Most of them want Democrats to lose. They hate them. They hate us. They hate America. They love Trump because he has done more to end the "American empire" than anyone outside of Putin, and because he gives them permission to be bigots - he makes it cool and fun. 

They continue to insist that Harris lost because she didn't do all they wanted, because they can't admit how little power they have in this country outside of an increasingly tiny social media following, and half of those are Nazis.

That's another thing about so-called progressives: they keep moving the damn goalposts, so that nothing the Democrats do is ever enough.  Even if Kamala Harris had publicly denounced Joe Biden's stance on the Gaza crisis and called for an arms embargo against Israel, I guarantee many on the far-left still would've yabbut'ed her.

Trump wants the USA to accept white landholders as "refugees" from South Africa - because he says they are being discriminated against for being white.

Elon is supposed to be airing 5 ads during the Super Bowl showing what wasteful spending he has found since being head of the DOGE.

Trump is revoking security clearances of his political enemies and his approval ratings are at all time high. 

The Republicans in their wildest dreams couldn't have thought that it would be this easy to accomplish what they want to do. More than half of the country is firmly in alignment with what they want to do and the other half is split in factions and are blaming the other for their predicament.

This country is either apathetic to fascism or merrily approve of it. There was an article out today about Venezuelans who are being deported and genuinely believed Trump would never let them be in this situation. They still support him. 

And of course "the left" is blaming Democrats for not passing DACA. One of these jackasses on Twitter finally admitted they don't even live in the US and never have. 

The only purpose jaundiced JD Vance has is to be dumped onto social media and preview the next push of extremism. This time it is telling us courts don't matter.

This is what America wants, and any of us who don't are just left in the dirt.

Anyone who can afford to leave should do so as soon as they can.

    • I don't expect Lois to be the same person she was 25 years ago, but she's definitely lost a lot of what made Lois unique.  It's clear the show doesn't know how to write for her, and the sole purpose of Lois is to hide this Gio secret.  It's a shame she doesn't interact with more of the canvas.  It's a waste of Rena's talents. I like Brook Kerr most of the time.  She can be hit or miss.  I totally get what you are saying about her line readings too.  I honestly think the character really suffers being stuck in the Curtis pairing.  She's much better than Tanisha Harper's Jordan lol.
    • Friday and yesterday's episode is what daytime television should be. The other shows airing could take a page from yesterday's show.  I loved the rage, hurt and anger Nicole unleashed on Ted.  Daphnee should be up for an Emmy nom for these scenes.  It broke my heart to see how Dana had locked Eva out.  I do feel sorry for Eva.    I am still bumfuzzled as to why Leslie/Dana went to the DuPree's and asked them to accept Kat UNLESS Eva is really Kat's twin (and really Nicole and Ted's daughter that maybe they though they lost or an embryo Dana/Leslie stole??) I loved how Anita and Vernon both shot her down.    Ohhh and let me just say Friday and yesterday was the MOST fire I have seen Martin have since the show started.  Maybe Brandon Clayborn is coming into his own with the role finally.    
    • You've been seeing him all along. You just didn't know it was him, I guess.

    • Where to for Dana? She's pissed off the Duprees (most of the cast), alienated her daughter and will she be welcomed by the Have Nots at the diner? Maybe she can befriend Ashley and Derek and liven up their story.
    • Melissa Ordway announced she was moved to recurring back in November but is still credited with the contract cast members.
    • I think of Evan as a smarmy bast*rd. Maybe you'll like that description. You certainly have him pegged correctly since he is just a soldier following "Admiral" Iris's marching orders.  
    • So far the only interest I've seen from Evan to Amanda has been listening to Iris's orders to go and seduce her.  So far he hasn't been successful... but who knows. Amanda is unbearable at times. Entitled, spoiled... idiotic. Iris... so blatantly manipulating her and Amanda takes the bait. But I guess... when she gets in trouble... she'll have a chance to learn. That's what makes these shows so interesting.    Oh, no, don't worry. You haven't ruined a thing. Evan has not been on my radar that much... he was not one of the characters I was caring particularly... so nothing much has been changed for me. I don't think he has the stuff to ruin Rachel's life. He's just a pretty guy that can follow orders. Iris on the other hand... is dangerous.

        P.S Maybe Evan will surprise me. Who knows. 
    • The show has gone back to 10/10 entertainment! I'm glad that I was right in feeling that what were experiencing were growing pains. I'm sure they are not over yet, but I'll know that we always comeback to quality drama. I think it's going to be a hell of ride (in a good way) from this moment on. BTG has that magic that not a lot of shows have. I'll update more... when I'm done catching up.
    • So very glad to hear this. Yesterday I suddenly thought; OMG, what about spoilers, have I just  ruined things for Maxim in getting carried away with interest in Evan, who was so well-written & well-acted. BTW, your fan review of this episode was a sight for eyes that had not seen one of these for a little bit too long, LOL!!!  Mitch is also fascinating to me but in his case it's because he was all in with Janice & her nefarious plan & then he did this turnabout we've mentioned & he basically got off scot-free.
