It has a look of crocodile tears about it. She needs to seem sympathetic. Well, I don't. People doing more ethical work and with more on the line frequently lose it all as well, for myriad reasons, oftentimes ones less fair, so... them's the breaks? Besides, chances are they'll be able to parlay the exposure into some other opportunity.

Appreciate the need not to widen the chasm, but Biden can, and should, act authoritatively and firmly without lowering or abasing himself. "Going high" doesn't seem to have been effective. He's never going to get the bonus points for showing decorum next to a lunatic from people who've deified that lunatic. Oh well; forget those people. Stop playing it their way.

I didn't know Jessica was one of Mariah's Lambs? On her Instagram, she recently posted a behind-the-scenes snap from the set of the "Shake It Off" video's bathtub scene. Very sweet.

I couldn't detest him more. "Organic," as if he's not actively encouraging the madness by expressing gushing gratitude and even going so far as to make cameo appearances. Surely we all understand it to translate to "I have plausible deniability if anything goes awry, but please keep it up!"

He's a saddo who'll try anything to put paid to his destiny, which is, of course, to be exposed as the loser he is.
I'm more annoyed by the policymakers and commentators who are humouring it, but I guess their objective is to get his indignant, delusional, "mistreated" supporters out there with bells on to vote in Georgia come January.
No depth too low.

His deserved reeling and unraveling would be amusing if it couldn't potentially have such dangerous effects. The hubris is like something out of a play.

The orb is still murky re: secret songwriter of the poison pen. I'm getting a name, a "Diane Warren," but it can't be right as who the fuck is that?
@runa, that's a good idea for an episode! "The girls have a ball trying gumbo for the first time and fracking on RuPaul's ranch during their pit stop in Wyoming."

I want her to divorce and then do a road trip reality TV show where she and Ivana have to drive from the east coast to California where Marla is waiting for them.
Latoya Jackson will meet up with them at certain key moments during the trip.
God, this is such a fantastic concept.
I'm gazing into my crystal ball and *SPOILERS* Kathy Hilton, La Toya's BFFTV (best friend for TV) appears in the penultimate episode, at which point the "dolls" are treated to a luxe stay in the Hiltons' new budget hotel in the polluted, hostile, largely unknown city of Sandra Bernhardino, CA, where they bond over their shared hatred of Omarosa and giddily look forward to the next morning's continental breakfast, which, in Sandra Bernhardino, is always a muffin.
Anyway, it's karaoke time on the eve of the big confrontation and the erstwhile Trump women are only familiar with obscure disco numbers from the old days in Europe, so the gals, none more desperately than La Toya, are squabbling over who'll get the chance to power-whine as Cerrone and who'll be stuck having to impersonate a demented, tone-deaf chipmunk with whom he once released a duet. Fun!
Old habits die hard, so Melania decides to walk the hotel, definitely not guided by a visceral, cellular, primitive desire to steal trinkets from other visitors' rooms, and suddenly she's - oops, oh no! - face-to-face with a Vitamin C-snorting Marla sauntering out of an anti-vaxxers' meeting that's just concluded in the hotel's conference room.
The network (TLC) cancels the series the day before its final episode is set to air, to the mild annoyance of at least three faithful viewers, but leave it to Ivana to graciously agree to an exclusive spot on The Talk to serve the hot tea on what actually went down that night. (Tragically, no one is any the wiser afterwards because no one is able to interpret her English.)
The crystals don't tell all, but what's clear about the mysterious person who penned the theme song is that she'll never win an Oscar and she was the victim of a terrible accident involving cheap hair dye and a jagged pair of shears. It's also known that she was paid with a bag of cat food and with the third and fifth digits of the new cell number of Lady Gaga, by whom, she explains, she was accidentally blocked (again) on all social media, which is only funny 'til it happens to you.
Everyone involved is incarcerated.

Embed won't happen, but here's a clip of Ana Navarro getting down and losing herself in the music to a FIRE mix of an old fire and brimstone classic. Another queen.

Those map images are something. Not that all roads lead to Madonna, but gentle reminder that it was in just such an absolute morass where and when she began her work to make all of our lives better. Queen.
Can't stop thinking of the photos of Trump's return to the White House yesterday. Even the optics of his hat, white then instead of red, like a hopeless, failed matador wielding another kind of flag.

I know some religious queens regard such BREADCRUMBS as a holy snack, but I'll pass!

The Donald candids are wild. Whatever he eventually proclaims, these pics say he knows it's over.

This opportunist is probably doing the Electric Slide (or, if that never hit Europe, a traditional Slovene FOLK DANCE equivalent) in the back of a rented U-Haul trailer as we speak. I hope she tries to take him for all he's worth, and I hope that turns out to be... not much!

Cute, albeit a bit hackneyed. Have the people never heard "I Rise"? Don't answer that.

Talk about a where-were-you-when moment.

I guess @GOD really does work in mysterious ways.

My whole sense of hope feels refurbished. What a great moment. Thank you all for this thread's updates and insights. What a thrill!

I made a spreadsheet to do the math on the remaining states based on current vote totals and estimated outstanding votes
In order to take Arizona, Trump would need to win 68% of the remaining votes. He currently has been winning 48.7%
Georgia: Trump needs to win 66% of the remaining votes. He currently has been winning 49.3%
Nevada: Trump needs to win 73% of the remaining votes. He currently has been winning 48.0%
Pennsylvania: Trump needs to win 61% of the remaining votes. He currently has been winning 49.1%
While mathematically possibly, it is highly unlikely he can come back based on the voting trends. They should just call the election at this point.
As even adding up Rebel Heart demos is a big challenge over here, I certainly won't be fact-checking your work, but this looks wonderful! Thank you.

I wonder if the delay will hurt or actually help in terms of potential backlash from the deranged MAGA crowd. Could giving everyone a few days to get used to the idea of a Trump loss actually stem the tide and limit the toll of some people's knee-jerk reactions? Wishful thinking?

He sounds like an idiot. Though I guess idiocy is a virtue in some circles, so expect this not to be his final bow.

Anyone else a bit annoyed at SOME Republican media commentators saying that people have to give Trump space and time to take it in and remind him of how great his presidency was. Plus saying to send him out with applause and roses. Also to get his daughter to explain the situation to him gently etc.
Seriously, he is an adult man who does not need to be treated and coddled like a toddler. He is obnoxious, insulting and heartless to others all of the time and deserves no kid gloves. The way some crawl to him is pathetic.
Forgive my handwringing, but they're such a vile party. Even the ones who will decry Trump will only do so to take the heat off of themselves, acting like he was the outlier who spiraled out of control. Eventually, we'll see them let him take the fall for making hatred de rigueur, but silently they'll gleefully go on reaping the rewards of how his willingness to whip into a frenzy every dormant racist inclination in America has allowed the GOP to form government at a macro level, granting them the Senate and the Supreme Court (this perhaps for decades) alike.
It's like he was a prop, and stupid enough to be oblivious to the fact. He did their dirty work but for too many they'll be able to spin it like it was all for his cause, not theirs.

Dumps press conference was infuriating but at the same time beautiful to see him ooze misery and defeat. Surely his tough guy wannabe supporters aren't going to be here for an obese man child that is going to cry in the fetal position for the next 2 months.
The machismo posturing was central to so much of his appeal for those assholes. What happens if the scales finally fall and they see him for the sniveling, sputtering wimp he actually is?

The poetic justice of a lifelong moneyed narcissist winding up shamed, disgraced, and destitute? Sounds just like the miracle of hope this year needs.

Oh my. Too soon to shake some ass to a certain Gladys Knight & the Pips record and feel PEACE?

It's a character flaw to be this prissy, but I have to roll my eyes at how someone like Lady Gaga is doubtlessly patting herself on the back somewhere after generating breathless international headlines for encouraging approximately 11 people to vote, and every one of them for Trump, as heroic Stacey's praises go relatively unsung. Ms. Abrams is truly amazing.

From the fuller perspective of a few days later, I wonder how he feels about torpedoing his "career" for some ephemeral fun. Whoops.
