Leonardo Dicaprio endorsed Kamala Harris?

Adam McKay and David Sirota must be breaking walls.

Trump and the walking around to music - I get the feeling someone (maybe in UFC or WWE) told him this will look atmosphere and play well to the young men his team have spent so much time bringing in. I wish I could say it doesn't work but he seems to be doing better and better the more he decays.

President Biden demonstrated the courage of his convictions to stand up and speak a direct, genuine and heartfelt apology on behalf of the government to the victims of those forced to live at those boarding schools constructed for Native American children. It needed to be said and Biden declared that the apology was overdue. This is what leadership looks like and needs to continue to be going forward.

Those of us who have been paying attention to Harris’ work over several years are already aware of these initiatives but it is somewhat unfortunate that she feels as if she cannot (or perhaps was advised not to) speak about her work in these areas, especially seeing as it has yielded some genuine and substantial benefits to many in need.

A few articles from a pollster blaming Harris' decline on her not focusing enough on the economy and not taking Trump's immigration attacks seriously enough until it was too late. I feel like so many people just automatically support Trump based on the economy (even when polls have her with an edge on the issue she is still slipping in those same polls) and they tune out any attempts by the campaign to focus on the issue. So does the media. But at least this helps me understand the struggles more, whatever cold comfort that is.

I don't buy it at all. I just don't adopt these contrarian takes as gospel; I think most of them are bullshit from dirtbag dead-enders or libertarians with agendas, and I think they prey on the anxious. I also fundamentally disagree with their takes on the campaign and the race.

This race was always going to tighten. But because these Twitter randos with their own political air want to skew that around their agenda, they claim it's because Harris did X or Y. That's silliness.

I have my doubts, but I just appreciate seeing a perspective beyond "she isn't hating trans people enough" "she didn't bash Biden enough," or "she is a genocider." I do feel like the way the debate has been framed in recent months did give Trump an opening. I blame a lot of that on the media, of course. 

Hopefully she can still somehow win.

    • I think someone said it did exist, but I can't remember.
    • The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits.
