Thanks, @Faulkner.Naturally she is making it all about what a victim she is, as she always does. She is just a talentless, deeply destructive hack. Yet she is the face of who so many today want us to prioritize and use as an example of why "the left" and "cancel culture" is more damaging than Trump.

 

One of her other fellow hacks was involved in this hilarious act of aggressive wankery on her behalf.

I've read Sullivan off and on from the "milky loads" days (NSFW NSFW....and...NSFW) and he has really gone off the deep end recently, winking and nodding at his old racist pseudo-science past while not endlessly obsessing over the evils of transgender activists, college campuses, and cancel culture. There are so many absolutely hysterical journalists who take up too much time and discourse and control too much of our narrative. They have given Trump and the GOP so many talking points this past month, and continue to do so. Awful Caitlin Flanagan actually claimed that Weiss quitting her job is "the biggest news story in years." She really did!

 

If Trump gets reelected, these hacks are a big reason why. I wish they would just drop their endless posturing and own up to how they love and need him. They are sick in the head.

Just saw a headline that Hollywood continues to purchase ad buys on Facebook despite many others boycotting the social media platform, which only confirms what I've been trying to say for years...Hollywood is not actually liberal. Most writers and many actors working in Hollywood do lean liberal, but the studio executives and heads of the companies like studios and talent agencies, etc. are actually conservatives.  When you look at their decisions, their actions, how they actually operate beneath the surface of public statements from actors and writers, you will realize that. Why people continue to believe otherwise is beyond me.

The media have gotten their marching orders (again) - running pieces on a man who once wore a wire for an FBI investigation against Biden, positive pieces on Trump's mask tweet (no mention of the "Chinese virus" portion, naturally), and the above. They will do anything to help him win. 

 

In other news, the Lincoln Project's razor-sharp attack ads against Trump and the GOP are leading to serious heartburn, leading to hit pieces from the grift circuit. Steve Schmidt responds, forcefully, and reveals some details of what a sorry state National Review is in.

I am no big Reagan fan and have no illusions about these people and how they'll turn if we win, but the ad the Republican Voters Against Trump cut juxtaposing his "shining city on the hill" speech with footage of 2020 was one of the best and most brutal political ads I've ever seen.

    • It sure was!  With respect, how does that make sense?  These men are young, that seems of touch in 2025. 
    • I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

    • I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.
    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.  
    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
