On top of everything else, now Rudy Giuliani is melting.

It’s Thursday! A week before Thanksgiving! 62 days until Joe Biden is sworn in as President of the United States and I can stop writing about politics on my TV blog!

Political Crap

The laziest man on earth is desperate to keep his job though he has been fired, and really, with a schedule like this, who can blame him?

And though it is 99.9999999999999% certain President Lackadaisical will be out of the White House in two months, we are not entirely there yet, and, in fact, the next few days might be the most dangerous.

As the legal avenues continue to close on President Squatter’s head, he’s going all-in on a plan to delay certifications.

In Wisconsin, he’s paying for the recount of two liberal counties. President Twatter has been screaming about particular voting machines as being corrupt or something, machines that were used in Wisconsin. BUT! PLOT TWIST!

Rudy Guiliani continues to scream that Pennsylvania has to throw out all of their votes because FRAUD! and CORRUPTION! and DEMOCRATS! He’s yet to produce any evidence but he’s pretty sure a federal judge should just allow the Republican state legislature to pick the electors.

Also, this happened:

Also, this happened:

Also, this happened:

And in Michigan, those two Wayne County Republican canvassers who originally voted to not certify the county’s results, only to vote to certify are now trying to pull that vote back. You might be shocked to learn they made the choice to reverse themselves again after taking phone calls from President Coup. The Dicktator-in-Chief has also invited Republican Michigan lawmakers to come to the White House. Now, no one knows why he’s done this but some are worried he wants to encourage them to throw out the popular vote and choose electors themselves.

The idea here is if they can drag out the certification efforts, the President Loser will be able to get state legislatures to appoint electors, or keep the chaos going long enough to disrupt the electoral college altogether allowing Congress to step in and choose the winner — a situation in which President Lost the Popular Vote By At Least 5 MILLION VOTES might have an advantage.

Now, some things to help you breathe a bit easier: Wisconsin doesn’t certify until December 1, giving them plenty of time to recount these two counties and certify with little issue. Pennsylvania’s certification is on Monday, and their law does not allow the state legislature to pick electors just because they don’t like who won the vote there. And not only can those idiots in Wayne County not change their vote, but the Michigan Senate leader, Republican Mike Shirkey, has said flatly in an interview that the legislature will not be appointing their own electors.

I’m not saying that it’s impossible for President Ratfucker to ratfuck this election, I’m just saying the good news is that this path is narrowing quickly.

The bad news, however, is that every day we continue to do this bullshit is another day Americans of the conservative persuasion are poisoned to believe this election is illegitimate. Which, of course, is ultimately the point.

Oh, and did I mention that President Crumb isn’t headed to Mar-A-Lago for Thanksgiving after all, BECAUSE GOD FORBID WE BE SO LUCKY THAT HE FUCK OFF DOWN THERE NEXT WEEK, NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN.

2020, man.

Black Lives Matter

Holly Robinson Peete recalls the time President Proud Boy called her the N-word on Celebrity Apprentice, and how she didn’t bring it up until now because she didn’t think it would make a difference. The sad thing is? She’s certainly correct.

CBS has pledged that going forward, all their reality shows will be cast with 50% people of color. Took you long enough, say some.

CBS is also going all-in on storylines regarding racial discrimination and police brutality this season which is interesting, and I suspect a reaction to their remarkable lack of diversity in the not-so-distant past. They’ve made a great deal of progress, especially for a network whose demographics are “old white people,” so I applaud them for this. I just hope these stores aren’t just one-offs, but instead they keep telling them, if only to broaden the minds of that core demographic.

CBS isn’t the only network to be addressing the Black Lives Matter movement, of course.

History will be made on Monday when the first all-Black officiating crew refs an NFL game together. And that shouldn’t be remarkable, WHICH IS THE POINT. 

White Lines actor Laurence Fox was dropped by his agency for being racist.

Going Viral

We hit 250,000 American deaths according to John Hopkins which is a few days behind Worldometer’s count. According to Worldometer, we are on the verge of hitting 12 million cases — possibly by the end of today. We are going to be hitting 2,000 deaths a day very soon. Probably by the end of the week.

The CDC has asked us nicely to not travel during Thanksgiving. LOL, good luck with that, science nerds. Meanwhile, FOX News is already pointing to COVID restrictions as the new “War on Christmas.”

Film, TV, sports, and other industry groups are BEGGING Washington for help with pandemic insurance after insurance companies gave them all the finger, claiming global pandemics were not part of their coverage.

Meanwhile, part of the reason we can’t get a stimulus package passed is because that Tortoise of Evil Mitch McConnell wants to shield companies like Tyson Foods from being sued by their employees for giving them COVID-19. Here’s a fun story: managers at a Tyson Food plant in Iowa took bets on how many employees would contract the virus according to a lawsuit brought by the family of one deceased employee.

This virus is having long-term effects on people’s mental health (and not just in the general sense that we’re all anxious, depressed, and overwhelmed).

Guns N’ Roses seems to be optimistic.

Ovation TV is giving $1 million to relief for the arts sectors and pledges to give struggling organizations free airtime.

All Other TV News

After months of schedule wrangling, Wonder Woman: 1984 is going to stream on HBO Max on December 25 after all. It’s also going to be in theaters on that day, but for those of us who are not complete lunatics, we now have the option to watch it from the safety of our own homes.

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reunion dropped a day early, and Will Smith and the original Aunt Viv, Janet Hubert, met and settled their “feud.” I haven’t watched yet, but it sounds genuinely emotional — down to the first time Hubert meets her replacement, Daphne Maxwell Reid.

Ryan Murphy continues to tease American Horror Story:

To no one’s surprise, there will be no more Arrested Development.

Oh my God, Lakeith Stanfield thought Teddy Perkins was an outside actor. 

These NEVER. GET. OLD.

AMC is joining other networks in laying off employees as they “streamline” network operations with streaming.

Naya Rivera’s family is suing Ventura County over her drowning death.

This isn’t a TV story, but Jamie Lee Curtis is good people.
