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.

    • 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.

      Me when someone asks me to be proper and demure. 
    • This is just a guess but I feel like the fact that they keep mentioning her dead husband is for a reason. We know Martin has a secret that likely involved someone dying. Martin's victim could be Alan which Leslie/Dana either knows about or finds out and she uses that to blackmail the family into letting her crimes slide.  
    • Just thinking how the Ruth/Leticia guest spot really cemented how Days had changed. Stunt casting with a campy/comedy character in a 'wacky' storyline was something that a few years previously would have been completely out of place on Days (and most other soaps for that matter).
    • I am interested to see how they handle Leslie/Dana down the road. If she continues in this path, it would be unrealistic to have her around. Like other shows have done this with a 'villian' character and ended up with people looking stupid putting up with someone they detest. Another thought-could they be building up to a murder story? Maybe Les/Dan will be left in a coma and we will have a whodunit with several characters as suspect. It would also be a chance to redeem her I wonder how long the show will go w/o resorting to soap cliche stories-twins,switched at birth, murder mystery, long lost child etc
    • Yeah, Martin really did make me laugh when him and Smitty jumped up to drag Leslie out. I am interested in seeing how this fallout will impact his storyline as well. Especially since he is so protective regarding his family/family's image. I am interested in seeing how he will interact with Eva for the time being, they did have a warmer interaction earlier on once they met. But he seems to have doubts about her possibly being Ted's right now. I wonder how long it might take for him to come around with her. I could see the younger generation warming up to her quicker than the older ones. Though of course I think there will be anger/tension for a while regarding the reveal and her role in it. Perhaps Naomi/Chelsea will ease up on Eva first then eventually Martin/Kat might down the line. I really do love Nicole. I'm glad that DD is playing her. She really is the heart of the family and also agree the show. She is so easy to root for and I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out for her. I am enjoying the development of most of the characters on this show. I enjoy most of them including Bill with his trifling self lol. I do feel that Bill's love for his daughters is genuine and that gives him some depth. A few of the characters I don't care for that much (like Bill, Ashley, Vanessa). I wasn't too big on Andre at first, but I am warming up more to him as the actor is settling into the role. I like most of the characters on this show. Also, I am interested in seeing what happens if Eva indeed goes and lives with the new doctor that was introduced. I could see this adding another layer to her story, maybe she will become more vixen-ish, on what type of relationship they end up having. And/or maybe she will end up becoming more hardened as she deals with being an outcast, especially if she falls out with Leslie as well. I think that AM will do a good job of showcasing the different layers of this character as she deals with the fallout of the affair/paternity reveal.

      Got another sad news from the Bahamian community (not a celebrity)  https://www.instagram.com/p/DJMSrYCgyes/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Former Bahamian Senate President J Henry Bostwick, Husband of former 1st Bahamian Female Cabinet Minister Dame Janet Bostwick is dead yesterday on his 86th birthday.    Thanks and for those who've aren't familiar with the talk shows in The Bahamas on this thread here, his talk show named The Freedom March with Dr Rodney Moncur that airs on ILTV and The Beat 103.5 FM Nassau every weekday afternoons. IIRC, he suffered a illness before he died.  Here's the link for his final taping of the show before his death: https://ewnews.com/this-is-powerful-rodney-moncurs-final-sign-off/
    • (video, sound up) https://www.instagram.com/p/DIopBYDOGwy/ April 19, 2025 theonlydaphneeduplaix I’m not a fan of running. I’m not a fan of biking. So instead, I do what I love to get me revved up!!! . What that 20 minute warm up always looks like for me. What do you love that gets your body moving? LET’S GO!!!!!!! #DanceItOut #NoExcuses #FitOverFourty #TakeYourBodyBack #FindWhatGetsYouMoving     .           .
    • One thing I thought about is if Hayley will have a reaction to Bill threatening to kidnap and sell a baby. That's another level of viciousness and with her just having thought she was pregnant it might make her feel some type of way.
