Senator (and Navy veteran) Mark Kelly campaigning for Kamala Harris at an IHOP (pancake house) -- to get veterans out to vote in Arizona: https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/10/16/mark-kelly-boosts-veterans-knocks-trump-at-harris-campaign-stop/75694553007/ Here's a clip of Mark Kelly having a conversation with a vet who supported Trump, and Kelly explaining the actual facts -- I think Kelly may have convinced him. I will try to embed the tiktok. Then I'll post a twitter copy of the same tiktok. Hopefully you can see one of them and be able to share it with anyone who may need to see it: https://www.tiktok.com/@jolly_good_ginger/video/7427510176938216735 https://x.com/maddenifico/status/1847740467514937485

NY Times describing Tr*ump's comment about the size of Arnold Palmer's d*ck

Here are the *real* fall spoilers: https://www.tvinsider.com/1151079/soaps-fall-2024-preview-general-hospital-days-of-our-lives-young-and-the-restless-bold-and-the-beautiful/ We know JPL is coming back as Philip, he's on the Day of Days list, so I would guess Philip's the one in the tvinsider spoiler.

"Show how are you feeling right now as a GIF or YT clip" Seems like some tweets from this new account might fit here ...

I do agree that, in general, some of of the so-called "town halls" on various networks have planted people from a political party asking biased questions and/or irrelevant/ignorant questions. There was an Oct. 15 event in Georgia billed as a women's town hall asking Trump questions. It aired on Fox but it was edited. According to CNN: https://edition.cnn.com/2024/10/16/media/fox-news-women-town-hall-supporters/index.html “I want to thank you for coming to a room full of women the current administration would consider domestic terrorists,” a woman named Alicia said to laughter from the audience before a question about foreign policy. But a portion of Alicia’s question was edited by Fox News to remove her admission that she was voting for Trump. “I proudly cast my vote for you today. I hope they count it,” she added, according to an audio recording from a CNN reporter in attendance. While it’s common for a pre-taped event or interview to be edited for time, Alicia’s short remark came in the middle of her question, which remained intact on the broadcast. During another moment missing from Fox’s broadcast, Trump asked the crowd who they were voting for, leading to a chant of “Trump, Trump” breaking out by the attendees. Fox News did not respond to CNN questions about the missing remarks. Yeah I agree there definitely needs to be more fact-checking on both interviews and on town halls.

Univision's live town halls (with Harris on Oct. 10; and with Trump Oct. 16) had audience members asking relevant questions. youtube links: Harris Oct. 10 (Spanish feed) (Link) Harris Oct. 10 (English feed) (Link) Trump Oct. 16 (Spanish feed) (Link) Trump Oct. 16 (English feed) (Link) Some of the audience members asked better questions than some news reporters tend to ask.

Quoting emptywheel: "These two clips show, I think, that when she has a chance to do that, either what she says or the references she makes or the empathy and leadership she models can be successful in persuading people not just that she’ll put their interests first, but that they’ve been lied to." --- A few more thoughts in a *different* blog post from Emptywheel, regarding the Univision town halls, and Kamala Harris being interviewed by Baier on Fox : https://www.emptywheel.net/2024/10/17/hen-in-the-fox-house-kamala-harris-alludes-to-what-you-and-i-both-know/

Full video of October 10 Kamala Harris Univision town hall Aaron Rupar tweeted some highlights of Kamala Harris' Oct. 10 Univision town hall. This is a copy of his twitter thread, you don't need twitter to see the clips: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1844559423114707461.html I really appreciate her answers about healthcare, Long Covid, etc.

If anyone wants to pass along the above tweet of the side-by-side comparison of the same audience member asking questions at the Trump and Harris Univision town halls .... If you don't use twitter, here's the same on a twitter alternative: ( "xcancel.com" instead of "x.com"). Click, (it might pause to verify you're not a bot), and then it will work: https://xcancel.com/MsMalarkey24/status/1846945642377056462 Or, much more simply, the two clips via youtube, which you can easily share with anyone: The gentleman audience member asking at the Trump Univision town hall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXJWjj0ML7Y And the same audience member at the Harris Univision town hall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS5SfqI1eVc

I didn't even know of the character Paloma's existence until just now when seeing the name mentioned above and looking at a wiki. (I have been an intermittent viewer). Well okay then. That would fit, perhaps Sasha is Holly's niece?

This is just me randomly wildly guessing: What if Holly isn't actually Sasha's biological mother, but Sasha greeted her at the door as "Mother" because ... What if, back in the past before Sasha first came to Port Charles, what if Holly and Sasha had done cons together, with Holly pretending to be Sasha's mother? ? ? That would explain Sasha calling her "Mother" at the door yesterday, as a reference to their con team past?

Well yeah diamonds! Wouldn't Holly have learned that her daughter Sasha was involved with Cody and some diamonds storyline? If Holly had zero maternal care in her heart, she would at least have come back to use her daughter Sasha for getting the diamonds. That would have been something in character for conwoman Holly to do. But it didn't happen. Instead it was Sasha's mother-in-law Gladys using Sasha for profit? 1) Holly didn't reach out with maternal care during all the years that everything horrible was happening to Sasha. 2) Conwoman Holly didn't use her daughter Sasha for profit in the Cody diamond storyline. Holly didn't do either of those two things (that we know of). So how could she be Sasha's biological mother?

Sometimes a tweet summarizes things better than I could ...

I don't think this will be a good storyline... But I guess this must have been what she was tweeting about.

I worded that too politely. Let me try that again. HELL NO !!!! to Robert being Sasha's father. (angry emojis and expletives at the very suggestion)

This is so intense and amazing. I can watch this scene only once in a while because my heart gets torn to shreds.

I hadn't even considered Robert as Sasha's father. I'd just say no to that.

I hadn't paid much attention to either Sasha or Cody, so I don't know their backgrounds. How would they potentially be cousins?

Sinead?! She's now out there cursing him from the afterlife / great beyond -- or she's not wasting a single drop of energy on him
