they all are gutless.....but they are EXACTLY where they should be after 60 yrs. of their hateful mess. I have NO sympathy for that party or any of its members. They put themselves before the people, thought they could once again win with the same hateful garbage they've always used and NOW the chickens are having a feast on their dying carcass.

Thanks for sharing this. So many people buy into the Beltway media obsession of Hillary not connecting with people. I have a newsflash for even those here who continue to believe she's unpopular. Having volunteered for a few weeks(I even made a road trip to Michigan a couple weekends ago), people love her. They are enthusiastic and working their butts off for her. The phone bank I work at a couple of days a week is always packed with volunteers but guess what. They are not all white men. They are white, black, Asian, latino, indian, middle eastern, and the list goes on.

 

The reason the people who are passionate about her like me(I am a white woman by the way and there are lots of us and also white men volunteering too) don't get talked about is because it's not newsworthy. THe Beltway doesn't care for people who love Hillary, and there are plenty across demographics. It's why I get so frustrated when there are articles about lack of enthusiasm and how unpopular she is because it's there. Hillary Clinton is the second most admired woman in the world today(second to Merkel) yet I am supposed to believe she's wildly unpopular because the GOP insists she is. By that note so is Obama yet his approval ratings are sky high. The white MSM continues to only want to focus on a dying demographic while this election will be the most diverse in history. I was reading Michael Moore's tweets and just 3 weeks ago about how he was chastising and buying into the narrative than Hillary was going to lose. Now he's taking credit for his words inspiring people. Guess what we don't need him for inspiration. But I think the white males on the left allow themselves to be so convinced by the right male MSM media, that they then act like the world is over and the GOP is taking over everything. Had I not gotten involved, I might have continued my own pessimism.

And this is why when people get upset that you don't take InfoWars seriously, you ignore them. 

 

This is now beyond The Onion. It's pathetic. And it's playing into the hands of lunatics. 

 

No one even knows what Hell smells like. Unless it's Trump once that thing is taken off his head for the night.

There is a lun right now on CNN who is still supporting him. CNN is playing a tape where Trump supported the Clintons over the women he brought to debate...calling them(the females) names and how he was supporting Bill....LOL

I guess I was so turned off by the debate that I missed Trump calling Hillary the devil .......sigh

    • I really have no problem with Kai as a character or with the actor. The problem is putting together two very nice people -- Kai and Trina. Neither of them has a bad side, neither of them has a devil on the shoulder, neither of them is impulsive. I think that's a problem in a soap relationship. Yeah, I agree. All this freaking out might make sense if Lulu wanted to do a tabloid expose on BLQ's LOVE CHILD. We have no indication that's the case.  
    • So Sonni would have somebody to talk to who she wasn't conspiring with (Will or Alan)? Alex kept telling Sonni how important her friends were...when she had virtually no friends. Instead they created loyal servants like Jane and Vera to give Alex people to play off of. They did that with Iris on AW, but Vivien was mostly there for comic relief Alex keeping Marah's paternity a secret was absurd. But I still love the scene between Alex and Alan where he convinces her by reminding her how they protected each other from their abusive father. Chris and Bev ATE that scene. Unfortunately, that took place only a few months before he exited the show...always thought they could have built on that, explored more how being Brandon's children screwed them both up. Maybe even used it as an explanation for the way their relationship could constantly swing from hatred to love. Instead of it being merely dictated by the plot.
    • The first one is Cass Winthrop dressed as Krystle Lake on Another World (not from his original creation of the character to hide from the loan shark Tony the Tuna, but at a romance convention trying to find out what had happened to Felicia who was missing). The second one is also Another World, Jake McKinnon as Doris although I don't recall what his purpose was.
    • I know there was one brief scene in the summer of 1989 where Lillian did mention Calla.. but in relation to her past relationship to Ross and it was to Roger while he was a patient at Cedars.  I think he was trying to pump her for information on Ross.. and for some reason, Calla's name came up.   I could see perhaps Beth mentioning that her mother Lillian was visiting Calla.. but not exactly giving any sort of details as to the going ons in Calla's life off screen.

    • They're neither great nor terrible AFAIK, but it is more a question of the streaming numbers in this day and age vs. actual TV airings. The Chibnall era reminded me much more of the crisis years, but I do think it's a very real possibility now as well due to the streaming bubble collapse affecting the show and its prospects.
    • ANYTHING to get her off the screen..she COULD have been interesting if she and Van had a few face offs..(there was a mild one of her going back to work...but I wanted something meatier "Bitch, I am Vanessa Chamberlain and I don't take advice from someone who followed the..career path you did!" I did like Alex's outright disdain for her.
    • Thanks @Vee for the commentary.    I haven’t even watched this season yet after  I couldn’t get past the couple episodes last season…like it was too Disneyified for my taste, although I did think it was a least better than the Chibnall era (but so is a lot of things). I’ll probably go back and binge it now. Hoping this season ends on a high note. I did read the ratings are terrible. As it stands I’m beginning to feel like what long time DW fans felt with S26 in 1989.
    • Yes, they are all on contract. Next.
