Sure, why not? Trump has the US on life support. Let this wacko kill us completely.

With 120,000+ dead and climbing, the Trump Administration is urging the Supreme Court to strike down the ACA (Obamacare) entirely. Republicans are making the fabled death panels a reality! https://twitter.com/i/events/1276361569341849601 The Supreme Court is expected to decide this in the next term (October).

Racism and racial representation on soaps
Wonder what Stephanie Cameron is up to these days... Didn't like her version of Jennifer at the time, but I'm willing to reevaluate.

I think this ad says it all:- Primetime Soaps
The successor to the time slot for "The Yellow Rose" was "Hunter". And even though that was a "Dirty Harry" Lite show to start with, I think it was around that era that even "regular" dramas like this one began using soap elements. In the case of "Hunter", a running arc in S1 about his being the black sheep of being related to the mob, Dee Dee's rape in S2. Soap story telling were not just for the "soaps" themselves by the 1980s, and that formula holds today. Maybe it's why fewer need to watch daytime soaps. Prime time uses the elements and people still get their fill.- The Politics Thread
Okay, it is Rasmussen - a Republican-leaning poll - but some link on Twitter (I know) has black support for Trump over 40%? I just can't.- The Politics Thread
And Joe Biden is officially no longer the "presumptive" Democratic nominee for president, but the Democratic nominee, full stop: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/joe-biden-2020-nomination-delegates-2020-06-05/- The Politics Thread
New Lincoln Project ad. These get better and better:- The Politics Thread
Bunker bitch invoked George Floyd in praising the new economy numbers! I just cannot get over what a freaking MORON we have in office.- The Black Lives Matter Thread
Oh, that's right! How did I forget the Murder Hornets? They must be the modern equivalent of said locusts! I wish I could make like Rip Van Winkle, and sleep 'til November 3rd. If Trump loses, I stay awake. If not (and God, I hate typing that!), wake me in 2024. Sigh.- The Black Lives Matter Thread
California had an earthquake this evening, too. At this point, I'm just waiting for the damned locusts.- The Black Lives Matter Thread
It's an opinion column from a lickspittle Republican. Most comments in NYT from average citizens I saw last night in an article about the protests were eviscerating Republicans.- The Politics Thread
From what I just read, the Democratic challenger has a massive $$$$ chest to work with, so that may help.- The Politics Thread
Tear gas was used on the crowd so this f-u-c-k-i-n-g piece of s-h-i-t could preen for his base. The reporters also saw that abuse. So I doubt it. If anything? Don just poured more gas on the fire that is the rage and anger of this nation and beyond. I am seriously scared that this country will not MAKE IT to November to vote this puke out.- Coronavirus/Covid-19 Discussion Thread
More rallies? Good news! Cull that MAGA herd. And if it takes down Orange Swine, even better.- Y&R to air classic episodes
Or as many will forever remember Mitzi Kapture (now Donahue) for, a.k.a. Det. Sgt. Rita Lee Lance on Silk Stalkings.- The Politics Thread
Tara Reade's lying may have finally bitten her in the butt: http://www.businessinsider.com/monterey-county-district-attorney-investigate-tara-reade-lied-expert-witness-2020-5?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%253A+businessinsider%252Fpolitics+%2528Business+Insider+-+Politix%2529&r=US&IR=T- Another World Discussion Thread
It seems like once Days went from reality based in the 1960s and 1970s to the larger than life/super couple juggernaut show in the '80s and just plain-out WEIRD in the 1990s and Santa Barbara was also very quirky even in the midst of more real stories, that Another World seemed to become the "odd soap out" even though, of the three, it was first on the air. By the 1980s, it may have fit better as a CBS or even ABC soap.- The Politics Thread
In other news, Tara "what is my name today?" Reade has been dropped by her attorney - and has been exposed as lying about her credentials. Oops.- The Politics Thread
I don't know how I feel about Amy Klobuchar as a potential VP. But Elizabeth Warren? No. She could not even win a primary in her own home state.- Coronavirus/Covid-19 Discussion Thread
In more depressing COVID news, crew on the USS Theodore Roosevelt, who had previously had the virus and were thought to be in the clear, have begun to test positive AGAIN after exhibiting symptoms: https://www.politico.com/news/2020/05/16/uss-theodore-roosevelt-sailors-test-positive-coronavirus-261873 Face it: Until we get new leadership that respects science, and/or a WORKING vaccine, we will NEVER get out of this.

86,000+ dead. Job loss is staggering. And yet we have this: https://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/video/4549740-cnn-poll-president-trump-leads-joe-biden-in-battleground-states/ I...just don't understand this. At all. Sigh. If this POS gets back in, this country deserves to crumble. - The Politics Thread
