So Biden is going to win Georgia, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Nevada right? BBC news seems to think this should be called any time now so I'm guessing places feel good about those four. Is that all that's left?

This should be over anytime now right?

They really need to go ahead and call this is minute Biden pulls ahead in Pennsylvania. The longer this goes on, the worst Trump supporters will get.

So all the violence people thought would happen is coming directly from Tump supporters? What a shock.

This speech from Trump is low key insane wtf.

I'm confused on how Biden was polling so well in places like Florida but loses? Same with some of these other places.

Watching from over here and praying that the Democrats have a good night across the board! About how long till they start having some ideas of where it's going?

All of the undecideds on CNN broke for Biden except for I think one who basically said it was a wash. I'm not seeing anyone care about the oil thing on twitter outside of people who were already voting for Trump. In other news, I think the Hunter Biden thing finally died with this debate. Even the WSJ basically said it's nothing.

Oh I know the tweet was. I meant Giuliani, Trump, and whoever else is involved in the original story. I'm actually in Australia and we sadly have out fair share of crazies in the government. Hoping the New Zealand wave moves over here and our right wingers get voted out asap.

Says a lot that they think that this story somehow reflects badly on Joe Biden. In political news from my part of the world, the Nats (New Zealand's right wing party) are going down in flames in the election. Labour might win by a big enough margin to win the majority outright and avoid a cooperation government with the Greens.

Trump doing his best Eva Peron/Evita impression today was really something.

There's no way they're going to be able to claim this as a victory for Trump without really reaching. This is so bad.

So what is the deal with Ed Markey and why is he left wing American twitter's newest obsession? I'd literally never heard of this man or Joe Kennedy (I obviously know his family though) till yesterday but now everyone is obsessed with him? From what I can tell, they basically have almost identical positions so what gives. I saw some people being really nasty about Kennedy; basically saying how dare he primary Markey and that they were glad he lost because he's evil. Again they're basically the same politically it seems so I'm just lost.

Well of course, you're getting to no objection on this from me on this. I avoid Sky News unless necessary because they're so bad. I agree they totally helped the Libs. It's gross to see them fawn over the likes of ScoM or Pauline Hanson or whoever every time you turn it on. As for the rest @Vee @DRW50 , I admit that I was wrong and thank you both for the insight. At the risk of sounding ignorant, I have to admit I was not aware of all that and hadn't put much thought into. I only get and see the most surface level of US political news from places like CNN, twitter, or Australian news media, so I'm admittedly usually on seeing things that appeal to me and my biases.Thanks for opening my eyes a little on this subject.

I think Trump is horrible of course, but I have to also admit that from my view on American TV news media, I don't see a pro-Trump bias either. I have CNN on the telly constantly and CNN is usually always going in on him and having guests that are anti-republican. I know it doesn't make a difference in the US, but most of the media here is also clearly very against him too or at least thinks he's bad for conservatism. We do get Fox News here in Australia and I assume that's very pro-Trump, but I never watch that to know. I do see pro-Trump/Republican articles from the NY Times and Washington Post, but there are also just as many anti-Trump stories. I guess maybe you have to live there, but from my point of view, I don't see it. He obviously has enablers in conservative media circles that will do anything for him, but I don't see it more mainstream news outlets.

Coronavirus/Covid-19 Discussion Thread
I'm not sure where DaytimeFan is from, but I echo what they said. I can only speak for Australia, but I only see compassion and worry for the US and the people there. There is ire perhaps for some of the politicians but only genuine concern for the citizens and for how horrid the numbers are.

GH: Classic Thread
I don't remember a single thing about him really except that his singing was annoying af and that the backstory was really convoluted. Like I think his mum was a friend of Felicia's grandmother and there was something involving Sean and a mask maybe? It's probably just me but I always found both Felicia and Sean's Mexico/Texas backstories to be messy and not really make sense. I remember him being around for a while though, like at least through maybe the end of 1992? I think he was long gone though by the time Dominique died and Felicia fake died at that was early 1993. I don't even remember when he showed up but Sean and Tiffany been married for a while when he did.

I'm sure I'll regret asking, but can someone tell me who Matt Gaetz is? Googling him just tells me that he's a Republican congressman which isn't much help lol. Is there a particular reason this is a big story?

The Politics Thread
What press? Certainly not the international press and not from any of the US reporters I'm seeing on twitter. I'm watching CNN right now and they're just totally ripping him to shreds over this and saying how damaging this whole this is. Literally the only people still okay with him are right wing people and they were never going to abandon him. Also, speaking as a person in one of the countries that was supposedly laughing at the US, I can confirm that we've been inspired by the protestors and are only laughing at him. Even the Trump sycophants here are laughing at him and calling this a complete failure for him.

Loving/The City Discussion Thread
Geraldine Page on a soap would have been everything. Somebody like Sandy Dennis would have been great too, but they were both two "big" I guess for any of them. Can someone point me towards where I can see Kim Hunter on The Edge of Night?

All My Children Tribute Thread
She came back for one of the anniversaries too- either the 25th or the 30th. It's the one where they also brought back Mark, Donna, Chuck, Daisy, Benny, Cecily, Nina, etc and they had a party at the Martin house. I loved them and their wedding at the time. I'm sure it was probably irritating to some how prominent they became in such a short amount of time, but they were so good together at the time. I still hate how they killed Edmund off for no reason.

I think Jason threw him off the roof of GH. Like most Guza era villains, the Manny saga went on forever. In addition to the train wreck antics, there was also when he shot up the PCPD, shooting Sam (and I think Lucky too at some point), holding all the women in town hostage, and some absurd plot point involving him escaping out of custody on a plane. It was just all ridiculous. It had nothing to do with actors and everything to do with the fact that Jason and Sonny always had to be the "good" guys. Just skimming through that train wreck clip remind me of how horrendous that era of the show was. Reese!, Skye and Tracy fighting over Luke, Manny, Courtney, Sonny and Jason 24/7. I don't even remember that Jesse dude that I guess is with Maxie. This was all right after Nikolas's look a like raped Emily and that horrible story with the Corinthos children, Michael "dying", and then him supposedly killing AJ with a pillow. I'll admit that I mostly still really liked GH up until around this era. This is around the time it really started pissing me off. I think we also had the replacement Felicia at this point because Brian Frons and JFP had decided Kristina Wagner was "matronly" and ran her off the show. I did remind me though that both Julie Berman and Laura Wright did hit the ground running as Lulu and Carly. Berman definitely got...less impressive as time went on and Wright has gotten kind of lazy but, at the time, they both were doing very well right out of the gate.

I barely remember the specifics of his introduction but he was part of some mob family that came to Port Charles to kill Sonny and Jason. That never happened obviously and then at some point he became obsessed with Sam. At some point after all this, he had an identical twin brother show up who was a priest and was there during the hostage crisis.

It was something to do with Liz and Lucky's wedding I think. Maybe they were all going to a party afterwards? It just also happened to be the train that Sam and Jason were on and Manny showed up to stalk Sam. Then somehow Carly escaped from jail or the psychiatric hospital and also ended up on the same [!@#$%^&*] train. None of it ever made sense.
