No surprise.

Not exactly a left wing pundit:

Holy crap.

Marceline always said it would be the money.

She's not playing:

Yes. But yes, AW, etc. fans were furious.

But the thing is, that's not true outside his (shrinking) base. The GOP Congress will not see it as a good thing. Nor will most of the public. The polling is already against him, especially on a shutdown. Now Pelosi has him on tape and has it hung around his neck. Sigh:

A lot of beltway media has always hated Pelosi. This isn't going to change those opinions. What matters is she humiliated Trump and came out of this unquestionably looking very strong - and they will report that. That is very important for us going forward. There is a generation of Democratic voters who hear Bernie's platitudes but until now have never seen what Nancy can do.

Wow!

I pray they take the out, but I feel like their government in power is too cowardly to do so.

That also baffled me, but they tried to explain it away by him being adopted by, I guess abusive Americans?? I never had a problem buying DAM with women but yes, he was well known to be a huge queen even then.

As the exasperating Maggie Haberman correctly indicates, Trump doesn't want a CoS, which is just another indicator of how colossally stupid he is. He sees the position as one for people who try to tell him what to do. Trump has allegedly begun asking people about their opinions of Pence recently. That is usually his lead-in to freezing them out, demeaning them and trying to force them to leave (because he can't stand direct confrontation). Good luck, pal.

I was a young viewer at the time with no background at CBS - I had come up with OLTL, GH and AMC as relatively grounded and mostly solid soaps for much of the '90s. The shitty Rauch lighting, tacky blondes, middle aged screaming people and fake kingdom drove me away. ATWT wasn't much better at the time.

San Cristobel was embarrassing at the time and worse now. Tacky, poorly lit blonde people screaming on a fake island that had NOTHING to do with that show and turned me off seriously watching it for years.
