I agree about what people have been saying that they didn't expect the kind of backlash they've been getting. I think they thought the American people would just roll over and accept whatever they put out there.
 

I think the GOP is getting fed up and yep Trump is heading the way Nixon did. I have a feeling something is about to come out that is going to get Trump impeached. It might not be really soon but I believe it will happen.

^ I'm not surprised by that at all. There is a reason there was an amnesty under Reagan.  Immigration is good for business by decreasing wages. While that used to make me more of a centrist, Trump has forced me to the left on this issue. I'm guessing I'm not alone on that.  Even on the issue of restricting H1B visas, which I could have gotten behind at one point, I don't trust this man to do anything that's right.

 

What happened at Disney for example is something I'm sicked by: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/04/us/last-task-after-layoff-at-disney-train-foreign-replacements.html?_r=0

Good point!

H1B visas IMO are far more damaging and is something not one person speaks about. Every year the quota is increased and the intent has been bastardized. Bringing in people through H1B Visas to work in the Hospitality industry when many of the jobs they fill are unskilled is ridiculous. Also firing American workers as Disney did firing all those tech workers and refusing severance unless they stayed to train their H1B cheaper replacements is also something that should be restricted.

Yes! I just added that story to my post. I'm so against that and apparently Trump is going to restrict that next, but right now I feel like he is the enemy and I can't give him any quarter even when I agree.  I truly believe he is coming for our freedom and I have never felt that under any other Republican.

I have never had any use for polls due to the small sample size.  I don't see 1300 people, and in some instances, less as enough.

 

Maybe there's a third option that Trump is hiding to surprise the media.  Whoever he picks is sure to disappoint him because it's unlikely that he will find a judge to rubber stamp all of his nonsense.  He's already easily the most ignorant president.  Maybe he'll give his sister a mention if he picks her co-worker.

 

I thought work visas were supposed to be for jobs that could not be filled by citizens or legal residents.

I think the GOP really saw Trump's electoral victory as a mandate handed to them by voters and not what it really was: a breakdown of an antiquated system (meaning, the electoral college) that was supposed to prevent something like this from happening in the first place.  Seventy thousand votes, spread across three states, might have won Trump the electoral vote, but even if you ignore the three-plus million votes Hillary Clinton gained over him in the popular vote, that does not suggest the American public handed him OR the Republican party a mandate for anything.

    • It's shocking to see Steffy look down on anyone. She was the new generation HO for years. I mean... she was nasty and using sex to seduce married-engaged-in-relationship-men all the time. She was embracing it fully. Bradley was accenting on the fact that Taylor's daughter had become Brooke 2. I remember how disgusting it was when she was using Hope's virginity to her advantage and offering to f-ck the guys that wanted Hope. It was ABSURDLY nasty.  Then couple of years ago Bradley decided we should forget about it and made Steffy BECOME her grandmother. IN AN INSTANT. There was no build up to it. Which aged the f-ck out the character and made her unbearable. Because it's one thing to see an actual matriarch, older woman doing these things, being a moral judge... but it's complete joke to see the ex-ho acting like this. Ex-ho that is still incredibly young and has no right acting like she is better that anyone or... a moral JUDGE. Steffy and Hope's personalities got swapped!!! That's the irony of it. So any time these gang-style of fans come attacking Hope... for acting like a "slut"... I pinch myself - their HEROINE Steffy was doing this HARCORE. Are these people oblivious or just pretending not to remember. How can you stan a moral judge... that attacks "sluts" and also stan the same type of behavior you are attacking... years ago. How does this happen. But I repeat myself at this point.  I agree with everything you said 100000 percent. It's the truth. At least in my eyes. 
    • The Amanda pregnancy was a blunder. Amanda and Sam were AW's best bet for a starcrossed supercouple. Young love destined to be turn apart by outside forces and misunderstandings . Battling for years to finally get together. Instead AW had them married and pregnant within a year.  
    • It is his fatal flaw.  He's smart, cute, and loyal.  But, a total chauvinist pig.  We're looking through a 2025 lens, but April's from a wealthy family, (that she recently met), she should be allowed to contribute to her own home. Especially if Draper is going to work for the Crime Commission, rather than joining Mike's private law firm (did I get that part correct?) How about smoking while the baby is in the room?  It all looks nuts by current standards. Raven was married to Geraldine's son Kevin, but had an affair with Logan (whom Geraldine also considered like a son). Raven got pregnant by Logan, then Kevin died (long story short).  The part you need to know is that Raven was bored being a mother to Jamey (check out my member name).  So, she starts going out to Elliott's club and leaving Jamey with April.  Logan is not happy that Raven keeps leaving their baby all around town.  And thus, Geraldine is not pleased with Raven either. Draper and Logan are frequently rivals in the courtroom.  FYI --- Draper is also Raven's step-brother (her mother married his father).
    • There is a time... till the old storyline is cleaning up... where it's still kinda annoying. For me it was. That's a personal opinion. But in 10-20 episodes more... you'll find yourself enthralled. It's not even begun. I'm so glad to hear your reviews! And excited of what's to come for you! 
    • Carly also has Nikki (Nicholas) with Lawrence. The easiest way to remember Chelsea is to think about how she was buried, stillborn, premature in a swamp and came back to life.  Or you can just remember her running over Bo/Hope's kid Zack.  Kind of ballsy to name her kid Issac if you ask me lol.
    • That's right Anita! Let her have it!

    • This is my other blind spot -- the children of Bo Brady's past loves.  Melanie:Carly as Chelsea:Billie -- but it is tough to keep them straight I dipped out during the Daniel of our Lives period of the show.
    • Yeah.  Let's just move on and talk about Jagger....lol 100% agree on the Sonny situation.  Mostly because I want Sonny to get a murder charge so he can just go live on an island with Brenda. I think Tracy did do a lot to explain Jason's perspective on AJ's murder.  I truly think that's how Jason justifies it in his own head. I don't think he was lying about his feelings.  They are just wrong.
    • I will never get over Sonny killing a fed in cold blood and everyone just shrugging when it wasn’t Alexis.    And then last week you had Jason white washing Sonny murdering AJ in cold blood to Gio.  
    • I thought it was impolite to stare directly at the car crash.  Consider it like polite cocktail chatter while our hosts bicker in the kitchen
