I get what you mean, sum1. There are times when I struggle with optimism, but I have no alternative.

Yeah, Biden is a gaffe machine, but again, we'll have to wait and see what happens. I still disagree with you about the party of Reagan. I think it's still there in Romney and others, and I also think that most Republicans don't like Trump and have been reluctant to criticize him openly for fear of his voters, but after Romney's huge approval rating in his home state I think that will change. As for the Democrats, the old guard is dying out and won't be in power much longer. I don't think that traditional Democratic Party can survive the 21st century. As for Pelosi... well, we'll see. Ditto Biden's VP. Remember, there's also the strong probability that Biden is already a guaranteed one term president.

I don't trust voting by mail. Perhaps I can get my mother to drive me.

I hope you got enough sleep.

Hi, dragonfire! Yep, I'm good, thanks!

I honestly have no idea of the chronology of Dick Grayson's love life.

Well, I was sure that Dick led the Titans when he was Nightwing, correct? I think there are way too many Robins, to be honest. I never liked the idea of bringing back Bruce and Talia's son from Son of the Demon. I preferred the ending where he was given to adoptive parents and that was it. Glad that Tim is still Red Robin, although that's also the name of a restaurant.

Well, I think it's just because Clark and Bruce are BFF and that's pretty much it.

Thanks for the link, but that's wrong. Batman is not “woke." Bruce is a detective, and is rooted in facts, logic, science, and rational thought. Being woke rejects all that and embraces paranoid, hypersensitive, reactionary thinking.

Hey Alex. Good, and no problem.

Ok.

Yep. Ok, but I don't. I actually like what they're doing with the Robins. Ok, but again I gotta disagree with you. Maybe Tim can be the restaurant's mascot.

Ok, but their Sons Jon and Damian are BFF as well.

No problem, and speaking of Batman.

I sure do.

The moderate Democrats aren't all old. And many of the moderate Republicans are. The Republican party shows little evidence that more than a minority of them dislike The Donald.

She could drive you out with a stick, whacking you across your behind. "Get out there, Alex, you little brat!"

I think I did.

wickedrum

if cheating is an issue, they'll do it whether you vote by mail or in person.

PhoenixRising

I don't think cheating is the issue, Rita. I just think that people don't trust the mail with their votes.

Oh, and did you want to join us on the 80s/90s trivia game thread on the Heroes board, Rita?

Hi, sum1! Yeah, I know you do.

Well, again... we'll see. I would hope to think that there are still sane Democrats that aren't compromised by "wokeness" and I'm sure that more Republicans don't like Trump and could return the party to Reaganism. We'll see what happens. I'm hoping Romeny leads the way.

She does that when she wants me to do dishes.

I'm glad you got sleep.


Hi, dragonfire!

Well of course you like what they're doing with the Robins. I was fine with Tim Drake in the 1990s, but they didn't need to bring in Damien. A mascot? Yeah, we're gonna disagree on a lot, but that's okay.

Superman's son is named Jon? Who did he have him with?

Thanks for the link, dragonfire. OMG, Denny O'Neil? Man, that's another comic legend gone.

wickedrum

can I still join? You seemed to have started already.

dragonfire

Hey Alex.

Well, I like what they did with Dick and Damian with Dick as the mentor to his mentor's youngest son. It felt like things came full circle. Yeah, a mascot. Yep, but at least we can agree on Disney's Star Wars.

Yes, Jon/Jonathan Kent. His wife Lois Lane. Also, I think Jon made his first live-action appearance in DC/CW's Crisis as a baby.

No problem. Yep.

I hope everyone is ok.

Of course you can join, Rita! We haven't actually started yet. That was just practice. We don't officially start until Monday.

Yeah, yeah...


Hi, dragonfire!

Oh, so Dick was the mentor to Damien? Wasn't he also one to Tim? I can't remember. It was the 1990s. Man, I miss that decade. I'm glad we agree on Star Wars. I really cannot stand Kathleen Kennedy.

Wait... when did Clark and Lois have a son? Was this in the Rebirth continuity? and why is his name "Jon" with no H? And he was in the CW Crisis? (CW is literally a crisis).

Thanks for the link, dragonfire. I hope DC continues its tradition of great animated features.

dragonfire

Hey Alex.

Yes, I think it happened when they thought Bruce died, and Dick became Batman until Bruce returned. I don't know wasn't Bruce the mentor to Tim? Same.

It seems he first appeared in 2015. He's in the Rebirth continuity, and his first name is Jonathan hence the Jon part. Yes, as a baby, but after CW Crisis Clark/Lois went from having a baby to now having two kids.

No problem. Hopefully.

Speaking of hope I hope everyone is ok.

She literally laughed at the idea of restoring the original films.

PhoenixRising

What the hell is her problem? Oh, what an idiot Lucas was.


Hi, dragonfire!

Oh, I remember that. Yeah, Dick briefly became Batman when people thought that Bruce had died, but instead he ended up back in time in the age of dinosaurs. Yeah, Bruce was a mentor to Tim. I just wish they hadn't done the Damien thing, that's all. And of course they had to go and have Clark and Lois have a kid. Oh, named after Jonathan Kent. That's good. OMG, CW Clark and Lois have two kids? WTF?

Everyone's okay, thanks dragonfire. I hope you are too.

dragonfire

Hey Alex.

Yep. Ok. What's wrong with Clois having a kid? Yep. Yes, I told you about the 2 kids before through PM. Remember I said they kinda remind me of Archie&Jughead or something like that.

Actually I'll PM you the character descriptions of the 2 kids.

Good. Thanks I am.

I don't mind them having kids, but teenagers? That's ridiculous
