Unfortunately, as long as Bill and Hillary Clinton remain alive and well, people will want them prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. As marceline said upthread, the media and the GOP have spent the better part of two decades (and more) training these individuals to hate the Clintons. They don't know WHY they hate the Clintons, of course; but hate them, they do (and with a passion). Also, it's obvious Trump just wants the DOJ to take the heat off himself and the Mueller investigation.

Exactly. However, in order to sell America on the idea of starting another war with Iraq and Saddam, they had to lie about finding WMD's in Iraq. (Which there weren't, of course, as folks were insisting even back then. Just as folks were confused and outraged that tracking down and capturing and/or killing the architects of 9/11 suddenly turned into rooting out and annihilating Saddam.) Frankly, I think George W. Bush attained the presidency with the idea of settling the score with Saddam. He had no other goals, no other agendas -- that was strictly Dick Cheney's and others' domain. All he cared about was destroying Saddam and toppling his regime; and he used the most devastating act of terrorism on U.S. soil to make that happen.

Ironically, Peg Bundy was created with Roseanne in mind. ;)

Agree. One feels the love for the genre that writers put into their websoaps. But, like the song says, sometimes love just ain't enough.

I don't want to get my hopes up, because pendulums always swing in the other direction, but it's nice to know some states have rejected Trumpism.

Also, his haircut is stupid.

Well, tomorrow IS Friday.

That's your opinion. IMO, GL was watchable with and without Long. However, that was because GL still had excellent sub-writers, such as Nancy Curlee and Stephen Demorest, who maintained some consistency throughout all the backstage turmoil.

Aside from Johnny Bauer's bout with cancer, I actually enjoyed watching GL during that period. OTOH, anything from 1998 forward was a different story.

Brexit has never made sense to me. Ergo, it's glad to see developments such as these occurring.

Agree. Many people played a role in getting us where we are now. Zuckerberg and Sandberg are just two.

Same here!

We can only hope. I'm sorry to hear of the allegations against Avenatti. However, if this means he's been knocked out of contention for 2020, then perhaps there's a silver lining.

The WH says Acosta's press credentials were revoked because he was rude? Who's their official spokesperson now, Stephanie Tanner?

It's the same old story: let someone from the right make a joke about someone's disabilities, the left cries foul and the right just rolls its' eyes. ("Loosen up, it was just a joke, quit being so p.c.!") But, let someone from the left make that joke, the right goes on the attack and the left just caves. All that "going high" gets us is another bigot getting undeserved airtime on late-night TV. Is that really winning the fight, ladies and gentlemen?

Have these kids graduated? If not, then I wish the administration would expel each and every one of them. Also, I want someone who knows these punks to identify each and every one on social media. If you're proud enough to throw up a Nazi salute, then you're proud enough to have the whole damn internet know exactly who you are.

I still don't believe they saddled Calla with syphilis.

Ugh. That fro. A very good reason why the '70's had to die. For some reason, though, her current hairstyle reminds me of her "Emotion" period, right before she was ready to come back to pop standards after going as far as she could at that time with contemporary music.

Frankly, I think that when it comes to the issues that affect Americans most directly -- healthcare, economy/job markets, education -- there's more common ground than the GOP cares to admit. Again, that's why the GOP hates the Democrats in general, and the Clintons in particular, because the left knows how to stick to the message ("It's the economy, stupid!") in ways that they can't, leaving the GOP to run on smear campaigns, (white) identity politics and bullshit "social issues" that ain't got jack to do with how me and my family are gonna eat.

Those days are gone, of course, because Trump's ascendancy has emboldened them. I saw it all the time as a kid when my bullies' sycophantic friends would bully me as well. To them, seeing the main bully antagonize me meant that it was "okay" and "acceptable" to do the same; and also, they were doing it, because they wanted to impress the main bully and remain in his good graces, too. They probably didn't want him to do to them what he always did to me. So, in a way, that's how I look at a lot of those who try to follow in Trump's footsteps. They're all punks, because they never had the guts to be this bold in their hatred of "the other" when Trump wasn't around; and if anyone were to be the David to his Goliath, they'd distance themselves from him and his rhetoric so fast....

Wow. I knew the vote totals on Nelson/Scott and DeSantis/Gillum were close, but I didn't know they were THAT close. I understand why so many want Stacey Abrams to stay in there and fight, but I am worried that what they're doing in GA is just delaying the inevitable.

Me neither! Moreover, people want to LOCK! HER! UP! for her damn emails, but if she'd been black, they probably would've lynched her ass by now. No, I'm not surprised to hear this about Comey. He tried his best to rehabilitate his image after he had helped Trump win (even if he will never admit to doing as much), but I didn't fall for it. There was no good excuse for dredging up her emails one more time right before the election. None. And now, this. Just proves that karma always gets her man. So, like you say, bye to him!

From the NYT article: In a presentation compiled for the PAC in the summer of 2017 by the Democratic polling firm Normington Petts, party strategists delivered an unambiguous assessment: “The strongest policies for a Democratic candidate are almost entirely economically focused.” In other words, to quote old Bill Clinton, "It's the economy, stupid."
