You know, one thing I'm doing is just being patient. the intel. community, who Trump PISSED. OFF are lining everything up so when the hammer drops he has no recourse but to resign or face prison. Nixon was re-elected in 1972.....he didn't resign until 1974. and every day is a crap show of proportions that many have NEVER seen. a WH who lies with impunity, two PSs who have 10 minutes briefings and don;t say squat because if they do, the orange man that escaped from the zoo will get on Twitter and screw everything up. 

Please.....just give it some time.

Thank you for saying this. People looking for a quick fix to this are fooling themselves. This is going to take years. And it's not going to be public Congressional hearings that get the job done. It's going to be the closed hearings. It's going to be law enforcement (and as a BLM "terrorist" trusting law enforcement is not something that comes easily to me) and the intelligence community.

 

Even if I didn't trust the people in these jobs to be loyal to the country or Constitution, one thing I do trust is how they look out for their own. Donald attacked both groups. Comey called his remarks about the FBI "slander." Trump stood up in front of the memorial wall at the CIA and cracked jokes about his EC victory. These folks won't stop because IMO he made it personal.

I'd go one farther and say that while I believe Trump will, at some point, be faced with a choice between resignation or prison, it won't have much, if anything, to do with Russia.  It'll be over something else that is so stupidly trivial (at least by comparison) that everyone will be left asking, "You mean THAT's what it took to get his triflin' ass outta office?!".

 

 

I'm definitely number eight.

I hope/think it will be money laundering or racketeering. RICO means the government can seize his assets, including state governments. Even if the GOP in Congress doesn't care that doesn't stop Schneiderman in NY from being able to go after assets.

Tom Perriello is a good guy, and I think he can still run for another office someday and win.

 

Meanwhile, the GOP race is a dead heat. I completely take back what I said about Gillespie running away with it. I KNEW that might bite me in the ass.

Either would have been fine.  I voted Northam.  Having grown up in this Commonwealth I truly hope we've turned a corner and don't go back anytime soon.  15-20 years ago someone said to me - you're the South.  You're the Capitol of the South, you're Virginia!  You'll always be Republican!  I said *uck you.  We're also the most Southern State closest in proximity to the North.  You have no idea what we are capable of.  Go Virginia!

From the article:

 

"The president [...] thinks the possibility of being fired will focus [Mueller] on delivering what the president desires most: a blanket public exoneration."

 

I stand by what I said upthread: if/when Trump finally goes down, it won't be over Russia.  However, I hope even Trump isn't foolish enough to believe a "blanket public exoneration" from Mueller will satisfy everyone.  No matter what Mueller (or anyone else) gives or doesn't give him, this scandal, with its implications that Trump's is not a legitimate presidency, will dog Trump the rest of his days.

 

No one is safe in Trump Nation.

In other news: Kamala Harris is queen.  That is all.

My state--Maryland--would like to have a word with you on that one.

Steve Scalise was the Congressman shot. 

 

Regardless of how divided our country is, violence is NEVER the answer. I hope everyone injured there, and especially Congressman Scalise, makes a quick recovery.

 

This is very touching.

      It definitely flowed beautifully. So much that I was annoyed when Vanessa/Doug because I wanted to get back to the party. I know it was intentional to build up tension and suspense. It worked. lol. I'm glad it was there in hingsight because it gave us that great conversation between Doug and Vanessa. Foreshadowing? And yesss!!! This episode was sooo old school soap giving beat after beat after beat leading up to the unveiling of Eva as Ted's daughter. And we still have plenty of fallout/aftereffects to work through.   Speaking of...Bill, Bill, Bill lol. Good to have confirmation HE was the scary lawyer.   I'm sure I will have a busy Monday, but I can't wait for it. I don't know what I'm looking forward to more. Probably Anita vs Silk Press Sheila tbh. And yes, I feel they will be matching each other 'blow for blow.'

      And if they go there, it could also be tied to Johnny completely cutting him off, possibly going to work for Titan, etc.

      @AbcNbc247 maybe it is just that they've gone to that well too often, and I don't like when DAYS goes dark, but I'm OK with EJ abusing drugs, and just skipping the whole sobriety part. Side note: experiencing hallucinations of my son killing me would be enough for me to never want to take a pill again.

      Part of the reason that Courtney worked at OLTL was because the show had an actual character for her to play.  One that was somewhat different than her character on AW, and after the way she was treated over at AW.. it had to have been nice to be courted onto a new soap that actually valued your contributions.

      The show has finally figured out the correct scene to have at the end of the episode. The one thing I loved about the show today was that we got a pretty decent length scene of Silk Press Sheila at the celebration without any cutaways.  It reminded me of an old school soap opera scene that would run several moments (i.e. Renee's long speech going after the upstanding citizens of Salem on Days in 1983 before her murder).   I think Anita and Silk Press Sheila would be evenly matched.. she would be the one person that Anita would have to work to get the best of.    I do agree that Derek/Ashley were probably cut from the episode.. and maybe their scenes will be used in a different episode.  The scenes that were included (Bill/Hayley and Vanessa/Doug) had something to do with the scenes going on at the party.    Unpopular opinion:  I actually prefer Bill with Hayley.. .they make a good couple.
