If it sends the message that they had no real choice then it will be seen as true and that the government is just saving face. So it's effective propaganda.

Given how little interest Bravo has in gay men who aren't purses, it's for the best.

Bibi was already doing this with Obama. The media hyped it up as Israel, and also Asia, humiliating Obama, especially since he didn't directly respond (as he was smart enough to not do so). Now we have a so-called "tough guy" and look where it's gotten us. On the road to nowhere.

That sounds like propaganda to me. I don't believe that Bibi has been bullied by Trump. They know this is a horrible optic for Israel, one that is going to do real damage long-term, and they are trying to pass the buck.

I imagine the people around Trump are still lying to him until it gets to the lowest level. They are probably just planning to harvest the UK anyway (I read they want the UK to drastically lower their food safety standards).

We're at the point where nobody cares. "Jawn Wick" trended on Twitter for hours and hours. People thought the Philly shootings were hilarious.

If the UK economy tanks then I wonder how far Trump will run from that "trade deal" and will instead just start tweeting about how weak they are and what losers they are. I wonder who made Trump push the latest tariffs up a few months. Someone said he is probably just waiting for the companies to be able to bail out. That makes sense. Everyone has known he would tank the economy. And most of us have no way to cope, other than crossing our fingers. Times like this I assume it's done deliberately, just as in 2008, where W's economy tanked and Obama got all the blame.

That's great for him. He should fit in well. Is it just a guest spot?

He's just another example of a two-faced media personality. People have used the word "fredo" on his network. Yet he's upset when the term is thrown at him. Oh it's just as bad as "the n word," how dare you, blah blah blah. He gets a free pass because a lot of people want to [!@#$%^&*] him. He's just as worthless as anybody else at CNN.

Her talking about how it wasn't meant to be taken lightly is glaring in contrast to the writer saying he wanted to have fun and be outrageous. I do wonder why her past story wasn't mentioned. The only time I saw it mentioned was a decade later when Marcy and Jennifer Bassey were talking about their years working together. I didn't get the impression either of them were fond of the plot.

Considering how crassly JFP treated rape she had some guts to criticize others for doing the same.

Jake could have had a much bigger career than he does. I wish he'd left EE years ago, when he still cared.

It makes no damn sense. If you want to believe in that type of insanity, it may have made sense in the '90s, but stopped once we got to 2008, where Obama not only did a great deal of damage to her political career (really, I'd say he effectively ended her political career) but also led to something of a black eye to Bill's legacy. You can say that the way Bill and Hillary spoke about him was terrible, because it was, but if there was ever a "body count," surely it would have sprung up somewhere around then.

Eddie Drueding and munecojim have a few episodes up.

I've thought that beefcake photo of Richard Gutrhie was just beautiful from the first time I saw it. It's so subversive, from before that was really a thing (at least in this type of mainstream publication). Most of those type of photos of half-naked guys would put an emphasis on machismo, whereas his pose and attire is much more open to telling people, intentionally or not, that there is a world for attractive men beyond glowering in your blue jeans. I have a feeling that was a defining memory for more than a few boys going through their mother or aunt's soap magazines...

So that means they are just bullshitting to avoid fan hate.

Joan van Ark loathed the story.

A part of me thinks it's incredibly hypocritical, given that the last two seasons of China Beach were nothing but turgid soap opera, but then I also remember that her main soap gig was on ATWT in a period where it was a dead zone of acting and writing.

For all the media hype, I don't think Trump was likely to win Minnesota anyway, but if Perdue starts getting this type of pushback in other states it could mean something. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-08-07/farm-discontent-bubbles-over-as-perdue-confronted-in-minnesota

What the hell is even going on with that paper. They have been a shambles for decades.

I saw some of the usual sneering from certain members of the left about "Gee do you want to do the jobs they're doing????" When someone would call them out and ask them why they were so proud of undocumented citizens being all but forced into cheap labor, they backflipped so hard I just ended up hoping they didn't break their wrists on the landing.

Pathetic.

The Masked Singer was one of the most popular new shows in years. If Fox thought a show that was in its prime 25 years ago was going to have similar numbers they are fools.
