The media is so afraid to appear biased that they have to "both sides" everything and allow lunatics like Donald Trump to ramble on unchecked. Yet, they let their bias show the SECOND they hold Democrats to a double standard. Then, when someone gets enough nerve to call the media out on their [!@#$%^&*], what do they do? They get defensive, say it's their job to report the news and not be arbiters of facts; then, they lecture us on what their job is, even though we know damn well what it is. It's appalling how "in the tank" the media is for the GOP. They actually believe that if they kiss Trump's ring enough, he'll spare them if/when he gets to realize his totalitarian fantasies. In a way, you almost WANT him to win again, if only to see the media's reaction when they realize they've been played.

Trump referred to "transgender world" in his...whatever that was. I was just being cute. As usual, Trump goes entirely off the rails and all the press writes or talks about is that he challenged Harris to three debates. Nothing at all about the...whatever that was. Someone needs to educate the journalists on what journalism is and is not.

"...but it's a transgender world when the whistle blows No one owns a piece of my time And there's a transgender me inside my clothes Thinking that the world looks fine, yeah..."

I swear, at any moment, that man's gonna start singing "Donald's Turn."

Wait, did he just mention the price of bacon!? WTF is this [!@#$%^&*], lol?

Oh, he IS panicking, lol!

Wake me when he holds a gun to the baby's head.

IIRC, there was a rumor that Claire Labine had not only planned to bring back Trudy, but to reveal that in the years away from the rest of the family, she had become destitute.

GOAL!! But seriously. We've tried taking the high road, but it just plain wasn't working. If anything, it was hobbling the Democratic Party, making it appear weak and ineffectual to the rest of the country; and I'm sorry, but I think we got enough of that bullshit in the '80's with Walter Mondale and Michael Dukakis.

I agree. They want one thing and one thing only (besides attention): to watch the country burn. And they'll keep moving the goalposts for the Democrats until that happens, too. Meanwhile, CNN's Jake Tapper is wondering what happened to "When they go low, we go high." Apparently, the same man whom Jill Biden had to shut down for bringing up her husband's "gaffes" while saying nothing about Trump's outright lies thinks Gov. Walz was being gross about his "couch joke" at JD Vance's expense. (Seriously, the more Americans rally behind Harris and Walz, the harder it is for the media to contain their frustration, lol).

I think you can if you pay for the Plex Premium plan, but don't quote me on that, lol.

Should we care? I mean, all he's gonna do is unleash more "American Carnage" [!@#$%^&*] and spread more lies about Harris and Walz. (I am so, so tired of that man. I wish he would just disappear.)

Guess I'll have to get PLEX, lol.

But DOC didn't join DAYS' writing staff immediately, right? There was some time in between his getting the axe at one show and getting picked up at another; and in that same period of time, Chris Van Etten was also fired and then re-hired as "breakdown writer." Yet, Frank couldn't do the same for CVE's former collaborator? Again, unless DOC got the offer to return and said no thanks, it doesn't smell right.

I've seen that look and heard that tone so many times from my own mother (a Black woman). All she needed to do was quote Millie Jackson - "Go! Follow your rainbow!" - and I would've been GONE.

First of all, never admit to the press that you're basically an alcoholic. Second, Vance's statement, challenging Harris to a debate but NOT Walz (and hiding behind pretty flimsy excuses), is a clear signal that either 1) Vance is too scared to debate with Walz and thinks he has a better shot at debating with Harris (which would make no sense to do, since he's not running for president "...or is he?") OR 2) Trump himself is not up to debating anyone, let alone his challenger for the presidency. Of course, both things could be true as well. At the risk of sounding like a "Maury" guest who's desperate to prove Trayquon is little Shamayla's father: look at his ear! Does that look like an ear that was grazed by a bullet or by shrapnel? I realize some people heal quicker than others, but that quick with no residual scars? I don't think so.

All JDV had to say was, "What makes me happy? My wife and my kids." Five words. Just five [!@#$%^&*] words, and he couldn't say it. What. A. Douche. I'm sure the GOP will claim that that episode with the heat-exhausted rallygoer was staged. To which, *I* say, "Prove to us that Trump's assassination attempt wasn't!" I think I read somewhere that his campaign team has closed most of their field offices? A sure sign that Team Trump is broke. PLUS, I'm not so sure that his staying home isn't related to what are clearly signs of mental/psychological and cognitive decline. I haven't had much to do these days, so I've been checking out social media more (I know, lol) and I see there's one account on X called "Anonymous" that's predicting that Trump will drop out. I don't think he will - he's much too narcissistic - but I really wish he would, lol.

He got to come back...and Dan O'Connor didn't? Unless O'Connor was offered the chance to return and turned him down, something about that doesn't smell right.

People say dumb [!@#$%^&*] when they're [!@#$%^&*]-faced, but "Brad Hollister is the perfect lover"? Nobody gets THAT drunk. I don't know WHAT the EP at the time (either Joe Rothenberger or Fred(die) Bartholomew) was thinking. It's one thing if Brad had been written as this nerdy, loner type who was infatuated with Dee - someone he could have regarded as beautiful and unattainable - but they tried to make it seem like all the women in Oakdale, including poor Melinda, was just crazy about his junk.

For once, I was on Brad's side. I, too, wanted Melinda to sit down and STFU. That entire sequence played out like a slasher movie.

It isn't so much the GOP I would be concerned about in this situation, but all the purity-seeking, holier-than-thou types on the left and far-left who are too self-righteous to see when they're playing right into the enemy's hands. I'll never forget OR forgive Kirsten Gillibrand and her lot for forcing Al Franken, the only Democrat who wasn't phased at all by Trumpism early on, to leave the Senate without so much as an official investigation (which would have, IMO, exposed Leeann Tweeden's real motives in coming forward). Next to how the Democratic Party treated Joe Biden at the end, that was the wrongest thing I'd ever seen my party do.

My dad (God rest his soul) had a 'stache when I was an infant and toddler; and let me tell you, that baby was as rich as Corinthian leather, lol.

LOL!! I'm just saying: the media will find something wrong with Walz - I mean, REALLY wrong - and Democrats being Democrats, we'll force him out (even though what he (allegedly) did likely won't be anywhere near as bad as everything Trump did in 1982 alone); and sure, we'll lose the election, but at least we'll feel good about ourselves, knowing that we've once again scored a gold medal in the Purity Olympics. RME. Meanwhile, is this good or bad? I honestly can't tell: https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4814178-cori-bush-missouri-squad/

But they DID find the guy who (allegedly) carried on a years-long love affair with Barack. It's just that Donald Trump managed to distract them all with his birtherism nonsense. Otherwise, that might have been the thing to torpedo his entire campaign, true or not. I realize I'm borrowing trouble here, but you have to understand: I might have been still in elementary school when it happened, but I still remember the whole Gary Hart/Donna Rice/Fawne Hall mess, as well as the impact it had not just on Hart's bid for the nomination, but on political reporting thereafter. That scandal really was the start (in this age, at least) of the media's digging into candidates' lives and finding the juiciest, most salacious stories they could in order to sell newspapers and such; and, if possible, make it harder for one side or the other (but usually the Democrats) to win. Am I being too cynical? Probably. Nevertheless, I'm bracing myself for the possibility of learning that Walz is a serial pedophile who used the gay/lesbian student alliance he co-founded at Mankato West High as a means of grooming underaged boys.
