The Wisconsin Harris/Walz event was PACKED.

The Detroit event, now streaming, is ALSO packed.

And I noticed the complete difference in character between the two campaigns, highlighted at Wisconsin. Walz was being his usual awesome self, highlighting policy/accomplishments, etc.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd yelled, "Help!" He immediately stopped, and looked like he sorely wanted to leave the podium and go assist. His eyes never left the spot of the person in jeopardy, and he only went back on message once he was certain the person was okay and had water in the heat.

Contrast this to Trump rally-goers at an event that ended up collapsing in the heat, and Trump didn't give one s-h-i-t, just saying how he wanted their votes.

Decency versus depravity.

All JDV had to say was, "What makes me happy?  My wife and my kids."  Five words.  Just five [!@#$%^&*] words, and he couldn't say it.  What. A. Douche.

I'm sure the GOP will claim that that episode with the heat-exhausted rallygoer was staged.  To which, *I* say, "Prove to us that Trump's assassination attempt wasn't!"

I think I read somewhere that his campaign team has closed most of their field offices?  A sure sign that Team Trump is broke.  PLUS, I'm not so sure that his staying home isn't related to what are clearly signs of mental/psychological and cognitive decline.

I haven't had much to do these days, so I've been checking out social media more (I know, lol) and I see there's one account on X called "Anonymous" that's predicting that Trump will drop out.  I don't think he will - he's much too narcissistic - but I really wish he would, lol.

I mean, the shooter appears legit (and per investigation was apparently angling to shoot any candidate he could get to first, not just Trump) but damn if the idea that it was rigged wasn't my first or second thought.

I don't know how Trump could be broke already given the massive money Thiel, etc. have been pumping in lately, but if anyone could pull it off it's his team.

First of all, never admit to the press that you're basically an alcoholic.  Second, Vance's statement, challenging Harris to a debate but NOT Walz (and hiding behind pretty flimsy excuses), is a clear signal that either 1) Vance is too scared to debate with Walz and thinks he has a better shot at debating with Harris (which would make no sense to do, since he's not running for president "...or is he?") OR 2) Trump himself is not up to debating anyone, let alone his challenger for the presidency.

Of course, both things could be true as well.

At the risk of sounding like a "Maury" guest who's desperate to prove Trayquon is little Shamayla's father: look at his ear!  Does that look like an ear that was grazed by a bullet or by shrapnel?  I realize some people heal quicker than others, but that quick with no residual scars?  I don't think so.

Kamala shuts down some Palestine protestors at her latest event doing a "we won't vote for genocide" chat. The very online far left will squeal about this, but they're wrong. She did this same thing to Pence four years ago in their debate, and she's right to have zero tolerance for people chanting about genocide in the middle of her rally, especially after she took a harder line than Biden about Netanyahu and Israel like a week ago.

 

I agree that ear is weird.

I've seen that look and heard that tone so many times from my own mother (a Black woman).  All she needed to do was quote Millie Jackson - "Go! Follow your rainbow!" - and I would've been GONE.

    • 6-3   I almost let my system just delete the episode just like with B&B. I am now questioning if I should have. lol.   I just can't believe that Cole sat there and started to get sick and then only Victoria off and ran off and everyone basically went back to what they were doing at Nikki's birthday party. Cole was too much of a vet character for that. And now story back off-screen.   I did chuckle at how much Victor pay Kyle dust. And now Kyle with this deal and a promise to leave town if he hurts Claire. smh. As if Victor isn't going to make that happen.   It was lovely to see Ashley. And actually (misdressed and all) Abby.    And I liked Claire's dress. 
    • Oh. That. I pretend that never happened.

      I did think of another possibility. Did India ever sleep with Alan? They kind of toyed with pairing them up, but I'm not sure they ever became lovers.
    • While I do love the chaotic energy that is Kat vs Lesile, it is a bit extra. Sheltered, virginal Kat who plays it safe from her man to her wardrobe understands that Leslie is dangerous, but she's out here showing up everywhere and anywhere that Lesile is to be found and actively going to places where she is alone? I mean Kat doesn't even act a little afraid or intimidated by Leslie. Meanwhile, big Ole Derek out here begging for his and Ashley's life to Jacob.  As for Dani, I didn't see it that way. Dani and Bill were together for 30 years and shared a family. I believe there was real love there at one point. Bill is still an ass and Dani is still crazy, but realizing she may lose him and her daughter's may lose their dad definitely struck a chord.
    • Funny I randomly saw Kami’s lengthy post about the 44th anniversary of the Walton’s finale last week pop up in my news feed on Facebook. A few inaccuracies to her post but overall it was pretty insightful and interesting to read. 
    • Well, depending on rewrites...Jennifer Richards potentially slept with Brandon and Alan. It does feel like we're forgetting someone, but then again, maybe I'm confusing that with brothers, which would include a lot more.
    • Maybe it’s me, and the fact that RC isn’t at the helm, but since Cwikly and Ford have taken over I’ve noticed the show doing a lot of things differently directing wise, and since the storyline of John’s demise began, the show has been using different scores, and dare I say better ones than this time last year. It’s interesting and I wonder if the any of it is Noel Maxam’s influence before being promoted.
    • I think Nicole is about to figure out what's going on between Andre and Dani.
    • @Efulton thank you. I don't know how I missed it or didn't recall it.  I'll blame amnesia . Anyway @Errol Could the newer thread be merged to the existing? Thanks in advance.
    • I just finished watching and I have to admit, not once did I find myself wondering who wasn't there. Quick question for anyone who followed this better than I did: was it only Andrew who rescued Cat and John from Clyde, or was Shane involved too? The reactions during their scenes today felt a little off to me. I know it was meant to be vague, but I didn't find it strange that they already knew each other.  
    • Yeah, financially, Luna is in better shape than Deacon and Sheila.   -- Scott Clifton must have decided to chew the scenery in every scene of this "Liam is Dying" storyline. Yikes.
