But look at how the GQP has made a martyr out of the J6 mob, especially Ashli Babbitt. To the right, apparently if you attempt a break in, the perp should get milk and cookies. (But I realize they are probably trying to warp the 2A angle out of desperation.)

The race should not even be close. Says a lot about voters - and none of it good. Oh, it's a free for all today in the GQP! First Mark Robinson...and now, get a load of this!

As always, appreciate the shout out!

As I wrote in the Santa Barbara thread, I recently bought the special 50 Greatest Couples SOD print issue. Nice photos/write ups and all, but while Days, GH, Y&R, B&B, and even canceled soaps Santa Barbara, Guiding Light, As The World Turns, and All My Children had multiple couples listed, Another World only had one... But then, some soaps like Generations, Loving, Capitol, and Search For Tomorrow had zip, so...maybe one was still better.

As it always seems to be...

So, I ordered the special Soap Opera Digest 50 Greatest Couples special print issue, and it arrived recently. How the rankings were chosen, I have absolutely no idea. But what surprised me was, in that issue, while both Cruz and Eden and Mason and Julia made the list...Cruz and Eden were #36, while Mason and Julia were #23! Gotta admit, that surprised me here. (Even saying this as a mega Mason and Julia fan!) With that said, it's a nice special issue, with nice write ups and photos and such. Not sure if it is in stores, but if anyone is interested, I got it through this store which was e-mailed through the SOD e-mail account: Soap Opera Digest - 50 Greatest Couples Of All Time: Who's No. 1?, Exc – Magazine Shop US

I don't care what the FBI claims. With Loomer and the hate in Ohio and such? I would not be surprised if this latest "attempt" was staged. I'm not convinced the FIRST one wasn't. Because the timing is awfully convenient. Yes, I know conspiracy theories make everyone sound looney, myself included. But, again, with the kind of person Trump is, and those in with him? I put nothing past any of them.

I have seen talk of, perhaps, the Ohio governor calling in the National Guard to head off the Trump trash, i.e. Proud Boys and other freaks terrorizing the immigrant community there. Unsure if it's just talk/rumor, but I think it should be done. These freaks are poisoning the community.

Call this a thread cleanse after the vile racist pet propaganda: Co-founders of Ben & Jerry's unveil new Kamala Harris-inspired ice cream flavor, plan a "Get Out The Vote" drive.

The alternative is to let Putin overtake Ukraine - and, God forbid, if Trump gets back into the White House - advance even further. Putin has already poisoned OUR government. So appeasement is not an option here.

On another note as it is after midnight on the east coast... I cannot fathom it will be 23 years as of 8:46 a.m. since the most horrible attack on US soil. May the victims of 9/11 continue to rest in eternal peace. YouTube has a mega-episode uploaded taken from the heartbreaking, brilliant documentary, "9/11: One Day In America" to watch (if some here do not have Disney Plus/Hulu for the whole 6 parts). As awful as it is, it's also worth the watch. By the way, one of the men interviewed, Ron Clifford, an Irish-American that lost his sister and niece as they were on the plane that hit the South Tower, and the same man that helped victim Jennieann Mefeo before she, too, would die weeks later, has - from what I read - died himself last December. I can only hope he was reunited with them and all other 9/11 victims.

For Brit Hume to admit the obvious, I'm surprised the rage didn't make him self combust. To think he was once somewhat respected when he worked at ABC News decades ago. Faux Noise ruins everyone and everything.

You know he did, because MAGA is apoplectic with whiny rage now.

LOL! What a difference from June. Gotta love it.

Oh, Erick sounds stable! LOL.

The topic "WHAT IS HE TALKING ABOUT" (in caps there!) is trending on TwitX. LOL!

Even I, a worrier by nature, have to side with @Vee here. Trump is getting roasted, toasted, sliced, and diced. And TwitX is clearly impressed by the prosecutor annihilating the felon. Hell, even some TRUMP supporters are asking what the hell Trump is saying...

You know Dump is wishing it was still Joe Biden standing across from him. (And *I* know Joe was sick, and his mind is fine. But the optics helped Dump the last time.) Donnie is losing his sheet, and I love it. And he never answered about vetoing a national abortion ban.

Just saw a video from Marc Elias that Amendment 3, the abortion referendum in Missouri is BACK on the ballot because the Missouri Supreme Court struck down the prior ruling. Get this, the judge that ruled for the initiative to be tossed is the cousin of late monster Rush Limbaugh. Here's an article about the reinstatement: https://www.stlpr.org/government-politics-issues/2024-09-10/missouri-supreme-court-abortion-legalization-amendment-3-november-ballot

I'd forgotten Hunter had started out on Friday nights. Looking it up, the premiere was actually on a Tuesday, September 18, 1984. My 12th birthday! I read it was getting clobbered by Dallas and was close to getting the axe, but Stephen Cannell or someone else connected to the show gave Brandon Tartikoff a sneak preview of the two-part episode, "The Snow Queen" (which featured the two Dennis actors of the era, Franz and Farina!), and he was convinced to instead put the show on hiatus until another slot could be tried. That obviously became Saturday nights at 10:00 p.m. ET, it grew, and the rest was history. Cheers, when it first started, also didn't do great but was given time to grow. Too bad the networks don't really have the time or patience to do that anymore.

Watching a young James Earl Jones recite the alphabet on Sesame Street (from 1978!) is an experience! Click on the video and give a listen. ETA: One of the responses says this was actually from 1969. So...whichever year, it's still awesome!

Okay. Even at 93, I was not expecting this. This one hurts. Rest well to a wonderful, legendary (it gets thrown around, but he was!) actor with one of the most distinctive voices in cinema history. 💔 That voice MADE Darth Vader.

Hi, @slick jones! The work you put into this is INSANE, so I feel bad about pointing out a typo, but I also thought you'd want to know, for David McLean, under this marriage I quoted, the bold should read 1995. Thanks so much for all of this!

I know all about Nate Silver being owned by Peter Thiel. He was also pushed out of 538 AND fired by ABC News. That all said, I just pray to God, even as biased as he is and as trashy as he is, that Silver is not a canary in a coalmine. I hope Simon Rosenberg, Tom Bonier, and Christopher Bouzy's confidence is on target. I WANT all of these polls to be correct! But then I think of 2016 and Hillary and all the polls crowing about a big win, and my stomach will remain in a knot until Kamala Harris is OFFICIALLY announced as President-Elect of the US. Call it PTSD. But the press is sanewashing Dump and is in the tank for him, and the right doesn't seem to care that he's losing his marbles. So, long story short, this is all nice, but I won't trust it until it bears fruit come election night.

Here's another article: The GOP thinks living like the OK Corral is just fine. Vote these bastards OUT.
