Not just selling your soul, but throwing your wife and even your dad under the bus.  I mean, if you were to call MY significant other "ugly," or insinuate that my father had assassinated JFK, you wouldn't have to worry about being banned from Twitter, because you'd be paralyzed from the neck down.  I'm just saying.

There was an incident years ago where a police officer found Cruz's wife sitting on the side of the road and put in his report he thought she was a danger to herself, so I'm not sure how good Cruz's marriage is. She moved to Texas for him, converted to Southern Baptist and is the breadwinner (she called herself that). I think he wanted children to bolster his future image and that he is less serious her than she is about him.

Ted Cruz has no soul to sell. He has always been a craven, disgusting figure, loathed by all around him. He spent his first years in the Senate trying to destroy the government for his Presidential aspirations. He coddled and enabled Trump in 2015 and 2016 assuming that Trump's voters would flock to him, not realizing that many people simply do not like him. He still doesn't understand that no one ever will. 

 

I'm still wary about Manchin already pulling Lieberman stunts, as this didn't really feel like someone talking because they already knew the votes were there (it also caused a market drop which he had to hurriedly half-ass a response to while not actually changing what he said). There is also a lot of sudden push to get Lisa Murkowski to change parties, which doesn't suggest much confidence in him. I guess we will see. I just hope if he has stopped the checks he and his daughter can give us some of their money instead. 

 

It's the latest version of the "I didn't support this man...wait I did...but I didn't really support him" game.

She's sick in the head. I used to enjoy her work up to the early '90s...kind of sad when Madhouse is your last entertaining performance, and when you were only of value when you were coked out of your mind. People should just ignore her, the way all television and film audiences have for 25 years.

    • 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.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
