You live in Montana, @JaneAusten? If so, right about now, I wanna nuke that state from the union just based off tonight.

Well I hope that the GOP knows too that everyone isn't Ben Jacobs either. Many of us will fight back and whoop their asses if need be. They better tread lightly.

I think that depends on how you define powerful. I'd agree she's more powerful on a personal level.  The thing I find absolutely terrifying about Trump is the sheer amount of military power he has at his disposal.  It's like having a two year old in a room with a button that could destroy the world.  Trump has the might of the world's largest military at his fingertips, but he clearly doesn't have the intellect that should go with that kind of power.  I used to think that we could at least count on Congress to intervene if he tried to do something really crazy, but that was just fantasy.  If we get rid of this bastard without some sort of large scale military atrocity occurring it will be a miracle.

It's called fighting back.

 

I guess you missed all the Leftist attacks of Trump supporters prior to the election. Or the Antifa attacks on the Rightist free speech supporters. How many Clinton and Sanders supporters were attacked? 

 

The left started this, the right will finish it. Just a heads up.

Well as you can see by the dick swinging above it's their default setting. The right wing is all about authoritarianism and crushing dissent.They prefer to rule, not govern which is part of the reason Donnie's been such a dismal failure. Of course, what Donnie also shows us is how many of these keyboard warriors talk tough then fold like a lawn chair in a tornado when faced with real opposition.Then they run around the corner and start trash talking all over again.

Maybe you need to expand your news sources beyond Breitbart and Daily Caller.

 

And I don't see anyone on the left justifying attacks in fact here in Chicago a man who was allegedly a Trump supporter was  beaten on the south side by black youths months ago and the entire community here called them out on their actions. They were also arrested. That professor was arrested by the way, while a new congressional rep said "I'm sorry" after assaulting a reporter(an incident witnessed by a Fox News crew) and gets off because he's a mediocre white male billionaire. And the only GOPer calling it out was Mark Sanford believe it or not.

 

I guess you have also missed the number of hate crimes that have increased mostly by white males by the way, ,including the murder of a man of Indian descent in Kansas who worked in the area, went to a bar for drinks, and was shot and killed because the white guy with a gun thought he was a muslim.

You guys who responded are lovely, patient souls. I guess in an ideal world, I'd be more open to trying to call out and rectify ignorance when I see it but it was simply easier to hit the ignore option. Tee-hee!

 

Speaking of giggles, I was reading this blog post by Awesomely Luvvie and have to applaud her for the new nicknames she's managed to come up, as I had believed I'd heard them all. The NATO G7 Summit Group Texts We Won’t Get To See 

 "Fanta Fascist" and "Mango Mussolini".  I know we're in serious times but I have to have a sense of humor, if I'm going to get through this wasteland of an administration.

    • NBC or P&G was even fool enough to take a full page ad for two consecutive weeks promoting this horrible storyline.

    • JFP has had more defense for her decades of terrible producing than many male producers ever had.
    • It makes sense that she got a degree in directing. I've always said she should have been a director. I think she works better at the technical aspects of the show. I think her problem is the emotion/heart of a show.  She always guts the heart of the show she's on and she makes decisions that stop longtime viewers from watching a show. I don't think it's sexism to call that out especially as I've said similar things about Conboy. I've called out Rauch for much worse. 
    • "Aunt Blanche" first appears toward the end of this episode, about 57 minutes in.

    • You're probably right. They may have just wanted edits of certain characters. Hopefully the rest is around.
    • Of course!

      I'm wondering if there were bits cut from this footage, because to me it seems that may be the case. At 11:23, Laurie tells her psychiatrist that the bar phoned and told her Mark got into a fight and needs to be picked up. It starts to fade to the next scene, you hear some different music begin and get cut off between the static, and where you'd expect to see the aftermath of the fight, we cut back to a later scene of Laurie in bed worrying about what's happening. The credits at the end also show that more than Mark, Laurie and Dr. Northcote should have been in this episode. Another character, Brody, played by Ed Setrakian, is mentioned but not shown. If this is the case, perhaps the original fan who saved this episode has the additional scenes.
    • Anyway… It’s a shame that the video that depicted Leticia’s death was removed from YT.

      I've never seen a trainwreck like this in my entire life. 5 pencils and 3 dolls?!!!!!!!!!!! (this little moment starts close to the 7th minute) WOW. THIS IS HAPPENING IN AMERICA?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   
    • Ms. Phelps holds a BFA in directing from Carnegie Mellon University, awarded in 1972. At a time when women were underrepresented in directing programs, she was one of the few women in her graduating class. To suggest that she possessed no further talents than completely changing the style of music used on soaps seems like a vast underestimate when one reads her online biography through an objective lens. I guess that I should be more clever than to constantly blame misogyny for these misguided interpretations of her management style.  But, I'll never comprehend why fans unquestionably align their opinions even years after fact. Post-modernism, and the ability to reinterpret context through the study of history, seems to elude this conversation.
