The sheer temerity given that Trump jump started all the hate that's flying around these days with his little winks to the white supremacists.  Remember his ads that had Hillary surrounded with the star of David and dollar signs?

Can you imagine the reaction if Obama did this.  It's funny and yet disgusting. He is a complete waste of space.

Ditto. I'm glad I've been following him more closely over the past several months. And this is something that was proposed as part of healthcare reform when the ACA was being architected and refined. 

 

I'm assuming he''s going to run. It going to be really hard to decide between he, Harris, Booker, and Warren  - all I like. But I am so glad to see we have so many choices.

I love watching people discover Sherrod Brown. I've been active in Ohio politics since I was a teenager and I remember the first time I saw him speak in the 90s at the ACLU annual dinner. I was ready to follow him through the gates of hell. I've occasionally disagreed with him on issues of trade (he leans a little too protectionist for my taste) but you'd be hard-pressed to find a more committed public servant.

What a stupid waste of money. I can't even tell you how much this pisses me off.

On a different front I find this news worrying.

Apparently people are spending on average $36,000 on a new car.  I understand that the larger economy is more at fault than individuals, but that is an insane amount of money to spend on a depreciating asset unless you are rolling in $.  We need to give our students better financial educations in high school.

    • I don't mind Jan either. If anything, they could be using her more to get her daughter's POV. Not to mention her role as one of the Have-Nots.    I also don't mind the local talent. Just look at soaps that were in NY or the shows that film there, they always go for the local talent and we get to find new faves. 
    • I'm not going to watch (because...well...that M-dude...lol) but knowing the history between Henry and Roger, I could see Henry wanting to enable Hart to stay independent of Roger. I could even see it as Henry having the last laugh at Roger. Roger hated "the Henry's" of the world, which basically meant anyone who had money and social prominence. Twice Roger swindled Henry out of a chunk of his fortune, so giving some to Hart, who hates his father, is a form of karma.
    • Ashley and Derek have to go- they really throw off the pace of the show.  Today was the first time I fast-forwarded through their scenes. The writing and acting is just bad for both characters.
    • Jon is stuck in a story that isn't popular but with Cady I feel like the issue is that she was clearly thrown in with no real purpose. I still don't understand why she pops up. I recall early on it being said she owned a spa but we've never seen it. That could've been an interesting location for people to meet. She also could've worked better as Smitty's mom, but instead we get this random agent of Dani's who pops up twice a month? A total waste. I mostly agree. I do feel like Jan could be elevated with a name soap actress, someone like Judi Evans or Kassie DePaiva comes to mind, but they're limited to who is in Atlanta. Keeping that in mind I think the current actress is fine. 
    • It's great to see. My thoughts might be a little different, but for the most part, I am excited and interested in most of the storylines. Yeah, you're right. This is probably how she (Dani) normally acts. And, I do not like it!  I agree; this is another distraction while she heals her wounds. If I weren't an Eva fan, she helped me root for her even more. As I said a month ago, I hope they take their time with her modeling agency. I would love to see her face a few obstacles before becoming a huge success. 
    • I like that there are a lot of local performers on this soap and I'm glad they've resisted so far on hiring too many soap performers.   Cady has been awkward on the show thus far and Jon seems to have polarizing as well. I say focus on the local talent and giving those people a job and exposure.. and leave the P & G soap opera performers in the past.
    • Who do you think would be good for the show among the ATWT/GL cast?
