Oh my please don't even put Walz in the same category as Vance, who seems to be universally hated.  I can't imagine Walz wearing eyeliner either or admiring a cretin like Peter Thiel also.  Vance the VP candidate was created in a lab run by billionaires which is the main reason he is such an awful human being. Everything rotten in the billionaire class is exhibited by Vance on a daily basis.

Walz isn't exaggerating his record, either.

Meanwhile:

Not surprised Gold is adopting the network framing of pushing the Harris campaign to 'let it go' re: mics.

More on this:

 

And now:

In other news - few weeks ago Last night Martha Byrne (Lily ATWT) had a social melt-down (on a Saturday Night no less) where she wrote post after post on "X" (formerly Twitter)  about how terrible Kamala Harris/Tim Waltz is, how the GOP has been there for her, asking "What LGTBQ rights did Trump take away?", and telling people how Tulsi Gabbard was thrown under the bus by Kamala Harris

She lost a few fans last night after her "X" rant - on a Saturday Night of all nights!

So, as we are well aware, Worm Jr. dropped out of the race for POTUS to align with fellow loon, DonOLD Dump, and he has been trying - and basically failing - to get his name removed from ballots.

Yet...my newspaper has a front-page story where Worm Boy is trying to get back ON the NY ballot. The article even wonders why, since he has dropped out! Another grift? Insanity? Hmm.

I think the plan was to get him off swing state ballots and have him stay on in blue or red states. Some of his cultists were hoping to get some Trump supporters in those states to support him and take electoral votes from Harris. 

It's very kind of her to tell queer people they aren't going to be losing anything. 

@Vee Thanks for all of your articles and videos. I have to admit I don't love the video of JaunDiced being booed because it will probably make a lot of the press and the true believers praise him as noble and going into enemy territory, wah wah wah, but it's still funny to watch.

Nate Silver is still giving Trump the edge, because of PA polling and Harris not getting a convention bounce (which doesn't even exist in recent years). I do think it's going to be very tight, and Trump has the media and rigged election boards on his side, but you can see just how desperate he is based on these types of stunts. And of course the "pro life" movement is mostly staying quiet, and all the media figures who excoriate Harris for flip flopping are eating this BS from him up.

    • I don't think they had any idea who he was this time last year. I think they were keeping their options very open. Same with totally dropping the Trina romance that was spoiled for him in the mags once FV clearly took a shine to him. Frank's priorities are bright and blazing in one color. I do think Gio and Emma seem to have worked out given that she is very dry and sarcastic and he is like a hot golden retriever, but I'd still play the field or explore quads with both with very different people - Emma with a scheming young man (of color), Gio with possibly Trina or someone else, or even a boy. Then maybe put them back together, who knows. But of course none that will happen.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime. 
    • Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
