And let us take a moment to reflect on the fact that Oompa Loompa is now trying to return former Russian compounds in Maryland and New York to his buddies.

 

He's a corrupt POS. And one who has zero empathy and just needs constant validation. My folks have told me Watergate took 2 years before Nixon left. I'm not sure we can take 2 years with this arsehole and his filthy administration.

Funny that even with the 12 billion investigations on Clinton, the end result was always *crickets*.

 

Somehow, I have a feeling the end result for Trumplandia will be a lot messier. I mean, when even his LAWYER (for Russia) is now under investigation? Come on...

CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin was in disbelief when she learned that Hillary Clinton’s aides destroyed her phones with a hammer. 

When Boris Epshteyn, an adviser to Donald Trump, told her on air that the Democratic nominee’s aides destroyed her BlackBerries with hammers, Baldwin interrupted him to ask a reporter to fact-check that statement. 

“Evan, hold on, can you fact-check?” Baldwin asked reporter Evan Perez on “CNN Newsroom” on Friday. “Evan Perez? Hammers? Fact-check that for me, on the fly.” 

“Yes they did, Brooke.” Perez responded. “As he mentioned, there were 13 mobile devices and 5 iPads that the FBI said that in some way were used with her private email server, and they did in some cases just destroy them with hammers when they were done using them.” 

The FBI on Friday released a detailed report on its investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of State. 

The report included notes on the agency’s three-hour interview with Clinton.

Trumperazzis are a bag of nerves right now and I am so here for it!  Where's my popcorn.gif ?

If Fanta Fascist tries to stop Comey from giving testimony in front of the Senate Intelligence Committe, it will raise an Olympic stadium worth of red flags, must likely making calls for a deeper, more thorough investigation of Trump Inc's shady ties only that much louder and insistent.

 

As of the Orange-faced Menace's 'executive privilege' well there are limits to that as well, from what I've read. Trump can try to invoke executive privilege to try to curb Congress in terms of what questions they ask Comey but that's as far as his 'privilege' extends.  Ha!

 

And while we're at it, the government (i.e. Congress) needs to get a financial forensics expert to dig through Trump Inc.'s financial filings, if they really did a thorough forensic-type examinatioin, they're likely to find something.

Sadly by the time Trump gets done, the earth won't live to see another billion years, we'll be lucky if it makes it 4 years.

 

Who gives a crap about her emails, Bush and others did as much if not worse. Hillary won the popular vote by her own accord, can't say the same about Trump who had to have Russia's help.

 

You know if we had a new election right now I have a feeling Trump wouldn't have won at all.

He didn't even win the last one. He won the presidency but not the election.

 

People like the troll keep talking about Hillary because they can't talk about Donnie. He's accomplished nothing, except slamming Gorsuch on the court but that wasn't him, that was the Federalist Society. There's no ban, no wall, no Obamacare replacement, the Russia investigation continues and his every attempt to stop it only makes it worse (Hi, Robert Mueller!), the economy is slowing down, he made a fool of himself during his foreign trip, the entire free world has united against him, even pulling out of the Paris Accords only served to make CEOs rail against him. Donald is a failure on every level: as a president, businessman, husband, father and man and no deflecting to Hillary is going to change that.

After a slight uptick following his trip abroad, Dumpster Donny's approval rating is dropping again. In other good news, his support among the military is showing signs of deterioration.

 

Did I mention that the Trump administration has been trying to bury the 2014 report on torture by the CIA in the wake of 9/11?

 

Trump administration moves to keep full CIA 'torture' report secret

    • I’ve been enjoying the pace the show has taken recently. Things don’t languish as long as they have and if they are drawing something out, like Gio’s adoption, it’s hasn’t been as excruciating. Also, my nosey nature would appreciate less interaction with posters I have on ignore so I don’t have to click on “options”.

    • Okay...I'm just going to call it. Ambyr Michelle is the breakout star of this show with the young set hands down! There is no character like Eva that pulls my heart strings, and she's playing it perfectly. If Eva and Leslie are on, it's a good episode! If written properly, Eva and Kat's rivalry is one that could go on for YEARS. Of course, it's fun to speculate about who is really whom, but I could see them developing as frenemies after some time. They really need a guy to tussle over to amp it up. Tomas is pretty, but the actor has got to loosen up some in his scenes, I think. He is improving though. It would be good to introduce a new young man in that story for a foursome.  Martin and Smitty finally feel like a real couple to me, too. Hopefully, they locked them into four year contracts.
    • I'll be that guy and say I don't think TMG is a fool. This is a popular contract role on a year-round soap opera for a woman of a certain age (to say nothing of a woman of color). If I'm her I pull a Kimberlin Brown and ride this til the wheels fall off.
    • Tbf it's not unusual for a family when they are dealing with some bad news that changes a life to use song to give out hope.Especially black families. I personally had to deal with that very thing this weekend. Partly off putting, but at the same time, I did get the point and it gave me a bit of hope in the moment.      MM is definitely acting. But Smitty is just so passive. It could turn into quiet strength at some point, but for now...passive IMO. 
    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not. 
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
