Cal was a Senator when they met at the Summit. Sinatra clearly bankrolled most of Paradise, though likely got contributions from other billionaires that got seats inside too. Billy definitely used the other agent as a cover and was part of the murder set up but she doesn’t know about that. She probably was relieved of duty and went home.

She probably had to dress modestly if she wanted entrance to the temple, i.e. with shoulders and thighs (maybe even knees) covered. it is that way in a lot of cultures.

I could give the dems the benefit of the doubt that they are having difficulties getting on media programs to talk about these problems because the media doesn't want to publicize them for fear of retribution from the administration (See AP News, etc). However, there are plenty of media programs that don't care that much and would put them on. So yeah, i do wonder why we don't hear more from the dems.

I would be very surprised if Belinda knew anything about Greg's plotting to have Tanya killed. I expect they will 'run into each other' and Belinda will ask about Tanya and find out about her death (if she didn't know before) and be sad (maybe) and ask questions (maybe) and make Greg uncomfortable (maybe). There will be some 'falling out' among the 3 girlfriends. one of the two men will be involved in the shooting i think, either the victim or the shooter. I don't think the older son of the family is after his brother sexually. he thinks he's gods gift to women. he's just a horndog trying to justify his horniness as normal by making sure his brother is just as horny as he is and/or he's compensating because he's an asshole to women. the younger brother could be gay.

that is the subject of a current lawsuit filed by various states and unions. right now the TROs have been denied due to lack of "imminent harm" (apparently losing one's job isn't considered 'imminent harm' because you can get another one and/or be compensated with money later). the judge did say that the authority was questionable, so merit wise looks bad, that a formal decision on that is months or maybe years down the road.

Don’t expect the media to do much at all, at least American media. Maybe some international media will do it

finally got around to watching this. given that Oliver clearly wanted to live in wealth, i was a bit surprised he waited so long for Sir James to die. I suppose Oliver didn't have access to Sir James once he was bought off and simply had to wait, and then he found Elspeth and manipulated her to get back into Saltburn. Oliver sure figured out that Felix was decent enough not to tell Sir James about his lies before the party, which was a big mistake for Felix. but i suppose no one suspects a liar is going to end up being a murderer.

i was glad that the celestial was finally acknowledged in some way. i almost thought Liv Tyler's only "appearance" was going to be that phone call for a while, it nearly was until she finally showed up for a brief scene at the end. yet still got quite high billing. At least Bucky said more than her. The reshoots with Giancarlo were unfortunately pretty obvious. I hope they do right by him the next time he shows up. Harrison Ford almost stole the movie from Anthony Mackie. Did i miss it or did they cut Sam's "you're right" line when Ross said "you're not Steve Rogers"? I swear i didn't hear it.

Well, Los Angeles was fairly urban, though there were parts of that season that were somewhat spread out.

That was definitely different. I guess the nightmares had something to do with his own emotions over the article of the former colleague stealing his idea. The wife was a bitch.

I’m sure virtue signaling was part of it. But not voting, not reading, bias toward believing the white man over the black lady , hatred of others, and many other things contributed as well. Donalds really likes pretzels so much he emulates the twists so he can support trump. The BLM protests were not equivalent to the Jan 6 riots so the investigation is definitely political. Palmari could have been stronger to push back. i did like Bill’s comment that oh trump saying announcing we are doing criminal things is ok, but Biden not saying we are doing non criminal things is not ok? Hayes was fine but I would have liked him better on the panel. i have to pay to watch the Super Bowl either way, pay for cable tv so I can access Fox or pay for Hulu. No tv is really free anymore.

Loved those wedding outfits. Rob voted out by his own traitor mates, hah! Now the fun speculation of who they will recruit, can they agree on anyone? Danielle will probably get her way and choose badly.

I do wish more awards had been given out on the show, but the ceremony was already long enough. i know that every year they have to make choices what awards to show beyond "the big ones." the problem with the AI/Beatles song is that it was such a gimme. Who wasn't going to give the award to the Beatles? It just wasn't fair to the other nominees. tbh, i'm almost surprised the Beatles didn't win the other award in which they were nominated. I'm not a Rolling Stones fan, so i also thought that award was ill suited.

I enjoyed all the performances, many by artists I was not familiar with before. Shakira is amazing.

yeah, that is a big concern. there's so much stuff being signed via executive order or just being done that the dems (the only opposition, the gop sure isn't doing anything but enjoying watching everything get broken) can only do so much and its terrifying what might slip through the cracks and hurt people before an injunction is filed.
