Bill Kristol's son works for Tom Cotton and Kristol has praised Cotton, so you can guess where this is going. If he does pick Cotton (a charisma vacuum with a lot of rumors swirling about him), then that would make sense, given his support for Sarah Palin.

 

Miami-Dade ballots being held up, AKA more Florida rigging, right on cue.

It's a shame we have to put ourselves at risk -- y'know, with COVID-19 and all -- but I think we, more than any other voter bloc in this country, understand what's at stake here.

I trust black voters more than any other voting block, particularly black women. It still angers me that 2016 was partially about how black voters did not show up for Hillary. Only when voter suppression starts impacting white people like this year does the media pay attention to it. Nothing in 2016 about the voting machines in Detroit that went bad causing thousands to have to vote provisionally, or the draconian voter ID laws and legal orders that the GOP ignored to prevent black people from getting id's that were acceptable in Wisconsin, or the hundreds of new voting machines in a warehouse in Georgia while the now Gov then sec of state told people they closed polling places due to lack of equipment in 2018. The list goes on.

France and Belgium seem to have recurring problems with terrorism, France most of all, with Belgium often seemingly housing sleeper cells that eventually seem to make their way to France. Nice seems to suffer an attack about once a year.

That the French government seems content with ignoring their racism and repeating their well-rehearsed motto of 'French-ness' for all while relegating POCs to the banlieus and expect success is mystifying to me.

    • 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.
