If anything, we should use these reports, erroneous as they might be, in order to light a proverbial fire under those who still refuse to vote or who can't decide who to vote for.

 

I've said it before, I'm saying it again, and I'll keep on saying it past 11/6: if I can get off MY ass for once and vote, then you have no excuses not to do the same.  None.

 

Once again, if this surprises anyone in the audience, then some of y'all ain't paying attention.

 

NBC is trash.  And so is Megyn Kelly.  But we knew that already.

Didn't Van Jones also make a backhanded compliment about Michelle Obama? 

 

I tend to believe that the Republicans have more enthusiasm, because they pretty much always do in recent decades outside of one or two cycles, but that doesn't make the blatantly biased reporting any better. "Purple wave." The pure joy in that text. They may as well have said "eat the libs." I know Andy Lack wants to. 

 

That Haberman tweet where she is so impressed with Trump's political callousness is something we see over and over with Beltway types. They are so divorced from reality. Chris Cilizza used to tweet that type of stuff all the time too. They can't see humanity anymore. They probably never could.

So reading that Tom Bonier timeline, a couple more things. Early absentee ballot voting in some states is only available to certain populations(seniors, military personnel). Funny how none of us hear about that. And while I do hear more reporting on the voter suppression, I hear nothing about the violent right events.

 

Startling considering the murders over the past 2 years have been primarily from white supremacist/KKK/Nazi's - Charlottesville, the 2 indian men murdered in that Kansas bar by a white man, the 2 men on the train in Portland Or who were defending those 2 young muslim women and the 2 men were murdered, and I won't include Las Vegas shooting or the school shootings.

It's disconcerting that so many people in power are touting these conspiracy theories. It's becoming the norm. No wonder someone put a bomb in GS's mailbox. The right have been making him into a bogeyman for years now.

No, there's no proof that there are Middle Easterners in that caravan...but they just gotta be there (to infiltrate and then kill us all), they just gotta be!

 

I just had the loveliest conversation on FB that ended with me calling one of my FB friend's FB friends a "honky."  So, clearly, this is a hot-button issue for me.

Oh, no.  Don't let "Mike" Bolton include that on his set list.  We don't wanna put any wrong ideas in the Russians' heads.

 

(Other songs to leave off: "Soul Survivor" and "Said I Loved You...But I Lied.")

 This is from Never Trumper David Frum that MSNBC loves to trot out posted this.

 

"If Trump’s opponents stand opposed to policing America’s boundaries, they will not help immigrants—they will only lose votes."

Maybe because a link between The Proud Boys and the Heritage Foundation was recently discovered?  Of course, the press can't be relied upon to actually do some research to verify whether or not this is the case.  Just more rhetoric on caravans thousands of miles away from any U.S. border.

    •     I don't think Neil Wade died in an automobile accident. I think he died of an embolism. Unless he was driving at the time and it caused him to crash. Jeff was the only husband she had who died in a car accident.

      The 50s and 60s are over. Storytelling won't go back to that type. The 80s and 90s are over. Storytelling won't go back to that type.   I understand the nostalgia and enjoying a certain type of storytelling that was popular when growing up/being 20, 30 yrs old. That's why I watch TV series from the 70s and 80s and not as much current television. But I understand that people's attention spans have changed and therefore storytelling has changed and everything has gotten more expensive and there are more and more projects competing for eyeballs and the big flashy stuff is what makes people look up from their phones 5 seconds before going back to them.  We can never go back to before.

      date: Monday, June 9 | Teresa Zimmerman, Lynn Martin | Steven Williford YAY! Caroline is back in action at the law offices. I adore Caroline! She is a woman of business, and she handles her business quite well. Could this be the chance for Tomas to move ahead at Bill Hamilton Esq.? Madison is doing the usual tests for strokes: smiling, holding out the hands, etc., but I do wonder if she'll have him touch the tip of her finger and then the tip of his nose. That one is not easy at all. Trust me, I know! It's about time Derek becomes useful: helping to take down Dana by witnessing her interrogation of Ashley at Orphey Gene's. Oh, Nicole is showing up to question Eva, re: her interactions with Laura. This will either be a bitchfest or it'll be a heartfelt one. Cantankerous? Yes, Ashley! Call it like you see it! Is Tomas working with Katherine to set up Dana? I pray he is!! Child bride needs to calm her ass down; now she's hugging Naomi as if they're besties again? This isn't your "get out of jail" card, sweetheart. The weight that I am sure is now lifted from Eva's shoulders with Nicole accepting her apology? I love that for her. And I am sure, deep down, it helps Nicole to accept and hear it, as well. Dani showing up for Bill and their children? That's love right there, and you can tell how much it not only means for Bill but might also be reminding him of why he fell in love with her. Watch out, child bride; your time might be up by mid-summer! Katherine, you are sneaky... but I do have this sneaking suspicion this is going to blow up right back into your face before you know it. The awkward face-to-face with Chelsea and Madison. Dani introducing herself as "the first wife" is hilarious. I love it. Chelsea and Madison openly flirting in the hospital by the elevator is super cute!! Notes: Trisha Mann-Grant (Dana) continues to serve up the right amount of camp for American daytime. She's almost too good for daytime. I appreciate the new viewpoint of the outside of Dana's apartment. Nice that we can get these viewpoints that other soaps wouldn't dare to explore. Tide is seen in the scene; Tide commercials air right after. Today's jacket on Alex Alegria (Tomas) fits better than the past few he's worn. Hoping this trend continues.
