Senator Susan Collins, Republican of Maine, said in a statement that Gaetz ‘has put country first’ by withdrawing, adding that it was ‘the best decision that Mr. Gaetz could have made.’”

and the best decision for her. she may have talked a good game, but push come to shove, would she have actually voted against him? we’ll never know and i’m sure she’s heaving a huge sign of relief.

I really haven't tbh. So I find it eye-rolling that the news media is making such a show of each and every appointment he makes. They couldn't even get all the news out there pre-election or focus on actual issues, but we need to know every time The Orange One appoints a new idiot?

 

Just a circus and they should have ashamed.

Probably. There was a time, somewhere around 2015 when I would have considered this immoral. Now, I don't care. After everything Biden has been through and everything Trump has done (including pardoning Ivanka's father in law) I just can't get upset about it. Norms have been shattered and will continue to be shattered for the foreseeable future.

Frankly, when I read that Joe Biden had pardoned his son, I cackled.  Like you said, @Juliajms, there was a time when I might have questioned his actions.  Now, however, I'm just praying Biden can keep this going until Inauguration Day.  (Go 'head, Joe, forgive all student debts on your way out, lol!)

Glad Joe pardoned Hunter as his trial was a political hatchet job. If he were Hunter Jones, he would have just paid a fine and called it a day.

And, as pointed out, all the screeching on the right over this turns to radio silence as their cult leader pardons actual scummy criminals. Let 'em cope.

    • But how is it "apparent" that she signed a new 3-year contract? Your wording had a voice of authority -- as if you knew it was true. A better way to post about it? Say you read online that she signed a new contract, but have no idea if that's true.
    • This interview actually reminds me a bit of Kim Zimmer’s press during the infamous clone storyline on Guiding Light, or Deidre Hall during the possession story on Days. All three were seasoned daytime veterans who made it clear they valued airtime for their characters, not just being part of a romantic pairing. It seems that idea was part of the pitch behind these bigger-than-life plots. They all took big swings in their performances. When I read Kim Zimmer’s memoir, I thought she captured it best — she wanted to be respected for being willing to take those risks. To paraphrase her, she knew it was ridiculous for Reva to think she was pregnant after menopause, but she still threw herself into those scenes and made them real. That’s what really struck me about Victoria Wyndham’s interview too. She responded like a real person. It felt like she was telling Michael Logan that she knew Justine — and a geriatric pregnancy with twins — was totally preposterous, but that she still deserved credit for trying to keep the show alive and entertain the audience. And honestly, I think that's more than fair. Logan is looking for a reductive answer for who is to blame.  And, she's telling him to accept that they were all well-meaning.  Which is not a defense of bad storytelling.  But, I understand that she's frustrated because she interpreted Logan's critique as a lack of commitment, and she wants him to know that she was committed! (maybe not for the best, but committed).
    • Fine, you only had to say so. It's not a problem to me NOT to post this. I have no idea what this means. 
    • Oh, really? I think we're really getting close.  What does "apparently" mean to you? To me, it means that this is something I think has happened but not something I absolutely positively know to have happened. When I use a word like "apparently" as I have here, I am doing so by intent. Can you think of a better way to communicate that?
    • Wow...I was not expecting a montage.   I know SilkPress did not!!! Poor Eva.  Lol. Funnily enough I missed that.     
    • For the record, VW thought having the twins at their ages was absurd & who wanted that story, was some group of fans, who wanted her & Carl to have a chance at having children together. Not any fans that I knew of, but supposedly they existed. 
    • Brandon Tartikoff saved NBC primetime. Brandon Stoddard got ABC Tuesday to rebound and put an end to the Aaron Spelling hit factory.
    • Awwwww Brad. I know I shouldn't, but I feel bad for him

      And yeah, agreed that Dante having animosity towards Gio is very forced and contrived. And it also has me concerned that it means the reveal won't be happening anytime soon.
    • God, I love that woman. Another amazing interview!!
    • We can only guestimate based on other characters. Chelsea was said to be 23 in the first episodee and based on Marttin wanting to run for President in the next election, he's about 30/31. Eva and and Kat are somewhere between that  so Id say closer to 25 or 26
