Trump says of Reince Priebus: "It took us all about five years to figure out how the hell to pronounce his name."
— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) October 25, 2018It is very weird to watch Trump speak in this tone at a rally, and to avoid most of his gleeful personal disparaging of people. That's so much of the schtick. https://t.co/2UtwiT2ZoJ

NEW: Spy agencies have learned China/Russia have intercepted calls Trump makes from his cell. China is using the info to influence US trade policy. Trump has been told he's being monitored, but refuses to stick to secure line. @maggieNYT @AllMattNYT report https://t.co/aTsd9PqISO
— Yashar Ali (@yashar) October 24, 2018Trump: "The media also has a responsibility to set a civil tone and to stop the endless hostility and constant negative and oftentimes false attacks and stories. Have to do it." So...he's using a day in which an explosive device was sent to CNN to bolster his criticism of media.
— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) October 25, 2018Trump: "We must accept the verdicts of elections." That was all new language, and all in a prepared text. He concludes: "Let's get along." Then he proceeds with his usual stuff.
— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) October 25, 2018Just prior:
Trump: "No nation can succeed that tolerates violence or the threat of violence as a method of political intimidation, coercion or control. We all know that." He says, "We want ALL sides to come together in peace and harmony."
— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) October 25, 2018Trump: "Those engaged in the political arena must stop treating political opponents as being morally defective." He has recently called Democrats "evil."
— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) October 25, 2018Trump promises that "very soon," "drug prices will go plunging downward." The Associated Press found 96 price hikes for every 1 price decrease in the first seven months of this year.

I don't think they'll push it as a narrative. I do think they'll give the claim too much airtime when it's unnecessary.

Sara and Lecy were both very good this week, as was Galecki - the end stuff clearly means the David/Darlene/Blue/Justin Long quad is not over, IMO. The Jackie stuff was also very Jackie without being too goofy. Emma Kenney is finally finding a groove as well - I liked the car scene, and Darlene contrasting her parenting with Roseanne's both in word and action. It all clicked. (Also, Mark lipsyncing in the back cracked me up for some reason.)
Loved seeing Dan with both David and Becky more. Those relationships are important and haven't been serviced in a long time.
Like many, I also want more Geena. But really, the show and characters aren't missing a beat tonally from the original series - it's all the same stuff, issues, family material, just with a different configuration of leads. It's actually impressive.
Is Becky wearing Mark's ring around her neck?

TRUMP on attempted bombings: "The safety of the American people is my highest and absolute priority...we have to unify & send a clear message that acts of political violence have no place in US."

They have been saying that - just not enough, and not without the recurring false equivalence. Today at least, that hasn't happened (yet).

I wonder if the Berniacs will comment on one of their favorite Great Satans being targeted.
NBC News reports: The devices, which appear to be working explosives, were in manilla packages that included stamps and signatures on them with a return address belonging to Debbie Wasserman Schultz, according to three senior law enforcement officials. https://t.co/njixuizcvq

NBC News: Here's what we know so far
— Tom Winter (@Tom_Winter) October 24, 2018
- The packages are manila in color.
- The packages have similar or identical components.
- The packages all have a return address belonging to a prominent democratic official (we are not naming that person at this time in the investigation).0 -
Breaking: The package with an explosive device sent to CNN’s NY offices today was addressed to former CIA Director John Brennan, according to city and local law enforcement officials.

That is absolutely correct.

— Sam Stein (@samstein) October 24, 2018.@evanperez reports: Another suspicious package with a device addressed to the White House was intercepted at Joint Base Bolling in Washington, DC. According to a law enforcement official, the device was similar to ones sent to homes of Soros, Clintons and Obamas.
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) October 24, 20181 minute ago, marceline said:I don't want to see bloodshed because we've already had too much but I refuse to take to the barricades for these people just because their years of malpractice have caught up to them because tomorrow they'll be right back to rehashing Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky and chasing after Nazis in diners.
I don't intend to defend them, but I do hope this gives some of them a little insight into where the Beltway game ends. McConnell's fuckîng dinner being interrupted is really not the same thing.
WATCH: CNN had to abruptly stop broadcasting from its studio in NYC while covering a story about bombs being sent to the Clintons and Obamas because an alarm suddenly went off about a "suspicious device" in the building.

There will be a rush to pin these mailbombs on extremist talking points from fringe websites like 4chan and Qanon-adjacent communities on Reddit and Facebook, but Soros, Obama and the Clintons have been viewed as the root of all evil on talk radio and Fox News for over a decade.

Can't wait for Maggie Haberman to explain that demanding people not murder Democratic politicians will only make Trump stronger with his base.

Fate is cruel to me - a 1991 Dark Shadows alum, Ely Pouget (who played the Bohemian spiritualist revamp of Maggie Evans, a character change and actor I really liked), is doing GH as (sigh) Liz Hendrickson's mom. Why God?

There is something extremely distasteful in watching Haberman hang on Trump's words as if his raw abuse of power is a sign of his political skill and acumen. It's a mindless respect for power, prestige, and place that is divorced from its circumstances. https://t.co/f2DdWUzdEm
