Emmanuel Macron's party, La République en Marche, looks poised to take a majority in the National Assembly.  

La République en Marche is a political party that Macron started less than 2 years ago. 

 

Wonder what Theresa May thinks of this.

Speaking of Theresa May and the uncertainty in Great Britain, the British can take heart in one result of the disastrous results for the Conservatives, and UKIP (to some extent): Trump appears to be delaying his trip to the United Kingdom.

I guess Trump may not want to be associated with May and Nigel Farage because they aren't 'killers' right now.

A Guardian article framed it as though Trump were scared to go to the U.K. in light of previous protests and opinion polls (so he does pay attention to the polls, huh?

) from the British, the majority who stated that they thought he was "threat to global stability". 

 

There's a great deal of merit to this argument but in addition to that, it is also likely that Trump, consumed with "winning" doesn't want to be associated with "losers" right now and May and Farage/UKIP are viewed as the major losers of last week's elections.

Trump can't coordinate anything with Corbyn who doesn't want him there, in the first place.

You're welcome. I think the decades of reluctance had to do with the fate of the last clergyman to openly align himself with poor folks, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Lots of people admire him but I if any are honest, none want to meet his tragic fate.

I'm glad that some are willing to step up despite the obvious risks. What I think will help is that this movement encompasses a diversity of people, rather than focusing on one person.  

This also makes it challenging to focus the movement but there tends to be safety and strength in numbers.

 

On a slightly lighter, more absurd note-

LOL

@Roman, Whew @ Vicente Fox, he is merciless with the taunts and shade!

  That was FIRE!  

 

He is right about the sophistication of drugs being transported via the dark web and fyi about that, most of those labs producing the deadliest supply of opiods like fentanyl are actually located in China.  

Some of the most successful Mexican drug cartels use a system of tunnels (similar to ones El Chapo used to escape prisons) to transport narcotics.

Those tunnels are comprised of a complex and vast system of underground tunnels, a few of which where excavated before the U.S. was a country!

I also saw video of two teenagers who were able to scale the border wall faster than Spiderman!  People need to be realistic and stop believing the hype of what Trump claims he can do.

 

Whoop!

    • I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him. 
    • I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.
    • Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much. 
    •   Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year. 
    • Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go. 
    • Good morning, boys!  I figured that it was time that our Gio was introduced into the hotness thread

      @ranger1rg I even included a close up of his face for ya!
    • Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.
    • FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.
    • Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
