More coverups and failed backtracking about her fraud.

The New York Times continues to show us how in the tank they are for Trump, between publishing an op-ed by anti-Obama conspiracy theorist Daniel Pipes, and this:

So much for all that posturing about how we shouldn't care about Tara Reade working with Megyn Kelly because it's all about stopping sexual harassment.

Looks like a salon arrest and reopening in Dallas was just a big disgusting PR stunt - which everyone played along with and fell for, as per usual. https://www.texasmonthly.com/news/dallas-salon-arrest-gofundme/

Thank you for thinking of me @DaytimeFan . I love that third shot - so glam and so poised. You can see from her face that the event meant something to her, as it would for anyone who experienced that period of time, I imagine.

I was already very wary about Reade, for many reasons, but her pushing stories about the Warren and Harris campaigns (two of the three candidates Bernie people hate the most - the only one left out is Pete Buttigieg) makes me even more wary. And now we have this: A lot of the damage is already done - international headlines of her telling new far left darling Megyn Kelly that Biden needs to drop out - but I hope most people will stop and question what is going on.

If you're seeing that "Mike Pence delivers empty boxes of PPE" video going around, apparently it's deceptively edited. I have no pity for him, just don't want you to get hate for it if you share it.

You have a good point. I'm still not sure how Conboy did wrong by Marj after he let her shine at Capitol. At least he kept her on and she was styled well (I think), so compared to some GL producers I guess that was not bad for her.

I still wonder what might have been in 2002 - I was disappointed by most of what was on display. The idiot plotting in the Harley/Philip custody battle was shocking - I still can't get over those loltastic scenes where Harley broke into the Spaulding mansion to kidnap their son; the Richard mercy-killing/Rick heart story lacked so much emotion and felt rushed and cliched; the Michelle/Bill pairing was dull and I disliked NSA's Michelle enough to where I was rooting for a mobster to get sole custody of a Bauer child. Once we got into later fall things began to impress me more, with Danny/Cassie, Alexandra's return, the Ed/Holly pairing amidst Michelle not wanting her around the baby, etc. but sadly Conboy and Weston (ick) were on the way.

That's great. I loved that pairing. I still can't wrap my head around Kevin being involved with Laura - are they ever even shown?

She did go back in 1998 but I think she was another who felt she had no control over her work.

Nice ABBA cover by Isobel Steele (Liv).

The most I have seen beyond the story outlines and photos is a few of the soap magazines back then and their reviews of what is onscreen (generally not all that positive...). I just wish I could see some of the Tracy Delmar/Kit Vested saga. I also have to say that the haircut Lynne Adams has in the Stanley period is so unflattering.

I thought Paul Leyden was very handsome and charismatic as well. Until dumbass Brad I think Katie was constantly paired with love interests who were better than she was.

Kudos to Alec for always being positive about his soap past, even though The Doctors at that point was apparently a morgue behind the scenes. There are at least two errors in that article - People has really become a glut.

It looks like Tara Reade will be interviewed by the truly disgusting Megyn Kelly for Youtube, after backing out of interviews with Don Lemon and Chris Wallace. This sham continues, and - what a shock - it's being enabled by New York Times reporters. Between this nonsense and Barr dropping all charges against Michael Flynn (who already pled guilty) and the post office stuff, I just don't want to think about where we're heading.

I wonder how much they cared by that point. Nick was the main draw of the Newman kids. Victoria had been steadily downgraded as a character.

I agree, although this seems to be beyond privatization and more into Trump's rage at Jeff Bezos. And I guess stopping vote-by-mail.

They just want to claim everything is fine, push everyone back to work with no money to help them get through (while still bailing out corporations that are laying off workers while taking a slush fund), and declare victory. It won't be long before they order states to stop counting cases and deaths, I'm sure. Sadly, a lot of people will fall for this. This is their America, and I suppose ours as well by default.

I've watched a fair amount of Seth Meyers this past year, especially in quarantine as the format really suits him. Anyway, this is a very depressing article about Trump's latest plans to gut the post office. There's been talk about how this will hurt rural areas, but what isn't mentioned as much is many Republican voters also sell online, and he's going to try to jack up shipping prices on selling sites up to four times the current amount. These people just keep killing themselves in order to hurt the rest of us. That's one of the reasons I feel so hopeless. Trump continues to have decent approval ratings and to be even or near even in polling no matter how much he makes clear his only goal is to ruin America for his own pettiness and pocket-lining.
