Yet the Republicans in the Senate just keep kissing his ass even more. Sadly I have no real expectation they will be punished for this. Right now polling suggests it will be close if Democrats manage to take the Senate. Hopefully they will.

Honestly, I have no idea why!!!! I'm happy for the hardworking people at the show, but...wow!

Unfortunately the people who are arrested will end up being those who don't have money or status to hide behind. A Goldman Sachs CEO no less was involved in a huge New York concert where tons of people were packed together. https://www.gq.com/story/chainsmokers-hamptons-concert

I remember not long ago one of her fans actually went to the house of a chart person. No wonder some publications are now leaving the names of their critics off the reviews.

@Vee that Vanity Fair piece was a sad read - saddest of all for how unsurprising it was. Kushner has been allowed constant access to power and failed every time, with higher and higher stakes. Yet he skates every time. My main takeaway is of just how dangerous Dr. Birx's enabling and whitewashing of Trump has been.

This is true of so many fandoms, not just hers, but it's one of the reasons why the "they're out to get my fave" stan culture is so toxic and so dangerous.

Graeme would probably still be there if the actor hadn't quit. Good for him. I was very fond of Ashley. I still hate that they killed him off. Corrie is alright to me at the moment, but I don't watch a ton. British soaps are pretty bad these days.

It works on all levels - distracts from things he wants to distract us from (terrible economic news; John Lewis' funeral), gets the media excited, gets his base excited and in full "own the libs" mode, and also lays the groundwork to allow him to contest the election results as well as get his cultists out in the streets with their guns. And it's already being used to further push people against mail-in voting. The most ludicrous part of it all is that mail-in voting would likely help Trump, but his paranoia won't let him see that. So now he is trying to simultaneously crush mail-in voting through killing the post office and hoping that Democrats will still vote by mail, having their votes canceled as a result. The sad thing is it could easily work. I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I don't believe my vote will count if I don't vote in person - not with the Post Office gutting, and even blue states like New York completely botching the job. But if I do go and vote in person I will likely make myself and those around me sick. Trump has killed 150K people, and counting, to get this result. And we're just getting started. Sadly his tricks, along with the media's desperate need to declare a winner within a few hours, are going to be a big help to him.

Here we go again - media crybabies whining about their shitty reporting being criticized, and their sycophants following suit.

Even Cain's ex-communications person chose to use her memorium post to smug it up about when Cain helped kill "Hillarycare." This is how she celebrated her boss - remembering how he helped to cause suffering and death. You also have people who just keep saying "he had stage 4 cancer" to claim the COVID was a hoax, but he had been in remission since 2011 and even his people put out a statement talking about the breathing problems he had with COVID and being taken to the hospital, etc. And they also had to delete anti-mask tweets on his account. I'm sorry for his family that he passed away, but more than anything I'm sorry that so many people have embraced a literal death cult.

1923 film, The Lost Degree, found. https://blockclubchicago.org/2020/07/29/lost-silent-film-found-in-the-chicago-film-archives/

That was the plan all along, and the story MKA and Terry Lester signed on for.

Considering some of the stories Brad Bell has told on their sister soap, it's impossible to even laugh at that kind of joke.

Everything about this story enrages me - these con artists, all the way to the top, just keep getting access to everything, while the sick and dying are brushed off by Trump and the GOP.

David Bailey.

@Wendy Good for her (not being sarcastic). I guess those grifters like Dave Rubin (she roasted him on his show but that never stops him) will finally give up the ghost.

The press is more likely to spend the day telling you about godawful Chris Dodd running his mouth about his dislike of Kamala Harris and bringing negative attention to Biden's campaign, but if you are not interested in a repeat of the Hillary campaign type of melodrama and backbiting, here is a real scandal - media darling Tom Cotton, perpetually hyped as a 2024 sure thing, endorsing slavery.

Even now with death totals back over 1,000 a day, so many still just say "but you praise Newsom and Cuomo, you hypocrite," because the endless gotcha game is always more important than health or saving lives. Over and over and over they care more about being "right" than about basic humanity. Pepcid money chase. https://apnews.com/13e13ba67fc1fe8f9c744e294f3e54d6 Another monster humiliated and humbled.

In this case, minorities who are used by Republicans as distractions and weapons. Trump himself said it best in 2016 - "look at my African-American over there." (that man has since left the party)

@Soapsuds thanks for the rundown. I appreciate it. She is right about the female friendship aspect. I think the only one among younger women in that era was Julie and Emily.

I think this is Nancy St. Alban? (this ad is annoying as hell)
