DRW50

A rundown of his speech. It's - well I guess it's about the norm for him, which is sad. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/10/02/as-news-of-trumps-taxes-broke-he-goes-off-script-at-a-rally-in-pennsylvania/ Meanwhile, first reported in the paper of Trump's son-in-law (which might tell us how they feel...), Fooliani spews more racial positivity at a business dinner, thus further burning away his "mainstream" credibility. TPM had a good analysis of this: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/in-the-bubble--2

Thanks for typing that up. It's a shame it didn't work out. They also seemed to not have the ego of many DAYS headwriters of more recent years...

Is this Charles Keating near the end, in the quilts GWTW ad?

dc might know more about the details than I do. I have some SOD synopses somewhere...

I understand what you're saying. And I know a lot of people are working hard to elect Hillary. If I ever seem dismissive of that it's poor wording on my part.

No you have no credit in democratic voters. I may be showing my bias, but people act like this group of people supporting Trump is some new group of voters who have taken over. WRONG. These are the same dimwits who have been conned into voting against their own best interests for the last 35 years. Clinton got elected in all fairness because some of those people woke up for a time and voted for Perot, someone who actually had business knowledge and was well intentioned and flawed in his own ways but spoke to what concerned many at the time. Clinton got re-elected because times were good despite the ugliness in his background. I think you're naïve to believe that this base of voters has changed somehow and that there are more haters and uninformed people. There aren't. And these people believe what's on Fox and Breitbart because they want to. And no I don't believe in general there are enough of those people. Maybe I'm wrong but I saw this same argument from many when Obama ran. And if you don't want to discount voters, please don't start on the lack of enthusiasm by AA voters. You would be wrong about that. I posted one article about one state which had various people, some of whom are AA, quoted in it. I thought we'd settled that but clearly not, so clearly absolutely nothing I can say is going to matter. I've never said that there are new voters supporting Trump. None of this is new. W won in part (beyond SCOTUS rigging) because of voter apathy and liberal third parties. Reagan won because of workers who fell for a huckster's spin job. And I do worry it could happen again and drown out the people who are working. You can tell me I'm naive and tell me about how wrong I am - it's up to you. I'm not going to agree with you that I am insulting all coalitions of Democrats with this worry, nor am I going to agree that posting an article about AA and Hispanic voters (as the article mentioned her problems with Hispanic voters as well) in one state is insulting all coalitions of Democrats. If you think that's what I said, then that's your choice.

No you have no trust in democratic voters. The same coalition of Blacks, Latinx, and Women who helped get Bill Clinton and Obama elected, will again save the panicked white voters from themselves. And there are more of us. No, I have no trust in voters as a whole. To pick and choose random groups would just insult them and treat them as tokens to use or throw away. There are a lot of voters who are smart and who work hard, but there have been so many times that other voters, through apathy or stupidity, ruin it for all the rest. I hope this time won't be the same but it's hard to forget so many previous elections.

I have no trust in voters. I envy those who do.

Mostly because like a few have mentioned, in some cases it wasn't just about affairs, but claims of rape and abuse, and claims that she helped cover things up. I don't think the Lewinsky stuff would hurt her, but some of the others, I question.

That's quite stupid if true (and knowing Trump it probably is) - Conway and that Breitbart guy are probably the best team he's had. The main problem is Trump, who can never stop self-destructing and is enabled by that CNN stooge of his. The irony is that everyone thought Hillary would be the one whose campaign team would implode this election season.

Chris Bisson on some motoring show nearly 20 years ago. He doesn't look bad with that hair length (I doubt he would be able to grow it now of course...).

I'm pretty sure it will be James, although I wouldn't be surprised if someone not in it dies, a minor character (I like Ronnie but his story seems to be over). It's a waste in terms of suspense, but I did enjoy it. It was very stylish, especially the Laurel and Ashley portion.

I saw some little video introducing millennials to the Clinton scandals. As someone who lived through all that it's disturbing that this is now once again the new normal. And what is getting the most attention is just sordid trash from people who have nothing but contempt for women. They don't give a damn what Bill or Hillary did to any woman.

For anyone who wants to see the promo and can't, someone put it up on tumblr. I'll also link to the behind the scenes video. http://robronspoilers.tumblr.com/post/151164026252/emmerdale-who-will-take-their-last-dance-promo http://robronspoilers.tumblr.com/post/151164609817/emmerdale-who-will-take-their-last-dance-behind

Chris Chittell interview, actually available in the US, surprisingly. http://www.itv.com/news/calendar/2016-09-30/chris-chittell-marks-thirty-years-in-emmerdale/

That Photoshop is awful.

I know some thought Lisa's maiden name was Lakely, because of some idea that Lizzie was her cousin. I don't think there was ever any confirmation onscreen though.

Another media push about her "mocking" Bernie supporters in new leaked audio. She isn't actually mocking them at all - but we'll see how many ignore this to try to make her look awful and convince flighty Sandernistas to stay home or toke for Jill and Gary. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders-supporters-audio-leak-228997

I wonder how much his people got to the debate commission for this vague confirmation of Trump's conspiracy theories. http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/debate-commission-trump-microphone

Dallas had an awful cast and a showrunner who seemed actively ashamed of the original product. I don't think there's any real need to reboot Dynasty, especially as the show mostly was carried by the charisma of a few leads and by the style of the era. With that said, we seem to be stuck in the '80s (only with much worse entertainment...), so who knows. I go back and forth but I sometimes think a revival of Falcon Crest might work better than the others, even without Jane Wyman.

So I guess Trump also had his flunky Corey go on TV and claim she was involved in an attempted murder? Hell, maybe she should run on the GOP ticket...

What I take most from that is the gorgeous production values and the amazing direction in bits like the closeup on Victor's face when he bursts the door open. Ironic that Braeden praises the complexity of daytime when he sees Victor as such a cartoon.

Probably Amy... The idea was Kate Oates but I imagine a lot of the execution was Macleod, as the last 3-4 months of her return felt very different in tone to the start. And it was so often just so emotional and real, and there were the surprising touches I thought I might hate but instead unfolded so beautifully, like her relationship with Jai. I wish we'd had more with Holly and Adam, or even Holly and Aaron, but these last weeks with Moira and Holly were so precious. I'm not sure where the story is going next, if it will be a mystery or vengeance, etc. but hopefully the incredible tone and detail of these two episodes will be kept up.

I don't think she was murdered. I can understand why people think that, with the open window, but I don't think she was. I have a feeling it's going to be heart failure, and then there may be some anger or regret over drug accusations (I could see Moira lashing out at Cain over that). The scene where Moira said John would be waiting for Holly was just about too much for me. And then knowing that Moira and Holly had sat in the same bed the day before. And the scene yesterday where Holly clapped to wake Moira up, and today Moira did the same. And the bit where Moira realized she was dead but so slowly walked over toward the bed because she couldn't face it
