Beto talking about Netanyahu. It took me a couple of seconds to realize he wasn't talking about the Republicans.

 

"That relationship, if it is to be successful, must transcend partisanship in the United States, and it must be able to transcend a prime minister who is racist, as he warns about Arabs coming to the polls, who wants to defy any prospect for peace as he threatens to annex the West Bank, and who has sided with a far-right, racist party in order to maintain his hold on power," O'Rourke said.

Funny timing as I just saw a Bernie supporter on Twitter who was tearing apart Democrats for bipartisanship, tearing apart Beto and Kamala, and tearing apart anti-immigration talk. 

 

They won't be saying a word about any of this.

I simply do not understand all these folks on both sides of the political aisle who run around, screaming like Melissa Manchester about how there's "just too many people" either here already or who want to come over.  Seriously?  We're THAT overcrowded?  There's THAT many people throughout the rest of the world of whom we have to be afraid?

I can understand the hesitancy. Germany, for instance, let tons of people in without proper planning, which led to big problems, including a wave of rapes. But there are ways to say this without doing what he's doing, which is basically going "Yuck."

I pray to God Bernie does NOT get the nomination. Because - despite the ANYONE but Trump attitude for 2020 - I cannot support Trump Lite of the left. And he is. Down to not releasing HIS taxes. Go the f-u-c-k home, Bernie.

If he doesn't get the nomination in 2020, he'll just come back in 2024 and try again.  And again.  And again.

 

Bernie will never go away.  Ever.

He's 77 years old, so I'll have to disagree with you there.

More seriously his hard core supporters were so hateful last time, I'm completely against them getting their way this time.  I saw so many people rooting for Trump so the country would suffer and turn hard left. No thanks!

      I do not think I have ever agreed with Vee. Normally I do not read him, Ignore ya know. For some unknown reason I clicked to read. And I agree 1000%. Now, this is so odd that I need to go away for a bit.

      ALL: Drag/Crossdressing Disguises in Soap Operas?

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      Justine had a lot of hooey in it, but she was an actual woman, not a guy in drag. She was a doppelganger of Rachel, French, having had a past history with Carl, etc. Two of the more outrageous parts-Justine bricking alive Vicky into a wall & Justine grinding the gears driving a big rig.

      Jill Farren Phelps was always very skilled at saying what she meant onscreen in the bluntest way possible, like whenever she wanted fans to support one character vs. the other (hence Megan McTavish groaning about having to write Kale Browne's Sam Rappaport into three days a week at OLTL). Perhaps you should consider doing the same. Historically your intent is always far more obvious than your efforts at coy embroidery anyway. You believe people are dismissing Phelps' accomplishments, and suggest misogyny and fan blinders allow people to too easily pigeonhole and dismiss her skill set. I think we all understand her varied skill set. We're saying it's not enough to make up for her deficiencies as a storyteller and creative. JFP was undoubtedly a skilled technical producer. As a solo storyteller, and de facto HW, she was a repeat and predictable failure. She was not the first or last EP (male or female) to think she was a writer. If you want us to stop taking your behavior personally when you suggest misogyny is at play in board opinions of JFP, perhaps you should consider spending the next 10+ years here not acting like you're the only one who gets it.

      Melissa was here today & we went to Michael's Crafts & Ofc Depot. In Michael's there were two beautiful LITTLE girls who kept staring at me, so I gave them a littel wave & very quietly said HI & then did back. I told Melissa they were staring at me. She smiled & said "Purple. A lot of little girls love purple & you forget but you have purple hair. Seeing you their whole imaginations are transformed! Thinking "That lady has purple hair. That means I can have purple hair! They had no clue before seeing you that it was possible." I just laughed & laughed.

      This opening scene is hilarious...it's like someone wrote out the script for Philip with one hand. And Rick...sniffing a scarf over and over. And in their next scene they are still sniffing the [!@#$%^&*] scarf as the camera stays all over Philip's bare chest and armpits as he keeps working out. Insane stuff.
