"A screaming comes across the sky..." And it all might have been avoided, I think, if so many of us hadn't fallen down the rabbit hole that was Hillary's e-mails.

And Kelly is out the door in 3, 2....

You would think so...except, he pulled this same [!@#$%^&*] before going through with pardoning Buford T. Justice. Frankly, if I were a Dreamer, I wouldn't unpack my bags just yet.

AFAIK, too, Trump has yet to sign that check. That's what I mean when I say I doubt TrumpCo. will offer Harvey victims much help in the end. I have a feeling the state of Texas will be pretty much on its own and that that will DEFINITELY slow rebuilding efforts. What Trump wishes he could do to Comey or Mueller right about now...

I don't know whether to blame the public's fascination with the Donald/Ivana/Marla triangle for what we're suffering through now, if only b/c it seems like pop culture has always been obsessed, to one degree or another, with the sordid, private lives of public figures. Johnny Carson's acrimonious divorces come to mind, as do all the innuendos that surrounded the British royal family from Charles and Diana's wedding onward. To me, it might be more appropriate to say the public fetishization of Trump that began in the glitzy '80's, starting, perhaps, with the publication of "The Art of the Deal," is what is responsible for today. Without that, I don't believe the D/I/M triangle would have had as much of an impact.

IA. Either she would become a bitter vamp, as you've described, NBA, or she'd have been a self-righteous shrew (think DAYS' Maggie). But, you know, one reason why I think soaps are dying is because "normal" characters like Carol have been tossed aside for seemingly flashier, more neurotic ones. TPTB don't realize that a good soap opera requires Carol-like characters as part of its foundation. Otherwise, where are the "normal" characters for the others to play off of, and for the viewers to relate to?

Exactly. For those who NEED it. And there are those who DO need it, whether due to disease, or injury. But I don't think JPS needed it. I'm probably wrong. However, I just can't put it past this administration to end up doing little-to-nothing to help the Harvey victims or the local law enforcements' recovery efforts.

Could this be The Bloop Heard 'Round the World?

But what do you want to bet (no, not twenty bucks, lol) that if and when she DOES find her way onto the $20 bill, she'll suddenly be sporting a "Just for Me" perm, a nose job and Jada Pinkett Smith-esque cheekbones? It's easy to see why: the GOP couldn't come up with anything passable, and people are so used to Obamacare that not having anything at all just isn't feasible.

Don't be surprised if they swap Harriet Tubman with George Wallace (and no, I don't mean the comedian).

Report: Trump To End DACA

He's echoing the title of my new book of essays, "They Shoot Black People, Don't They?".

AFAIC, those "Women for Trump" deserve whatever they get. It's just a shame the REST of the women in this country have to suffer with them.

Trump's Shrinking West Wing My takeaway: Vee might be right -- Trump hates being president.

Save some for me, won't you? Just another example of the "very fine people" on the alt-right. Conservatives STAY cracking down on racial and ethnic minorities. They always rue the day someone decided it was a good idea to let us uppity n****rs sit at the front of the bus.

Trump Wants Tariffs

Antifa wouldn't last five minutes in those places before community members kicked them out of their neighborhoods. "We're tryin' to honor Dr. King by staging a peaceful protest," they might say, "and then they bring THEIR triflin' asses in here, tearin' up [!@#$%^&*]. We ain't got time for that mess!"

It's that old expression, "They mean well, but...". I don't want to repeat marceline (again), so I'll just say this: I have a tough time dealing with ANY group that encourages its members to disguise themselves, regardless of which side of the proverbial fence they're on. To me, it's creepy af...and, if I must be honest, it's cowardly, too. Say what you will about the Black Panther Party, but from what I recall, those guys hardly ever cloaked their faces so that you couldn't tell who was who.

If this were a joke on Johnny Carson... Carson: "Donald Trump is so racist -- " Audience: "HOW. RACIST. IS HE?" Carson: "He's so racist, even white people all look alike to him!" Ed McMahon (o.c., as AUDIENCE LAUGHS): "Hi-yooooooooooo!"

Which falls in line with what many (both here and elsewhere) have been saying: namely, that Trump really sees his presidency as an extension of "The Apprentice."

We're just one step closer to becoming an authoritarian-ruled government.

Is the term "peaceful Nazis" oxymoronic, or just plain moronic?

Yeah, Tay-Tay's playing the victim card ("Oh, you want to speak to the old Taylor? Well, she's dead!") and I, for one, am not having it. Who (aside from loser boyfriends and Black people) has abused you, girl? And how, exactly, did they abuse you? It's as if she thinks her reputation has been ruined; and I'm like Thelma Harper, asking, "What reputation, you tramp?!?". 'Nuff said?

Why would they have voted against aid for Hurricane Sandy? Oh, yeah, I forgot...

Yep, just another crazy Friday at Le Chateau Trump.
