I often wonder what happened to real conservatives. My dad was one and even voted for Reagan, finally realizing that Reagan was no conservative with ballooning deficits and infiltration on issues he felt gvmt had no business being in.  My dad also loved FDR.

 

I am amazed how any woman, PoC,  LGBTQ could support those who feel we are no better than scum on the bottom of their shoe, only live to serve them, only live to be a baby machine, and the list goes on. Small gvmt unless it's handing out welfare to corporations, giving billionaires massive tax breaks, while pitting we serfs against one another for crumbs while secretly supporting those evil illegals because you know, they are their slave labor, because that's how they view all of us.

 

When did conservatism become a bloating military industrial complex, private prison complex - oh right its about greed and enriching their rich friends which is why endless wars continue and we keep jailing people. Who do people think is running those baby camps on the border? Not the US gvmt but Jeff Sessions private prison shareholder friends.

 

This says it all .

When do the real conservatives stand up and say stay out of my personal life. Modern conservatism is a farce and joke.

This is why Bernie 2020 is dead in the water. For the next two years we are going to learn more details about how he was used by the Kremlin to attack our democracy. Hearings and investigations and reports and indictments will keep bringing it up and eventually he will become synonymous with it.  He won't be able to escape it and he's not prepared to address it.

That Patreon story is interesting. This happens again and again with far-right extremists. They always say terrible things, get booted, cry censorship, and get more money coming in while becoming even more extreme. 

 

Dave Rubin used to be with the Young Turks, and then presumably left because he saw there was more money in claiming to be too oppressed by attacks on free speech from out of control liberals. It will be interesting to see what he does now that the money is drying up.

       about it I think Jan is a fine supporting part for a solid daytime vet (probably someone from the P&G soaps), as opposed to someone from the production location who is clearly cheaper. Which seems to govern some casting. I get the rationale, but I would start going through the ATWT/GL, etc. rolodex myself.
    • I dont mind Jan. She's good in the minor capacity she is used. 
    • tbqh I don't care about Jan, I don't care about Ashley and I think Jon Lindstrom as Joey is an acquired taste. Jon is a great actor but certain things are in his zone and then some are not. Some days I find Joey credible and compelling, but the stuff with him hanging around the Golden Corral, grumbling about Doug and bitching at Randy is not amazing. If he had material on par with what MVJ wrote for Ryan/Kevin on GH back in the day it'd be a different story. I do think he has real chemistry with Vanessa, which is in large part due to MVJ clearly molding that character (and hiring an appropriate actor) in the Lucy Coe vein when she reinvented Lucy in the '90s as well. But I am not here to spend 6+ months watching Jon glower a lot (which is what he's doing half the time to carry weak story) and make more vague dire pronouncements while Jen Jacob gets flustered and weepy over "Daddy" or whatever would come of that storyline. Putting them together sounds like a recipe for doom to me. But I may be in the minority on that.
    • I know this will never happen. But... Halle Berry as Dani Dupree(BTG). She would rock this role, it's in her wheelhouse.
    • When I see how bad the Ashley/Derek scenes are, I know there must be a larger purpose and Joey being her father is the thing that makes the most sense.  My take on it is that Ashley knows Joey is her father but doesn't know Joey. Maybe he was there when she was a child or just not around at all but I believe Jan when she says she didn't lie to her daughter about who her father was. Maybe she left him when she discovered his dangerous lifestyle.  I do think they could really jump start the character of Ashley if they hurry and do this. Jan is a great character and her scenes with Ashley have been helpful. This would further integrate Ashley into the canvas and give her something dramatic to do. With her working at the hospital along with Doug, it could lead to complications if she learns Doug is involved with her father. I just need is sooner rather than later because Derek is tanking her character. I need a distraction.
