Biden has been doing these grassroots fundraisers online the past month with a variety of people. The last 2 with Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren did incredibly well. The one tomorrow is with - Barack Obama

Oddly not one with Bernie Sanders.  Hmm.

The reprehensible Shaun King is now advocating for any images of a white Jesus to be taken down. 

 

I have not heard of any real activists who ever advocate this type of position. It feels like a very deliberate attempt to not only get attention, but also to muddy the waters and give power to those on the right who insist that BLM and other groups are on some kind of ever-expanding mission of destruction.

 

This is why some on the left giving him such a loud voice was a terrible idea. He can't run his con as well as he planned since Bernie lost, so he's trying to sabotage Biden, and beyond that, as this isn't just about Biden, he's also trying to sabotage the many activists who have repeatedly called him out and tried to make people wake up about him.

 

Just shameful. And yet I still don't think people will fully shut the door on him.

 

It's pathetic. Sessions spent decades as one of the leading hatemongers on the right. Just another example of how Trump grinds anyone who gets near him into the dust.

He's being derided and mocked by every Black person on Twitter, his main stomping ground. If some on the left aren't smart enough to have peeped his game by now, there's no help for it, I guess.  People are free to waste their money on gambling and grifters, if they want to ignore the year+ worth of warnings.

Zoom is also hella insecure (see what I did there? Seriously, though) and I seek to avoid them at every turn.

I'm no fan of Google but I'm more inclined to use their video services because better to "stick with the devil you know".

 

 

 

 

Are there still any Trump apologists left on this board? Lurking?  Just in case.

What annoys me most is many people will just turn a blind eye or say "Well he didn't really mean it" because they can't face who he is or they don't care because they are as sick as he is. 

 

Meanwhile, the scum working for him just keep on grifting.

I can't believe anyone at the NYT is paid to write an article like this...and what a shock that with Maggie Haberman's constant push to show how important she is to the Trump circle they also have a story that heavily uses her first name.

 

(they didn't even get the name of the song right!)

Me too. I hate all of this video conferencing, although for a different reason. I just don't want to deal with any of it. Just let me isolate in peace for heaven's sake.  But no. Every kindergarten teacher, rabbi, doctor and her sister wants to video conference with me.  I almost (but not quite) wish it were 1990 again.

    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.  
    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
    • There's still a year or two before Larkin arrives. Joel is there already. EON does noticeably youthify, although I think they carry it off. Admittedly I haven't seen most of the Jody stories, which from what people here have said aren't great.
    • I don't mind the actor who plays Brian. He's fine. The problem for me is that Paige seems so wishy wishy. She doesn't seem to have much of a personality at this point so I don't see why Brian would be so besotted with her. She just lurches from one trauma to the next. Granted, it's only been a month, but she's not as vibrant as April or even Deborah who has had minimal screen time by this point.  I do worry about the influence of GH on the show since I'm in fall of 1979 and characters have conversations and there's not the drive to "youthify" the show. However, I think Marceau (sp?) is gone. He was given a rather tame sendoff. How long was the actor on the show? I hope this is not a sign of things to come. I worry the show is setting up a murder mystery around one of my favorite characters and I will be mightily annoyed. I also noticed in recent Search for Tomorrow episodes uploaded to YT that the actors playing Logan and Eliot showed up. I don't watch the show but they were in the screencaps. When does Larkin Malloy show up or has he already left? Joel Crothers hasn't shown up either unless I've blinked and missed him.
    • Dr Linden. She treated Vanessa's drug addiction (although Vanessa seemed to forget that by Henry's suicide attempt) , and she's mentioned during Reva's PPD. Although I can't recall if she's actually shown right off the top of my head. She probably was temporarily shelved when Sonni was a therapist (between her crazy times) And I think Billy sees her after he falls off the wagon after Reva's death.
    • Kinda agree. I have some issues with the sets. Nicole's living room is bland-looks like a display home. Bill and Hayley's is too small and basically hideous. And neither of them have a front door/entrance or staircase. People just appear from the corridor. Those green accents  at Uptown are way too much. Also,Naomi and Vanessa not having an office or a home .
    • Thanks @Paul Raven  That Grainger story always reads like hog-wild melodrama, not very similar to the more subtle stories for Rita in her last few years. I wonder how Lenore played the material.
