Oh my gosh! This.

 

When I posted that comment about him in high school, I was going to add how watching that video made me think he was the type to plan a mass shooting.  He was dripping with contempt.  This whole anti-immigration scheme just feels very much as though it's payback for all the "suffering" he must have felt he endured by having to go to school with "those people."  I just get this sense that he has been planning how to get them all out of America for years.

I wouldn't be surprised if when all is said and done, he slowly goes insane from the feeling that his plan was so close to succeeding.  Maybe for different reasons, he and Trump seem like they could go right over the edge when the walls come tumbling down on them.  Bannon not so much.

Stephen Miller is a sad man, because he really believes in this "alt-right" garbage that he and others keep spewing.  But Steve Bannon...?  Well, Steve Bannon IS a repulsive s.o.b.  No doubt about that.  But the more I think about him, the more I think he doesn't believe even half of what he has said either on-record or off.  In fact, I don't think Stephen K. Bannon believes in anything other than Stephen K. Bannon.  To him, the only -ism that matters is opportunism; and right now, for whatever reason, he sees an opportunity in exploiting Trump Nation and its arrogant, ignorant leader.

I don't have a problem with Keith Ellison personally so much as the elements of the left insisting on him above all else, but I haven't been paying much attention lately. I'd be fine with him or Perez. Did he do or say something else?

How can they when they've got the possibility that Trump's lawyer pushed a pro-Russia deal with Ukraine to deal with.

and possibly this:

I sure would like the terrorist fist bump group to discuss this but I'm not that lucky.

 

I completely forgot about tearful Boehner whose tears were surely more genuine than Chuck Schumer's in the land of Trump.  Anyway Boehner is sharing his friends' plan to repackage the ACA.

Cracking down on drugs must mean leave the hard core stuff alone but go after marijuana--which if the states should get to decide about transgender restrooms why not go all state's rights with marijuana as well:

I feel better knowing they care more about stopping someone from smoking weed than dying from opioid addiction. The Republicans must plan to address the deficit by hoping a whole bunch of people just die.

Trump and his cronies stand to make a lot of money in private prisons as they are already invested in the industry, so of course, they would bring back to the piggies to the trough. They're going to do their best to make Halliburton look like a small time operation in terms of using government to line their pockets.

 

Also, no surprise that their 'war on drugs' would focus more on marijuana while leaving the more illicit drugs alone. 

I'm just going to go on ahead and put this out there-- many former coke users (including dearly departed Carrie Fisher) were adamant that they recognized signs of cocaine use in Trump.

Of course, someone else also mentioned that if Trump cronies find a way in which marijuana is extremely profitable for them, they may hold off on the 'crackdown'.  Although from what I read the industry has been shutting out small businesses in favor of corporate titans who want "in" on the industry's profits.

The travel thing is interesting. Call me cynical, but I don't really believe that many who come here as a tourist destination are thinking, "No more! I must think of my Muslim friends!" (unless of course they are Muslim, or from countries where they will likely be mistaken for Muslim and detained for that reason). I wonder how many are protesting for now, but mostly just for now. I remember how many were supposed to be appalled by the UK because of Brexit, but most foreign countries are lurching this way, so the vacations have to go somewhere. 

 

With that said, Trump truly is the ugliest face American could have, so I can believe there is and will continue to be a drop of some kind.

      Jane Wyman return episode was head-to-head w/ Cheers season 8 finale. Falcon Crest broadcast syndication began Fall 1986, which overlapped w/ Oprah going national. AFAIK cable broadcasts were Lifetime and Soapnet. I have no memory of cable broadcasts on TBS, TNT, TNN, E!, FX.
    • After today’s rushed and abrupt exit for Summer I immediately realized that Josh & Co. were very blindsided by AL’s decision to leave.  Not the first time this has happened to JG either; see MM & HK’s exits in 2021, MM’s exit in 2022, and of course TSJ’s exit last year. Obviously JG and our executive in charge of nothing Steve Kent don’t have a good handle on casting disruptions. And Mariah having an offscreen affair is [!@#$%^&*] ridiculous!! Meanwhile Tessa’s blonde hair is overkill with the number of blondes on the show already. I said the same thing 3 years ago…of course it was utterly ridiculous everyone was mad at Sally for getting Summer he dream job (don’t ask lol) but there was so much the show could have done without bringing on the Marchetti angle.
    • Does the ball on GL where Philip revealed that he had forced Alan out of Spaulding count or was that not Philip's idea?  There was a ball on AMC where Adam revealed that he had bankrupted Palmer, I think (or was it the other way around?), but I can't remember who threw that.
    • Thanks for honoring Ruth Buzzi. She was a treasure. I'm glad DAYS let her have some fun. I remember Imogene Coca complaining about ATWT just giving her a drab guest part.
    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
