If this is truly the case, I hope Senate Democrats run right over Mitch McConnell on the way to get the infrastructure bill done. It would serve 'ole Mitch right after he has stood in the way of progress and tried to block anything good from happening for the better part of a decade. Maybe, just maybe Democrats will be able to show him that his deliberate inaction as an act of sabotage will have consequences that will impact him and his cronies negatively.

I hope he gets severely outmaneuvered.

 

 

Also, I hope the tweet means 2021, not 2020.

 

Looks legit.

I was glad to see some high-profile Twitter pundits asking the press to actually push McConnell on what they are planning to do. Sadly, they know they can just keep using buzzwords, or posing with Pepsi cans, and the media, along with sympathetic voices like Matt Stoller, will carry the narrative for them and make enough people think they are standing up to big business.

 

I see that Manchin and Mark Warner are now complaining about the infrastructure bill not being pro-corporate enough. I guess we will see how much of it they ruin...

Not enough people will believe it, no. The polling and public reaction is against them. That's why McConnelI is squawking so loud - because what Biden is doing is working.

 

Manchin didn't ruin the last bill and he won't ruin this one. So much of what he's doing is just tacky posturing.

    • I mentioned that last week and I am glad Tate and Sophia just realized that today lol.  I think the show is just tying up some of Ron's loose ends.   You would think Brady, Holly or even Marlena would have perhaps pointed out the age thing to Tate at some point. I am not sure I like this shift in Sophia's characterization though.  MK played Sophia as someone who always defied her mom's rules-she just didn't get caught.  She was openly trying to steal Tate from Holly with no shame, showing up at the Horton cabin in bikinis to seduce him, and blackmailing Holly to work all her shifts at the Bistro.  Once the recast started the show has acted like Sophia's lived in her room, sheltered her entire life lol.
    • I thought Dante was going to put hands on Gio
    • If Jordan never appeared again, I would absolutely not notice or miss her.  So, while Brook Kerr has her flaws, she at least appears to have a pulse and a personality as Portia.
    • That's because India, or the India MKA ended up playing, was created due to the fact that both she and Kristi Farrell were liked by TPTB, but the part they both read for didn't exactly fit either one of them so the show created two brand new characters for both actresses to play (India and Roxie) and opted not to cast the character they were intending to cast (A cousin of Beth's). I think that's why the show seemed to struggle at first with how to write both India and Roxie in their first months on the show because the characters weren't ever intended to exist.  And yes.. Grant A had a great body... but I didn't find him hot when he was playing Phillip.. only when he was playing Alec on AMC which baffles me since it was the same actor in both parts LOL  
    • I shared this on Twitter and good grief the comments. Steffy fans can be such vile real-life human beings over a fictional character lol.  
    • I remember Michael Logan interviewed L.A. actors/production staff about the movie. Susan Seaforth Hayes said she was dying to know Susan Lucci's reaction.
    • Thanks @Franko  @slick jones You may be interested in the Elisabeth Shue mention. I have to laugh that they apparently didn't even know Teri Hatcher was on Capitol. I have scans somewhere of SPW talking with soap actors about Soapdish. Some, like Mary Stuart, were not happy. I never had a lot of interest in the movie myself. 
    • I never had much of a problem with Brandon Claybon's performance as Martin. He has gotten much better though. While I enjoy his confrontational scenes, I must say his lighter, and carefree scenes from Thursday's episode are the ones that stood out most in the last 3 days (to me).   I agree with all of this!
    • I know that Secret Storm had moved back to the 4/3 PM timeslot in the final months on air, so it's possible that they were trying to employ new techniques/elements to lure the teen demographic.   If that episode was around November/December 1973, I do wonder if the owners (AHS) were still trying to shop the show to other networks still.. or if they had accepted that the show was going to officially go off the air in Feb 1974 at the time of this episode airing.
