Khan

Folks: "Oh, he just has stage fright!" Khan: "Stage fright, my ass! Bill Bell and Agnes Nixon had stage fright, but they just got tongue-tied. Frank's either on the spectrum or he's ill." That's exactly what's going on here. We spent months and months on Kristina, Molly, TJ and that damn baby, and that's how it ends? The baby's dead*, Kraze are kaput and Blaze is out the door (but her homophobic mom isn't)? Frank can kiss my black ass! (*I'm not exactly sorry that the baby is dead, but you don't spend all this time on a pregnancy that ends in miscarriage. That's a terrible payoff.) This is why I was against her being bisexual. Daytime is not fully committed to telling stories about characters who are bisexual. In the end, they just cop out and put that character in a heterosexual relationship anyway. All I can say is, bring on THE GATES.

I'm not sure if CBS had officially cancelled DW, or if they were thinking seriously about it. Either way, Viewers for Quality Television launched a letter-writing campaign to save the show. IIRC, when CBS decided to reverse course and put the show back on Monday nights, they waved a white flag outside one of the network's offices to show they had surrendered to the fans, lol.

A pretty good sign that TPTB were glad to be rid of her. I'm curious as to how longtime ATWT fans here felt about Melinda's introduction. Did y'all buy that Jennifer Ryan could have had an illegitimate daughter whom she later gave up for adoption and told no one about? How was Melinda received at the time by the audience and the soap press? Did they buy her as Barbara's long-lost sister or not?

Oh, thank goodness. The sequence was grisly enough without having to watch them drag her lifeless body out of the water. I think the fact that they taped it on location makes her death seem more real. If they had taped the whole thing in the studio, it might've looked laughable, with viewers insisting Melinda didn't really die. Of course, I understand Brad's grief in this situation, but I think Peter Brouwer was way overdoing it, lol.

Did they show Melinda's corpse? I wonder why she didn't just swim away from the boat as she saw it approaching.

For me, the ideal CBS "Ladies' Night" Monday Night lineup would have been: 8:00/7:00: "Kate & Allie" 8:30/7:30: "The Cavanaughs"* 9:00/8:00: "Newhart" 9:30/8:30: "Designing Women" 10:00/9:00: "Cagney & Lacey" (*Yes, I loved watching "The Cavanaughs." Shut up.)

At this point, I think Trump's polling numbers are pretty well "locked in," for lack of a better word. They might fluctuate slightly as the run-up to the election continues, but I don't see his campaign suddenly converting anyone who isn't already converted. To me, therefore, the objective between now and Election Day is to convince those who'd otherwise vote third party or stay home to vote for Harris/Walz. I didn't listen to the "interview" for the simple fact that I (and the rest of the free world) have heard it all before. Not only is Donald Trump perhaps the most dangerous man in the country, he's also the most boring. Besides, if I wanted to hear two narcissists fawn over each other, I'd watch "The Sammy Maudlin Show."

The fact that they're even fact-checking something that can be and has been easily disproved tells you everything you need to know. Of course, I've had friends on FB tell me that the media is doing the right thing in showing Trump like this. But, as I still say, what's the point? We know by now that nothing he says or does will ever change his supporters' minds about him, so where's the value in showing him at his most delusional and unhinged beyond lining the media's pockets even more?

It's a sad day when you realize "Lily Walsh Snyder" was smarter than the woman who portrayed her. Sadly, that's how I feel about most Trump supporters. Even if we defeat him in November and he goes away (to prison, to the sanitarium or nursing home, to Dubai, to...wherever), his diehards will never go away, nor will they ever give up their fight.

Good point(s). Nevertheless, it does say something that many people, including me and @DRW50, were and are immediately skeptical of the story. That's what happens when you tell so many lies. Sooner or later, people stop believing you. Just ask Paige Matheson. First, it was RFK Jr and the dead bear cub in Central Park; now, it's Donald Trump and the emergency helicopter landing that happened, but not in the place he says it did, or with the Black person he says was with him. This is shaping up to be the craziest election cycle yet, and the DNC is still a few weeks away! From what I can gather, Martha Byrne says that many Republicans rallied around her and her family after she went on NewsMax and Fox News to talk about her husband's conviction, which she insists was unjust, while no Democrats offered any support whatsoever. Now, I'm not saying that she isn't right in that our nation's criminal justice system is corrupt. It is, and very. But I highly doubt that her husband, a veteran, highly decorated NYPD officer turned private investigator, had no idea that his client was connected to the Chinese Communist Party. That [!@#$%^&*] might fly on "The Rockford Files," but not IRL.

Martha just won't accept that her husband is guilty as hell, lol.

At this point, the press should just hold up giant signs that read: "WE WANT TRUMP -- AND YOU SHOULD, TOO!" I mean, just cut to the damn chase and stop pretending they still understand the meaning of objectivity.

I dunno. Something about that story - and the timing of it hitting the news - sounds kind of fishy to me.

Do you REALLY believe that? No, it isn't. That's what makes him honorable.

They do this [!@#$%^&*] every time: use a song without permission, then get called out for it. Why don't they just stick to playing Paul Anka and Lee Greenwood at their rallies and leave the other artists alone?

If there's one thing you don't do, you DON'T call a Black woman a "bitch." Not if you value your life. I agree! And AFAIC, Joe Biden has earned the right to do absolutely jack 'til January.

Nate Holden: "I guess we all look alike!" LOL!! That sentence pretty much sums up Trump's attitude toward people of color. Yep. They won't be satisfied until Kamala Harris says, "Death to all the Jews!" Amen!! Something tells me Hunter Biden, in particular, is never gonna forget what was done to his dad by those whom he trusted the most.

This is like when "Cheers" would alternate between Joel Polis and Robert Desiderio as Gary.

I'll believe THAT when I see it, lol.

And of course, NO MAJOR NEWS OUTLET carried the AZ rally, but CNN is carrying Trump's rally in Bozeman, Montana. I truly look forward to the day when outlets like CNN and the NYT are put out of business.

Nothing like seeing a white man try and turn Black people against each other to make you feel glad to be alive!

For ONCE, the NYT did the right thing: they asked for the proof. And all Trump could do was repeat their request back to them in a sing-songy way, like the petulant bully that he has always been. Now, will the NYT finally realize how much contempt their man actually has for them and admit that he's a narcissist and a damn liar? Or will they once again absolve him through weasel words and "both sides"-speak, because 1) they're afraid of him and of being sued; and 2) they don't want him to cut off access? My money's on the latter.

That won't satisfy the far-left anymore than her other statement did.
