From Jennifer Rubin of Washington Post Opinion: Voting for Trump means putting Vance in charge Quoting excerpts from her column: In many ways, the prospective vice president is more dangerous than Trump. Mainstream news outlets now feature stories about felon and former president Donald Trump’s “strikingly erratic, coarse and often confusing” rambling speeches, “cognitive decline,” and bizarre behavior. This evidence of mental breakdown, coupled with his event cancellations due to reports of “exhaustion” (reports his campaign has denied), give voters every reason to think that Trump could not complete a second term or would be “out of it.” Either way, his vice-presidential pick, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), the most disliked man ever to run for vice president, would be running the show. And considering the opposition from most of the “adults” from the first term, he might be relying on likely Trump Cabinet officials and advisers such as Kash Patel, Stephen K. Bannon, Richard Grenell, Elon Musk and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Vance is far more ideological than Trump, who blows with the wind on everything from a national abortion ban to Social Security. And Vance is every bit as enmeshed in the fever world of conspiracies — from the antisemitic obsession with George Soros as the mastermind behind Democratic causes to the “great replacement theory” to election denial — with ties to other conspiratorialists. He is a better spoken, more erudite conspiracy monger. Moreover, few doubt that Vance, who has extensive ties to Project 2025, would likely be raring to implement the wholesale remaking of the federal government. If Trump might be distracted or convinced the plan would make him unpopular, an ideologue such as like Vance might well be more committed to implementing its crackpot ideas. --- Jennifer Rubin goes on to talk about Vance's foreign policy, his opposition to Ukraine, and his support for Orbán of Hungary, and she says this: while Trump might be bamboozled by flattering dictators who know how to play him, Vance shows an affinity for their aims and positions Full column here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/10/28/trump-vance-election/ Non-paywall version: https://archive.is/Xoguf Twitter link to this column: https://x.com/PostOpinions/status/1850967786710761901

I was wondering how TWENTY Washington Post columnists were able to have an article in their paper about why they were upset about the nonendorsement. I finally clicked to read... They wrote it as a "Letter to the Editor" and it's in the opinions section of the Post as a Letter to the Editor from all 20 of them. And the PostOpinions twitter account tweeted out the link: https://twitter.com/PostOpinions/status/1849951210381480379 This is their joint letter published Oct 25 https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/10/25/post-columnist-no-endorsement-2024-trump-harris/ No-paywall copy of same: https://archive.is/Jzqzv Yes it's TWENTY columnists. The first tweet I quoted (via @Vee ) from WaPo columnist John Hudson, said it was *eight* but it's actually twenty. They must have added more names to their letter after he tweeted that.

For anyone who can't see the whole tweet: I think a full page graphical editorial in the NYT against Tr*mp.. is obviously needed on all media, but especially NYT since he did that full-page ad in that paper against the Exonerated Five.

EXACTLY! Michelle Obama outright says, share this video with any/all men who need to hear it.

Michele Val Jean's tribute to Jeri Taylor michelevaljean This woman is the reason I exist as a writer. Her name is Jeri Taylor.I was her assistant on Magnum, Heat of the Night, Jake & The Fatman, where she gave me my first script and started my career.I owe her everything and she’s gone.Rest now, Jeri. I love you forever (from the comments on MVJ's ig post) .... wendyriche ❤️I know how much you love her. She gave you the “ you can do it”, and you knew you could because she gave it to you. I’ll always remember her because she gave you the dignity, worthy, honored, respected and unbending principles❤️🙏🏻 Bless her ❤️

Really just watch the whole Michelle Obama speech, and then pass it on, worth your time! Worth everyone's time! You might work on tasks while you're listening but then wow become mesmerized. One of the best speeches I've heard in my life about what it's like to be a woman and (as a woman myself) she touches on things that nobody talks about but should be talked about.

thekatemulgrew Jeri Taylor was responsible, in large part, for changing my life. She was elegant, erudite, and fiercely opinionated. She wanted Kathryn Janeway to be a significant part of her legacy and I think there is no doubt that in that endeavor she succeeded. I owe her a debt of gratitude. May she rest in peace.

Yeah some shows do release fake names in casting that give clues to the actual character name... here are two examples: In 2014, the casting announcement for Y&R was for the character "Aaron Newton" but they didn't veil it well, because speculation was that it was obviously Adam Newman -- and indeed Justin Hartley was cast as Adam. In 2023, it was announced that AnnaLynne McCord was cast as "Marin" for DAYS and there was speculation that it was a code name for Abigail Deveraux -- because Ashley Benson once played Abigail on DAYS and then Benson went on to play "Hannah Marin" in the Pretty Little Liars shows. Turns out that McCord's character is "FakeAbigail" who was recently revealed to be Cat Greene. But yeah, when casting for a brand new soap, I don't think it would be spoilerish to give out the character names. Maybe it's just something casting directors are used to doing.

More details on the fraudulent registrations in Lancaster County PA https://www.npr.org/2024/10/25/nx-s1-5165382/lancaster-county-voter-registration-fraud In a news conference Friday with board members, Lancaster County District Attorney Heather Adams said numerous applications appeared to have the same handwriting and other details, like addresses, appeared incorrect on some applications. https://lancasteronline.com/news/politics/lancaster-county-da-commissioners-link-fraudulent-voter-registrations-to-paid-canvassing-update/article_5132ce60-92dd-11ef-9ec2-d32918af4f5b.html A large number of suspicious voter registration applications were dropped off at the county elections office near Monday's deadline, county officials said. An investigation by the district attorney's office found incorrect addresses, false identification information, false names and names that did not match Social Security information. The officials said one or two organizations that conducted registration drives in the county in recent months were responsible for the applications. They did not name the organizations. The district attorney did not provide information on who was funding the canvassers but asked anyone who had been approached about suspicious registrations to contact her office. "It appears to be an organized effort," Adams said, noting that the investigation is ongoing. Adams said her investigators found problems with 60% of the registrations they have so far reviewed. She did not say how many of the 2,500 registrations had been investigated. She said applications came from people living in the city, as well as Columbia, Elizabethtown, Akron, Ephrata, Stevens and Strasburg. She also said the same organization or organizations responsible for submitting the registrations were believed to be active in two other counties. She did not name those counties but said her investigators had reached out to them. Some of the registration applications submitted by the groups were found to be genuine, Adams said, and those voters will be registered.

Oh you're totally right. My mind associated with the 2017 pic but yeah it's different.

I intended to reference this 2017 pic of BM and KeMo: she hashtagged Deuces on that pic

That's the deuces sign that KeMo and Billy Miller used in their social media post.

"Approximately 20 electoral ballots were damaged, along with additional miscellaneous mail," Phoenix Fire Department officials revealed, according to ABC 15. "We are waiting for details from law enforcement," Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer explained. "We encourage all voters who used that mail box in the last 36 hours to check the status of their ballots at https://BeBallotReady.Vote." "Successful delivery is usually reflected on that website within 72 hours," he added. "Voters should be aware that tomorrow, October 25 is the last day to request a replacement ballot. If a voter believes they were impacted by this incident they can learn more about how to make that request at https://Request.Maricopa.Vote."

As posted much earlier on this thread, Deidre released a statement on October 2nd via Access Hollywood. https://www.accessonline.com/articles/days-of-our-lives-icon-deidre-hall-speaks-out-on-drake-hogestyns-death-exclusive On Oct. 21st, Deidre posted that same statement on her IG. https://www.instagram.com/deidrehall_official/p/DBZlBGcyZtH/ deidrehall_official For nearly 4 decades, Marlena Evans and I have loved the same man. Marlena’s John is an iconic hero, and unfailingly rescuing her from all matter of villains. My acting partner was incredibly professional from the moment he entered the studio; flawless in his preparation and ready for any eventuality in any scene. He was gracious and kind to everyone, from the executive staff to the night crew. Drake loved what he did and adored and respected everyone with whom he did it. Having said that, we always knew that his two greatest loves were his family and the Yankees. Victoria and their children were truly the center of his life. Drake is dearly loved by everyone who ever knew him and he will be missed beyond measure. We will continue, as he always encouraged us, to swing for the fences. . Many of the current and former cast commented on Deidre's IG post. comments on Deidre's IG: Many have of the cast already released statements separately. Just posting here ones I hadn't seen yet: morganfairchild1 I’m so very sorry, Deidre💔💔💔 mollyburnett ❤️❤️‍🩹 kevinspirtas 💔❤️❤️

I don't want to see BTG preempted by the usual live soccer match premptions in the Mountain, Pacific (also Alaska and Hawaii) timezones .... preemptions that usually happen a few episodes per month during Feb/March/April every year. (Four dates in February, two dates in March, plus four dates in late April or early May.) CBS already does this to B&B and Y&R every year, and also "The Talk" was affected. CBS doesn't think the western timezone viewers matter, "oh those viewers can just watch the show online", but still, it matters when you're premiering a new soap. Those "partial preemptions only in some timezones" are weird. I'd rather that CBS completely preempt the soaps in all timezones on the soccer match dates. That way viewers who watch soaps on broadcast TV don't miss the episodes. I hope they delay the debut of BTG until after the February soccer dates. If they start BTG in January, then I hope the show is completely preempted in all timezones on the February soccer dates.
