I try not to get too hung up on "decency" stuff because I'm reminded of all the times we were told how kind and loving W was in spite of all the blood on his hands, but I do think this was a profoundly kind moment for Biden, especially as Dole endorsed Trump.

The SCOTUS decision on Old Orange face's taxes come as no surprise. Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Coney Barrett may be 45's plants but they certainly don't want to be seen as 45's pigeons, especially by their SCOTUS colleagues with whom they must work with.

 

Having missed the spirit of "Fat Tuesday", I hope to soon be able to say "Laissez le bon temps roulez" for the SDNY.

A look at the upcoming, crippling voter suppression laws in Georgia. The journalist, sadly like many political journalists on Twitter, tried to be "down" and ended up confusing many people with his wording - the legislation is not being dropped, it is going forward.

While, my Wi-Fi and phone battle for loading supremacy, can people please refer to a bill as a bill and not a law? Also, if something is being unveiled and it has yet to even pass one side of a legislature, isn't it really still a proposal?

I'm not dismissing the severity of the threat but I saw this happen often in the buildup to the general election and the GA Senate runoff and it had the air of inevitability that, thankfully was in error.

 

Words do have meaning.

Let's not call something what it isn't, until it is.

    • Absolutely! Brad should've simply moved on from Lunacy. There's no point of freeing her, if you're not going to at least make an attempt at redemption or incorporating her into the fold. It happened with Quinn, who committed quite a few felonies before become the Forrester Matriarch.  Heck, keep Lunacy in prison and have Poppy/Finn discover that she gave birth to twins - 'Sunny' could've come on with a clean slate and still had Sheila/Finn and all the other drama. It certainly couldn't have been worse than what we've witnessed with the destruction of $B.    
    • I would enjoy it if Swan popped up on BTG as an old one time friend/mentor of Anita’s for a cameo. This is just

    • I had totally forgotten that Courtney story. I see Burton was already phoning it in by that point.
    • omg I completely missed that, but now when I see it typed here in your post, it's obvious icky cringe. So now I just checked and Tomas said that -- on May 27 that he likes the author Carl Ivati.  He said it with sort of an accent, so I didn't catch the stupid joke or think about the spelling.   I remember when that aired, that I actually said to myself at the time, "I wonder if that's a Latin American author, and I will have to google him later." And now I see your post, and I see. Well that's cringe, and I feel stupid to have fallen for it.

    • There's a lot you don't need if you have the writing.  You don't even need large casts!  You could make do with a cast of 12-18 actors if the writing is there.
    • Thank you. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with sleeping around if your spouse actually knows about it. She’s just a cheating slut.
    • OMG...Robert Mandan! And Donna Mills is a child. I keep hoping for more of early Ross/Vanessa.
    • I get your point, but I also know that if the roles were reversed -- if a man were screwing around on a woman this way -- everyone would be all "All with his head!" When I say Vanessa needs therapy, I'm actually being kind, because I could begin and end with the fact that she's a cheating slut.
    • Is nobody going to mention the cringefest that is 'Carl Ivati'?
    • I've accepted we'll probably never see any of the Roger/Holly 1976-1978 storyline. Whenever any of Roger/Holly 1979 and 1980 storylines surface, those are must watch as they set in motion everything we saw a decade later.
