There were times that there were reporters that got pushy and wannabe-bombastic with Obama, he just handled it a whole lot better by taking quiet command without belittling or threatening anyone.

 

In fact, I've never seen someone handle themselves as poorly as Trump handled this PC and that includes Donald Rumsfeld, who I thought was pretty contentious with the media. 

 

Just a poor representation by someone who will be in such a high position.

Agreed, my friend.  The cheering section in particular was a WTF moment for me.  I couldn't believe it.  Of course, Trump acted like an incompetent petulant child.  

 

 

He is an embarrassment.  It's scary that this man is the leader of the free world.

 

 

On a different note, Rubio impressed me with his questioning of Tillerson during the confirmation hearings today.  I still can't stand his hypocrisy, but at least he's not blindly towing the Republican line.

Hm, Shepard must be ready to leave the network.

 

IKR?  But he speaks the truth.  No one will take Trump (or the U.S.) seriously for as long as he is in office; and Vladimir Putin, for one, is pleased about that.

 

At this point, I'm just praying that God keeps up safe for the next four years.  So much discord and peril awaits us, and it's likely that whatever Trump does or doesn't do, it'll take the next several presidents to fix it.  But as long as it doesn't end in a nuclear blast, then we'll be alright...I hope.

Same here.  It's honestly terrifying to think of what is possible with Trump's unbalanced ass in the Oval Office for the next four years.  

 

For the life of me I still can't wrap my head around how he was elected.  I'm still super fuckin pissed about it.  Grrrr.  (Sorry for the outburst)

Yep. I mean obviously TIllerson's nomination is an indirect help to Russia. Exxon Mobil can't drill in Russia now hindering them due to sanctions against them. But I honestly believe Putin's main objective was to help get that buffoon into the Whitehouse to cause the US to lose stature and credibility around the world and to hinder democracy and other democracies. I don't think there is any kind of desire for world domination. Russia is not Nazi Germany and their economy is barely the size of Italy.

    • After today’s rushed and abrupt exit for Summer I immediately realized that Josh & Co. were very blindsided by AL’s decision to leave.  Not the first time this has happened to JG either; see MM & HK’s exits in 2021, MM’s exit in 2022, and of course TSJ’s exit last year. Obviously JG and our executive in charge of nothing Steve Kent don’t have a good handle on casting disruptions. And Mariah having an offscreen affair is [!@#$%^&*] ridiculous!! Meanwhile Tessa’s blonde hair is overkill with the number of blondes on the show already. I said the same thing 3 years ago…of course it was utterly ridiculous everyone was mad at Sally for getting Summer he dream job (don’t ask lol) but there was so much the show could have done without bringing on the Marchetti angle.
    • Does the ball on GL where Philip revealed that he had forced Alan out of Spaulding count or was that not Philip's idea?  There was a ball on AMC where Adam revealed that he had bankrupted Palmer, I think (or was it the other way around?), but I can't remember who threw that.
    • Thanks for honoring Ruth Buzzi. She was a treasure. I'm glad DAYS let her have some fun. I remember Imogene Coca complaining about ATWT just giving her a drab guest part.
    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
