I'm very glad you're back. This board is not the same without you.

I'm hoping that as VP she can cut through it. She really would have been dragged to hell and back if she were the presidential nominee. That's not to say she shouldn't/couldn't do it. Every woman who has ever gained power had to be ambitious enough to push past the hate.  Still, I'll be honest. I'm thrilled he picked a woman, but I almost wish he had picked a black man instead. At least we know it's possible to elect a black man to the highest office.

I can't tell anyone how thrilled i am he chose Harris. She's amazing.  And tough. I find her like I find Lori Lightfoot . These black women know exactly what they are walking into, the attacks being thrown at them, but will persevere because they are brilliant and tough. I don't think there is anything they are going to throw at Harris she's not prepared for or that hasn't been aimed at her already.

 

On a side note I have to laugh at this. Phony and predictable

 

"Records show that Trump donated to Kamala Harris' campaigns twice while he was a private citizen"

@DramatistDreamer that is hilarious, yet, somehow I would not be surprised if that tweet, rather than his years of allegedly misappropriating funds and of exploiting the pain and death of black people to grift for cash, is what ends him on the left. 

 

I saw this last night:

 

 

Pretty much the dregs of the dregs - Bragman is a Trump supporter, Brie Brie is one of the worst campaign strategists ever, one who spent more time praising Joe Rogan and hating John Lewis than actually doing her job, Michael Tracey is so loathsome even many on the left have given up. 

 

Biden and his team never seemed to have any real interest in courting these dead-enders, and if he wins that is one of the reasons why. 

 

Speaking of dead-enders, some of the above spend much of their time now defending Congressional candidate Alex Morse, claiming it's homophobic and "sex policing" to object to a college lecturer and a small-town mayor deciding to basically trawl the campus for male students to hook up with. (he says none were his students but the power imbalance is still there)

These same people, like Brie Brie and Ryan Grim, were among the loudest voices pushing the Tara Reade allegations. Shocking, isn't it?

 

There is the usual "but Pete Buttigieg!!!" frothing (from the same people who loved to launch homophobic attacks against Buttigieg and his husband), but this, from Glenn Greenwald (who probably has the most reason to be wary about this story given his husband), really takes the cake:

 

 

This was a big controversy at the time, and is one of many reasons that some were wary about Macron. That the far left is now passing this off as the model relationship speaks volumes.

This Republican strategist, I kid you not, called Kamala Harris a "safe, boring" pick for Joe, then, in less than five minutes, calls her a radical leftists.  Last night you have Dinesh D'Souza out here making a fool of out himself, claiming that Kamala is not Black, descended from a British slavemaster, yet claiming Jamaica had no history of slavery.

These Republicans are out here embarrassing themselves. What a mess.

 

Interesting that one of the largest media outlets in India chose this image for their social media feed.

The crazy racist attacks started right on time...and the "she isn't African American" attacks, like Mark Levin saying she wouldn't understand the African American experience of slavery since her father was Jamaican. Just insane. I just hope people won't fall for it.

    • Oh yes, that would be grand!  But Ken Corday will never allow that.  No executive-producer wants to hear people rave about how good his show "used to be".   
    • Not just that but Im sure she will be blamed for trying to poison Laura with potassium. Remember when Nicole started to put the pieces together that someone may have tampered with her IV? She dropped it bc she got distracted with the party, but they did make a note to mention that Eva lied and sent a card and flowers there on Nicole's behalf. Im sure they will say that that was just a cover for her to be in Laura's room and come for her
    • Susan named her son after her father, Richard, and they called him Dickie, for short. David had bought Dickie a play swing but it was too big for him. One day, while David was babysitting, he put Dickie in the swing, took his eyes off of him for a few seconds and he fell out of the swing, hit his head and died. Susan was so devastated that she shot and killed David only like a few episodes later. 
    • Mickey Horton got her off, temporary insanity. Edit to add: If only Peacock would air this storyline.  Edit to add: David was supposed to be watching the child. Wasn't. Child fell out of swing, broke his neck. The show had the camera focus on that empty swing, just barely moving ...   
    • oooh....the '76 plot thickens... thanks @Paul Raven

        New interview!! I was like Penny, aka Janet, and said, "That's the end???"
    • You're really in for it, because those rants continue for 3 episodes. I was struck by how ho-hum those cliffhangers were. It was like the writers ran out of gas.
    • New Tomas pleaseeeeeeee!!

    • Thank you for the clarification, but Susan didn't name her child after David.  It was Julie who named her own son David.   And how/when was Susan's son killed?  And didn't Susan kill David Martin and stand trial for his murder?   The genius of Bill Bell -- truly.  
    • I truly wish we could see more of her work on DAYS. And more of her early stuff on GH, but at least we know that Corday’s DAYS vault is virtually complete, especially compared to GH. Lesley was a pivotal character. I think the scenes with the confrontation with Monica are so good because there is a lot of character in those lines and performances. Monica is ferocious, desperate. And Lesley is not a victim, she holds her own and calls Monica out, playing her own form of anger. Evenly matched. Soap confrontations have largely forgotten that both sides should be evenly matched, even if someone has wronged another. To me, that scene is easily in my soap hall of fame. They didn’t make enough of her return, which has always bothered me. I would have loved for her to end up vying for control of the hospital when Alan was incapacitated by drugs, helping him through that crisis and finding herself at odds with Monica again on a different level, not as romantic rivals. She had such a long career! Acting in radio shows as a little kid, through her GH spots as few years ago. That’s quite a ride.
