He was always excellent on SNL as well. A well-rounded talented guy.

Hint: It was a politically-motivated witch-hunt against Baldwin.

TBH, I didn't follow the trial closely. I was aware that the death had occurred on the set of a Baldwin movie and that an amorer was part of the crew. In my mind, the fault here lies largely with the armorer. Her responsibility presumably is to ensure any gun scenes look realistic and that they are conducted safely. Most importantly, she should be sure no live ammunition is on the set. If she had done her job correctly, whether or not the gun trigger was pulled would be irrelevant. From the start, it seemed to be a pretty simple case to me that ended up being tainted by political motivations. Hannah Guttierez was found guilty previously and that is the right outcome in my view. I do hope additional safeguards are put into place so that a completely unnecessary death like this can be avoided in the future.

Judge dismisses Alec Baldwin's 'Rust' case after defense claims evidence was withheld WWW.YAHOO.COM In a stunning turn of events, a New Mexico judge dismissed Alec Baldwin's "Rust" case Friday, on day three of his manslaughter trial. The judge granted the defense's motion...

Some people just hate it when there is positive economic news showing the country is going in the right direction. They just want doom and gloom. Who knows what their motivations are for feeling this way. Fast food restaurants are falling over each other to offer new lower-priced items on their "value menu". Retailers are offering great new deals to get people back into stores. I know...it's just horrible 😂😂😂!

Another positive inflation report was released today continuing the downward trend. Great news! reuters.com WWW.REUTERS.COM

The shower side stage has been there for years. It didn’t get much use during the pandemic but pre-Covid it was used a lot on weekends. The duo shower shows by Thierry & JP was the stuff of legend.

LOL. Someone with an extreme political agenda needs to crawl back under that rock from which he came. He appears every few months to admonish other posters and then disappears for a while.

I was in Ft. Lauderdale for four days last week and it was mostly a waste of a trip due to the weather/rain. I spent most days in my hotel. The beach was empty except for Thursday when there was some sun. The worst day was on Wednesday when the rain never stopped for the entire day which caused serious flooding in several areas. Even Wilton Manors was empty at night. I did go to Johnson's that evening and I was literally the only customer. No dancers. They closed down around 9:30pm. I don't think I'll go back until November as summer trips to Florida seem to be too risky as far as weather goes. Just my two cents.

I’m actually in FLL now on a plane leaving shortly for Michigan. The weather in Lauderdale was a mess and totally screwed my trip. Florida definitely is not the place to be anymore. I can’t imagine investing in this state anymore. Seems like a fools errand.

I agree with this. The best preparation is to have a plan and the means to end it all. Cyanide perhaps? I don’t think I could pull a trigger. Trying to exist in survival mode doesn’t interest me at all. Really…what’s the point?

May inflation came in lower than expected...so trending in the right direction. This news coupled with multiple retailers dropping prices and gasoline prices plummeting (I paid $3.19 last week in Michigan) all suggest things are going well economically. I still don't see the Fed dropping interest rates imminently...maybe later in the year. US inflation cooled in May in a sign that price pressures may be easing APNEWS.COM Inflation in the United States eased in May for a second straight month, a hopeful sign that an acceleration of prices that occurred early this year may have passed.

At least two of the dancers at Johnson's FTL have had their dicks filled with something. One of the guys is from Argentina and the other from Italy.

Yea. Well she probably has a divorce to announce. Maybe that will come tomorrow. Check out this variety article regarding the tour cancellation. You can see the seat maps for three of the previously scheduled shows. Blue seats indicate seats not sold yet. Pretty wild.

Well it seems that many of the potential restrictions a convicted felon could face can vary widely dependent on the state where the conviction took place and also the type of crime that was committed. For instance, firearm restrictions likely apply for a felon convicted of a violent crime…but maybe not for a felon convicted of say a financial crime. Thanks to those of you that contributed constructively to this thread and stayed on topic.

I totally agree. I hope you take names of those that try to drag this into a not allowed discussion simply because they want the thread closed.

I'm not thinking of anyone in particular...but curious about what restrictions are put on a convicted felon. Can they vote? Can they travel out of the country? Can they hold a passport? Drivers license?

Turns out multiple retailers are actively lowering prices currently. Think Walgreens, Walmart, Ikea, Amazon, Aldi, and others. MSN WWW.MSN.COM

Kyle? You mean the one from before COVID?

I totally agree with the above. Amongst people under 50 in the US, lesser educated/low income earners are much more likely to smoke IMO. I confess to being judgmental when I see someone smoking a cigarette these days (less so if they are vaping). With everything that is now known about the dangers of smoking cigarettes, its amazing to me that people actually still voluntarily choose to do it. Flame away at me...but when I see someone with a cigarette, they automatically go down a notch in my estimation. Poor judgement and bad choices. As far as Vegas goes, the Park MGM on the strip is a completely non-smoking casino hotel...including in the bars and the casino. It sits between the Cosmo and NYNY...so a very central location. If you hate cigarette smoke, this is the place for you. Sometimes I stay at the Cosmo but do all my gambling at the Park MGM due to the smoke-free environment.

I haven't been yet this year but I was in Montreal in early December 2023. Things have changed in Montreal since Covid hit. Pre-Covid, I was a regular fixture at Stock Bar due to the dancer quality. No longer the case. I do watch the on-line feed and I find the dancers to be mostly uninspiring...with one or two exceptions. During my December visit, I only went to Campus as they had a better quality of dancers if you are into masculine and muscle guys. I felt no need to go to Stock as all my needs were met at Campus. Stock is a nicer club as far as the infrastructure goes...but they just don't have the best Montreal talent anymore.

Yea…Florida just isn’t the place to be anymore. Summers have gotten way too hot and winters are seeing increasing amounts of rain and cloudy weather. South Florida used to be reliably lovely from November through April. No longer the case. I still go to South Florida for Johnson’s…but I really don’t like spending my gay dollars in a state that doesn’t respect or value me. I wish there were more options elsewhere. weather and politics aside, I don’t know how an average Joe can even afford to live in South Florida now. Who’s going to wait on and provide services to all the people with multi million dollar homes if an average person can no longer afford to live there? Inflation has been running higher in Florida than any other state for a while now. I’m glad I lived in Florida when I did (the 1990’s) and got to experience the lovely winters. I would hate to be stuck there now given the plethora of horrors going on now.

I'm not surprised. Ex-con. His look. All the tattoos. Labeling himself as "straight" although, by his own admission, he is mostly into trans-gurls. I would have guessed from the get-go it could be problematic.

I disagree! It's like announcing a pregnancy before you're even pregnant!😁

Anyone with plans to travel to Porto Alegre Brazil in the next six months should rethink their plans. Parts of the city are under water after historic rain and flooding during the last few weeks. Hundreds dead or missing and over half a million displaced from their homes. Flood waters may take a month to recede and POA airport is under water and closed. Some estimates are that the airport may not re-open until September. reuters.com WWW.REUTERS.COM Airport terminal completely flooded:
