1. I hope this is in jest.

With everything that is going on in this country, you're worried about hair dye and make-up?

Everybody needs to step away from all of the depressing news, even if half a step is still on the personalities delivering it. I see no problem with commenting on a few other things besides what you think they should be addressing. Especially when OP is not negatively pointing out changes in appearance considered safe to mock, like weight or age.

OP-I did not notice a change in Weismann, but I have noticed changes in Joyce Vance. She is looking very pretty with whatever she has done. Another MSNBC guest who has changed over the years is Clint Watts. He has changed a lot in appearance since I first noticed him probably 6 years or more ago. Quite handsome.

How exactly does this address the issue of depressing news? This is serious stuff. Hair dyes and make-up discussions serve no purpose FFS

2. Joyce Vance's hair color has been darker too. I figured she's on a book tour

Maybe that's why. Had not noticed Weisman's hair. Hmmm...

...or just doesn't care for makeup, but she's probably not going to heed the memo.

4. I'm looking at Andrew Weissmann's hair right now and you may have a point. It does look different, possibly darker

Though I never paid much attention to his hair before.

She was dressed for some kind of event and Weisman's hair, it's partly the lighting and partly that he needs a haircut.

When I let my hair grow out, you can't see the gray, when I cut it you can see all the gray.

6. Is this really an issue?

I noticed that dRumpf's make-up was more of a burnt umber and that his comb- over was askew. Does this help us?

Sheesh. Not worried. He could shave his head for all I care…it’s just a simple question.

That’s why we’re in the lounge (vs general discussion). A place for off-topic stuff so yeah…it’s purposefully off topic.

12. I'm sure as they and others became regulars on the different shows, they spruced up.

Not sure the Comcast bosses forced them into upgrading their looks, but I do see a difference if they appear on set rather than remote. They have the benefit of on site "make-up" professionals. Joyce is doing a better job with her make-up, but think it is a personal choice.

I did notice a couple of the men may have addressed some graying. Again, there are a lot of men with gray in their hair who appear on set, so don't think anyone is forced into dying their hair, more of a personal choice.

I just read through the comments and saw that the original post was in the DU Lounge. I mistakenly thought it was posted in General Discussion. I guess, as a resident of Ohio and watching what was happening with TFG and Bernie Moreno, I was overly sensitive. Tuat being said, I shouldn't have replied the way I did regardless of where it was posted.

Had I know you were a Buckeye too, i would have chalked your response up to DDS…DeWine Derangement Syndrome. I know for a fact I’ve suffered from it many many times over the years and I know it can make the most rational of us edgy without warning. Lolol .
