Did they have to wait in a long lines?. One of the reasons that I didn't early vote this year (and my dad didn't either) Is because the early voting place in our town is usually pretty packed. It's more packed than a lot of the polling places here. Including the old polling place, I usually vote at. I live in NC and read there were long lines at lot of early voting places here.

 

I don't want any parts of a long line lol (if they can be avoided).

I'm glad they didn't have to stand in the line for too long. It can help that early voting goes on for a bit. I believe it went to like October 31st here in NC.

I voted in person this morning. I'm in Dane County in Madison WI and got in line around 7:25am and was done by around 8:15ish. No craziness, just normalcy. Everyone masked up and 6 ft. apart.  We're gonna flip Wisconsin back to blue

No matter what happens tonight, or whenever a winner is declared, I know I will never again look at this country without thinking about the past four years, or all the attempts to disenfranchise POC from what is supposed to be a free and fair election for all.  My love for and naivete about my country, if I ever had it, is gone forever.

This is how I feel also.  I work for a large international corporation and it's embarrassing.  Coworkers in other countries don't understand what is wrong with us.  And I have no answers because there are no answers.  The general feeling in this country and negativity has been Cheeto fanning discrimination and hate for 4 years.  And he knows who's voting for him.  Just the complete dismissal of Science and any empathy.  

 

Even if he loses, he's probably going to launch a media company so that he can continue to pretend to be a Dictator and tell his followers what they want to hear.  He'll fan the flames from there instead of the Oval Office.

That's not going to be possible now that Deutsche Bank is cutting him loose. All his creditors are going to start calling in his $421 million of debt. Not to mention, NY AG Tish James is just waiting for him to be a private citizen again so she can hit him with state charges. I could see him going into exile in Russia or Saudi Arabia but he's not really valuable to them anymore.

I lost most of that in 2002 and 2003, but I agree with you. Right now I am just hoping we even make it one more day, then another, and then another. I just hope of Trump loses (which is a big if), people do not forget that Trump was not an aberration - he is the face of a party that hates us and hates this country, and wants us dead.

I think I posted before - but I know people in NY that ran in certain circles with Ivanka and crew - and they haven't returned their calls in a couple years.  Likewise, not everything is happy in Sunny Florida.  A lot of people in his community are tired of the Secret Service presence on his trips down there, and here in Northern VA - I'm 2 miles from his golf course where someone flipped him off.  He can win 4 more years but when this is over, their family name has been sullied, and the Republicans know they can never go back but no one will stand up to him.  I think in the end, this could do damage to the Republican party for decades to come, so I guess great for them that they sucked up the Supreme Court.  They'll need it.

    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
    • Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
