Such an incredibly sad article for me to read through. I laughed at one point, as I would rather laugh than cry. I still remember how many Americans repaid other countries for their support after 9/11 - mocking and belittling them and bullying to try to get the globe into a strip mining and looting "liberation" that killed millions. I had never been so ashamed to be an American as I was then...until the last 4 years. 

 

If Trump is legitimately reelected, then the rest of the world should just leave us behind. We are left with what we deserve, which is nothing.

Honestly, the first and only time I visited the USA was back in summer 2016 when I visited Seattle for about 10 days, while Obama was still president. The good memories I have from that visit are the ones I’ll keep about the US. When Trump got elected, I vowed never to step foot over there again while the GOP were in power. And if he does get re-elected, then sadly I would need to write the US off completely as somewhere worth visiting.

Gayle King doing her part of defending Trump by being upset at Speaker Pelosi choice of words in describing Trump's supporters. Out of all of the things in the America that has been going and has been said on she chooses that to call out a government official out on. I see that Chris Wallace will be the moderator of that dog and pony show of a debate. I always wondered who he became is due to the fact no matter what he did, he was never going to be his father's favorite son.

Both sides, both sides, both sides, both sides. Gayle King and other out of touch elites will kill us all, with smiles on their faces, because it keeps them well paid. And sadly, many eat that up like nothing else. I can't think of a thing she or Chris Wallace have ever given to this country.

What does it say about this hatemonger if she was willing to go along with having her face all over merchandise that exists for no other reason than to insult a dead woman?

 

No matter how long she is on the court, she deserves no respect. None. She and her backers have spat on a corpse for a few lols. If she truly believed in any God, she would be filled with shame.

It IS funny.  In this day and age, however, it could also backfire, with people donating to Lady G's campaign merely to be "ironic."

 

 

Agree.

    • 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.
