Exactly.  And why in God's name should the Democrats even LISTEN to the Republicans on how to proceed with the impeachment trial?  It seems like even the Democrats are forgetting that they control the House and Senate now.  Their gavels, their rules.  Sure, the GOP could vote not to convict Trump, but if the Democrats were wise, they would stick that in their back pockets for the next elections.

I'm assuming that she's looking for employment at Newsmax or OANN where the rest of conservative degenerates go to when they have burned their bridge over at Fox News and they are too toxic for the rest of mainstream netoworks.

First weekend of the new Biden administration, and of course, some funky [!@#$%^&*] had to go down (in Tacoma, WA).

 

Apparently, a Tacoma police officer, who was in pursuit of someone doing burnouts (?), ran down a bunch of pedestrians with their car, then sped on, basically committing a hit-and-run.

 

Here's a link to an article w/ video.  Warning: it's graphic.

Get ready, folks, 'cuz you KNOW the cries to defund/abolish the police are a-comin'.

I remember when they began running these walking the dog ads with Warnock - I think I saw one literally the day after the election. People pooh-poohed Warnock's chances then, but I thought those ads, showing him as just another American walking his little dog, were strong and would make an impact. I was more right than I knew.

She really did alienate all sides - she got on a high horse about her value to Faux News, underestimating just how much non-Faux viewers disliked her for years of racism (and also because she's cold, hard and phony). She belly flopped at NBC - from day one she was a failure. She tried to get mainstream attention again last year with the Tara Reade interview, which went nowhere fast. Now she is in the podcast grift game, whining with other bridge-burners like Glenn Greenwald or Bari Weiss about what victims they are.

Needless to say some are already trying to work up a lather over the dog not being his. I hope no one buys into that fake controversy.

 

When I saw the ads I flashed back to the Michael Steele puppy ad in Maryland's 2006  Senate race, which got a lot of praise but did nothing to help him in his run for the Senate. I'm glad it worked out better for Warnock (it helps that Warnock was a stronger candidate and the ads were not anywhere near as 'cute').

      Doctor Who

      By soapfan770 · Posted

      Thanks @Vee for the commentary.    I haven’t even watched this season yet after  I couldn’t get past the couple episodes last season…like it was too Disneyified for my taste, although I did think it was a least better than the Chibnall era (but so is a lot of things). I’ll probably go back and binge it now. Hoping this season ends on a high note. I did read the ratings are terrible. As it stands I’m beginning to feel like what long time DW fans felt with S26 in 1989.

      I also never understood Alex's friendship with Sonni or keeping the secret of Marah's paternity.  Not exactly heartbroken about Ms. Sally being ushered to the Hereafter.

        I'm sorry but I'm a glutton for punishment. Would love to see this woman OWNING the canvas. Telling off Leslie who tells her she's the head b!tch.

      And in case anyone is confused; Rusty was hired by HB to work undercover and infiltrate some gang sabotaging Lewis.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By kalbir · Posted

      40 years ago this month, the best and most pivotal television season of the 1980s came to an end. Here’s how the rookie breakout and the four soaps wrapped up the season. The Cosby Show – Cliff’s Birthday (season 1 finale, May 9): Clair and the children surprise Cliff by planning a birthday celebration around a Lena Horne concert. Dallas – Deliverance (May 10): Bobby seeks evidence to free Jenna. The Ewings go confidently to court. Mitch asks Lucy to move in. J.R. wants Sue Ellen hospitalized. Dynasty - The Heiress (May 8): Krystle learns Daniel is dead. King Galen courts Alexis. Amanda sees Michael with Elena. Sammy Jo learns Krystle will handle her money and is furious about the decision. Knots Landing – One Day in a Row (May 9): Ben aids in Karen's search for Val's babies. Mack replies to the governor's offer. Ruth uses Abby to break up Laura and Greg. Falcon Crest – Cold Comfort (May 10): Fugitive Lance desperately searches for Lorraine, who lies comatose in a San Francisco hospital. Robin returns with startling news.   Dallas – Swan Song (season 8 finale, May 17): Jenna's release from jail depresses Pam. Sue Ellen thinks she saw Dusty. Donna tells Ray about her pregnancy. Cliff consults an attorney about an annulment. Lucy and Mitch remarry. Sudden tragedy strikes Bobby. Dynasty – Royal Wedding (season 5 finale, May 15): Sammy Jo makes her roommate look like Krystle. Elena reassures Amanda about her upcoming marriage. Terrorists come for the royal wedding of Prince Michael and Amanda. Falcon Crest – Confessions (May 17): Melissa confesses to framing Lance. Pamela gives Maggie proof that Richard bribed Judge Holder. Connie reveals her love for Chase. Knots Landing – Vulnerable (May 16): Ruth wants Abby to break up Greg and Laura. Karen makes a breakthrough in her hunt for Val's babies. Joshua hampers Val's recovery. Knots Landing – The Long and Winding Road (season 6 finale, May 23): Abby fears being linked to the disappearance of Val's babies. Laura leaves Greg. The Fishers are determined to keep Val's babies. Falcon Crest – The Avenging Angel (season 4 finale, May 24): Lorraine dies. Angela throws a victory party. Cassandra's mother arrives. An explosion rips through Richard's house. 1984/85 was the season the primetime soaps pulled out all the stops to out-do each other and everything culminated in the spring. May 1985 was the zenith of primetime soaps as a genre.

      Another World Discussion Thread

      By Xanthe · Posted

      Charles Grant first appeared as Evan in September 1988. I was surprised to come across this item from December 1985, almost 3 years earlier: "Lots of action behind the scenes at Another World . . . I have bad news for fans of Christopher Holder (Peter Love). He will be leaving the show in the new year. I have heard that the producers are recasting the part and are also seeing actors for new roles. One of the main characters this spring will be Marlee [sic] and Victoria's father. The producers have been talking to Charles Flohe (John "Preacher" Emerson, Edge Of Night) about another new character to be featured. I will fill you in on the results as soon as I know." It seems obviously too early for anyone to have been planning to introduce Evan Frame. Based on the context he's not being considered as a recast of Peter. Maybe they were considering him for the character that turned out to be Neal, who started around the same time as Marcus Smythe as Peter?
