Kushner has always given me sociopathic vibes. Picture a waxy faced, lifeless, simp-ish version of "American Psycho" without a hint of charisma or personality.

During the livestream, it struck me that Irizarry seems like one of the few actors to emerge from the TOLN soaps, AMC 2.0 experience not embittered by how things turned out. In fact, he seemed open to the possibility of another reboot. He seemed sanguine about the way the PP ended but was candid about being open to another try. He seems to be getting steady work, so I don't think that this was desperation.

Norah O'Donnell doesn't surprise me in the least. I don't watch the CBS Evening News but saw her when she was on CBS This Morning and she practically telegraphed it. Needless to say, I looked forward to seeing a Nora-free CBS This Morning.

Of course, 'Juicy Janet' will be there. No offense to Pins on but that's a hard pass for me.

Black men voting has become a recent topic of conversation but seems to entirely ignore the recent group of former felons who have fought to register to vote after having fought to have their right to vote restored. I would be interested to know how their votes figure into things.

On his own, I thought the character could have moments of charm but it never lasted long. I know it's a soap and all but TPTB spent too much time 'studding' him out to various women-- Lily, Katie, Carly, Vienna...and never took the time to really evolve or further develop the character. I remember the look of surprise and amusement on the faces of Melanie and Andy during the reunion livestream when Colleen and Alan informed them that Paul and Emily ended up together.

Going by my bargain-basement knowledge of French, is that tweet saying that Pouille has lost his sense of smell?? Otherwise, it looks like he has no other symptoms.

Before TIIC completely wrecked the show and the character by essentially studding him out, I thought Simon was one of the last truly charismatic characters to be introduced on the show, but like I said, the show found a way to ruin it.

Rep. Underwood has been so impressive in just her first term! Yeah, I got the distinct impression that the farmers knew what was at the root of their problems but didn't dare speak its name aloud, for some reason. That's why I was somewhat taken aback at hearing a farmer say the actual words.

Not to mention, that COVID-19 has really begun to hit those areas very hard (S. Dakota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Kansas and even some parts of Nebraska). I wonder whether there will be a higher regard for science going forward. Some farms have begun to employ science and technology to help their farms run but those seem to be comprised of younger, mostly college-educated farmers.

I've been saying for months that Alan should pass the "mic" to a moderator who is more knowledgeable about certain shows. It doesn't have to be permanent but in some senses, it would improve the quality of the discussions. In those instances, Alan could be the producer.

Compared to the new astronomical COVID-19 infection rate numbers? I think more people/voters will be focused on this. The infection rates are at a new high, which is alarming and all but completely impossible to ignore. Also, there is more awareness of the destructive effects of climate change than even a few years ago. Just yesterday, I saw an interview with a farmer who openly discussed the effects of climate change on his farm. A couple years ago, most farmers would never publicly utter the words "climate change" but they are now because their farms are being ravaged and Trump's subsidies have mostly gone to farmers connected with agribusiness, i.e. wealthy farmers. Odds are that the focus is on the new COVID-19 numbers and the current surge. We all know that the media can only really focus on one thing, especially these days. Do you remember where that voter lives? I suspect that the number of people who feel the same way are legion.

Sadly, there have always been threats against the lives of prominent Black people, particularly those doing the important work of social justice in this country. Thankfully, at least the FBI is determined to do its job despite the obvious lack of support from the White House.

I wasn't sure what it was but I knew she was drinking something, lol.

Oh yeah I saw that as I was watching the last 25 minutes or so, lol. I think that maybe Liz might be used to being in a three person discussion. More than that, perhaps her attention drifts a little. @victoria foxton

I enjoyed some of the stories about certain storyline aspects but it was a little distracting when the phone rang, then Liz answered it and then I could see her talking.

Did Liz look bored to anyone else? Admittedly, I probably only saw the last 25-30 minutes of the livestream but she looked like she was somewhat disengaged.

When MS assumed that only Blacks would die, they did next to nothing about it. Well, obviously things change.

In response to Trump's ridiculous comment that no one has done more for Black Americans than him (with the exception of Lincoln, according to him), then challenging anyone to name someone, an entire chain of subtweets has emerged on Twitter and some of the responses are pretty funny. In response to people who have done more for African Americans, this guy showed up on the list.

The Empowerment Zones have been a boon for the wealthy investors and underwhelming for those that they are claiming to help. Trump was a bit more leashed but I don't know how anyone who watched that debate comes away thinking he did well. Joe Biden was coherent and made a clear case for who he is, what he stands for, and what he intends to do. Trump was unable to pierce that. Trump couldn't even answer the questions he was asked.

I didn't watch the first debate bit Judy Woodruff from PBS' The NewsHour said it was a debate containing far more substance than the first debate. I am seeing similar comments in several places. Welker kept the debate moving but didn't let the candidates wriggle out of answering the questions. Trump still lied a lot but his lies were that much more glaring and ridiculous. He also made the time to insult entire groups of people with incredibly racist statements.

Both Judi and Vincent seemed genuinely grateful for the reception from the fans over the years. It was entertaining and heartfelt. I liked how at times, both actors gently but firmly steered the conversation, so they wouldn't be rushed, as Alan can sometimes switch to other topics rather quickly. Did my ears deceive me, or did Alan sort of imply that there was something focusing on Beverly McKinsey down the road? Perhaps her son will be a future guest?

I think this might be San Elliott doing V.O. but when he says to admit that "we made a mistake..." that deep bass of his voice ran right through me. Posting this for Elliot's voice, really.

Okay, now that the service is flopped, I can now go on ahead and admit that, sometime ago I was queried about Quibi before the service launched. After an evaluation of the service, I was candid in stating that it was highly unlikely that I would ever subscribe to the service. It was never a good idea to try to have a paid subscription service largely composed of short videos, especially with YouTube already in existence. Just a bad idea from the get-go.

His speech was detailed, incisive and vigorous and passionate.
