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').

    • 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.
