Ironically, these people LOVE to invoke the Declaration of Independence, yet whenever it's quoted back TO them, they have no clue what you're talking about or where it's coming from.  This is America, ladies and gentlemen.  This is us.

 

Never come between an American citizen and a day off from work.

It's really not good that we have a current administration seemingly unconcerned with being technologically safe and up to date. It's doubtful that the man who has promised to shift this country back to the era of coal being the top energy resource would even care about proper cybersafety or being ahead of the hackers.

 

This should be worrisome to people.

Rebel TV operative Laura Loomer,

 

Laura Loomer??

 

What a frightening world when activists have names that sound like Earth-2 Superman's love interests. 

 

Thanks as always for posting this stuff (you and @DramatistDreamer and so many others). I do feel for the people at CNN having to deal with this. It looks like Zucker, who unleashed so much of this stuff in the first place, will finally get the boot from the network. It's for the best if he does. I'm sure he'll just go back to NBC. They're a good fit...

To the surprise of no one, Walter Shaub, the director of the Office of Government Ethics has resigned.  One of his reasons is that after requesting that Trump liquid his assets, Trump has still not done it, to this day, leaving the appearance of a constant conflict of interest.  Here is his letter of resignation.

 I feel for the families getting threats but I have no sympathy for CNN as an organization. They worked harder than anybody to elevate Donnie. I kind of enjoy watching them hoisted on their own petard. I do hope Zucker gets kicked to the curb.

    • A degree does not make one an expert at their job, it just shows that you can follow directions from a technical standpoint.  It doesn't mean that they're creative. JFP was all about the look of a show without considering that technical beauty can only carry a show so far if there is nothing interesting to go along with it.  Equality means calling out flaws equally in both genders. 
    • NBC or P&G was even fool enough to take a full page ad for two consecutive weeks in TV Guide 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.
