Kanye is definitely going to try to siphon away some votes from Biden if he runs for president and that's why he made sure to "distance himself from Trump. Here's some of his quotes from his deranged interview:

 

That he believes “Planned Parenthoods have been placed inside cities by white supremacists to do the Devil’s work.

 

That he envisions a White House organizational model based on the secret country of Wakanda in Black Panther.

 

You know? Obama’s special. Trump’s special. We say Kanye West is special. America needs special people that lead. Bill Clinton? Special. Joe Biden’s not special.

 

I was threatened into being in one party. I was threatened as a celebrity into being in one party. I was threatened as a Black man into the Democratic party. And that’s what the Democrats are doing, emotionally, to my people. Threatening them to the point where this white man can tell a Black man if you don’t vote for me, you’re not Black.

And don't think for one single moment that Black people have forgotten about this, which is why he's being cussed for filth all over social media, which honestly, is the only place where Kanye is even receiving a modicum of discussion. The rest could care less.

Steve Bannon has already jumped in to praise this - which means the Republicans are obviously trying to sink it and overshadow any positive rollout (not that the media will give any). Apparently that old shitbag Navarro is fuming because he had an Executive Order along these lines drawn up for months and Kushner/Mnuchin blocked Trump from signing it.

 

If Trump loses, Kushner will likely be the key reason why.

You're right about it being quaint but it's what you have to say to win votes in the midwest. 

 

That said, I think that the COVID crisis has exposed some serious weaknesses with our supply chain and that going forward we need to look at how to bring some manufacturing back here. If Trump wasn't such a defective idiot he would've invoked the Defense Protection Act to produce everything from masks to hand sanitizer which would've been a great way to create jobs during this nightmare.

 

Also, I really want Joe to go back to his "basement." Seeing him out here doing events terrifies me.

Marceline is correct. Here in the Rust Belt of Ohio, a lot of people are still out of work and haven't truly recovered from 2008 and the shutdowns of auto manufacturers prior and since. If people feel like they have a rock solid job they can retire from, they're golden. I believe in this so heavily that I just completed one of Biden's surveys asking me about the key issues to win this state. Personally, I want to see him work on gun violence and systemic racism and climate change...but I also want him to win, and here that means jobs and the economy (stupid).

P.S. I don't see him winning Ohio this go-round, but I do know polls are showing we are a little less leaning R than we were two weeks ago. Within margin of error I believe.

Yet another Ohioan chiming in - and @marceline is completely right about the DPA. As a health care worker, I am angry about the lack of PPE - still!! I have been using the same N95 mask for two weeks now. God forbid Americans should dare disturb Rump while he awaits his tee time at Maralago. It's Nero fiddled while Rome burned all over again - or let them eat cake!! 

 

On a happier note, I just saw on the news that a group of people just painted a huge Black Lives Matter mural in NYC in front of Trump Tower...

    • Speaking of correcting dates, since you mentioned it above, why don't you go back to your Saturday post and edit it and replace your wording of "DAYS Ruth Buzzi 11-2-83"  with "DAYS Ruth Buzzi 11-1-83" and add a note that the video has the wrong date of 11/2/83 on it, and that the video is actually 11/1/83. 
    • If the show ever chooses to show any flashbacks of major Ted scenes, the Ted/Eva, Ted/Kat, and Ted/Nicole scenes would need to be re-filmed with nuTed. Since there have been hardly any Ted/Martin scenes with the CurrentTed, they have avoided the difficulty of doing recreated flashbacks with nuTed for scenes with Martin.  The only one would be Martin punching Ted after the anniversary reveal (unless there's something in the next few episodes). I agree with other posters that the fact that we barely saw CurrentTed and Martin interact, makes it less impactful to viewers to see Martin's outrage at the reveal. 
    • This makes me think of that famous quote from COOL HAND LUKE,  "What we've got here is failure to communicate." I did not bring up "apparently" to try to get across either truth or validity, but doubt. If I had been sure, I would have said something entirely different. But, I'm not trying to argue, I hear you & I will comply. Besides that, I will endeavor to word things differently. I am never against trying to improve. 
    • That’s been my main issue with his response. It didn’t feel that earned by what came before. Definitely needed to see more of the Richardsons as a full family unit prior to all of this.
    • Bingo! I thought the exact same thing. Martin's anger feels so out of place, because we've hardly seen him interact with his parents. Vernon and him have more of a father/son relationship and we've seen their dynamic more fully play out. While obviously Ted and Marton are father and son, it felt a bit empty because we haven't really seen them bond or truly connect in any scenes.
    • Leslie inferred over 20 years ago, so Eva and Kat are over 20 at least 
    • As it happens, 40 years ago this week, ABC and CBS revealed their 1985-86 fall schedules. NBC revealed theirs the week before. ABC's would end up changing. The original plan for Tuesdays was to have Diff'rent Strokes lead the night, with He's the Mayor at 8:30, followed by Who's the Boss at 9, Growing Pains at 9:30, and Moonlighting at 10. There was some surprise over MacGruder & Loud not getting renewed, but it was considered part of Aaron Spelling's declining influence at the network. Yes, Dynasty was still a hit (for a while longer), but Aaron's shows steadily took up less and less of the schedule. Fall 1984: Seven hours, five of which were new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, Glitter, Matt Houston, T.J. Hooker, The Love Boat, Finder of Lost Loves; MacGruder & Loud aired at midseason, by which time Glitter was gone.). Fall 1985: Five hours, two of which were new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, The Colbys, Hollywood Beat, The Love Boat). Fall 1986: Three-and-a-half hours, a half-hour of which was new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, The Colbys, Life With Lucy). Fall 1987: Two hours, none of which was new programming (Dynasty and Hotel; HeartBeat premiered at midseason). Fall-winter 1988: Two hours, none of which was new programming (Dynasty and HeartBeat). This led to Variety's infamous shady headline in spring 1989: "Aaron's Dynasty Over"
    • I hope for a multi-year renewal, too! This is the only show I've been excited to see the next episode in forever. Considering their demos are quite decent. the initial episodes showed there is still an interest in daytime, and it has helped to boost the rest of the soap line up at times, it should be around for a while.
