Trump is the ugly, fat face of a longstanding problem. I grew up seeing the Clinton Death List hysterics and Rush Limbaugh calling Chelsea Clinton a dog on national television. Then I had to see the 2004 campaign which ran on laws that would have meant gay couples could not even have hospital visitation rights, alongside vicious smear campaigns against Vietnam veterans, including a 2002 series of ads which would morph the faces of veterans into terrorists. And of course the Iraq invasion, which got to the point where we were so desperate to bully other countries for not supporting our warmongering that we could no longer even use the term "French fries." 

 

I think Obama's electoral success masked just how desiccated much of America is.

Not all of us are minute to minute while we are surviving. You don't like it, I think you have found the block button by this point.

It doesn't just apply to you, but that's an actual message in the reply so I'll take it.

 

They've got the whole Trump apparatus out there proclaiming victory in PA, including McEnany. Not gonna work IMO, given how even Fox strongly pushed back on Trump claiming victory last night on-air.

Or Arizona. But actually in some cases I think he may need two or three:

For example, I think he would need Michigan, Arizona and Nevada if he doesn’t get PA, NC or GA.  I think there are many different combos in which he would need 2 or 3 more.

    • Thank you. You guys come to the rescue again. I'll take a look later.   Thank you for the info!!! Now I find myself less confused. You and @DRW50 are amazing.
    • I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.
    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
