Yeah me too, but it's probably here to stay. 

 

I'm hopeful the Republicans will pressure him to resign because he's humiliating them. Maybe this is finally the straw that breaks the camel's back, but Trump is crazy good at manipulating the news cycle.  That's his one undeniable talent.

Trump could care less what the rest of the world thinks of him.  He's a racist and a misogynist, but so what?  In his eyes, he is a winner, and everyone else is a loser.  (Boy, did Papa Fred really do a number on his kid!)  So, go ahead, call him whatever you like, pressure him however you want, but he's still the president and you're still...not.

 

No, if Trump ever resigned, it'd be for one reason and one reason only: because doing so would mean the difference between remaining a free man or perhaps spending the rest of his life behind bars; and even then, I'm not so sure Trump wouldn't take his chances with the court.

This is the passive racism we keep talking about - how when it's confronted or threatened people react with pure emotion (or in the case of the nationalist marchers in Charlottesville, fury and radicalization). There is a large swath of white America which cannot deal with this being faced up to without melting down.

^ Good lord. It's not all about you *****! (referring to Melissa)

 

I want to believe that we will find ourselves in a better place after the smoke clears, but I don't.  One look at recent world history tells me that people are probably not going to become more tolerant any time soon. One thing that really hamstrings our country in the regard is not having a national educational system.  If you could start socializing people to be tolerant as children you might be able to counter some of the other more negative messages they receive elsewhere.

Yep. And I keep hearing people say, but all those people will be dead soon. Yeah, well that's not really how it works. I didn't see a lot of 80 year olds marching on Saturday.  They don't need to have huge numbers to do a lot of damage to our society.  The internet is such a good tool for the Nazis to recruit directionless young people. It's terrifying.

Apparently President Obama's tweet reacting to Charlottesville is officially the most liked (favorited) tweet in Twitter's history. People must truly be missing a President who can articulate empathy and warmth in times of crisis.

 

20 min ago Obama's Charlottesville reaction most-liked tweet

Well, Trump feels good about himself, and so do the white supremacists.  All I can say is, stay safe, my fellow racial and ethnic minorities and POC.  Because, Lord only knows what's gonna happen next.

    • I feel like AMC would be the easiest of their soaps to revive but a reboot seems cursed at this point. I wish we had more insight on what was pitched for the primetime reboot as well as these movies. That would give us a better idea of why it keeps getting shot down.
    • Mansion of the Damned sure is a "talkative" horror movie.  In the past when I've watched those episodes, I was paying attention to The Edge of Night characters and not really zeroing in on the rehearsals/blocking/filming of the actual movie.  This time I've been following the plot of Mansion of the Damned pretty closely, and all I can say is Hester Atherton and Nicholas Harriman are about the most chit-chatty Witch and Devil I've ever heard in my life!     
    • Ashley and Derek have been so isolated that I need the show to develop something, anything to justify their presence. It's not that I think Joey being her father will be the greatest story ever told but at least it would be something and connect her to more characters. I just need the show to move forward with them. Out of all the characters, these are the only two with no storyline/development. We have recurring characters who are better used with less screentime. If the show is going to keep them on contract they need to do something with them.
    • I never thought I'd say it, but SC is B&B's best male actor - by far. SK is next. Has there ever been a US soap that has so much female talent surrounding by Himbos? KKL, JMW, HT, KB, AN, RB could be/have been leading ladies on any other soap. Even the secondary females are the ones who carry their scenes. It's been rare periods when B&B actually had a few solid male cast members. JMW really did a great job in the scenes with AN. Considering everything we've witnessed the past couple of years with Steffy/Hope, I thought reveal may ring hollow. JMW proved me wrong. No doubt this is Emmy material.
    • You won't even accept a minute cameo from Ms Marcil herself so she can collect her cheque?
    • Which has also slowed down from 100 pages a day, but I digress.

          Yeah. When even I am getting annoyed with it (and still need to catch up on DAYS new team...two weeks behind now grrr) enough to take a break...and B&B holds my interest more for a show where nothing is going on...it's a BAD sign.   Seriously thinking about that break until

       Then we go from there. I just can't believe JG just went and lost all the momentum that was built up over the last month. And during May Sweeps, too? No, ma'am.
    • Works for me!!! Just the back of some brunettes head and a hug lol on the Island And also, I like how it's brand new info Mo was good at his job in the 90's.  That's pretty much the entire reason he's still on the show.
    • I recently edited an older episode to do a Denise Alexander edit but Mo was in scenes & I had forgotten that back then he was actually good at his job.  The contrast with today is well alarming.
