I'm glad you shared that, because it's another example of how many rich people were in this hate rally. The talking points are already out to try to convince everyone this was "economic anxiety."

 

 

I still have a feeling many of the loud voices online will try their Josh Hawley redemption tour soon, for whatever that is worth, but tweets like this show you many of those who control the party strings will not.

And also waiting at the gates: Letitia James, and the rest of SDNY.

 

If I were Donald Trump, I'd take Suzanne Sugarbaker's advice, buy myself and the rest of my family some dark wigs and get the hell out of town.

Who the hell CARES about Ashli Babbitt's "ideological journey"? Do you think the media would expend this much energy trying to understand how a POC went from average, law-abiding citizen to domestic terrorist? Of course not! They'd just dig up every other, minor offense they'd committed; say, "Well, that's n****rs for ya"; shrug and move on.

 

I'm sorry Ms. Babbitt's loved ones are left to mourn her passing, but please, do not ask me to empathize or sympathize with anyone who decided to storm the halls of government and place others' lives at risk because they didn't get their way. That isn't how (alleged) grown folks are supposed to get things done; and if Ms. Babbitt and her fellow insurrectionists were too childish or ignorant to understand that actions carry consequences, then they have only themselves to blame.

I am no expert but I was a congressional intern one summer and gave tours of the Capitol Building. That place is a [!@#$%^&*] maze and not easy to navigate. There is no way they could get to the rooms they did as easy as they did unless some members of the mob were off-duty Capitol employees and/or some of the on duty Capitol police were helping them.

    • Roger's return storyline may have been silly but Roger's return was what lead to GL's last golden era.  It was the combination of Roger's return and Robert Calhoun becoming EP that got GL to finally hit it's stride after some really bad years. It will always disappoint me that the ratings during Robert Calhoun's run didn't reflect the quality of the show.
    • He also gave some of the best episodes, like the episodes surrounding Doug's death. The problem with Days was that Ron had a horrible vision from he top. I don't feel the same for MVJ and nothing that has happened in all these months suggests she doesn't have a handle on the show. Now if it becomes an issue I'll acknowledge it, but I'm not seeing it so far.
    • Jean Hackney was awful and that lead to Ben's exit story which sucked. I liked Ben/Val together. Val's love for Ben was that of a grown woman moving on with her life and Ben's love for Val made him willingly decide to raise another man's children as his own.
    • It wasn't just a GL thing, it was an 80s thing. Opulent party scenes on soaps were very big back then. Even in regular episodes where people are just going to dinner they're dressed up like they're going to see royalty.
    • Just started the May 27 episode and first thing I see is that Willow got an ugly haircut since hte last time i watched   I dont have the context for how everthing went down but I know its all Lulu's fault which make her a bish for what she did to Gio
    • I'm pretty sure he was. But point taken. GL really had a thing for masked and costumed balls/parties in the '80's. Everyone looks fabulous, but those poor costume designers.
    • Still here ^^ Come on Prime Video, it's due to bring it back!
    • Got through the eighth season, and it was... painful.

    • I agree 100% with both you and Mitch64.  Soaps have been going further and further off-course since 1981. TPTB just don't have a fundamental understanding of what makes soap fans so loyal. I'd love to be on a writing team with both of you.  Maybe we could put together a real soap opera, and show people what its all about...  
    • They weren't in town, but Fletcher worked at the paper (and we saw anniversary Journal headlines for the 50th, although I don't remember if Roger was one of them), and I'd think Alex would have at least heard of him due to the damage he did to Spaulding only a few years before her return to the fold. I know I have to remember it's not real life, of course.
