*sigh* if only McGinty or Feingold had won their respective races.

 

f**k John McCain.

 

Speaking of the "broken institutions of today" while he returned from getting top tier government healthcare to vote to begin the process to strip it from millions of Americans. He complains about how partisan things have become while his party (with HIS vote) forced a bill that no one knows the contents of through to debate with no bipartisan support. I hope he enjoys his podium of worthless platitudes while it lasts.

I'm trying to understand how anyone can watch trump's speeches or tweets and come away thinking that "this man is doing a great job!"   Because all I see is a geriatric spoiled daddy's boy.  I certainly don't see a president.

So let's get McCain off the pedestal. After his grandstanding and the press salivating over him, and many hugging him on the floor, guess what he did last evening. He votered YES on the BRCA(Obamacare replacement). Even Lindsey Graham voted no. 10 republicans voted no and McCain was not one of them.

G, people see what they want to see. this particular troll we have in the political thread doesn't want to discuss anything. it's either lies, defense or "The Dems did it first and worst!!!" Republicans and conservatives are turning against that man. he is a cancer in DC and speaks VOLUMES. it will only get worse as next year gets here.....because they will have republicans who's seats are up and then some will have no choice but to make a choice....Trump or their careers. meanwhile....at The Trump Troll Hall Of Ignorance......


well apparently they voted on repeal last night and 9 republican senators voted no. please let me know if I have this wrong because I just saw this on MSNBC and CNN but haven't seen any net news on it.

That's true. It's ironic isn't it that the GOP used this for 7 years successfully to gin up their supporters and when they actually now know they have an idiot in the White House who will sign it into law, they get cold feet. Boehner obviously knows  this more than anyone. He was part of it. Easy to do stuff like that when you know the person sitting in the White House will veto. What pathetic cowards.

 

They have one plan. Giving tax breaks to the elites outside of D.C. along with their own elitist butts sucking off the social safety net protections they have as representatives, leeching off of our tax dollars. And all the blue states where none of these idiots live continuing to put more tax dollars into the federal gvmt than they get back while the red states suck us dry. If their policies are so successful why do they need this and why did Kansas voters finally vote out all the state leeches in favor of paying more in taxes to save their infrastructure and schools. Same thing is happening in Wisconsin and same reason why LA elected a democratic governor.

In the latest shiny object and distraction game, and more pandering to the part of his base that will be forever loyal, Trump has banned transgender people from serving in the military in any capacity.

Caitlyn Jenner must be thrilled - it means she gets to have more TV time. 

 

I wonder how long it will be before they push the other lines that Vicky Hartzler types probably want, and will get, like banning women from combat, banning gays and lesbians from service, banning Muslims from service, etc. And no one will care as no one really cares about anything Trump does.

    • I tend to stay out of EP discussions, simply because I rarely know who EPs when. And they all have their good and bad sides. But how are we supposed to judge JFP on anything other than what we see? I didn't know she was a director or a music director. (and unlike say, Chris Goutman, I never saw her credited as anything other than an EP) Specifically in the matter of casting Crampton, she took credit for it (or at Crampton gave her credit for it, whatever) and it was arguably, one of the worst recasts of the '90's (and either as bad or worse than the actress she fired).  She lost two important actresses in '92 and still decided to kill Maureen.  She had a wildly uneven tenure at GL. It's no wonder she's polarizing. But it kind of proves a point--great soap is always a that rare combination of everything clicking at the same time. 
    • A degree does not make one an expert at their job, it just shows that you can follow directions from a technical standpoint.  It doesn't mean that they're creative. JFP was all about the look of a show without considering that technical beauty can only carry a show so far if there is nothing interesting to go along with it.  Equality means calling out flaws equally in both genders. 
    • NBC or P&G was even fool enough to take a full page ad for two consecutive weeks in TV Guide promoting this horrible storyline.

    • JFP has had more defense for her decades of terrible producing than many male producers ever had.
    • It makes sense that she got a degree in directing. I've always said she should have been a director. I think she works better at the technical aspects of the show. I think her problem is the emotion/heart of a show.  She always guts the heart of the show she's on and she makes decisions that stop longtime viewers from watching a show. I don't think it's sexism to call that out especially as I've said similar things about Conboy. I've called out Rauch for much worse. 
    • "Aunt Blanche" first appears toward the end of this episode, about 57 minutes in.

    • You're probably right. They may have just wanted edits of certain characters. Hopefully the rest is around.
    • Of course!

      I'm wondering if there were bits cut from this footage, because to me it seems that may be the case. At 11:23, Laurie tells her psychiatrist that the bar phoned and told her Mark got into a fight and needs to be picked up. It starts to fade to the next scene, you hear some different music begin and get cut off between the static, and where you'd expect to see the aftermath of the fight, we cut back to a later scene of Laurie in bed worrying about what's happening. The credits at the end also show that more than Mark, Laurie and Dr. Northcote should have been in this episode. Another character, Brody, played by Ed Setrakian, is mentioned but not shown. If this is the case, perhaps the original fan who saved this episode has the additional scenes.
    • Anyway… It’s a shame that the video that depicted Leticia’s death was removed from YT.
