Good for Tiafoe! He's facing the hometown hope Sousa so I don't expect it to be easy but then again, PCB was the defending champion and he beat him in straight sets. A great week for Frances but I hope he can snatch the title tomorrow.

I saw a clip on the news this evening and it looks as if her defense are still sticking with that story of the group being a female empowerment group where everyone 'chose' to brand themselves (he used the analogy of a fraternity where the members brand themselves).
He's trying to argue that everyone participated of their own free will, as if there were no victims.
He even used the phrase "No Coercion". For a moment there I thought I was listening to some warped Trump speech.

Yeah, there was too much tying up of everything in a neat little bow before the ATWT ended. In a way, Lily and Holden's "ending" was the most realistic of all the storylines (Bob and Kim moving to Arizona? Really?).
This is going to sound somewhat controversial but I think that tying up everything in a tidy bow shut the door on any possibility for the show to come back.
Many people hollered and whined about AMC's 'cliffhanger' ending but it actually created some space for the possibility of a revival (which it did get, at least for a season with the TOLN online version).
If I'm not mistaken OLTL did a similar thing (not as obvious) with the Todd/Trevor situation.

It's remains inexcusable that Hays doesn't have an Emmy.

In a way, I feel like the numb-nuts on FNC and FBC aren't entitled to be critical of this administration after being all "Rah Rah Trump Boom Bah!" throughout the last election season. They aided and abetted the criminal, so now, they either need to keep the love-fest going (and no doubt, some of 'em still are) or just say nothing.
THIS!
It seems as if their declarations are more about covering their own as*ses when the sh*t hits the fan than about trying to try to urge any correction of wrongdoing. The stench is now so foul that even they can no longer hold their noses and pretend that it isn't there.

Unbeknownst to the American public, since late last year, the Army's Green Berets have been secretly assisting the Saudis in the brutal war in Yemen.

"They appear to contradict Pentagon statements that American military assistance to the Saudi-led campaign in Yemen is limited to aircraft refueling, logistics and general intelligence sharing."

Another Weinstein nightmare account. Cyrus Vance has been known to be soft on celebrities, failing to pursue previous criminal charges against the likes of Weinstein and the Trump spawn but since he's still Manhattan County D.A., he needs to do his job and prosecute Weinstein to the fullest extent of the law.
I mean...it can't just be Cosby.

Boom. Giuliani just told Hannity that Trump paid Cohen back the 130k for the Stormy agreement.

Pointing a gun at someone in a campaign ad? What is wrong with this guy? Maybe the better question is - what isn't wrong with this guy??
By pointing a gun at a kid, @BrianKempGA breaks two key gun safety rules:

1) Always treat the gun as loaded.
2) Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.

I remember Lucy Deakins did that movie The Boy That Could Fly that The Disney Channel ran into the ground back in the mid 80's.
I remember that movie, LOL! She was also in Little Nikita with River Phoenix.

Now Harold Borstein (honestly, his medical license should be revoked) admits that he didn't write that letter that basically called Trump a perfect specimen.
The one thing that Trump is truly adept at is smashing others' careers. Everybody around him will soon be completely unemployable.

Very good points. Was the year the show was broadcast on the CW the same year the venue was in Vegas?
According to this article, the CW hosted it in 2009 where it earned an all-time low rating for the show but somehow higher than anything the CW had achieved in that same time-slot all summer.
Primetime Ratings: Daytime Emmys Hit Record Low On CW
Did the CW host more than one year?
Because the awards ceremony was held in Las Vegas in 2010 & 2011. I'm not sure whether that was CW or not.

Although I don't remember her much because I was so young, when I watch these episodes on You Tube or here, I realize that I also really enjoy Deakins in these episodes as well.
I thought Deakins would've have been as capable of growing and progressing with the role of Lily as anyone, including MB, although I am having a hard time seeing her Lily with JH's Holden.
I believe that Deakins left acting at one time for other pursuits.
When I saw Noelle Beck in the role, I couldn't help thinking that I wished that Deakins or Rattray had been contacted first but by that time Deakins was already a practicing attorney. I don't know about Rattray.

I think that in terms of production values, this year was the strongest year that the Daytime Emmys has had in many years and that includes the HLN years.
I still see people tweet-complaining about it not being on TV but it was on You Tube, if those people can find Internet access to tweet complaints, couldn't they find Internet access to stream the show?
The reality is that, it would be very difficult, at this point to find a television network willing to broadcast the Daytime Emmys because any network would have to "eat" the cost of producing/broadcasting for next to no ad revenue.
At least online, the ad revenues are lower but so are the costs associated with streaming. And I'd rather have a dignified show being streamed out than a tacky show on TruTV or some other outfit.

About that list that the NYT claims to have obtained from Mueller, there is a dissenting opinion from a man who was once on Nixon's legal team.
I have little doubt these questions were drafted by Trump’s attorney(s) based on conversations with the special counsel’s ofc (SCO) and should not be read as the questions the SCO has prepared for, and passed to, Trump’s attys. There is a big difference. https://t.co/PxoYIUvtZE

If it wasn't clear, I was being sarcastic.
It was more about the tone of the article that made it seem as though Trump now 'owns' Merkel somehow. Just this morning I read about how Merkel, Marcron and May met over the weekend to discuss possible retaliatory measures against the U.S. should the new tariffs take effect. Those exemptions are due to expire soon, according to what I've read.
On another note, supposedly WH Chief of Staff John Kelly called Trump an idiot (again) but wasn't it part of Kelly's job to get the idiot to gather himself and get some discipline?

Merkel, who has her own challenges at home, likely wants the path of least resistance with Trump/U.S. She can't waste time fighting small battles with Trump. It is unlikely that she'll ever consider Trump an actual "friend" in the true sense of the word, but she is a pragmatist, if nothing else.

Had ATWT actually finished strong, there might have been a compelling case and perhaps some further interest beyond just talk but with that floptastic ending, I guess we'll never truly know.
I didn't realize this.
