You want us to wake you up during Ivanka's presidency?  That's what we are headed for if we can't get rid of Trump this next time.

 

More seriously, I think one of the reasons some of us are more pessimistic than the numbers dictate is that we can't be sure it's going to be a fair election.  Happily Trump has really f*cked up over the last week. In any case it's going to be a long summer.

Just saw that video of the Buffalo PD knocking an elderly man to the ground and I wished I hadn't.  It is a terrible thing to see, especially close to bedtime. Then the BPD lied and said he tripped, did they not see the video??

I've decided not to post it because it's too disturbing.

Well, I already said that locusts had appeared already, but carry on backing me up up there.

My cousin mentioned the autopsy report to me. And all I could say is that still did not give that man the right to do what he did. But they will look for any loophole to get those men off.

IKR?  Reading about that incident, and then watching it online, I was so pissed off at how the Buffalo Police Department explained it away: "He tripped, and he fell."  Right.  And Phyllis didn't really intend to run down Paul and Christine with her car; they just didn't get out of her way fast enough!

^ That's crazy. Poor guy looks like a rag doll.  Don Lemon just looks and sounds like he has had enough.

 

There is such a leadership vacuum in this country right now. The lies and corruption are out there for all to see.  It just astounds me how shameless some of these people are. At least a dozen officers walked right by without offering aid!

That video is so awful - a good reminder of what's actually going on, no matter how much social media and the powers that be try to distract with Bari Weiss or Candace Owens. 

 

I was watching this clip with Fannie Lou Hamer. Just as true today as in 1968.

    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
    • The other issue with Missy: in June 2020, she "liked" some social media posts by Candace Owens -- things Candace said that were against Black Lives Matter.  That is described here https://tvline.com/news/melissa-reeves-racism-days-of-our-lives-instagram-controversy-2894568/ I don't know if that was ever resolved.
    • She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.
