I would much rather Marianne Williamson be president than anyone else in the current field (even if it's unlikely she'll win).  She seems as decent as Jimmy Carter, the last decent president the USA had.  I'm glad she declared early and has a campaign engaging young voters (who delivered Biden his presidency, but he's done basically nothing for them so far).  These politicians trying to ban TikTok instead of dealing with real problems (gun violence, income inequality, homelessness, climate change, unaffordable healthcare, child care, elder care, etc.) are the real charlatans.

More propaganda from CBS after their MTG puff piece. I think the media and their money men are unnerved that all the talking points about sainted moms and dads fighting for their kids has gotten any pushback (it wouldn't have in the '90s, the decade much of the media is still in), so we're doubling down now. Shameful. Please boycott network and cable news.

He'll go somewhere. He founded or co-founded Daily Caller, a very influential hate machine. He can go back there. He can probably write his own ticket. I'm just shocked he, as bootlicker Stetler tweeted, didn't get to say goodbye on his own terms. He was, along with Greg Gutfeld, their biggest draw, by far. I wonder just how frightened the Faux News executives are about this upcoming lawsuit and what else is to come.

If they wind up as co-hosts on Teatime with Lemon & Tucker, I'm not going to watch that either.

       about it I think Jan is a fine supporting part for a solid daytime vet (probably someone from the P&G soaps), as opposed to someone from the production location who is clearly cheaper. Which seems to govern some casting. I get the rationale, but I would start going through the ATWT/GL, etc. rolodex myself.
    • I dont mind Jan. She's good in the minor capacity she is used. 
    • tbqh I don't care about Jan, I don't care about Ashley and I think Jon Lindstrom as Joey is an acquired taste. Jon is a great actor but certain things are in his zone and then some are not. Some days I find Joey credible and compelling, but the stuff with him hanging around the Golden Corral, grumbling about Doug and bitching at Randy is not amazing. If he had material on par with what MVJ wrote for Ryan/Kevin on GH back in the day it'd be a different story. I do think he has real chemistry with Vanessa, which is in large part due to MVJ clearly molding that character (and hiring an appropriate actor) in the Lucy Coe vein when she reinvented Lucy in the '90s as well. But I am not here to spend 6+ months watching Jon glower a lot (which is what he's doing half the time to carry weak story) and make more vague dire pronouncements while Jen Jacob gets flustered and weepy over "Daddy" or whatever would come of that storyline. Putting them together sounds like a recipe for doom to me. But I may be in the minority on that.
    • I know this will never happen. But... Halle Berry as Dani Dupree(BTG). She would rock this role, it's in her wheelhouse.
    • When I see how bad the Ashley/Derek scenes are, I know there must be a larger purpose and Joey being her father is the thing that makes the most sense.  My take on it is that Ashley knows Joey is her father but doesn't know Joey. Maybe he was there when she was a child or just not around at all but I believe Jan when she says she didn't lie to her daughter about who her father was. Maybe she left him when she discovered his dangerous lifestyle.  I do think they could really jump start the character of Ashley if they hurry and do this. Jan is a great character and her scenes with Ashley have been helpful. This would further integrate Ashley into the canvas and give her something dramatic to do. With her working at the hospital along with Doug, it could lead to complications if she learns Doug is involved with her father. I just need is sooner rather than later because Derek is tanking her character. I need a distraction.

    • The stories are awful. I'm not enjoying any of them. All I'm left with is Sally in a plastic dress.
