I have been reading about the sheer number of registered Democrats that have been voting early and by mail outpacing Republicans. There's a chance that Republicans, freaking out from Trump's rhetoric, are waiting until election day but normally it tends to be Republicans who usually vote by mail in higher numbers.

   

It just looks like each of them are willing to, not only tank the other man's chances, but bring down the entire GOP, if he thought it would save himself. Only the most right-wing economist believes that the U.S. has a chance to rebound and rebuild from this with such an austere stimulus package. And make no mistake, austerity is what McConnell and Senate Republicans are proposing. 

 

It's unlikely that anything gets passed before Thanksgiving, if that. If Trump ends up a lame duck on his way out, there is no incentive to even negotiate until January, with a new Congress and God willing, a new president.

Trump did it the last time too - there are pictures of him with the gay flag around his back.  They have no moral bottom to what they will try and pull.  Gay flags, rainbows, and then the first move he made was to try to ban Trans people from the military - over 30,000 of them and say that he consulted with the Generals.  LOL.  No one gave him advice and he would have eliminated 30,000+ people with no plan to replace them or the jobs they do.  The whole family is a bunch of desperate reality TV ogres.  Warms my heart though to know they won't have anywhere to go once it's over.  NY doesn't want anything to do with them, and his beloved home in FL - many of the people are over him.  I know several people in upper circles in NY that have told me no one returns Ivanka and Jared's calls and they are out of the group now.  Ivanka in particular always marketed herself as a Democrat and she's a liar.

Trump himself has switched party affiliation numerous times over the years. It’s never really been about party affiliation with him. He’s opportunist and saw a weakness in the Republican Party and how far right-leaning it’s been over the last 25+ years, and used that as an excuse to highjack it for his own personal gain.

 

If the Republicans lose their majority in the Senate and Trump loses this election, they really have no one else to blame. They’re clearly going to have to move in some other direction as this election is more of a referendum on Trumpism that anything else.

    • The woman who was the co-chair of Latinas for Trump is now complaining about his targeting immigrants that she thought were "safe." I also read a puff piece from yet another "insider" journalist who lives to normalize fascists - this one with a tech bro who was venting off the record because he thought voting for Trump was cool and would show up the Democrats and maybe we'd get Greenland, but now he's getting upset.  These people still support Trump, and Republicans, they just want to make sure they get credit for being respectable. And they will get it.
    • I really do wish someone could. Just a few characters in very simple backdrops, with very real problems that are just a little larger than life, like the '50s and '60s. All the characters having a level of dignity or respect. And their inner lives are what dominate the story, even if there are outside forces at play.
    • It's a lesson to never be loyal because once your use is up, you're shown the door. MSW was the only bright spot for CBS for awhile, and once they were back on top... they promptly sabotaged the show as a repayment for all that the show had done for the network.  
    • The show made a mistake in not bringing in more McKinnon kids, specifically bringing back Ben. Kathleen was leaving, and while I like you am very fond of Sally Spencer as MJ, that didn't seem to be a common view. They also decimated the character in a truly sick storyline. So that just left Cheryl. 
    • Between Gwen and Cat, the show often seems to side with those who cause lots of cruelty to Jack and Jennifer. I am half-surprised that the show hasn't brought Peter Blake back for more of the same.  I don't really know if there is a purpose for them in Salem now, but I do feel a sense of stability and rightness when Melissa Reeves is back in the role of Jennifer and back in the Horton house, in spite of...well, a lot of offcamera stuff we all know perfectly well. 
    • I like to call her an FC-reject character

    • I’m sensing you’re not really a John Black fan from your posts. This has been some of the best soap Days has done in many years but you seem completely opposed to it lol.
    • The John Black character has been a part of my life for decades. I like heroes being honored, however imperfect they may be.  I'm glad they are giving him a long farewell and tribute.
    • Annie Dutton was anything, but sane when she was introduced.  She was very tortured and looked like she was on the verge of tears when she was first introduced.   While people, and writers, made it seem as though Annie lost her mind because of Josh.. I truly think that Annie had a lot of untreated mental issues that didn't manifest until her marriage to Josh. Sonni was also anything, but strong when she was first introduced either.   Claire in 1983 was a complete 180 from the Claire that we got in 1986... and I do agree that her character was degraded.
    • I remember seeing him briefly when Rick went to confront her about her blackmailing him. (I briefly forgot that Rick's sleeping with Claire at this time was a retcon - or her lying that she slept with him, whatever that story was). I wonder if he interacted with Kurt given that Mark Lewis later took his ATWT role. I tried to watch some of the full episode and it was all so alien and uninvolving. Roxy having a meltdown on that construction site for Mindy and Kurt's house that never gets built. Ed with Ross and Vanessa dealing with custody issues. Even Ross and Vanessa seemed flat, with Vanessa seeming oddly meek.
