A love story for the ages.

Jess Walton hated that line. She didn't want to say that line. She went to Bill Bell himself and pleaded with him not to make her say the line. Bell replied, "Say the line."

The look on Mamie's face = PRICELESS. LMAO.

IDK how old he is, but I would not be surprised to learn he is in the grips of senility.

Frankly, I wouldn't care if Bernie were a HUNDRED and seventy-eight. But I do care that his constant attempts at upsetting the Democratic Party only drag us further into our current morass. The first time he ran, I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Now, I just think he cares only about the spotlight (and to hell with the direction of this country).

I have to hand it to the UK and elsewhere, though. At least they put some effort (and money) into their promos, which is more than I could say for the U.S. soaps of today.

Seriously? Toups, there's, like, four different versions of ASIB, and they all end the same way, lol.

Mama Khan -- again, a Trump supporter/Obama and Hillary basher -- filed her taxes several weeks ago. She doesn't owe anything this year -- which is good, since she's still paying her tax bill from last year. However, even with the increased standard deduction, she got bupkis from the federal, and only $80 from the state.

As Bob Dylan says, "It ain't me, babe," it's my mom, lol. Thanks for the concern, though. I appreciate it.

Same here. Whenever my mom mentions Trump, or the GOP, I sit quietly and wait for an opportunity to change the subject, or else MY blood pressure will shoot to the roof, lol. The "facts" she quotes are almost always biased, and they're almost always wrong, too. But how do you argue with someone -- especially when that someone is your mother, and they're convinced they're right? I've tried citing actual sources, but she just dismisses it as (you guessed it) "fake news" and accuses me of being as arrogant and ignorant as my right-wing, pro-life, anti-vaxxer ex-sis in law. And when I've told her why she shouldn't trust YT and FNC to be accurate, her response is, "Why would they make up stuff when they have the proof RIGHT THERE?". I tell you, you just can't win.

Whew, I'm so glad to know I ain't the only one, lol. Over the past couple years, Mama Khan has become a full-on Trump supporter and Hillary and Obama hater, mostly because she is gullible (sorry, Mom, but I gotta call it as I see it) and believes everything she sees on Fox News and YT videos. She even has suggested that Trump has been anointed by God to be president. And in that time, her entire IRA account, which she had inherited from my father (and which I was to be 100% the beneficiary of upon HER death), has been wiped out due to poor management on our adviser's part and several energy companies going bankrupt; her older son, and my brother (another Trump supporter), has experienced both a misdemeanor charge for domestic battery and a divorce, both of which Mama Khan had to pay through the proverbial nose for; mineral rights we had inherited from my maternal grandparents and had to sell for emergency cash left her with an exorbitant tax bill; a plan to refinance our house and pay off credit card debt has resulted only in exacerbating her financial problems (a higher monthly mortgage payment, reopening most or all of the credit cards that had been paid off, a [!@#$%^&*]-tastic credit score which makes borrowing more money impossible, etc.); and now, after twenty-six years of taking Glipizide and Metformin to control her Type-II Diabetes, our family physician has had to put her on daily insulin injections because the pills alone can no longer regulate her glucose levels. Coincidence?

Actually, I've pictured something more along the lines of what happened to Cecil Colby on DYNASTY, with Donald as Cecil and Melania as Alexis.

What did Bubbles say/do this time?

Frankly, there were times when Claire Labine's vision for GH didn't mesh with how GH had come to be defined in decades past. However, two things worked in her favor: the fact that she had a sympathetic EP, and the fact that GH was doing so abysmally before her arrival. Labine was a much grittier and more down-to-earth HW than Agnes Nixon, say, or Bill Bell. RH worked so well, at least in the beginning, because it was set in a real place, and featured more realistic characters than ones on other soaps. I don't believe her approach worked as well on shows that were set in fictional towns, featured more broadly drawn characters, or required more melodramatic stories. I think Paul Rauch had a hard time with any HW who couldn't mesh with his larger-than-life visions for his shows. It's like what Harding Lemay said: you had to bully him to get what you wanted.
