Ten bucks says Bubbles was checking out Doug Jones' son when he thought no one was looking.

But seriously.  I love the look on Doug's wife's face.  She's looking at her son the same way Mama Khan always looks at me whenever she KNOWS I'm about to say something I probably shouldn't.

 

I will never forget what her good friend, Sheryl Lee Ralph, told her after she had asked Omarosa, "Why him?," and Omarosa was all "He will be in the WH, and I will be in the WH, and if you hop on this train with me, you will be in the WH, too."

 

"Girlfriend," Sheryl Lee said, "I'm gonna have to miss that train!"

But my busy mind is burning to use what learning I've got,
I won't waste any time,
I'll strike while the iron is hot.

 

Now there's irony for you: you're afraid of being poisoned, so you eat fast food, which is just another form of poison.  This man is like Jem: he's truly, truly, truly outrageous.

Bannon's been on a slide for a year now, but it feels like something has changed recently. Now I see why.

 

The Mercers seem to be the real power brokers on that side now and where they go everyone else follows.

Bannon’s financial patron Rebekah Mercer reportedly cut him off after he, according to the Washington Post, “told several other major conservative donors that he would be able to count on the Mercers’ financial support should he run for president.”

I guess that's why I'm mainlining Mylanta at this point.  I mean, it's been a full, solid year of constant rug-pulling from this administration -- and we have another three-to-seven more to go with this [!@#$%^&*]?  (Provided, of course, Trump doesn't blow us all to kingdom come.)  And this on top of student loan debts and continued unemployment??  My anxiety, depression, reflux and weak prostate can't take it.

I'm sorry you are struggling Khan. I completely understand.  We just have to outlast this SOB. If he doesn't send us all to glory, I really do think his days are numbered.  This level of chaos isn't sustainable, imo. Now that the Republicans have their tax cuts I think they might cut Trump loose.

    • Roger's return storyline may have been silly but Roger's return was what lead to GL's last golden era.  It was the combination of Roger's return and Robert Calhoun becoming EP that got GL to finally hit it's stride after some really bad years. It will always disappoint me that the ratings during Robert Calhoun's run didn't reflect the quality of the show.
    • He also gave some of the best episodes, like the episodes surrounding Doug's death. The problem with Days was that Ron had a horrible vision from he top. I don't feel the same for MVJ and nothing that has happened in all these months suggests she doesn't have a handle on the show. Now if it becomes an issue I'll acknowledge it, but I'm not seeing it so far.
    • Jean Hackney was awful and that lead to Ben's exit story which sucked. I liked Ben/Val together. Val's love for Ben was that of a grown woman moving on with her life and Ben's love for Val made him willingly decide to raise another man's children as his own.
    • It wasn't just a GL thing, it was an 80s thing. Opulent party scenes on soaps were very big back then. Even in regular episodes where people are just going to dinner they're dressed up like they're going to see royalty.
    • Just started the May 27 episode and first thing I see is that Willow got an ugly haircut since hte last time i watched   I dont have the context for how everthing went down but I know its all Lulu's fault which make her a bish for what she did to Gio
    • I'm pretty sure he was. But point taken. GL really had a thing for masked and costumed balls/parties in the '80's. Everyone looks fabulous, but those poor costume designers.
    • Still here ^^ Come on Prime Video, it's due to bring it back!
    • Got through the eighth season, and it was... painful.

    • I agree 100% with both you and Mitch64.  Soaps have been going further and further off-course since 1981. TPTB just don't have a fundamental understanding of what makes soap fans so loyal. I'd love to be on a writing team with both of you.  Maybe we could put together a real soap opera, and show people what its all about...  
    • They weren't in town, but Fletcher worked at the paper (and we saw anniversary Journal headlines for the 50th, although I don't remember if Roger was one of them), and I'd think Alex would have at least heard of him due to the damage he did to Spaulding only a few years before her return to the fold. I know I have to remember it's not real life, of course.
