They also liked how Trump sold himself as this mega-successful businessman (and "reality star") whose very name was emblazoned on everything from skyscrapers to ice cream.  Deep down, we Americans are suckers for the J.R. Ewing types.

Each woman who has accused Kavanaugh should file civil suits against him. It's a lot easier to get favorable rulings from civil suits. He should be tainted for the rest of his career even if he did make it to the court. He doesn't deserve one ounce of respect.

IA.  I think that upsets me more than the fact that Kav will be confirmed.  Across the globe, women are witnessing what's happening, and they're taking it as a sign that, if you are a victim of sexual violence, don't bother coming forward, because no one will believe you.

 

 

Absolutely, ICAM.

Americans also claim to love pulled-up-from-bootstraps narratives and with Trump's father giving him the equivalent of $14 million (in today's dollars) to start out in life, his is certainly no such narrative. 

 

Also, when Hillary first ran, America claimed to dislike dynasties but the Trumps are nothing, if not a contemporary version of a dynasty.  A dynasty built on grifting and constant tax evasion but a dynasty nonetheless.  Or does that criticism only hold for Democratic candidates?

 

 

That's probably the best way for these women to get some type of measure of justice.

 

I also think that the Democrats, should they get a majority somehow, should pursue a full investigation with an eye toward impeachment proceedings. A Supreme court justice can be impeached.

Good point. People do idolize the rich in this country, which is unfortunate to say the least.  If anything we need fewer wealthy white men in office, but I have a feeling we'll be getting a lot more of them over the next couple of years. At least in terms of the positions 45 has control over.

That's how I've always felt about Clarence Thomas as well.  They are two of a kind in my book. 

And young men are taking it as further confirmation that you can do whatever you want to women and still rise to the highest positions in the land.  It's really disturbing, but that's our reality.

Deep down I feared that Kavanaugh would be confirmed, yet I held out hope that somehow justice would prevail.....  

I hate to think about the message this sends to women (and men) who have been sexually abused, and to men (and women) who have sexually abused.

Excuse me, "a lot of work"?  Does that man have any idea how much work your average woman DOES every day?  Not just in business, but (for many) as wife and mother?

 

Of course he doesn't.  He doesn't have any idea, because he has a penis; and those with penises think only with their penises.

 

Go home, Chuck.  You're out of touch.

      The greatest tv series season finale in history.   
    • Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe. 
    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna? 
    • This is the coldest early June in my life. It's like it's January.

    • Now this strikes me as funny. I have it up on my acct. The thing is I only have S2. Didn't want either 1 or 3.  Perhaps I should just list all of these that I have up.  Parodies: Dirty Sexy Money, Filthy Rich Incomplete: The Monroes, All That Glitters, Falcon Crest (have all just not all up), Once & Again S2 only Complete: Models Inc, Pasadena, Pacific Palisades, Paper Dolls, Flamingo Road  
    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!

    • In case it is of interest to anyone here, I have digital copies (computer files, mp4 etc.) of all of the episodes. And, besides having the files they are all up on my usual video hosting site, acct name: shallotpeel, channel it is in: Primetime Soaps and file names like  Flamingo Road S1E15 Hurricane Flamingo Road was a primetime soap on NBC by Lorimar Productions. 2 seasons. 1980-1982. Morgan Fairchild, Barbara Rush. Developed by Rita Lakin.   
    • Arguably DAYS OF OUR LIVES has been brilliant lately & definitely was last week. But, here I am with nitpick & technicalities. This was the only misstep but it was just a stupid thing that should have been caught. Deidre Hall as Marlena has this one problematic line, "It didn't matter how many identities you had, I always knew exactly who you were, you were the man who saved my life." - Marlena, DAYS, 6-2-25 Unfortunately the flashback closest to it was when Marlena was on the phone, terrified because she thought he was Stefano. Yes, it's true that the line is not accurate. There were many times when she did not feel the way she is claiming because of whatever was going on in story with his 'retconned to hell & back' identity & origin story. Does it keep the whole week from being called excellent? Nope.
