Anyone (I don't mean anyone here) who is waiting on a split or reckoning for the GOP is in for a very long wait, IMO.

 

In other news:

 

I keep waiting to hear more smugging from those mutants like Joe Rogan and Elon Musk. 

 

Wretched as he is, Ben Shapiro had the right idea to not relocate to a state that is so paper thin underneath the posturing.

Thanks for asking, @Juliajms.  Mama Khan and I are doing okay.  At the moment, rolling blackouts are on hold here in OK, but that could change as The Winter of Our Discontent rages on.

 

 

Thanks, @JaneAusten, for helping me to understand Manchin and Sinema's positions better!

 

 

I doubt that "uneasy Rs" will drift, or that we're on the verge of having a 3-party system.  Some might get fed up with Trumpism and become Independents, but I don't believe it will be enough to make any difference in the long run.

Everything with McConnell and Trump is theater. McConnell can go cry into his millions, while Trump gets endless gushing media coverage and pining. It's another way to keep him in the news and build more steam for the lie that the GOP is somehow split or a big tent.

He's right about vaccinating teachers. We should not be asking people to put their lives at risk in order to teach our children. That goes for daycare workers as well. We should have been smarter in the beginning and paid everyone who works with the public a monthly amount to stay home, but communism.

At least we don't seem that far off from everyone who wants a shot getting one. I feel like we are very lucky that scientists were able to come up with a vaccine so quickly. Also lucky that this virus didn't have a higher death rate. Now we know that we are going to be seriously f*cked if a more serious virus hits because so many people out there are just completely unwilling to cooperate.

    • This is (maybe) overly simplistic and nonsoapy, but Doug needs to go to Gamblers Anonymous, to deal with the addictive neurological excitement hits that gambling gives him - and which control his life. Vanessa needs to go to therapy to find ways to remain healthfully lusty and sex-positive, but to stay away from anyone who would demean her.
    • YT keeps commending GL clips to me. I discovered Kathleen Cullen was on in Christmas 1987. Was there any talk of making it permanent  or was this just a special visit? I wish they had made the visit permanent. I liked her chemistry with Grant Aleksander.  
    • I'm not sure it's as unpopular as you think.  I just think the show knew they were in a bind, and needed a proven couple for the viewers to invest in. Trying to reunite Vanessa and Ross had just failed in 87. I don't think Ed and Holly's affair was well received, as Simon and Garrett had a brother/sister chemistry. Enter Billy and Vanessa, who give you history and an out not to try and do a Josh/Reva/Billy triangle, which would've really wrecked the relationship between Josh and Billy. I'd have been ok with trying Vanessa/Ross again, and doing a Vanessa/Ross/Holly/Billy quad for a while. I hated Nadine. HATED. She had to be the most insufferable also-ran before ATWT's Julia Lindsay. This is where I wish I knew Roger's history better.

    • GROSS. Michael Swan was hot back in his ATWT days. Now he's 76 and WAY past his hot years.    
    • Since she kidnapped, locked up and tried to kill her father's wife I'd say that is still a pretty big deal
    • I'm good with the gushing, too. There aren't many soap icons like John Black, and that's important to celebrate and remember. And yes, life does go on for other characters, but as they say, timing is everything. Going sky diving the day before the funeral? And during a week of shows that were so powerful emotionally? No.    
    • No. There might have been a slight pause for dramatic effect after his "death," but pretty soon after they showed him in France getting plastic surgery and getting involved with his doctor, then planning with her to bring Christina to France. (She thought he had good reason to do it; she wasn't a bad person or anything). Now that I think of it, there must have been some kind of pause before that, during the 70s. Rita was accused of killing a private patient for an inheritance when she lived in Texas. Part of the backstory was that Roger had been there, too. Not sure exactly when or how long that was.
