"Former Ohio state Senator Nina Turner, who endorsed Sanders in 2016, was on hand to back Ellis, and said that California contest reflected the same divisions that roiled the party’s chairmanship battle at the national level. 

 

She said Ellis garnered “the same energy that [Minnesota Rep.] Keith Ellison had until the establishment came in and choked the life out of people.’’ While Democratic leaders backed by big money interests “want to talk about Russia and Mr. Trump,’’ she said, they are ignoring “the movement of the people” on bedrock issues like health care."

 

I'm embarrassed that say that Nina Turner was my state senator. She had a fairly promising career before following Bernie into the void. The fact that these people can't see that getting rid of Trump is job one is an example of why they are so destructive.

I just can't. There are some in Illinois whose anger at the democratic party here is misplaced as well at this point in time. Chicago and much of Illinois is still old school democrats(there have been some local races that have been taken by new faces which is encouraging) but the party itself is still run by the establishment. We have a GOP governor who is a billionaire, yet these people are talking about putting a primary candidate against Mike Madigan when we have the most destructive do nothing governor in the history of the state.

 

Now I am no Madigan fan but right now I am happy he is speaker because who knows how a less powerful speaker might have compromised on some of the issues this governor wants to push(right to work, voter ID laws). It's like channel your efforts accordingly right now. Let's focus on getting the GOP out right now and then roll back and go after those you see as barriers to progress in the party itself. And I still have a lot of issues with the democrats(their messaging is still a nightmare) but can we not get people to unite behind opposing the GOP and bad healthcare, a horrible tax plan, protecting our public lands and support improving the ACA  and a progressive tax plan?

Here's another gem.  Trump's visit to Israel and he makes a remark about "just getting back from the Middle East"

This is day two of the trip, and he’s about to do more flying. He’s only going to get crankier and more error-prone from here:

      I think someone said it did exist, but I can't remember.

      The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)

      Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.

      I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.

      That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.

      B&B: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By edgeofnik · Posted

      Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

      Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.

      I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits.
