the best thing to do is ignore the trolls. they come out like bugs in the night but when the light gets turned on they scatter and hide. just try your level best to leave them alone....because they have no rationale to listen to anything you have you have to say if it doesn't fit their narrative and will not try to understand where you are coming from.

I knew that one would show up spouting Trump talking points. Next he'll pivot to the Tony Podesta "scandal." It's amazing to me to see all the Trumphumpers who really think this all ends with Hillary going down for Uranium One. This is why I say we have to find a way to shun these people. They are completely divorced from reality and utterly unreachable.

I'm just talking about the overall state of things in this country since Trump was elected, and how the implosion and disintegration of his administration is happening much sooner than I had expected.  

 

Then again, I think, as destructive as TrumpCo. has been to the country, maybe American government itself has been on a collision course for a long time; and TrumpCo. isn't the train wreck but rather the collateral damage.

 

...Or something like that, lol.

Got you. I was unsure whether you meant the entire American system or the Trump administration.  I think there is definitely a case to be made that the American system is more vulnerable they many of us thought.  Some people saw it, but not me.

 

As for the Trump administration disintegrating quickly, in some ways it's always felt like it was falling apart. Right from the start with the ridiculous lies about crowd size he seemed unglued.  At the same time, I won't trust it's over until someone else is sworn in.

    • When I was a kid, I would watch DOOL with my mom. I remember Denise as Susan so well. And later, of course, on GH. How sad to hear she has passed. RIP.
    • I have to dig that scene up on YT. I'm glad they gave them some kind of happy ending, even if it was really late. Interesting! I remember Justin and Sarah being involved, but I either forgot or never caught their backstory. The girl with money and social position of course turns out to be Jackie. He sort of did to Sarah what Vanessa did to his brother! I do remember Justin started out as not the greatest guy. Kind of a horn dog. It's only when Ross comes on that he becomes the "good" brother. I only have some vague memories of Ben and Hope, mostly of when they were in a positive relationship. He certainly changed over time. "Chill" would be the way I would describe Ben (along with "handsome but kind of a yawn") for most of his time on GL, so hearing he once had a violent temper is very surprising.
    • Yes. That's called good writing.
    • interesting idea.  That makes sense, as MVJ seems to have set up each character development (traits) for future plot developments.
    • I really enjoyed today's episode. It showcased a lot of the other cast and I saw hints of storyline potential (Smitty & Bill). Martin definitely has some anger issues and I recall him being overly scared about protecting his family and having all the doors locked, coming out of one of his "dreams". There's obviously a lot going on there and I can't wait to find out more. I'm thinking June is going to be more than just the issue story of the week. I think she just might be related to one or more of our main characters. As for Tomas, yes, Alex Alegria is not the strongest actor, but he's pretty to look at and he emotes something. I'm just not sure what that something is yet.
    • No. Absolutely No. I don't know who this is... since it's just some random Twitter quote... But NO. The only parallel between OG Caroline's leukemia and Liam's tumor... is that they are both having cancer. That's it. Other than that... I see absolutely no similarities.  Caroline hid her sickness almost till the last moment. She was also giving the viewers signs that she is not well for days if not weeks before the diagnosis. It was not like Liam... falling down and hitting his head on a table and bam he has a tumor. Caroline's storyline broke our hearts, because of her attempt to live out the rest of her days with dignity and grace. It was written slowly and with care. What we are seeing right now with Liam is the complete opposite. It's begging the viewers for empathy and cheap tears. It's so in your face and trashy... I can't believe they are using cancer for something like this. Bradley Bell should never do terminal stuff again in his stories. It's borderline offensive to people who actually have lost relatives to cancer. To me it is.
    • I was thinking that June could be Kat's mother and Eva is Nicole and Ted's.
