This is why I don't buy that Trump encourages people to disagree with him or push back on his ideas.  He might foster differences of opinion between others because, in his eyes, it's gamesmanship.  But disagree with or openly criticize him, and he will make you disappear.

It looks like Milo is being caught in the same "selectively edited" flap that so many on the far right love to pull.

Why an openly gay man was ever asked to headline that very far right convention never made sense to me. He's about to learn that hating all the right people isn't enough. As so many gay Republicans have over the years.

Not yet though.  Since they embraced him as the poster child for suppression of free speech by the left, they're pretty much stuck with him for now.  They aren't in a position to try to dismiss him over possibly implied pedophilia since their leader sounded all in on incestuous pedophilia.  Then there's sick Mike Huckabee who made some "joke" about watching young girls take showers.  Those conservatives who excused Trumpophilia can turn their noses up but they're going to have to absorb the stench because the only way out from under this now is the fall of Trump or if MY says or does something vile enough that can't be glossed over.

More sunlight on yet another unsavory/suspect 'character' that is linked to Trump's cabal. Wish people had been this transparent and literate before the election but it is what it is, right? 

They say sunlight is the best disinfectant. I hope so.

The writeup on this guy Sater is a doozy and that's saying a lot for this cabal.

This is awful but it's the kind of stuff he's been doing for ages. He's dirt in the worst sense.

 

We've been considering cancelling our cable service regardless, but  finally did today. My intended gets internet service with his job so we don't need that aspect of the service anymore. When asked why we were cancelling, I told them it was due to Bill Maher and his show and support of Milo. I said for HBO to continue to support this was a bridge too far for us. Granted this is not the cable service direct issue, but hey maybe it's on record somewhere.

    • After today’s rushed and abrupt exit for Summer I immediately realized that Josh & Co. were very blindsided by AL’s decision to leave.  Not the first time this has happened to JG either; see MM & HK’s exits in 2021, MM’s exit in 2022, and of course TSJ’s exit last year. Obviously JG and our executive in charge of nothing Steve Kent don’t have a good handle on casting disruptions. And Mariah having an offscreen affair is [!@#$%^&*] ridiculous!! Meanwhile Tessa’s blonde hair is overkill with the number of blondes on the show already. I said the same thing 3 years ago…of course it was utterly ridiculous everyone was mad at Sally for getting Summer he dream job (don’t ask lol) but there was so much the show could have done without bringing on the Marchetti angle.
    • Does the ball on GL where Philip revealed that he had forced Alan out of Spaulding count or was that not Philip's idea?  There was a ball on AMC where Adam revealed that he had bankrupted Palmer, I think (or was it the other way around?), but I can't remember who threw that.
    • Thanks for honoring Ruth Buzzi. She was a treasure. I'm glad DAYS let her have some fun. I remember Imogene Coca complaining about ATWT just giving her a drab guest part.
    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
