The Politics Thread

[Vee]

I did that a long time ago.

The funny thing is I actually used an episode of that to try to explain what a disaster Trump would be if elected - the episode where Mama was elected mayor. Needless to say, it didn't exactly move the polls...

At a certain point during the campaign, when people were dragging her yet again for Whitewater and Vince Foster, I reached a similar conclusion.

 

But none of that is why I didn't vote for her.  Nor, in my heart of hearts, did I not vote for her because of Benghazi, the emails, and the old adage "Where there's smoke, there's fire."

 

If I were being truly candid with myself, I'd have to admit that I didn't vote for Hillary, because I haven't seen her be as authentic as she was when she made that infamous statement on "60 Minutes" about not being the kind of wife who stays home and bakes cookies while listening to Tammy Wynette records (or whatever).  

 

If THAT Hillary had run in 2016, I would have voted for her in a flash, because I feel that's always what America needs most (and ironically, what Trump Nation THINKS their new personal Jesus is giving them now).  It's just unfortunate to me that that Hillary soon disappeared in the wilds of the Donna Karan pantsuit jungle.

 

Jesus.  You're right.  "Mama for Mayor" is an excellent way to describe what a Trump administration will be like.

 

But I'm drawing the line at "Facts of Life."

Speaking of Mama's Family, I think that Vint, Naomi and Bubba would have been conned into voting for Trump, whereas Mama would have been skeptical and voted for Hillary based on being an old woman who might be getting her only chance to vote for a woman. Then again, Naomi might have not voted for Trump since she was sexually harassed at Food Circus and being blamed for receiving obscene phone calls based on how she dressed. I better stop, because I'm about to write a reboot of Mama's Family and this is not the place.

It depends on which versions of Vint and Naomi you're talking about. The syndicated version were too stupid to do anything beyond dress themselves. 

[Khan]

Naomi would have been for Bernie.  She would have found his tousled hair "sexy."

 

No, I'm wrong, she would have been for Trump.  I mean, any girl who would hook up with a slickster like Stony Hall....

The syndicated versions. The episode where they were conned by the psychic made me think about how gullible they were.

[DRW50]

 

Other than Iola and then Bubba's ass, I had a hard time with a lot of the syndicated episodes...

 

(I did like the episode where Mama was alone at the house)

Y'all, we're politicizing sitcom characters.  We need to stop.

[Soapsuds]

They aired that episode just the other day on Me-TV

[ReddFoxx]

I preferred the syndicated episodes, the reduced cast seemed to work better.

Perhaps we should stop, but considering the bad reality rapidly approaching on the 20th, it's not hard to understand why we are being a little silly. It beats facing the reality, lol.

[Soapsuds]

Iola and Bubba's fine looks and body plus Mama is what made the syndicated episodes must see tv.  I hated the first season with Vint's awful kids.

[Vee]

I'm deathly allergic to even the mention of Mama's Family.

[Soapsuds]

My apologies to Vee for this post but Carl brought him up....LOL

 

Bubba now at old age....LOL
