I see Trump has done what I was waiting for him to do... he has started to show his truest colors and the mask slipped so hard, now everyone is reminded of the horror story he is offering the world. He is a true testament that in the end... evil bites it's own head.

I agree with this. Kamala was within 2 points of Trump in PA in a GOP internal poll in the first days of the switch, and Politico is trying to give them the sunny side of life.

 

 

And now, in news to no one:

I'll admit the shot of Joe and Kamala approaching the plane on the tarmac in the night (in the previous post) gave me chills. The past, present and future all in one shot.

The article (in spite of not being all that well written) was poignant in seeing how much Biden was trying to help other people even as he was being torn apart by many in his party and facing the end of his career. This is such a cynical country, but Biden has never been guilty of the same. So many responses to this have just been focusing on Republicans and Trump saying that this somehow "proves" Putin is afraid of Trump or trying to gin up outrage over an out of context clip over Kamala Harris chiding people for saying Merry Christmas. Biden knew he'd get nothing in return for his actions, but he did it anyway because it was the right thing to do. In a country full of so many people who worship Trump and would let everyone else burn, I should appreciate that while I can.

Exactly.  Here we all were, kvetching about how Joe Biden was too old and too feeble to keep going.  Meanwhile, Grandpa was working BTS, orchestrating the biggest and most important prisoner swap since the Cold War.  If that's what you call feeble...!

We oughta be ashamed of ourselves for giving him no choice but to drop out of the race.

I like President Biden’s response to some journalist’s comments that TFG claimed he could have rescued the hostages without conceding anything. Biden: “Then he should have done it when he was president!

We know that many of the media, well-connected and wealthy people who have influence in the political realm are not embarrassed by their machinations over the last several months (years likely) but they really should be. Many in the media were sour because they couldn’t get gossip and intrigue the way they did with TFG, so they were bitter and reported every conceivable hint of vulnerability in the White House, while reporting on TFG as if he were some ‘80s action figure.

You don’t need an action figure or action hero to be an effective Commander in Chief or president.

I loved that moment, too.  Just as I loved Biden "joking" with the reporter that they're stuck with him 'til November.  (He wasn't kiddin', folks!). After all that he's been subjected to, he might as well read people for filth on his way out!

    • 6-3   I almost let my system just delete the episode just like with B&B. I am now questioning if I should have. lol.   I just can't believe that Cole sat there and started to get sick and then only Victoria off and ran off and everyone basically went back to what they were doing at Nikki's birthday party. Cole was too much of a vet character for that. And now story back off-screen.   I did chuckle at how much Victor pay Kyle dust. And now Kyle with this deal and a promise to leave town if he hurts Claire. smh. As if Victor isn't going to make that happen.   It was lovely to see Ashley. And actually (misdressed and all) Abby.    And I liked Claire's dress. 
    • Oh. That. I pretend that never happened.

      I did think of another possibility. Did India ever sleep with Alan? They kind of toyed with pairing them up, but I'm not sure they ever became lovers.
    • While I do love the chaotic energy that is Kat vs Lesile, it is a bit extra. Sheltered, virginal Kat who plays it safe from her man to her wardrobe understands that Leslie is dangerous, but she's out here showing up everywhere and anywhere that Lesile is to be found and actively going to places where she is alone? I mean Kat doesn't even act a little afraid or intimidated by Leslie. Meanwhile, big Ole Derek out here begging for his and Ashley's life to Jacob.  As for Dani, I didn't see it that way. Dani and Bill were together for 30 years and shared a family. I believe there was real love there at one point. Bill is still an ass and Dani is still crazy, but realizing she may lose him and her daughter's may lose their dad definitely struck a chord.
    • Funny I randomly saw Kami’s lengthy post about the 44th anniversary of the Walton’s finale last week pop up in my news feed on Facebook. A few inaccuracies to her post but overall it was pretty insightful and interesting to read. 
    • Well, depending on rewrites...Jennifer Richards potentially slept with Brandon and Alan. It does feel like we're forgetting someone, but then again, maybe I'm confusing that with brothers, which would include a lot more.
    • Maybe it’s me, and the fact that RC isn’t at the helm, but since Cwikly and Ford have taken over I’ve noticed the show doing a lot of things differently directing wise, and since the storyline of John’s demise began, the show has been using different scores, and dare I say better ones than this time last year. It’s interesting and I wonder if the any of it is Noel Maxam’s influence before being promoted.
    • I think Nicole is about to figure out what's going on between Andre and Dani.
    • @Efulton thank you. I don't know how I missed it or didn't recall it.  I'll blame amnesia . Anyway @Errol Could the newer thread be merged to the existing? Thanks in advance.
    • I just finished watching and I have to admit, not once did I find myself wondering who wasn't there. Quick question for anyone who followed this better than I did: was it only Andrew who rescued Cat and John from Clyde, or was Shane involved too? The reactions during their scenes today felt a little off to me. I know it was meant to be vague, but I didn't find it strange that they already knew each other.  
    • Yeah, financially, Luna is in better shape than Deacon and Sheila.   -- Scott Clifton must have decided to chew the scenery in every scene of this "Liam is Dying" storyline. Yikes.
