I guess that "I don't really care do u" jacket was as much a message to her husband as to the dying kids. 

 

Who was the last First Lady to be as utterly worthless and callous as she is anyway? How far back does it go?

I knew it!  I knew that was the reason it took her behind so long to move her behind into the White House!  She was likely also still shagging the Tiffany security guy. The fact will also remain that Trump has to pay women to be with him, ring or no ring.

 

 

Trump gatherings are like Klan rallies anyway, might as well make it official.

And he did the latter on the anniversary of the Pulse shootings in Tampa. 

 

He must have some old Reagan people working for him as I think Reagan did a lot of this [!@#$%^&*] early on. I'd love to say it won't work, but I'm not going to assume anything about this country.

I'm sorry. NONE of that is coincidence. First he wants to do a rally at the site of a black massarce, and then he does plan to do a second attempt at one at another place of racist history and now he got a law that aims at Trans on the anniversary of a shooting at a gay club.

 

He is seen. And he really is picking the wrong fight.

More on the Kentucky Senate Dem primary. 

 

It's hard to imagine either of them beating McConnell so I mostly just wonder who will drive more turnout in November to help downballot. 


Normally I would say the main party has better instincts than Bernie and friends, but I've been wary about Amy McGrath ever since that Kavanaugh flub, and many in the state party also seem wary of her.

There is some weird-ass primary going on in Virginia at the moment, with a "libertarian" first-term Republican likely to be defeated by a more traditional hatemonger. The primary itself is completely baffling and anti-democratic. This is a district that, with the right circumstances, could go blue this year - I guess we'll see. Anyway, the primary itself was a complete trainwreck.

How truly pathetic to see all the hype about various racist reactionaries with nothing to live for but faux-pride going out in the streets to "protect" the Alamo from something that isn't even happening, just social media lies and rumors. Even worse is Jeb Bush's wizened son, who has no career in the GOP no matter how much of Trump's fat ass is on display for his lips, doing this "Don't Mess with the Alamo" posturing when the same people he's pretending to give a damn about would not spit on him if he were on fire.

    • It sure was!  With respect, how does that make sense?  These men are young, I don't see that. 
    • I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

    • I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.
    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.  
    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
