This just sums it all up.  My mind just cannot accept this chaotic reality. It shouldn't seem that surprising since we've seen many societies melt down in a similar way throughout history (Germany, China, Cambodia, USSR the list goes on and on just in the last century).

 

Still, so many people are going along with all the lies and insanity, I just don't understand it. I get that racism, greed, and religion are behind a lot of it, but still to just deny objective reality and the law to the extent that some of these Republicans are doing is just mind blowing to me.

Speaking of Moore, it looks like Jeff Sessions is running for his old Senate seat.

"stunning comeback" mentions tell you who the media already is rooting for, no surprise there. Doug Jones has done what he wanted with these two years, rather than worrying too much about triangulating, so I have to respect that, especially when I remember how many jeered him before the fact and insisted he would just be a Republican.

 

I saw that Bill Gates can't even say he would support Elizabeth Warren over Trump. The attacks against her, on all sides, have ramped up heavily in the last few weeks. It's interesting to me that these attacks have not been thrown at Bernie. I'm guessing because many rich people know deep down he doesn't mean what he says and is just conning his followers. 

 

(I do think her decision to call Biden a Republican was cheap and needless, and I can't get upset when he insults her in response) 

 

I also saw that a dumbass senator from Louisiana went to one of Trump's hate rallies and went on about how much Nancy Pelosi "sucks." This senator being one that the media likes to go to for quotes and pass off as a heavyweight. The amount of support toothless wastes of space like this get for going into the gutter makes me sick. 

 

Speaking of sickness, Trump looked like a dehydrated Butterball. All the bile inside him has truly taken him over.

It might. If he pursues this until the end, it will end up being decided by members of the General Assembly which is made up entirely of Republicans. Let's be honest, they are going to try like hell steal this election and it could work.

I still have no idea why he is running, but he reminds me of Schultz who thought being a billionaire qualifies him to be president and they can buy their way in. Even if he doesn't step out, he's going to get challenged in the next debate and he should.

 

On a positive note regarding Kamala Harris this is kind of a big endorsement.

And this is kind of a big deal in Nevada

I am not counting her out yet.

Ok now why is Bloomberg entering the race.. These people have all lost confidence in Biden I guess but Bloomberg ain't going to get the black vote.

If a billionaire is going to run with limited experience(Well Bloomberg was mayor of NYC not South Bend) at least recruit Oprah for goodness sake.

Elizabeth Warren has these billionaires coming out of the woodwork to try to fight her on Medicare 4 All. 

 

I may have to tune out this campaign until the primaries begin in earnest in the wintertime, some of these discussions feel like they are wasting my time and energy.

A possible Bloomberg candidacy feels like a vanity run.

    • What AW stories do you think of as DOOLish? I mean AW, in a very positive way was KNOWN for its comedic elements. From Iris's maid, Vivian, to the naming of plants, to highjinks with Cass, Felicia, Wally & even Lily, plus remember Dee Evans & Tony the Tuna? In a way at one time DAYS had similar with Caliope & Eugene. 
    • Were those reasons to do with having younger children on set? Other shows seem to manage. The ageing up of the kids has been one of the mistakes the show has made.
    • I agree.  Lemay was supposed to start in early 88 and we saw some of the writing on the wall with character reference from the past.  Notably, the core families Frames, Cory, Matthews.  The stupid Reginald Love was wrapped up.  Not even a year later Mary was written out of the show along with Vince and the McKinnons who came and left .  The previous writers tried to introduce a new family that never aspired with the viewers.  1988 was focused on the 25th anniversary of show in 1989 and suspect why Lemay was asked to come back in 88.  Prior to 1988, the storylines were so DOOL stupid.
    • That's true. He may have ended up keeping her on a recurring basis, like Dr. Michaels on ATWT. I'm trying to remember if GL had a similar long-running therapist.
    • Oh in terms of ratings I think it would have been in a dicey place probably even before then. I mostly was just thinking of if the show could have carried on creatively. 
    • Even if by some miracle Knots Landing continued, 1994/95 it would have been killed by ER.

    • Assuming that Marland had been allowed to write the Carrie story the way he'd envisioned, Millette would've been involved in the story. And she might've played a role in Andy Norris' return (if the speculation on that had ever materialized, and Marland loved bringing back bad boys) But he doesn't seem interested in Sara's personal life. And the women of Springfield could only be analyzed so much.
    • This better be something, because as I said, so far it's just cliches and stereotypes -- the story we've heard a thousand times about the homeless person who doesn't want a home and prefers to live on the streets.
    • @rsclassicfanforever thank you very much for the recent uploads of season 13 containing some episodes that were skipped or glitchy on YouTube!  I had a look at 3172 though and there is no audio for most of it? Would you have a copy with complete audio? Fingers crossed! Thanks again!
