I'd rather listen to Rachel. I trust her implicitly to tell me the truth, even though her truth is pretty damned frightening right now.

Rahm didn't run Obama's campaign. David Axelrod did. Rahm was a congressman and became Obama's first Chief of Staff.

Oh, I agree it certainly wasn't a charitable Christian look. I didn't want to get into my feelings about Vance as I was afraid it might be too off topic but I agree with your whole post. There are quite a number of very interesting articles about Vance and his 'conversion', like this one. https://slate.com/life/2024/08/jd-vance-tim-walz-trump-kamala-religion.html J.D. Vance Used to Be an Atheist. What He Believes Now Is Telling. He’s not an evangelical Christian. He’s a Catholic—of a very specific type.

Oh, good catch! That slipped right by me but you're right, I wonder what the story is there that the twin brother was never mentioned. I'd love to know.

Doesn't matter. Trump is on record as saying that sometimes US born family members would have to be deported along with their immigrant parents. Not sure what you saw was disdain. Reportedly Vance a few years ago converted from atheism to a born again Christian and is very devout Catholic now.

I listen to them because I enjoy their rather warped sense of humour. I don't listen to their podcasts - I don't listen to anyone's podcasts - but I'll always tune in if they're going to be on Stephen's show. Contrary to your opinion, I can't stand the babble of most of Stephen's other guests.

Her facts are nothing more than her opinions. She loves to stand and shout a lot of nonsense but her rants are no more factual than anyone else's. And what annoys the hell out of me is that her intro sentence may be some conservative talking point, but her second is almost always guaranteed to be something about what Joe Biden did wrong or how Kamala Harris screwed up as if it's any of her damned business what the Democrats do.

They do this all the time!!! TSN used to broadcast on five different tennis channels for at least 20 hours a day. Now we get two American men or two American women on their own private tv channels. Such bullshit that we can't get a healthy variety of tennis like we used to. Don't know if its TSN or the feed they're getting fed from ESPN.

I took a left turn and quite liked her in this episode. I'm completely opposite to her (much more businesslike like Juan) but I can also see Karla succeeding despite being such a ditz if Juan is able to help her with the more germane stuff. There's lots of room in this world for people who are airy/fairy and march to a different drummer. Tom certainly looked good this week coming straight from work. I really like him and if he can break down those walls around Camille, they seem like they could be a good pair. The others I don't have much hope for. David is still a slob and he just doesn't fit into Michelle's world and I don't blame her for not being attracted to him although she's kind and is trying to understand him. Out of the nice outfits she picked out for him, he chose a plain old denim jacket that he could have bought at Walmart. Didn't even buy a sharp shirt to go with it. Face it, he just has no pizzazz whereas Michelle is very classy. Bad bad match by the experts. I give Allen and Madison no chance. They've been civil to each other and I think with other matches that they were even the slightest bit attracted to that they may have worked a little harder at building a relationship but these two are just not meant for each other. Neither are Ike and Emem. Let them go their separate ways.

That's pretty harsh, and not actually true. There were/are plenty of people who like him but it was hard to be heard over the raucous social media hate troops and all the regular media which has been taken over by the right wing in Canada with, I'm sure, much help from the conservatives in the States. The lies and the misinformation and disinformation and shit-stirring that's been constant for the last five years at least have finally won out. It's been disgraceful to see.

As Joy said, Alyssa has never needed lessons from any of the others on how to get her talking points in and today she was particularly rude and obnoxious, yelling and waving her stubby little fingers around. What annoyed me most was her smug condescending look after she talked over everyone.

Same old, same old. Do they not have any producers that have a whit of imagination? He seems like a nice enough guy though.

But is it "they" who are bringing in the ratings or would any other reasonably intelligent pair bring in the same ratings? Do the ratings go down when they're not there and it's just Willy and Lemire and a panel of guests? I know I'd turn the show on again if someone else were hosting. I'm at the point I can't tolerate either Joe or Mika's voices regardless of what they're talking about - just the sound of them causes me to turn them off.

It's not just David's basement that would turn me off if I were in Michelle's situation, it's his general mien. He's slopping around in a wife beater shirt, his hair uncombed and untidy with an unruly beard that looks like it hasn't been trimmed or groomed in a very long time, and the way he sits slouched and lazy and looking like he can't be bothered to sit up straight to listen to her. He may well be a very nice guy but as a potential romantic mate, he would turn me right off. I would have no desire to get anywhere near him.

Jesus Jon. Let her finish a sentence and make her point. I'm so tired of him bashing the Democrats all the time.
