Yes, this was a good episode. I bet Uber drivers around the country were happy that Roseanne demanded a tip. I liked Dan's story with Mark too and of course Dan was right about customer service. Bev and Jackie were funny, but the underlying issue was pretty sad. We have a crisis with elder care and it's only going to get worse as more baby boomers age.

This is just terrible and sad.

I believe this will happen.

You called it.

So the Chaplin was fired in part because he is Catholic.

You crack me up.

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/03/rudy-giuliani-said-trumps-son-in-law-jared-kushner-is-disposable.html Giuliani sounds a bit off the rails with this stuff. Does he really believe America is going to come together as one to defend Ivanka? He sounds like he has a crush. "Ivanka Trump? I think I would get on my charger and go right into ... their offices with a lance if they go after Ivanka," the former federal prosecutor said of Mueller's team."

Gods below...

Ugh. I see what you mean. My take away was basically he is alienating all of our allies. The way Merkel was described as basically looking away while he talked, wow. . Not that I blame her, but she must really disdain him to show it so openly.

If it wasn't clear, I was being sarcastic.

^ Yikes. Meanwhile Trump continues to win friends. This time Merkel. https://www.politico.eu/article/a-desperate-merkel-gets-trumped/

^ I get what you are saying Carl. In most cases I cringe at ad hominem attacks. There are just as many ugly Democrats as Republicans, and hell, I won't be winning any beauty contests myself. We've talked about how some attack old people and wish them death, as if there aren't plenty of wonderful old people out there. In the context of a comedy routine though, I don't think what she said was that bad. I also agree that MW knew what she was doing. She has a show coming our on Netflix according to a CNN article. She went for her 15 mins of fame and got it. As you say, there are bigger fish to fry.

^ I don't even see why what Michelle Wolf (who I've never heard of before) said is a big deal? Don't we mostly agree that SHS is out there spouting surreal lies and propaganda on a daily basis? She reminds me of that spokesperson for Saddam's government. The one SNL used to love to mock, who was saying things like the Iraqi army was winning, while CNN was showing footage of decimation. Well, now the joke is on us ( or US). https://www.google.com/search?q=iraqi+propaganda+minister&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-1

Making a comeback already?

Lord save us. This thread details his bad behavior.

This along with making people work for Medicaid and food stamps is just plain evil.

It absolutely is clickbait, but that doesn't make it wrong 45 has been polling at about a 40% approval rating for months. Given the things he's done and said, I find that horrifying. A good portion of the population seems to be in denial about the Russia investigation. But then who am I to talk? I probably need one of those little shock devices smokers used back in the day. Every time I start to be surprised that Trump has so many followers I need to shock myself out of denial.

Even though I said this a few days ago, it still blows my mind. I just can't fully accept it.

And it was because he seemed like an honest guy. What?! Sometimes I wonder if I'm the crazy one. I just cannot wrap my mind around these folks think and there are millions of them. This is contemptible. So much of what the Trump administration does is disgusting, but this is just needless evil.

It's pretty clear she detests 45. I don't feel that sorry for her though. The only time I did was when I saw pictures of her with baby Barron. She looked so light and happy. What can I say, I hope the deal with the devil was worth it.

Maybe. It's even weirder to think that Kristen Kreuk is the one that recruited Allison. That set must have been nutty. When I look back it seemed like a lot of people wanted out. Look at the guy who played Lex. Maybe they all had other reasons. I can't help wondering if this played a part though. Pretty sure this show will never see a reboot with original cast members.

This is so awful.

That's a fact. I miss the days when I didn't realize how f*cked things are though.
