At least that video was uploaded to Vimeo. I couldn't bear to give clicks to anything associated with those pizzagate nutters.

I read that healthcare was one and guns was another. And from the stats that I'm seeing in VA, Black women really delivered for the Democrats. Why are we being taken for granted by the party?

Also #ATPFail, the organization is in hot water for how the draw ceremony was conducted, with many labeling it sexist. Why Amazon Prime?? That's so stupid. By the way, I'm not watching either and from what I understand from other tennis fans online, I'm far from the only one.

Justin Fairfax is only the 2nd African American elected to statewide office in VA.

And his approval ratings sinking more and more (and hopefully some more). Then again, this was the same fool that claimed that the ACA was dead. What a dope!

There was quite a lot of pressure on Cy Vance now to bring a case after he failed to do so years ago.

LOL. According to what I read, René Boucher (the man who attacked Paul) lives alone. When I first read about it, I got the distinct impression that this was a long-simmering feud that exploded.

We've seen villains in movies and many of us soap fans have even seen them in soap operas. This man is a real-life uber-villain! It's quite disheartening to read/see how many people (women included) were complicit in facilitating his criminality over decades!

Apparently,

She forgot one- Rand Paul got beat up by his neighbor, an anesthesiologist who broke five of Paul's ribs.

Wilbur Ross, Trump's Commerce Secretary, retained investments in a shipping company that has ties to Putin and the Kremlin. He claims that he didn't lie during his confirmation process yet he had these holdings stowed away in an offshore account. How very telling that after the global financial crisis, Ross led a consortium to bail out failing Cypriot banks-- which are very popular with Russian oligarchs, or rather their money. Oh boy, the corruption is strong with this administration! Commerce Secretary’s Offshore Ties to Putin ‘Cronies’

Has anyone seen HRC's interview on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah? It's actually pretty informative, she talks about Russian meddling, that dossier and how her campaign took up the research after a Republican began it as well as as the fact that, at time of taping, Trump still hadn't called/spoken to either the mayor of NYC or the governor of NY about the terror attack.

Many people try to make fun of the WTA while forgetting how wildly unpredictable many of the ATP Tour events (minus the Slams) have been, especially the second half of the season. Like almost have of last year's Top 30 has shut down their season because their bodies are too injured to keep playing. Paris decided to go ahead and make their indoor hardcourts as slow as they possibly could. Even Nadal wanted no more of it. As bad as Singapore's slow courts. Who the hell wants to play grinding tennis on a slow hard court where you have to slug it out, hitting like 30 shots for each point before someone can finally put the ball away??! And all those grinding points played at the end of a long season, no less? I just don't see how either the ATP or WTA can sustain their model when they make such stupid decisions like these? A shot-clock between points is not the answer either. Speed the "fast" hardcourts the hell up! I cannot believe there was a time in my memory of when the Australian Open had the wonkiest courts that had a weird bounce and was somewhat slow and sticky. Now they're among the fastest with the truest bounce. WTH happened?

That scene between Lisa and Lucinda beforehand (around 27:00) was pretty memorable too.

Read this declaration from Maureen O'Hara.

By the way, this "lecture" that Ivanka Trump presented in Japan was very sparsely attended. On the news, cameras caught the rows upon rows of empty seats. You know when there are so few people that everyone pushes to the front to make things look more full at the front? Yeah, that type of empty. Organizers tried to say that not everyone could get in but reporters who were there said that they saw no lines of people waiting to get in. At all.

The GOP is likely trying to divert attention away from that godawful tax reform bill that they're trying to push through, hoping no one will look at it. The House GOP Tax Reform bill is so bad, I've read that critics fear it will depress the numbers of those who pursue higher education, especially graduate studies as it threatens to eliminate the school loan payment credit. What do they care, as they clearly want a permanent underclass. As Trump once said he loves the poorly educated and it should be evident as to why-- the poorly educated don't command good wages or good salaried positions. The corporations can continue to build wealth for their CEOs while barely paying their workers--Trump Inc. included. LOL.

I howled with laughter when she did that! It was just so reckless. I guess today's daytime soaps don't have that type of budget to create that type of scene. The camera work in those scenes was so key.

And NBC/Access Hollywood needs to release all that audio and B-roll footage of Trump's awful remarks that they've been hiding. Reading these accounts of how many women were complicit in leading other women into traps with Weinstein...after the 2016 election, this doesn't surprise me but I'm still disgusted and disappointed nonetheless. As for HOC, I was ready for the series to be over for quite sometime, despite the fact that last season was the most compelling it had been in at least two seasons. Maybe because I watched and enjoyed the original British series, I always saw it as having a limited run--I didn't expect it to last as long as it has.

Yeah, that July 1985 episode shows Kim and Nancy talking about the dead body that Kim discovered with Frank Andropolous. I wish someone anywhere could post that Costume Ball because I'd love to see it again. I think I only got to see it once when I was a kid. As it is, there was only once brief snippet that was later put in a flashback that got posted on YT. (I swear Guiding Light fans posted every single costume ball or big event that GL had over the last 30 years of that show!) I've heard a few people actually complain that Shannon's character was too campy but there is a great episode in 1986 where half of the patrons at Caroline's get hauled down to the police station after a brawl breaks out at the restaurant. A brawl secretly instigated by Barbara and Lucinda. It was hilarious, at least to me.
