The Biden-Harris transition team has a YouTube page. I watched a 20 minutes briefing. If you have watched any of the campaign rally events before the election, you likely noticed the sign language interpretation. Today, I couldn't help but notice how expressive the guy in the violet turtleneck was in his interpretation. In particular, how he signed the comment about Donald Trump's cases being laughed out of court, is really worth watching.

Thanks - my VP said in a 1:1 call - you know what, no matter how you do you'll know that you got accepted to the program.  I'm afraid but I said - getting accepted isn't enough now.  I actually thought that way beforehand, that if I got accepted that it would be enough.  Now I have to do it and don't want to fail or quit.  I need to do research on these types of programs and start prepping for things I have forgotten and God I hope it's not alot of Finance...I stunk at Finance and my checking and savings accounts would tell you I still do.  LOLLL

@Vee the whole administration is nuts.  Who even knows who advises him but they're clearly not smart or you can't control him.  He's nuts.  Like, you lost by around 3 Million votes the last time and like 7 Million this time.  The Electoral system didn't save his a** this time and he's a bitter loser.  What's going to be fun is trying to see him weasel his way back in 4 years from now after someone else more young, popular, and charismatic rises in the Republican party and defeats him in the primaries.

I don't believe he'll run again in '24. He has neither the stamina nor the attention span. I do have hope that the desperation for him will fracture the party base in the ensuing time. I don't believe they can create their own version of him. He was a freak moonshot.

 

 

Worth watching it all:

Plus he simply has too much legal exposure.

 

The idea that he'll run again in 2024 is an example of the PTSD that the whole country has left over from 2016. He's not a supervillain and he's not immortal. He's a mobster who, once he's out of office, will no longer have any real value to the people who used him to attack this country.

I don't think he's unstoppable (although I do think he is very formidable and Biden was one of the few who could have beaten him), but I think he will continue to try to tease a run to raise money and get attention. I don't think he will be here by 2024, and if he is I don't think he will be running...but I don't want to assume anything at this point. 

 

Not surprised about the Flynn pardon. Fauxgressives like Kyle Kulinski were begging him to pardon Assange and Snowden (others in that bracket like Greenwald long seem to have given up pretending to care). I think they know it's never happening and never was but will not give up the grift. Any time I hear about what a champion of free speech he is I choke.

 

In some interesting House news.

    • Dallas peaked early, IMO. Maybe not a fair statement as I’m still making my way through the first half of its run, but I think it’s hard to argue to point that S3 into S4 was its high point. Back to Knots. Wrapping up “And Never Brought to Mind.” Greg’s introduction kinda took me by surprise. I low-key dreaded his arrival bc I know he very quickly gets to the center of the show, but even though they wasted no time connecting him with Mac, Abby, Gary, and Karen, it still feels like a gradual intro. The juxtaposition of the ending of the Chip story with the heating up Abby’s plotting is quite symbolic of the changes the show was going through. I absolutely cannot imagine Kenny and Ginger having any part in any of this. Yall, the Gary/Val piano theme that they pull out from time to time is my FAVORITE. I find myself humming it constantly.
    • Bloodshed is inevitable now. It’s another reason I’m glad Black people aren’t getting involved in these protests. As awful as this is, I keep reminding myself that 54 percent of Latino men voted for Trump. These people were put in harm’s way by members of their own communities and sometimes even members of their own families. Too many people decided to touch the stove.
    • Maybe I'm still in denial, but nothing about Neighbours' ongoing social media output gives the vibe of a show that's ending. In today's 'Roundup' video, Alan Fletcher referenced that production finishes in five weeks, but in all the show's posts the cast are as jovial and lighthearted as ever. Remarkably so for people who are about to lose their jobs.    Perhaps they're just putting a brave face on things, and I know they approached the previous axing with a positive attitude. Maybe putting an upbeat face on things is a collective way of showing potential backers that there's still life in the show? Or is it possible that they already know the show has been saved, and we'll get an announcement next month when filming wraps and the show 'rests'?   Does any of that make sense?!
    • A very good week for male eye candy on GH. New Michael is beautiful, Curtis's arms looked great in that polo shirt, Cody looks even more handsome with his new haircut AND we got Marco in swim shorts rocking his lovely bod and chest fur.

    • Yeah when Jamey Giddens did breakdowns for DAYS, he would sometimes state in tweets that specific things were his idea that he had pitched to Ron.
    • I don't, since they've clearly incorporated them into Tomas' storyline, and I happen to like his tattoos, but his jackets not fitting doesn't mean they're trying to cover his tattoos. The clothing overall isn't the issue; it's the fit. And I expect(ed) more from Jeresa Featherstone and her team. Very disappointed. He's the only male, overall, whose costume irritates me.
    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.
