Sad to see. Like Grizzlor said, I don't like losing any quality science fiction TV. And I loved QL 2.0.

Sigh.

I still need to read that PDF from ireactions. I'm getting to it, ireactions!! Just been busy as of late more than I thought that I would be.

Former Trump officials are among the most vocal opponents of returning him to the White House

https://apnews.com/article/former-trump … ce=Twitter

NEW YORK (AP) — Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper has called him a “threat to democracy.” Former national security adviser John Bolton has declared him “unfit to be president.” And former Vice President Mike Pence has declined to endorse him, citing “profound differences.”

As Donald Trump seeks the presidency for a third time, he is being vigorously opposed by a vocal contingent of former officials who are stridently warning against his return to power and offering dire predictions for the country and the rule of law if his campaign succeeds.

It’s a striking chorus of detractors, one without precedent in the modern era, coming from those who witnessed first-hand his conduct in office and the turmoil that followed.

Sarah Matthews, a former Trump aide who testified before the House Jan. 6 committee and is among those warning about the threat he poses, said it’s “mind-boggling” how many members of his senior staff have denounced him.

“These are folks who saw him up close and personal and saw his leadership style,” Matthews said.

“The American people should listen to what these folks are saying because it should be alarming that the people that Trump hired to work for him a first term are saying that he’s unfit to serve for a second term.”

Yet the critics remain a distinct minority. Republican lawmakers and officials across the party have endorsed Trump’s bid — some begrudgingly, others with fervor and enthusiasm. Many aides and Cabinet officials who served under Trump are onboard for another term, something Trump’s campaign is quick to highlight.

“The majority of the people who served in President Trump’s cabinet and in his administration, like the majority of Americans, have overwhelmingly endorsed his candidacy to beat Crooked Joe Biden and take back the White House,” said Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung.

Still, the Biden campaign has trumpeted the criticism of former Trump officials in statements and social media posts, hoping to convince at least some Republican voters — including those who backed other candidates during the GOP primary — that they cannot support his candidacy.

“Those who worked with Donald Trump at the most senior levels of his administration believe he is too dangerous, too selfish and too extreme to ever lead our country again — we agree,” said Biden campaign spokesman Ammar Moussa.

In many ways, the schism among former Trump officials is an extension of his time in the White House. Friction was constant as Trump’s demands ran into resistance from some officials and aides who refused requests that they found misguided, unrealistic and, at times, flatly illegal. Firings were frequent. Many quit.

Staff upheaval was particularly intense in the chaotic weeks after the 2020 election as Trump worked to overturn his election loss to Biden. Trump summoned supporters to Washington on Jan. 6, 2021, as his falsehoods about a stolen election became the rallying cry for supporters who violently breached the U.S. Capitol. Many people serving in the administration quit in protest, including Matthews.

Trump’s attempt to remain in office included a bitter pressure campaign against Pence, who as vice president was tasked with presiding over the count of the Electoral College ballots on Jan. 6. Trump was adamant that Pence should prevent Biden from becoming president, something he had no power to do. Pence had to flee the Senate chamber on Jan. 6 as rioters stormed the building to chants of “Hang Mike Pence!”

Pence recently said he “cannot in good conscience” endorse Trump because of Jan. 6 and other issues, despite being proud of what they achieved together.

And Pence is not alone.

Esper, who was fired by Trump days after the 2020 election, clashed with the then-president over several issues, including Trump’s push to deploy military troops to respond to civil unrest after the killing of George Floyd by police in 2020.

In a recent interview with HBO’s “Real Time With Bill Maher,” Esper repeated a warning that Trump is “a threat to democracy” and added, “I think there’s a lot to be concerned about.”

“There’s no way I’ll vote for Trump, but every day that Trump does something crazy, the door to voting for Biden opens a little bit more, and that’s where I’m at,” Esper said.

Among Trump’s most vocal critics are former aides who worked closely with him in the White House, particularly a trio who gained prominence testifying about the Jan. 6 attack and Trump’s push to overturn the election.

The group includes Matthews, former Trump White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin and Cassidy Hutchinson, a former top aide to Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows. They have given a series of interviews in recent months opposing their former boss.

“Fundamentally, a second Trump term could mean the end of American democracy as we know it, and I don’t say that lightly,” Griffin told ABC in December.

John Kelly, Trump’s former chief of staff, had his own long falling-out with Trump. Kelly, in a lengthy October statement to CNN, described Trump as “a person who admires autocrats and murderous dictators” and “has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law.”

Olivia Troye, a former Pence adviser who left the White House in 2020, and former press secretary Stephanie Grisham, who resigned Jan. 6, are both outspoken critics who said they didn’t vote for Trump in 2020.

Even Bill Barr, Trump’s former attorney general who has not ruled out voting for him again, has referred to Trump as “a consummate narcissist” who “constantly engages in reckless conduct that puts his political followers at risk and the conservative and Republican agenda at risk.”

Still, the ranks of former Trump officials opposing his bid are greatly outnumbered by those who are supportive.

Linda McMahon, who headed the Small Business Administration under Trump, is co-chairing a major fundraiser for the former president on Saturday in Florida, along with former Trump Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross.

McMahon is also chair of the board of The America First Policy Institute, which is packed with supportive former Trump officials and has been described as an “administration in waiting” for a second Trump term.

The institute is headed by Brooke Rollins, Trump’s former domestic policy chief, and counts Pence’s national security adviser and retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg among its chairs, along with former Energy Secretary Rick Perry, Trump’s U.S. trade representative Robert Lighthizer, and former National Economic Council director Larry Kudlow.

Former acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker has campaigned for Trump, as has former Housing Secretary Ben Carson, who called him “a friend of America.”

Trump’s also got the backing of former acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell, former Interior Secretary and Montana Rep. Ryan Zinke, and Russell Vought, who ran Trump’s Office of Management and Budget.

Vought said in a post on X that Trump is “the only person I trust to take a wrecking ball to the Deep State.”

Trump supporters are also quick to dismiss critics in the party.

Carmen McVane, who attended Trump’s rally Tuesday in Green Bay, Wisconsin, said those who speak negatively against Trump or refuse to endorse are RINOs, or Republicans In Name Only, and will only help Biden and Democrats.

“There’s a lot of RINOs who don’t do what they’re supposed to do,” McVane said. “It’s time for everyone to back who we have and go full force ahead.”

Here's the thing. I think Trump is a wannabe dictator. I think he is extremely dangerous, and I think he's willing to use his followers to go after people that threaten him. Instead of using the police or the military, I think Trump wants to use his loyal followers to do his dirty work because (and he's been right so far), he has deniability in his actions. If he ordered the military to attack the Capitol, then he's crossed the Rubicon. If he nudges his followers in a certain direction, he can defend himself.
I think the pick-up truck is obviously in extremely poor taste. I think it's extremely inappropriate for a presidential candidate to send that image out to the masses. But when you compare it to what Kathy Griffin did with the beheaded Trump, I think it's pretty bland. I think Trump is pretty evil, but I assume he didn't "tweet" it to his followers because he wants Biden dead or wants them to go after him. I think he thought it was funny and that's it. He's a child.
If they want to investigate the owner of the truck, that's fine. But since the imagery isn't nearly as violent as what Griffin did and since I don't think Trump was legitimately threatening Biden, I think this is something that we (meaning those that are anti-Trump) should drop.

Kathy Griffin is a heroine. LOL. And she's all right in my book. She only did it to an inanimate object, for cryin' out loud.

Trump (Hitler) did it to a real photo of the President. Big difference.

The first time I ever heard of QUANTUM LEAP was through Temporal Flux back on the old Sci-Fi Bboard. I suppose it makes sense as QL was TF's show before SLIDERS.
Temporal Flux posted about how the "Mirror Image" finale of QUANTUM LEAP had seen a mixed reception among fans. However, there was some news: the QUANTUM LEAP novels published after the show's cancellation (published at a rate of 2 - 4 a year) were coming to an end, but their 17th and final original installment would come in February 2000 with a novel called "Mirror's Edge":
Mirror's Edge, by Carol Davis with Esther D. Reese
The last leap... ?
It's 1999 -- five years after the Leap that started it all. It's 1999 -- for Sam Beckett who has leaped into Joe Powell, one of the richest men in America, a potential presidential candidate, and a man who is used to getting his way.
It's 1999 for Al Calavicci, for Donna Alessi-Beckett, for all the people at Project Quantum Leap who know that Sam is in their present, home but yet not home. But the holes in Sam's Swiss cheese memory are starting to fill, the man in the Waiting Room is strangely, disturbingly calm, and Ziggy is dispensing information that can hardly be believed. Something is about to happen.
Something that will change Sam's life and the lives of those who love him -- forever.
"Mirror's Edge": the conclusion to the thrilling adventures based on the hit TV series.
The novel hit the shops shortly after SLIDERS had aired its series non-finale. Some Slideheads who were also Leapers thought "Mirror's Edge" might take the sting off with a post-"Mirror Image" story.
In the many, many, many years since then, I have always remembered this posting about a media tie-in novel that I never read regarding a TV show that I never watched.
The reason I've always remembered it: "Mirror's Edge" was the first time I had ever seen an unresolved live action story being addressed in another format. That fascinated me, and I later discovered STAR TREK novels that resurrected Captain Kirk, DOCTOR WHO novels that resumed the TV show storyline during the DW hiatus from 1987 to 2005, and wrote my own tie-in stories for SLIDERS. "Mirror's Edge" remains a beacon of media tie-ins in my personal, anecdotal experience.
However, I later did learn: some QL fans expressed frustration with "Mirror's Edge" for what they called false advertising. Despite being billed as a "conclusion", that turned out to just be referring to how this 17th book was to be the last. "Mirror's Edge", like every QUANTUM LEAP novel before it, takes place before the series finale of QL1.0. It is not a sequel to "Mirror Image".
However. While "Mirror's Edge" is set before "Mirror Image"; it is set at the very edge of "Mirror Image"; it is in fact a prequel seeking to offer context to the series finale that is either new or retconned. It tries to make "Mirror Image" more of a finale, retroactively, by telling a story set before it that attempts to better explain it.
Some fans were furious with the publisher and the authors. Primary author Carol Davis spoke with fans on fan forums and explained: due to diminished sales, the publisher had elected to end the QL book series and commissioned a final story. However, the licensing agreement with Universal had a stipulation: the publishers were not allowed to produce any novels set after the QL series finale. The studio didn't want a novel to potentially step on any territory to be left open for a potential TV movie or series revival.
Davis and the publisher were caught between the need to produce a concluding novel and the studio declaring that Davis' typewriter wasn't to produce a single page set after "Mirror Image". Davis came up with a solution. Her solution -- a prequel to "Mirror Image" -- is either tactical brilliance that would make a lawyer weep with joy or a weak gesture that is grossly inadequate.
I've always wondered what a QL fan unhappy with "Mirror Image" would think of "Mirror's Edge". would think of it if they read the book. "Mirror's Edge" is out of print, but here is a PDF and an ePub from Archive.org:

Will you read it and tell me what you think of it?
I would have asked Tom of Rewatch Podcast, but Tom actually likes the finale story that is "Mirror Image". "I like it, it made me feel good with the series ending where it did," he told me. "I know a lot of people don't like it, but I do. I will die on that hill!" I didn't think him the right person to read "Mirror's Edge" and tell me if it resolves his dis-satisfactions with "Mirror Image" because he wasn't dis-satisfied.
@ireactions - Absolutely. I will take a look and give this a read soon! I've always thought that Mirror Image did not resolve anything and was too open-ended of a cliffhanger for QL for me to ever be satisfied with it. I felt down-right ripped off and felt like there should have been a much better finale for an otherwise amazing series.
Back then, of course, you had to wait for the rerun of the show starting back at S01E01 to tape it on bulky VHS tapes (I had a library of shows I taped on VHS to watch over and over again until I lost interest and the VHS tapes were eventually thrown away - only to be picked up again years later via DVDs then via streaming). And yes, that included Sliders on tape. None of us back then had any inkling of the technology we would have access to nowadays with streaming every single show we have ever loved at our fingertips.

@ireactions - I just downloaded it and I will be reading through it this weekend. Looks like this will be a fun read based on what I have heard!!

President Biden has raised the most money of any Presidential political candidate in history. Last night in the 9pm hour he raised more in that time frame than any political candidate in history.

Follow the money, not the polls.

An amazing State of the Union Address from President Biden. Not a single flub, with plenty of attacks on rethuglicans and Trump (Hitler). Even the hecklers like MTG didn't cause any flubs.

Based on the cameras on MSNBC, nobody wanted to be a rethuglican in that room tonight.

Well done, Mr. President!!!

So what I'd really like to see (if we get to keep having elections in America) is for it to be okay for a sitting president to get primaried. I don't see why a sitting president shouldn't have to defend his/her record, and I don't see how it's democratic to just keep a guy because he won last time. Someone can be the right person for the job one election cycle and not the right person the next cycle. And I think it's okay to admit that someone might've been good for four years, but someone else could be better.
"But how does it help unite the party behind one guy if there's a challenge?"
I mean open primaries happen for at least one party every year, and in most cases, both parties every 8 years. In other words, 75% of primaries are open primaries. I don't think Biden was any more hurt by facing an open primary in 2020 than he is now - in fact, you could argue it's worse.
Now I think it would encourage primaries to be friendlier. I don't think it would help if Newsom or Warnock was attacking Biden on his age for three months. But I think Biden facing his critics and seeing what the voters think is a good thing. And if Biden was the man for the job, he'd win an open primary. And a battle-tested Biden might be better prepared to face Trump.
I don't think it'll happen anytime soon, but I'd like to see it.
I don't know what would've helped derail Trump. I don't know if Haley had gone negative on Trump earlier if it would've made a difference. I honestly don't know if the indictments would've made a difference either. I think Mitch McConnell might've been the only one that could've stopped Trump, and it sucks that he didn't do that.
But I still think Trump is a unique specimen that won't easily be reproduced. And maybe we'll never see anything like it again in our lifetimes.

Trump is never a good thing. It's also not about keeping a guy because "he won last time". Racism, Hitler-enablement and being a serial rapist is never okay. Bragging that you can murder somebody in the middle of 5th Avenue because you think you're so popular that they'll never do anything to you in terms of consequences is never okay.

Voting against Trump is about keeping fascism and literal Hitler out of the White House. I love Biden. He's done his job successfully and has continued to be effective as an amazing President. And he has earned my vote. So has Adam Schiff. And voting for our democracy over fascism is worthwhile (which I hope the bottom 3 generations turning voting age this year are aware of).

I voted democrat on Tuesday straight down the ticket, by the way. For Biden, and Schiff.

At this point, I wouldn't count on anything impacting Trump outside of the New York trial being juicy enough to get people interested. I think a lot of people, especially some of his Christian followers, might be turned off by some of the details coming out of that.

His faux "Christian" followers (despite the fact that they are all the antithesis of the name Christian), are not the ones to worry about. They are a very small minority at around a 23% portion of the overall republican vote.

Okay, but again, we can survive on bad policies. If Trump just had bad policies, there's less to fear about him. We've survived bad policies. We've had a number of bad presidents that had bad policies, and we've survived four years with them. We survived eight years of George W Bush who had some bad policies, but George W Bush did what he thought was best for the country and its people.
And we survived four years of Trump and his bad policies. He ran for re-election, lost, and he tried to throw out our system of government, and he failed.
Bad policies I don't worry about. What I worry about is anti-democratic promises. This guy wants to shred the constitution, and that makes him uniquely dangerous. Nikki Haley might have terrible policies, but she would do so in service of the Constitution and the American people. Donald Trump does everything for himself. We could survive four years or even eight years of Haley. There might be some damage she leaves behind, but it wouldn't be anything that couldn't be undone or fixed.
Trump? I don't know how long we survive under Trump. And I don't know if the damage he leaves is repairable. The damage he's already left might not be repairable for a while.
But we can't paint them with the same brush, or it weakens the entire argument. I think there are a handful of GOP that I'm truly worried about if they get into power. It's Trump, it's Kari Lake, its Ron Paul, and a few others that are absolutely insane. If we just say everyone is Trump, then we're lying to ourselves. There's one true threat to America right now. And every enemy of our enemy is our friend.
(THE ABOVE IS JUST MY OPINION AND NOT THE OPINION OF SLIDERS.TV)

You do realize that I just posted all the evidence anyone should need that Nikki Haley is going to do that same thing, right?

1. Anti-reproductive rights bills that she signed - a.k.a. anti-democratic.
2. Anti-keeping migrant children with their parents - a.k.a. anti-democratic.
3. Anti-Trump impeachment - a.k.a. anti-democractic.

And more.

A Haley win would spell death for democracy and the last free election in the United States. Exactly the same as a Trump win.
I think this is the kind of mindset we need to stay away from. Trump is bad in a different way than Haley is bad. They're both bad, but one is generationally bad. One is just bad.
Liz Cheney (who is also bad but a different kind of bad) said that true conservatives should vote for Biden because W"e Can Survive Bad Policies But Not ‘Torching the Constitution’" (https://www.mediaite.com/news/liz-chene … stitution/). I think we need to have the same mindset, or tribalism is going to destroy us. Everyone can't be Trump. We can't see boogeymen in every person we disagree with.
If Trump wins, we know he's compromised to foreign powers. He's said he wants to be a dictator. He's shown admiration towards authoritarian leaders. We know what he wants to do and the threat he presents.
Haley has never said any of these things. She's spoken out against the way Trump treats Putin. She's supported Ukraine. She's spoken out against Trumpism and the cult of MAGA.
She'd be bad on a lot of social issues. She'd probably be bad on the border. But she's never shown any anti-democracy tendencies as far as I'm aware. And if we say everyone is Trump and everyone is as bad as Trump, then we hurt our argument that Trump is a unique villain that must be defeated. We can't use the same type of hyperbole that Trump uses to rile people up. We need to be truthful and honest.
(If Haley has ever shown anti-democratic tendencies or spoken about wanting to be a dictator, I'm happy to be shown that).

Sure. Here you go. I think it's a mistake to think a softer voice is somehow better. It's not. Just a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Following former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley's launch of her 2024 presidential campaign Tuesday, progressives cautioned that while the Republican has spent years cultivating a so-called "moderate" public persona, her policy positions make it abundantly clear that as president, she would promote a right-wing agenda similar to the Trump administration, in which she served for nearly two years.

Haley, who also served as South Carolina's governor before joining the administration of former President Donald Trump in 2017, has advanced right-wing policies both domestically and abroad, and since leaving public office four years ago, has used her platform to promote "extreme hardline positions on foreign policy," wrote Daniel Larison at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft.

The Republican has strived to center her response to the 2015 Mother Emanuel AME Church shooting in Charleston by a white supremacist as evidence of her moderation, including in her campaign launch video footage of the speech she gave weeks after the massacre when signing a bill to remove the Confederate flag from the grounds of the state capitol.

Progressive strategist Sawyer Hackett noted, however, that moments earlier in the video she denied that the deep history of institutional racism has contributed to persistent inequality in the United States.

"Make no mistake: Nikki Haley is no moderate," said Christina Harvey, executive director of progressive advocacy group Stand Up America. "From her support of Trump's policy of putting children in cages and the regressive reproductive health policies she pushed as governor of South Carolina to her opposition to federal voting rights legislation and her unwavering support of Donald Trump—even after he incited the January 6 insurrection—Nikki Haley has shown her true colors."

During her six years as governor of South Carolina, Haley signed anti-reproductive rights bills including one that banned abortion care after 19 weeks of pregnancy, with no exceptions for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest.

With anti-abortion rights Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis expected to also announce a run for the GOP presidential nomination, NARAL Pro-Choice America president Mini Timmaraju said the primary is already becoming "a race to the bottom."

"Whether it's serving in Donald Trump's Cabinet or signing an extreme abortion ban into law, Nikki Haley's record is chock full of red flags," said Timmaraju. "Haley's views on abortion are just as extreme as others gunning for the Republican nomination, and we look forward to working alongside our members to defeat the Republican nominee, whoever it may be."

Haley's campaign launch ad also included a claim that President Joe Biden is promoting a "socialist" agenda, which Poor People's Campaign co-chair Rev. Dr. William Barber II interpreted as an attack on those who "believe in living wages, voting rights, and healthcare for all."

During Haley's two years as U.N. ambassador under the Trump administration, she was a strong proponent of the president's so-called "zero tolerance" policy under which thousands of migrant children were separated from their parents and guardians, Trump's push to pull out of the U.N. Human Rights Council, and the administration's decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal.

Though she briefly criticized Trump for inciting the mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 in an effort to stop the certification of the 2020 presidential election results, Haley soon after defended the former president and called on Democratic lawmakers to "give the man a break" as they impeached Trump for a second time.

"When we needed leaders to stand up for our democracy and our freedoms, Haley fell in line with Donald Trump, again and again," said Harvey. "That's exactly the opposite of what our country needs. Unfortunately, it doesn't make her unique. Whether the Republican nominee is Nikki Haley, Donald Trump, or someone else, there will likely be a MAGA Republican with a track record of undermining our democracy on the GOP ticket come November 2024."

At the Quincy Institute, Larison wrote that Haley's effort to cast herself as a moderating voice in the Republican Party while also defending the former president has left her "with no obvious base of support" and has likely rendered her a long-shot candidate.

"There is so little daylight between Haley's own positions and those of Trump that it will be difficult for her to criticize anything he did as president," Larison wrote. "Haley's foreign policy record is bound up with Trump's to such an extent that she will struggle to distinguish herself from him."

Barber called on voters to focus on "the main message: None of the Republicans planning on running disagree with Trump on policy."

Make no mistake. Nikki Haley is just as bad as Trump. Even if Trump loses, and Nikki wins, you're basically getting the female version of Trump.

She lies, and lies, and lies, and cannot be trusted. And will say anything to manipulate. She will fulfill the rethuglican party's christo fascist regime goals of taking the country back to the 1950s (some want the country taken back to the late 1800s).

Don't trust her.

A Haley win would spell death for democracy and the last free election in the United States. Exactly the same as a Trump win.

By the way, this is being reported by FOX (Faux) News. When FOX News starts deriding Trump (Hitler), you know it's bad for him:

New presidential rankings place Obama in top 10, Reagan and Trump below Biden

https://www.foxnews.com/us/new-presiden … elow-biden

A new ranking of presidents by a group of self-styled experts determined that Abraham Lincoln is America's greatest president, while Donald Trump ranks last.

Lincoln topped the list of presidents in the 2024 Presidential Greatness Project expert survey for the third time, following his top spot in the rankings in the 2015 and 2018 versions of the survey.

According to a release from the Presidential Greatness Project, which touts itself as the "foremost organization of social science experts in presidential politics," the 154 respondents to the survey included "current and recent members of the Presidents & Executive Politics Section of the American Political Science Association…as well as scholars who have recently published peer-reviewed academic research in key related scholarly journals or academic presses."

The respondents were asked to rank presidents on a scale of 0-100, with 0 being a failure, 50 being average and 100 being great. Rounding out the top five in the rankings were Franklin Delano Roosevelt at number two, George Washington at three, Theodore Roosevelt at four, and Thomas Jefferson at five.

Trump was ranked in last place in the survey, being ranked worse than James Buchanan at 44, Andrew Johnson at 43, Franklin Peirce at 42, and William Henry Harrison at 41.

Respondents were also tracked by their political affiliation and ideology, which the release argues did not "tend to make a major difference overall" in the rankings, though there were some outliers, mainly with recent presidents.

Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush and Trump were more likely to be ranked higher by conservatives or Republicans, with Reagan being ranked an average of 5th by Republicans respondents, Bush 19th and Trump 41st. Among Democrat respondents, Reagan was rated an average of 18th, Bush 33rd and Trump 45th.

A similar partisan divide was noticeable for Barack Obama and President Biden, who ranked an average of 6th and 13th, respectively, among Democrat respondents, and 15th and 30th by Republicans. Bill Clinton, a Democrat, was ranked higher by Republican respondents (10th) than he was by Democrats (12th).

The divide resulted in an overall ranking of 7th for Obama, 12th for Clinton, 14th for Biden, 16th for Reagan and 32nd for Bush.

Again, I would like to point out that Grizzlor may be talking in general terms about what the average American understands about some of these things. The average American doesn't watch MSNBC. The average American doesn't know what the Lincoln Project is. The average American probably doesn't have any idea the kinds of things that Trump says at rallies. They might not know that Trump has continually confused Nancy Pelosi and Nikki Haley, because the average American might not really know who either of those people are.
I'll give you an example. My wife and I don't talk about politics. We never have. Her family is conservative, but neither her nor her sister is openly political in any way. We've been together nearly a decade, and we very rarely have ever talked about our political opinions or any political stories. And one morning, I asked her if she knew about any of the Trump indictments and what they were about. She had some guesses, and she eventually mentioned documents. That's all she knew. My wife is very intelligent and watches the morning news every morning (the local news and then the Today show). She knew nothing about the criminal indictments of Donald Trump. It's not that she is getting conservative talking points or she thinks its a scam or a witch hunt or whatever - she just doesn't know the details.
But since Biden is on TV a lot of days, she knows that Biden looks old and sounds old. That's really all she knows. And so my wife, a college graduate who watches the news every day, sees Biden looking old and knows nothing about Trump.
This is where the Biden campaign is going to have to get. My wife, an average American, needs to know that Trump is on trial for hush money payments to a porn star he cheated on his wife with. My wife needs to know that Trump doesn't support our European allies. My wife needs to know that Trump was making fun of military service. Not only that, my wife needs to know that Trump regularly gets people confused and goes on bizarre tangents. My wife needs to know that Trump has promised mass deportations and to be a dictator on day one.
If they can reach my wife, I think Trump loses a ton of support. We can't rely on the news to tell the story because my wife watches the news and she doesn't know.

All good points, Slider_Quinn21. It's difficult to reconcile the dualities that are present. And sometimes I forget that Grizzlor may be talking in those terms.

I think it would help to preface his posts with the following: "Please note that the following is not what I believe, and I voted for Biden. I have just taken on this persona to illustrate the thinking of the average Trump voter for the purposes of this argument."

Meanwhile, in Russia: Mass arrests as waves of people protest Putin's murder of Navalny. Just as expected.

Meanwhile, on Twitter, Navalny is trending to the tune of well over 1 million posts. Even Musk can't censor Navalny.

I don't think this will be stopped, and people may end up storming the Kremlin if they have to. This will not stand. I don't think it will stand at all.

I said that awhile back, it was a waste of time, and only further strengthened Trump's claims of "rigged" elections.

Don't let me stop you, but I am going to let some more viewpoints come in before coming to an opinion, the same way I spent a week reading a little about Georgia prosecution practices and conflicts of interests to come the opinion that Fani Willis, while doing nothing corrupt or illegal in hiring her lover to work with her on prosecuting a Trump case (you can't have conflict of interest if you're both on exactly the same side with exactly the same goals), was careless and unprofessional in making her office vulnerable to (nuisance) accusations.
I may or may not offer some speculations before then, but they would be speculations and not actual opinions. For example, I would speculate that a US President who is a "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory" is still preferable to a malevolent, ill-intent-driven, elderly man with a poor memory and non-existent self-control in his biases, prejudice, bigotry, corruptions, greed, and vindictiveness.
The special counsel had every "business" evaluating Biden's mental state. It's what every prosecutor in the country does as part of any pre-trial preparation. They need to be certain about how an individual will behave on the witness stand, or how that person's mental faculties could come into bearing by the defense at trial. Was it unprofessional in his role, and perhaps disrespectful? Most likely, but just like James Comey ruined Hilary Clinton at the last moment with that ridiculous email letter, this is not dissimilar. The greater damage is in the court of public opinion, and for that, it's too late, "the cat is out of the bag." I felt Biden's press conference, despite calling the President of Egypt that of Mexico, was largely successful for a response. But it won't dispel the glaring cause of his perception issues.

I wish that Biden had truly intended to serve one term and not seek re-election, and I wish that Harris chose not to run. And I wish that the Democrats had a young, virile, sharp candidate who could run circles around Trump. Trump must be defeated, and I wish that I felt better about the national view of our guy. But it's too late to wish for something different. If Biden is not the nominee, it's almost certainly because something horrible has happened. And if that happens, it's up to Kamala Harris because if it's not Harris or Biden, it better be Michelle Obama or the black coalition is in jeopardy.
We just have to hope that a) all 2020 Biden voters are as enthusiastic as QuinnSlidr or b) enough 2020 Biden voters are willing to look past his age. That's really our hope now.
First, the problem is the Hur mention of memory normally would be brushed off, except that it's become the centerpiece of criticism from multiple angles on Biden himself. That plus the absolutely disastrous poll numbers that are continuing to spiral. I can only hope that Mr. Hur's critique forces someone, no idea who, maybe Obama, to get serious with Biden. Despite her own awful poll numbers, I would suspect Kamala Harris wouldn't be this badly damaged at the top of the ticket.
Second, Biden is running for the same reason that Diane Feinstein, Robert Byrd, Jesse Helms, Mitch McConnell simply would not retire. They love the game and don't want to leave it. I cannot think of a more selfish deed. This report will be mostly "forgotten" in a few weeks anyway, but the narrative will continue to chug along.

Why are you trying to cover up the fact that Robert Hur, is a Trump appointee?

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/robe … -7vpbwwnh6

From the article: "Robert Hur, the special counsel who investigated Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents, is a registered Republican who was nominated as US attorney for Maryland by Donald Trump."

You also wrote: "Second, Biden is running for the same reason that Diane Feinstein, Robert Byrd, Jesse Helms, Mitch McConnell simply would not retire. They love the game and don't want to leave it.

You pretty much have almost nothing but scathing words against President Biden, but you profess to have voted for him and have voted dem.

I am not discounting ireactions' former analysis of your posts, but I am still confused by your posts. However, I won't dispute your vote.

But don't ever criticize my ability to lay into republicans. They deserve all of that and more for stealing women's rights and the christo-fascist movement to take us back to the 1800s.

ireactions - I appreciate your position on this. But, I am going to have to respectfully disagree. And I won't be a broken record on this board regarding this. For this one, though, I offer a few additional points:

1. Biden cooperated fully with the investigation. He did not interfere in any way.
2. The republicans found nothing they could actually charge him with. That should have been the end of it.
3. But no, in spite of this, they are moving forward with accusations instead that reinforce their party's opinion about Biden. That have nothing to do with actual reality.

For these reasons, I am not going to believe a thing that republican ageism has in play on this.

Now, unless republicans actually come up with some facts to back them up (again, extraordinarily unlikely considering the fact that they just lie and lie and lie), I will continue to ignore their baseless accusations.

I don't think there is anything to these reports at all. Especially from a Trumper. They are not to be trusted.

Special counsel Robert Hur’s portrait of a man who couldn’t remember when he served as Barack Obama’s vice president, or the year when his beloved son Beau died, dealt a blow to Biden’s argument that he is still sharp and fit enough to serve another four-year term.

In deciding not to charge Biden with any crimes, the special counsel wrote that in a potential trial, “Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview with him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”

CNN Projection: Biden will win South Carolina Democratic primary

https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/ … index.html

President Joe Biden will win South Carolina's Democratic primary, CNN projects.

Democrats made South Carolina their first official primary state of the 2024 cycle, and 55 delegates are at stake.

In a result that was largely expected, Biden will defeat his two nearest challengers, Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips and author Marianne Williamson, as he claims his first delegates in his quest to win his party’s nomination again.

This year marks the first time South Carolina has appeared at the front of the official Democratic nominating calendar — a change made largely due to Biden’s urging.

The post was updated with more details on the primary.

The problem is that it doesn't matter whether it's a real issue or not. It's an issue for Biden in the general election. He can ignore it, write off people who think its an issue, and maybe he can still win. Or he can do something about it and maybe win back some voters. I'm not looking to take any chances and since 80% of Americans think that Biden is to the left of them on immigration, I think it's reasonable for him to move to the right.
He could also divert funds to the Border Patrol. He could make a big deal about the parts of the wall he's forced to make. There's a ton of space between where Biden is now and where Abbott is that he could move to the right on. The choice isn't "razor wire and kids in cages" or "do nothing." There's a lot he can do that wouldn't be harmful or inhumane to migrants.
And if he wants voters who are generally fine with Biden as long as the border gets fixed, then isn't it worth it to get those voters?

President Biden is not ignoring it:

Statement from President Joe Biden On the Bipartisan Senate Border Security Negotiations

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-roo … otiations/

For too long, we all know the border’s been broken.

It’s long past time to fix it.

That’s why two months ago, I instructed my team to begin negotiations with a bipartisan group of Senators to seriously, and finally, address the border crisis. For weeks now that’s what they’ve done. Working around the clock, through the holidays, and over weekends.

Let’s be clear.

What’s been negotiated would – if passed into law – be the toughest and fairest set of reforms to secure the border we’ve ever had in our country.

It would give me, as President, a new emergency authority to shut down the border when it becomes overwhelmed. And if given that authority, I would use it the day I sign the bill into law.

Further, Congress needs to finally provide the funding I requested in October to secure the border. This includes an additional 1,300 border patrol agents, 375 immigration judges, 1,600 asylum officers, and over 100 cutting-edge inspection machines to help detect and stop fentanyl at our southwest border.

Securing the border through these negotiations is a win for America.

For everyone who is demanding tougher border control, this is the way to do it.

If you’re serious about the border crisis, pass a bipartisan bill and I will sign it.

I don't find lies and hyperbole interesting. The border is just that - a republican lie. America was built on immigration. We should never allow or tolerate intolerance of differences in fellow human beings.

But all the border junk just screams that: intolerance.

Haley is "expected" to hang around until her state's primary on Feb 24th, where polls show her being demolished by Trump. There's even rumblings from her team that she might choose to languish through Super Tuesday two weeks later, because 11 of 16 states are "Open" primaries where you don't need to be registered Republican to participate. She's delaying the inevitable.
I guess it depends on what she's trying to get out of this. If nothing else changes, it's probably pointless to stay in the primary. If she has the money, there's reasons to stay in. If she's betting on MAGA falling apart after 2024, she's probably the frontrunner of the 2028 if she stays in long enough. She doesn't have majority support, but she does have a lot of support. Anti-Trump Republicans will remember, and it could put her in a good spot.
Let's also not forget that Trump is a) about to be on trial b) making an alarming number of gaffes and c) is 77 and not particularly healthy. If he has to drop out for any reason, Haley is at least picking up delegates. The more she stays in, the more delegates she gets.
And, again, if she has money, the longer she stays in the more she hurts Trump. If she's legitimately concerned about Trump, staying in forces Trump to work and spend money to fight her, and it delays the whole party getting behind him. Not to mention, he's losing more and more suburban women every time he attacks her. Even if she loses every primary, I'm hoping she stays in as long as possible.

Even though Haley may be hurting Trump, she is just as bad and endorses all of his same policies. I'll feel better once both are out and Biden secures another term.

In other political news, as the republican party continues to implode, Ron DeathSantis has suspended his campaign for the 2024 Presidential election.

Excellent news. Another fascist bites the dust.

Actuarial data suggests that Trump will live into his 90s. He has world class healthcare, and his father lived to be 93. I would think, barring something unexpected happening, he would live another dozen plus years.
Now, the dude only eats McDonalds and never seems to do any actual activity other than golfing. But data as recent as 2023 suggests Trump isn't in any danger of dying of natural causes for a while, and I'm sure it took his diet and his actual weight (not the ridiculous number he declares) into account.

He is also addicted to Adderall like nobody's business. So I would be very surprised if that happens.

Now does that mean Trumpism ends in 2024 if Biden wins? No. I firmly expect Trump to run for president in 2028 if he loses (or I guess if he wins). I don't see any reason why he wouldn't run (even if he's in prison) or any reason why he wouldn't win.
That's of course assuming there is a 2028 or an election at all. But this is a positive post so I'll leave that to the side.

I highly doubt that Trump will still be alive in 2028. At least I hope not.

Neither am I, but if you ever grew up with someone or an older relative who was great at telling "ghost stories?" That's Tracy. Beyond that, I'm always fascinated by late 20th century pop, and in this case, occult sub-culture. I don't believe any of it myself, but these people were very serious about all this, aka Budd Hopkins. The discussions over what video US Air Force releases of UFP's I find zero interest in. there's no art in that. You go from what used to be myths and legends a la Sasquatch to digital mehhh. No thanks. Plus it's Tracy and old friends recounting stories about what they were doing decades ago.

Indeed. And Tracy was always a great story teller.

Morbidly, my suspicion ever since this thread started is that Tracy Torme pitched an original-cast-revival over a recast-reboot because he felt that he would be the only one vying for an original-cast-revival and he wanted to pitch it before he died.
.....
For Tracy Torme, compromise was an ugly word. His loyalty was to the original characters as played by the original cast, and not to his bank balance. I respect that.
It's certainly possible, although I think we have to temper the "original cast is back" chatter, because who knows how invested the show would have been with them. They were definitely adding characters in some form, and there was the rumor that it would be Quinn sliding with his kids and Remmy. Wade was dead and Arturo dead or lost.
Tracy went silent for a long, long, long time on most everything including Sliders. He explained in one of the podcasts that he'd been having health issues for almost 20 years. However, he never forgot about Sliders or the FANS. He repeated over and over, he was amazed going back to the 90s with the fans. He was so pissed and embarrassed when the show went off the rails, and couldn't believe the fans kept loyal. That's why, IMO, he wanted to continue the original story (from some point) and keep continuity. It was for the fans.

The sad truth is that Tracy Torme's death probably improves the chances of a Sliders reboot. It almost certainly ends whatever vain hope might have existed for a continuation with the original cast.
I would agree with this statement, but unfortunately, I don't know if the chances improved THAT much. He said on the Awake Nation that he, Epstein, and the former Fox producer gal took a meeting with NBCU. There was one person who was a Sliders fan, and the rest had never heard of it. And you wonder why the pitch went nowhere?
The other issue would have been Tracy's fiercely held beliefs that Sliders would not be "woke," and though I doubt that would have even been a problem. What might have been would be if he wrote anything that put a satirical spin on whatever, because there would be some interest group or party pooper up in arms about it. There's great fear in TV land against doing anything controversial, nor even poking fun. I could easily see some NBC executives throwing a fit. But I've said that for the last two years, I cannot comprehend how modern Hollywood would have the balls to do an honest Sliders these days? I mean, could they even get away with Prince of Wails, where the British royal family is goofed on? Tracy actually joked on the podcast that Bob Weiss would never get away with the guy in the wheel chair flipping out of the upper deck of the stadium in Naked Gun!

While watching (for the umpteenth time) Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the re-introduction of Han Solo got me imagining a similar scene with an older Quinn Mallory:

[SCENE]

Having been sliding for many, many years, Quinn Mallory, now 49, is unceremoniously ejected from the wormhole for the millionth time. The wormhole closes. The wind stops. Quinn gets up slowly. Breathing heavily as he realizes his surroundings.

[CAMERA PANS AROUND QUINN'S SURROUNDINGS]

We see that he is in a familiar BASEMENT. With an EQUATION scribbled across the chalkboard with a familiar solution: Xr12A / Infinity.

[WE SEE] QUINN'S face: an older, 49 year old man. With graying hair. Disheveled disposition. As he realizes his location: a look of utter disbelief and shock. Could it be? Is he finally home after these many years? No, his mom would not be here.

[CAMERA SHOWS] the [TIMER], a nearly 30 year old device that has seen better years. But it still works thanks to QUINN'S repairs. The time reads: 24 hours, 4 minutes, and 1 second to the next window. [the in-show reference and honoring of Tracy's death date IRL].

[CAMERA CUTS TO] a shot of younger Schrodinger II, a replacement of his original cat Schrodinger, who eventually died at 17. This cat meows as the [CAMERA] focuses on him.

[CAMERA CUTS TO]

An older, more wiser Linda Henning as Quinn's mom. She is watching her afternoon show in the living room. The power goes out. [CAMERA SHOWS] her face, she knows what that means.

Quickly, she goes to the basement. And [YELLS] QUINN!!! Is that YOU??

[CAMERA CUTS TO] Quinn's face as he realizes who is calling. But he has been down this road millions of times before. His mom is too fast, however, as we realize she has already come down the stairs.

[CAMERA CUTS TO] Quinn dropping his arms dejectedly. He says, "Mom. I know. It can't be you. Surely you've seen me several times, right? You know."

QUINN'S MOM: "Yes. I saw your video tapes. I've kept them all."

QUINN'S MOM points to his familiar chair, and TV set, complete with all of the video tapes Quinn was recording more than 20 years earlier with his experiments.

QUINN: "You saw September 25, 1996.".

QUINN'S MOM: "YES. I did. Why did you do it, honey?"

QUINN: "You know me."

QUINN'S MOM: "Yes. I know."

QUINN: "But now I'm tired. I need to stop sliding. I don't know how many more worlds I can take where I find you, and you're not my mom."

QUINN'S MOM: "How about this?" [CAMERA PANS TO] QUINN'S MOM holding a pin that QUINN gave her shortly before he slid.

QUINN looks and stares at the PIN, mulling it over. Remembering details.

QUINN: "I can't believe it. I remember this. I gave you this before I left."

QUINN and his MOM embrace. Realizing that both of them are home at last. The MUSIC SWELLS.

[CUT TO]

OLD QUINN MALLORY's voice: "What if you could find brand-new worlds right here on earth? Same planet? Different dimension? I've found the gateway!"

First, the co-host of Awakenings, Penny Shepard tweeted a month back that per Tracy: "he’s been under the weather." So obviously that's not fun to hear. She did reply and said that Tracy is "doing better; he will be back Jan 10."
We were waiting for him to come back, to hear his perspective, his wisdom, his brilliance. Today we must resign to waiting until we join him in the next world. And yet, there's so much in his time and work and life from which we can learn and draw inspiration. And he really, really loved SLIDERS even when it often didn't love him back.
ireactions wrote:
In recent years, I was heartened to know that across decades of disappointment, Tracy Torme kept Quinn, Wade, Rembrandt and Arturo in his heart and his wish for a revival was to bring Jerry O'Connell, Sabrina Lloyd, Cleavant Derricks and John Rhys-Davies back to their roles. A lot of shows and their creators have prioritized the brand (MACGYVER, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA) over the cast, but Torme's loyalty was to those four characters as performed by those four actors. He cared about them as much as the fans did.
Grizzlor wrote:
Good point about the original cast. I would hope that we haven't seen the last of "Sliders," but I would agree that Tracy was the last hope to return it featuring the original cast in some major way.
This is supposition, but I suspect that a SLIDERS reboot with new actors playing Quinn, Wade, Rembrandt and Arturo would have had a much better chance of getting on NBC or Peacock than the revival that Torme pitched.
And I think if Torme had been in it just to get another payday, he probably would have just pitched a reboot. There would have been no shame in it. WALKER: TEXAS RANGER, KUNG FU, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, CHARMED, ROSWELL, etc., all made marketing sense as reboots and they each earned the original creators a satisfying payment regardless of the creative merits of any of it.
Ultimately, Torme did not seem to be in it for the money. He did have to pitch a revival that accepted that Sabrina might be hard to book and John might have limited availability whereas Jerry and Cleavant would be ready. But in the end, his loyalty was not to his wallet but to Quinn, Wade, Rembrandt and Arturo, which is not something you should expect to see very often or ever again.

And this is the one thing I still love about Tracy: his loyalty to his creation and the original cast. If it's one thing that Hollywood always gets wrong about reboots is that we don't want to see new people playing the characters. If all original actors and actresses are ready, willing, and available, I know I want to see the originals.

Don't get me wrong: Quantum Leap is the one rare exception where Hollywood has hit the nail on the head in casting its reboot. I enjoy everything about it.

But it would be exactly like rebooting Stargate SG-1 without Richard Dean Anderson, Michael Shanks, Chris Judge, Amanda Tapping, et. al. While they did something like this with the last several seasons with Ben Browder and Beau Bridges (I still don't know what it is, but I enjoyed this casting too). But, they kept all the mythos, story, and so on intact.

Maybe if they did something similar with a Sliders reboot I would still enjoy it. But it would depend heavily on who they have in the cast.

I think Sliders is one of those shows that seriously deserves the original cast to return. There is so much that was left unexplored, unwritten, and unrealized with such a unique and compelling concept at the time. At that time Sliders finally aired for the first time, it was ground-breaking television, and this was the only game in town when it came to parallel universes. There was no Marvel-verse, or DC universe, or whatever set of super hero properties that one wants to invoke to describe super hero universes. There was such chemistry, rhythm, and tone associated with the original cast. Linda Henning was perfect as Quinn's mother. And it was a delight to see her return in The Seer. And I truly had mixed feelings seeing someone else playing Professor Arturo as The Seer poked fun at itself in reviving the legendary character. On the one hand, you have some mention and link to the original series. On the other, it was cringy seeing someone else's take on Arturo. No disrespect intended towards the replacement actor who played him, but it just wasn't the same.

It's also a very cerebral show. Not a show that was made to pander to the sex-crazed men demographic as it became in its 3rd season with the introduction of Maggie Beckett. It's like how Stargate SG-1 briefly toyed with that demographic in its middle seasons with the introduction of several characters like Hathor of the Goa'uld and introducing Claudia Black as Vala Mal Doran. It was like nails on a chalkboard when this happened in both shows because both shows were not supposed to be in this vein at all. But, because of some decisions made by higher-ups we weren't allowed to have our cerebral show anymore. But, to return to our topic...

It would be like recasting Boy Meets World without Ben Savage. Or recasting Star Trek The Next Generation without Patrick Stewart or Jonathan Frakes. These are classics that shouldn't be messed with when it comes down to the original cast. Quantum Leap works because they found a compelling story with Magic and Ben, and showed links to the original. Perhaps if Sliders were to be rebooted in a similar fashion, we would have just as compelling of a cast with the right showrunners. I would highly prefer having at least Robert K. Weiss and John Landis as showrunners...I think they would keep the original shows intact. Maybe even have Jerry O'Connell star and become the showrunner. We saw a very brief return to the original Sliders formula in his incredibly AMAZING episode that he produced in season 4, Lipschitz Live!. I think his take would honor Tracy Torme rather than detract from it, being one of the original Sliders. I think at the minimum, if we can't have JRD or Sabrina, that we should still have Jerry and Cleavant. Just sayin'...

I dunno. Just some ramblings because I'm still shocked that Tracy is gone and trying to reconcile how a reboot will happen now...

What a truly sad, sad evening to learn of the passing of one of the most important artistic minds of my lifetime. I'm sure I'll have more to write about but the words aren't there right now. Tracy has suffered from numerous health ailments for many years now, and he was recently ill though he was still trying to make it tomorrow night for another appearance on an indie podcast show. According to his sister, he passed away on January 4th.
His brother James, a wonderful singer in his own right, posted this on Facebook.
Below was the front page of the Hollywood reporter website today. I can’t tell you how proud I am of my brother. We had a very special relationship. The kind that only a little brother and a big brother can ever have. He taught me about so many of the rights of passage in life and helped me to become a man. I’ll tell you more about him soon. But right now I am just trying to come to terms… thank you all for your sweet messages.
I made that as sort of a banner, unfortunately Tracy kept out of the public eye for many years though he and his wife Robin spent countless hours rescuing animals. He was quite "unknown" even to us Sliders fans. He was the guy who created the show, and despite having battles with FOX execs, he produced two abbreviated yet incredibly memorable seasons of the unheralded and unique show we all love. For years, all we had were his interview in Brad Linaweaver's book, and the numerous 2nd hand tidbits curated by TemporalFlux on the Dimension of Continuity. It gave us a window into the thought process, but so much was missing. He helped produce a small run of Sliders comic books, based frequently on his ideas, and released by Acclaim.
Tracy appeared at DragonCon, giving the now infamous panel session where he declared Sliders was BACK, and so was he! Fans were so hopeful, but alas, it was not meant to be. Years later, he appeared with Bob Weiss to provide treasured commentary during the two-part Pilot episode, as well as the short series making of. That commentary gave us a real knowledge of Tracy's mannerisms, but also, that he was so clever and comedic. He delivered his amazing, unproduced script, Heat of the Moment to Matt at Earthprime.com, another look at the what-if.
In more recent years, Tracy emerged from obscurity to lead a short-lived push to restart Sliders as a reboot. Once more, his enthusiasm knew no bounds, and fans became excited. Sadly, nothing would come of that. He went on to appear a number of times, despite frequent technical snafus, on The Prisoner rewatches with Gil "Cardinal Sin" Bavel, who sadly passed away recently as well. We were treated to Tracy's inspiration largely for Sliders, and he shared a number of humorous stories to boot. Thankfully, the producers of The Awake Nation latched onto Tracy, providing him better tech, and he appeared several times with them, largely to speak on his first love, the UFO phenomenon. His script for "Fire in the Sky" was brilliant, great movie. During those appearances, we got to see fun reunions with co-creator Robert K. Weiss, star Cleavant Derricks, and even his brother James Tormé. I will treasure those.
Thank you Tracy, the love affair which I've had with this wonderful concept you created has persisted for nearly three decades now.

That was an excellent and well-written tribute, Grizzlor.

I agree with everything you wrote.

Well done.

Yeah I haven't seen anything that would indicate that Trump stands any chance of winning this argument. And he's lying about having to be there - he's choosing to be there. And then there's the question of whether or not the Supreme Court would take it up. They denied Jack Smith's request to jump straight there (which would've bypassed today's proceedings), but it's unknown if they denied it because a) precedent - they don't often skip a step in the process, b) to help Trump, which seems unlikely because no one dissented the decision...if it was political, someone would've, or c) they aren't planning on listening either way. I think C is the best route (and maybe a likely route) because the appellate judgment would be final and maybe we could still hit a March trial date.
I just want at least one of the Jack Smith trials (Florida or DC) to go to trial before the election. I know New York will but that's such a weak case (allegedly) and we know Georgia won't go to trial before.

I don't think it is a weak case in New York at all. It is a fact that Trump overvalued his real estate properties. He even admitted it. He deserves to be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
