I am sure the birthers will claim she was actually born there like they did with Obama.

 

Mama Khan doesn't like her, of course, because "she slept her way to the top.".

Very sorry about your family's loss, Julia. I've been there.

 

I have never had any illusions about Joe Scarborough and Mika and their many, many sins, but they do admire Joe Biden and this monologue from Friday morning - where Mika is clearly all but crying - is still a very good insight into Joe's ascent.

It's been a long week and long 4 years. Thanks to everyone here all of you. You have been a lifeline of sorts. And @Vee so much respect for keeping us all informed and sane the past few days.   I had to drop out of watching any of the MSM coverage. Even as Trump loses he sucks up all the oxygen in the room.

 

@Juliajmsso sorry to hear you lost your family pet at this time. 2020 has been the worst year for so many.

 

I have so much contempt for the media this week after this long drawn out garbage.  And if I have to hear Maggie Haberman and her Trump whispering garbage one more time I will pull my hair out. She was on CNN this morning again telling everyone how he will concede just like he did when he acknowledged Obama was born in the US - such gross pandering  by her.

 

Lauren Underwood has gone ahead in her race in Illinois by around 4000 votes now as mail  in votes are still getting counted here. She's going to win - such a relief. I know @DRW50you said some of those R districts would have turned anyway. I am glad to see hers was not one. And her district is part suburban and part rural and lean R. She's also one of the hardest working members of congress. Oberweiss will go on to lose ANOTHER race - (Gov, Senator, the list goes on as to the number of races he has lost here) thank goodness. And we know she won because he's out raising money for a recount. She's back at work.

    • Seems like the Dobsons were aiming for a Joe/Sara/Justin triangle or, having decided that Joe would be killed off, Justin would be waiting in the wings. But that never came to pass and I don't think there was much reference to Justin/Sara as time went on.That was something that could have been used later on but Doug Marland may not have known or cared. Also, when the show went to an hour they could add a lot of characters and not rely on the stalwarts, hence Jackie/Alan/Elizabeth. And after Leslie died, Mike went into Dad mode with Hope. Hope/Ben never took off and Hope was replaced and then dropped and Ben moved on to Eve, whose romance with Tim fizzled and Jordan Clarke left (by choice?)

    • When I was a kid, I would watch DOOL with my mom. I remember Denise as Susan so well. And later, of course, on GH. How sad to hear she has passed. RIP.
    • I have to dig that scene up on YT. I'm glad they gave them some kind of happy ending, even if it was really late. Interesting! I remember Justin and Sarah being involved, but I either forgot or never caught their backstory. The girl with money and social position of course turns out to be Jackie. He sort of did to Sarah what Vanessa did to his brother! I do remember Justin started out as not the greatest guy. Kind of a horn dog. It's only when Ross comes on that he becomes the "good" brother. I only have some vague memories of Ben and Hope, mostly of when they were in a positive relationship. He certainly changed over time. "Chill" would be the way I would describe Ben (along with "handsome but kind of a yawn") for most of his time on GL, so hearing he once had a violent temper is very surprising.
    • Yes. That's called good writing.
    • interesting idea.  That makes sense, as MVJ seems to have set up each character development (traits) for future plot developments.
    • I really enjoyed today's episode. It showcased a lot of the other cast and I saw hints of storyline potential (Smitty & Bill). Martin definitely has some anger issues and I recall him being overly scared about protecting his family and having all the doors locked, coming out of one of his "dreams". There's obviously a lot going on there and I can't wait to find out more. I'm thinking June is going to be more than just the issue story of the week. I think she just might be related to one or more of our main characters. As for Tomas, yes, Alex Alegria is not the strongest actor, but he's pretty to look at and he emotes something. I'm just not sure what that something is yet.
    • No. Absolutely No. I don't know who this is... since it's just some random Twitter quote... But NO. The only parallel between OG Caroline's leukemia and Liam's tumor... is that they are both having cancer. That's it. Other than that... I see absolutely no similarities.  Caroline hid her sickness almost till the last moment. She was also giving the viewers signs that she is not well for days if not weeks before the diagnosis. It was not like Liam... falling down and hitting his head on a table and bam he has a tumor. Caroline's storyline broke our hearts, because of her attempt to live out the rest of her days with dignity and grace. It was written slowly and with care. What we are seeing right now with Liam is the complete opposite. It's begging the viewers for empathy and cheap tears. It's so in your face and trashy... I can't believe they are using cancer for something like this. Bradley Bell should never do terminal stuff again in his stories. It's borderline offensive to people who actually have lost relatives to cancer. To me it is.
