I don't think they're too thrilled with him at the moment, lol. I could see Mike Pence maybe starting his own church. I do believe this much: I don't see his and "Mother"'s marriage lasting too much longer. I think she was even less thrilled than Melania to live in that kind of fishbowl for the past four years, and I think that put enormous pressure on her and Mike's union, too. So, while I'm not saying it's a GUARANTEE that the two will end up splitting, I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen.

But, he'd make more with that reality series/sitcom I pitched earlier.

"Former Vice-President Mike Pence and his wife, Karen, are finally out of the White House and ready to begin the next chapter of their lives. But, first, they'll have to move out of their daughter's basement. "THE PENCES. Coming this fall to ABC."

If I've said it once, I've said it a million times: JER [!@#$%^&*] HATED this show.

Ironically, Armie Hammer is probably more noteworthy as a fucked-up mess than he is as an actor.

I'm literally heartsick over this news. I hate the term "credit to our race" for obvious reasons, but she truly was. She effortlessly embodied the best parts of Black Americans.

Oh, Lord. What can I say about Cicely Tyson that hasn't been said already? Wypipo had Meryl; we (POC) had Cicely. She brought dignity and class to every production she appeared in. Rare is the moment when I, as a Black man, have not felt transformed by one of her many, artful performances. African-Americans, and African-American actresses in particular, owe Miss Tyson a tremendous debt for the doors she broke down through her body of work -- and no, there will never, ever be another one like her. Rest in peace and in power, my Queen. Thank you again for your work and your convictions. We will miss you always. The young guy on Gayle's left (sorry, don't know his name) was right: she often spoke so eloquently that you HAD to sit up and pay attention. Right now, I'm recalling her speech in front of the former slave quarters in "Tyler Perry's Madea's Family Reunion," reminding everyone there what the TRUE purpose of a family reunion is and urging Black men and women to "take their place." Overall, that movie, like most of Tyler Perry's stuff, was colorist, misogynistic crap; but oh, how she (and Maya Angelou) managed to elevate even THAT piece of dung is something that will never stop amazing me.

Ah, okay. I thought it was related to the circus (I still laugh whenever I think about Doug & Julie participating -- "We're back!" "And we brought a tiger!") but DAYS being DAYS, I wasn't sure if that was how they were dressing Mickey on the regular by that point.

I forget -- why was John Clarke's Mickey dressed like Auntie Mame on a fox hunt again?

There are times when I think this [!@#$%^&*] is never going away.

Yep. And maybe a deal to appear on "Celebrity Big Brother," too. And then we'll have to hear this-or-that Z-level "celebrity" go on and on about how they got to know the former veep and that he isn't at all the bland, stuck-in-the-mud evangelical Christian that the rest of us made him out to be.

Oh, no. Not Phyllis.

Thanks, @JaneAusten. Nothing about the people who run my state surprises me anymore. And we're just as idiotic as they are, if not more, because we keep electing them.

Agree!!

Tyler Perry's "Madea's COVID Shot".

Wow, my first time to see Doris Belack, Tom Berenger, Kathy Glass, Bernie Grant, Alice Hirson and Dorrie Kavanaugh on OLTL! Thanks, @Sean!

Take it, Wendy!

Agree. When I saw that tweet, I thought, "Well, there's a mass grave waiting to happen!".

Even if the Senate doesn't convict him at the impeachment trial -- and IMO, there's a good chance they won't -- I STILL support splintering the GOP into two parties. Trump and the Patriot Party could fill the news cycles for the next four years and beyond. However, as I've said upthread, breaking up the GOP like this would only help the Democrats, as I doubt either party (the "Establishment" GOP or the new "Patriot Party") would grow much beyond their established bases. If anything, I think the Patriot Party would flounder quickly, due to a combination of lack of fundraising support and overall incompetence in running a political campaign. Many Trump supporters were elected to positions of leadership in local, state and federal government, but only because they had the GOP's considerable financial and other resources. Once they're on their own, all that goes away.

So, another flop actress thinks Biden is a criminal? Whatevs!

Yeah, but you know this is gonna come back to bite him (sorry, Alvin) come re-election time. "How can you trust a Senator," they'll say, "who would even lie about having a dog?".

First weekend of the new Biden administration, and of course, some funky [!@#$%^&*] had to go down (in Tacoma, WA). Apparently, a Tacoma police officer, who was in pursuit of someone doing burnouts (?), ran down a bunch of pedestrians with their car, then sped on, basically committing a hit-and-run. Here's a link to an article w/ video. Warning: it's graphic. https://www.thenewstribune.com/news/local/article248726860.html Get ready, folks, 'cuz you KNOW the cries to defund/abolish the police are a-comin'.
