Yeah, there were a few lines that I read from a few of the people that cause me to roll my eyes.   Also, the guy that said that he was conflicted because although he disagreed with Trump's stance on immigration, he believes Trump is a man of God .  I couldn't help but think that this guy really needed to get out of his bubble.  Trump may be a lot of things but a devout Christian is NOT one of them.  I was raised in church, have relatives who have done missionary work and I don't recognize Trump's brand of Christianity.

I've forgotten that this type of style has now permeated the pulpit.  I never expected a twenty-something year old man would be taken in by the kind of philosophy that Jimmy Swaggart promoted.

 

 

Why so expensive? Did the side-piece go on the trip too?

 

This sounds like some much needed good news.

I'm glad you posted this @Khan so I didn't have to.

The actual document, which is stored in 'the cloud' is available with a quick online search.  With each L that Trump Inc. takes, it draws even sharper focus on his haste to try to reshape the courts.

^ He really is a monster.  I can't believe we have a minimum of 2 more years of this.  Yeah, he could die, but I've never been the optimistic sort.

 

I'm headed to Temple Israel for Shabbat service tonight.  I dread it to be honest.  The people there have always welcomed me even though I'm an outsider. I hate to see them in so much pain thanks to blind hatred.

Michael Cohen has dropped a November bomb. Thrilled to see it, although none of these revelations surprise anyone about Trump. 

I'm tempted to do it myself. 

That is a very good observation. They basically are finding things to feed their crazy. I know social media has totally changed my opinion of the American public. About half are complete imbeciles.

None of the people who run the major Hollywood studios can be called liberal by any stretch of the imagination. 

Having some vocal actors and a few directors and some writers, who also happen to be liberal doesn't constitute an entire industry being that way. The people with actual power to greenlight a movie or a series are almost always conservative and it has been this way going back to the days of MGM and Louis B. Mayer.

 

Many people look at actors and think that they run the industry.  They don't.

 

We've actually discussed this topic in the Movies and Music Thread and lately, also in the Hollywood Sexual Assault/Sexual Harassment thread in the Off-Topic Section.

 

 

 

Despite, the ruling in Georgia, I see the voter suppression handbook is still at work in some states.

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      I don't expect Lois to be the same person she was 25 years ago, but she's definitely lost a lot of what made Lois unique.  It's clear the show doesn't know how to write for her, and the sole purpose of Lois is to hide this Gio secret.  It's a shame she doesn't interact with more of the canvas.  It's a waste of Rena's talents. I like Brook Kerr most of the time.  She can be hit or miss.  I totally get what you are saying about her line readings too.  I honestly think the character really suffers being stuck in the Curtis pairing.  She's much better than Tanisha Harper's Jordan lol.

      Friday and yesterday's episode is what daytime television should be. The other shows airing could take a page from yesterday's show.  I loved the rage, hurt and anger Nicole unleashed on Ted.  Daphnee should be up for an Emmy nom for these scenes.  It broke my heart to see how Dana had locked Eva out.  I do feel sorry for Eva.    I am still bumfuzzled as to why Leslie/Dana went to the DuPree's and asked them to accept Kat UNLESS Eva is really Kat's twin (and really Nicole and Ted's daughter that maybe they though they lost or an embryo Dana/Leslie stole??) I loved how Anita and Vernon both shot her down.    Ohhh and let me just say Friday and yesterday was the MOST fire I have seen Martin have since the show started.  Maybe Brandon Clayborn is coming into his own with the role finally.

      You've been seeing him all along. You just didn't know it was him, I guess.

      Where to for Dana? She's pissed off the Duprees (most of the cast), alienated her daughter and will she be welcomed by the Have Nots at the diner? Maybe she can befriend Ashley and Derek and liven up their story.

      I think of Evan as a smarmy bast*rd. Maybe you'll like that description. You certainly have him pegged correctly since he is just a soldier following "Admiral" Iris's marching orders.

      So far the only interest I've seen from Evan to Amanda has been listening to Iris's orders to go and seduce her.  So far he hasn't been successful... but who knows. Amanda is unbearable at times. Entitled, spoiled... idiotic. Iris... so blatantly manipulating her and Amanda takes the bait. But I guess... when she gets in trouble... she'll have a chance to learn. That's what makes these shows so interesting.    Oh, no, don't worry. You haven't ruined a thing. Evan has not been on my radar that much... he was not one of the characters I was caring particularly... so nothing much has been changed for me. I don't think he has the stuff to ruin Rachel's life. He's just a pretty guy that can follow orders. Iris on the other hand... is dangerous.

        P.S Maybe Evan will surprise me. Who knows.

      The show has gone back to 10/10 entertainment! I'm glad that I was right in feeling that what were experiencing were growing pains. I'm sure they are not over yet, but I'll know that we always comeback to quality drama. I think it's going to be a hell of ride (in a good way) from this moment on. BTG has that magic that not a lot of shows have. I'll update more... when I'm done catching up.

      So very glad to hear this. Yesterday I suddenly thought; OMG, what about spoilers, have I just  ruined things for Maxim in getting carried away with interest in Evan, who was so well-written & well-acted. BTW, your fan review of this episode was a sight for eyes that had not seen one of these for a little bit too long, LOL!!!  Mitch is also fascinating to me but in his case it's because he was all in with Janice & her nefarious plan & then he did this turnabout we've mentioned & he basically got off scot-free.
