Arnold has come a long way since his checkered to say the least "Governator" days and past indiscretions, and he has been vocal about Trump and about the Nazis, not to mention COVID, since Day 1.

 

As for Manchin, he was on this morning and basically hemmed and hawed on whether he'd go for 2K checks and DC and Puerto Rico statehood. The only things he said a flat no to were an assault weapons ban and killing the filibuster. With Manchin, that's a good start.

Antonio Sabàto Jr. had been tweeting all kinds of madness. Someone had posted a screencap of some of his stuff last week, so I went into his account to look around.

 

It was chaos and kind of scary from what I saw - just reading back to mid-December. I didn't have the stomach to read back further. There were very frequent tweets insisting that Trump won the election.  He said COVID was just another flu and no big deal.  He said masks were bad. And he said he would *never* get a COVID vaccine and he would never allow his loved ones to get one.  Etc etc etc.

There was one tweet in which he said in Italian that Fauci is a communist @ss-hole.

It was really horrible to read - the tone, the images; and I was sorry I checked.
 

Then on January 4th he tweeted that his father (Antonio Sabàto Sr.) was hospitalized with COVID and needed prayers.

 

That was startling because it followed after a tweet he had made just hours before about how wearing masks were bad.

 

I didn't check his account after that but, but I recently read that his father passed away on January 6th.

Sometime in the last day or two, he deleted his account, because when I checked it yesterday, it came up as saying "this account does not exist".

 

After it was discussed here on SON upthread, I see now that Sabàto Jr.  reopened his twitter account, with only two tweets. One tweet was a request to follow his "conservative" film company. The other tweet is an image implying that Twitter is communist - indicating that he's upset that Twitter suspended Trump.

 

 

 

 

I think you must have looked at it right after he reopened his twitter account.  Now he has a lot of followers so there must have been a slight delay in updating the display of his account after he reopened it.

They can kiss my Black ass as well.  We've said all along that this would happen, and it did.  But, the GOP just dismissed us as "snowflakes."  They need to own this.  They need to be held accountable for it.  Then, MAYBE we can talk about unity and healing.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if more stories like these were to surface in the days, weeks and months to come.  It's scary when you think just how close this came to being a mass slaughter.  That's why I say the right and far-right can shove it with their talk of needing unity.  If they want unity, then they're going to have to do the work.

Thank you. Same thing for women who are domestic and/or sexual abuse survivors. T**** is the enraged, deranged ex who screams, breaks things and declares if he doesn't get what he wants - no one will have it. The Capitol Building feels tainted to me now. I am terrified of not knowing what will happen between now and January 20th. I don't feel safe.  

 

Here are a few chillingly accurate articles I found that illustrate my point:

    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?
