@Vee I love Nora Dunn, forever one of my SNL heroes, so thanks for the tweet from her. I have no real dislike for Rachel Maddow (I don't care much for her show but the insane hatred she gets from leftists is offputting and at times a bit frightening), but that tweet was Beltway 101. 

 

I do think you and @JaneAusten raise many valid points, and I do think there's a good chance he has it so I'm not going to try to do some point-for-point thing where I say you're wrong...it's just so many little blips for me. Here's another, where Fox News is already giving the script away.

What glorious news to wake up to. At least this means no more debates. I was dreading the next one because it was in Miami and DeSantis has pretty much turned that state into a COVID killing field. I now officially want Joe to return to his basement. I know he likes retail politics but enough is enough. The weather is getting cooler and inside spread is going to get worse.

 

I just can't with the idea that this helps him. I'm seeing people talk about how this could get him sympathy votes as if that's even a thing.

What a joke. I hope Biden and his people ignore this type of press concern trolling.

 

 

 

I'm not sure if the plans for him to open up campaigning more, allow the campaign to have more engagement like door-knocking, and to go out on the road (Bernie is too apparently) are because of the recent articles about the big voter registration gap helping the GOP, or if they were always planned. They are being spun as panic mode, so maybe there is something polling-wise they are seeing. Either way I agree Joe should probably get back off the road for his own sake.

Some thoughts.

 

What if .... (just speculating)

 

What if ... he *intentionally* got himself infected with the virus for any of these motives:

  • As a way to avoid the rest of the debates.
  • So as to distract from his tax issues.
  • He probably assumes that he will recover quickly ...
    so if he were infected and recovered quickly, then he would make himself look dominant, to say that COVID is no big deal, that he can beat anything, that it doesn't matter if you wear a mask, etc.


These theories might seem extreme, but I wouldn't put it past him to do anything like this.

 

Some say that it cannot be a ploy, because the Dow Jones has crashed but ... I doubt he'd care because he could have money stashed somewhere.

 

 

I mean, obviously he probably simply got COVID because he doesn't take reasonable precautions. 

 

But still ... nothing would surprise me.

    • Christian Streaty wrote her second freelance script today on Days. Surprised they gave the first funeral episode to a newbie.  
    • And the third thing, which I have no cite for, and I may look to see if one is findable, but supposedly she said that the show had too much gay content in it. And, to be fair, that could be someone making a criticism about balance & not be bigotry but when it's added to the other, that's why it bugs people.

      The greatest tv series season finale in history.   
    • Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe. 
    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna? 
    • This is the coldest early June in my life. It's like it's January.

    • Now this strikes me as funny. I have it up on my acct. The thing is I only have S2. Didn't want either 1 or 3.  Perhaps I should just list all of these that I have up.  Parodies: Dirty Sexy Money, Filthy Rich Incomplete: The Monroes, All That Glitters, Falcon Crest (have all just not all up), Once & Again S2 only Complete: Models Inc, Pasadena, Pacific Palisades, Paper Dolls, Flamingo Road  
    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!
