@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.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Aback · Posted

      I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him.

      I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.

      Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much.

        Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year.

      Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go.

      The Madonna Thread

      By Maxim · Posted

      Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.

      Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
