Majorities in the House, Senate, the White House, breaking senate and house rules to pass, try to pass these monstrosities and the GOP still flopped. Say what you want about Peloai and Reid but they got it done. And through the standard legislative process and numbers.

McCain earned back some of my respect tonight. And kudos to Collins and Murkowski for having more balls than the rest of the GOP men put together. I did LOVE how McCain strolled up to Turtle, just held out his hands, and did his decisive, quiet NO. The look on Turtle's face was EPIC!

 

Also loved Schumer showing class and waving off the applause.

 

The video of this is just gold.

@GMac Doing God's work. Let that be the final say to trolls.

 

 

Anyhoo,

 

Russia knows that Trump is their lackey. You know why?  They just out and out seized the diplomatic compounds that they were tossed out of last year after the compounds were declared to be "Spy Nests" by the Obama administration.

Now they're back as retaliation for the Senate voting for sanctions against Russia.

We'll see whether Trump tries to veto, seeing that Congress can override his veto. But a veto would definitely prove him to be in Putin's back pocket.

Read this thread. Very enlightening about Susan Collins and the mistake the senate made by not including her.  The trolls never really address that despite the problems OBamacare had, it was a plan and mapped after Romneycare. But it was a PLAN based on a belief that all American deserve affordable health care. Yes there are problems with it. No one said there hasn't been but all this disastrous effort showed of the GOP is their only belief is giving tax breaks to their donors. Trump has no ideology, no plans, for all his bluster, just an empty suit following the path of those "elites" he chastised. The ones Americans claimed they wanted change from.

 

i listened to Chhris Kennedy the other night talking about the time he was born and how we need to get back to government being used to help people as FDR did, as Eisenhower did and so on. That all changed with Reagan and we got glimpses of what's possible with Clinton and Obama. Imagine if we had a government filled with people who all believed this and who debated on philosophical issues not hatred.

    • 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.
