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.

What got me is her telling Allen how he had to dress to impress her while she's sitting there in a gym workout outfit that wasn't even matching colors. To think she got on a plane and thought she was dressed properly and was so highfalutin about it all.

Disagree. You can't spoon and snuggle up to a community in bed. Friends are, of course, important but love is what most people are looking for.

Bingo! You're exactly right.

It's as good an explanation as any other I've heard.

Pretty paltry reason. Sounds like the sort of thing couples go through all the time and that both of them were being petty.

The 'joke' was approved line by line by his campaign as were all the insults and vile rants from all the other speakers. Trump is responsible for his own campaign. He's so weak and unethical he constantly claims he didn't hear or see things at his rallies that inflame half the country. And yet someone who is so stupid they don't know what their hired flunkies are saying wants to run a huge country. Lord help us.

Excellent post. Wish I could 'like' it 100 times. It's a shame that more people can't look honestly at their lives and appreciate all the nuances in life that they benefit from just from being white. I remember having discussions with my son often as he was growing up to be grateful for being tall and blond and blue-eyed and well socialized and smart spoken and to appreciate all the doors it opened for him. Once through those doors he usually had to prove himself but getting in the door is such an important first step that often isn't available for a lot of other people.

That woman had unreasonable expectations of what the government can do for her and therefore her comments blaming Kamala for her problems came off as whiny and totally realistic and definitely not a Kamala supporter. And she obviously hasn't been listening to the speeches and rallies and townhalls for the last three months. Kamila hasn't been 'namecalling'. She's been quoting various Republican officials who have facts on their side and proof that Trump is losing it and IS a fascist and definitely isn't capable of being the US president. Trump is the "namecaller". It's absolutely disgusting what he's been calling Kamela at his rallies and events. The insults he's throwing at her are vile and ugly and racist and misogynistic and that woman perched on the stage and called their behaviour equal when it absolutely isn't. She's a Trumper through and through.

Um, isn't this supposed to be the forum for The Daily Show?

They were pretty bad. None of them would have made my list but different people appeal to different souls. I don't understand why Devin is getting all the shit. A great number of the bachelors or bachelorettes haven't made it to TheFinalRose show so why is Devin being blamed for it. Jen and all her previous toxic boyfriends never figured love out and, in fact, Jen didn't even want Devin - she wanted Marcus - so she's hardly in a favourable position to pile all the blame on him. I'm just glad this season is over. It was one of the worst ones in the history of Bachelor/ette.

The amount of steroid found in Sinner's urine was minuscule, like how could they even measure such a tiny amount. According to the NYT, "detected a metabolite of clostebol. The first sample was recorded at 76pg (picograms) per millilitre. The second was recorded at 86pg per millitire. One picogram is equal to one trillionth of a gram." That's certainly not enough to have any affect on Sinner's performance so it's not at all surprising that the penalty was reversed. I'm all for comprehensive and effective drug testing of all the tennis players but there should be reasonable rules to the whole system, like the amount of substance be enough to actually make a difference to the player's performance. Sinner is going to have this hanging over his head for the rest of his career and that's not fair. Plus, it's my understanding that this clostebol is an ordinary salve sold over the counter, much like the tubes of Polysporin that are sold in N American stores. We're really not talking about a doping scandal here. At least we shouldn't be.
