Don Lemon IS dropping real knowledge on everyone's heads.  For God's sake, we put a Black man in the WH as something OTHER than the butler, and we STILL have to look at the statues and the monuments that remind us of a time when that wasn't even thinkable?  You don't need to keep stuff like the Confederate flag around as a means of "preserving history."  You wanna see history preserved?  Go online or to your local libraries and read the accounts of those who actually LIVED it.  You do that, and I promise you, you'll wonder, just as we do, why anyone would still want to honor men who once went to the trouble of seceding from the union in order to keep "people who look like me" (thank you, Mr. Lemon) enslaved.

 

Meanwhile:

 

"I think his ability to effectively govern is dwindling by the hour."

 

Please, that tank was on "E" before he even took the oath.  Trump NEVER had the ability to govern.  Heck, he almost ran his dad's company into the proverbial ground, and on more than one occasion!

Believe me, I know Hillary is as crooked as the days are long; and in fact, she's probably a closet racist herself.  But there is NO way in Hell or NJ that anyone will EVER convince me she would pander to [!@#$%^&*] Nazis or hold press conferences as unhinged and undignified as the one we saw today.

 

Adds what Trump read on Monday was a "hostage tape"

 

That shouldn't make me laugh, but it does.

My post was meant to be sarcastic. Hillary Clinton is a politician. As such, probably a career BS-er as they all are. I get it. But with all of her flaws, I'd still take 1,000 of her over the likes of this...thing...posing as the President of the USA. And, yes, I did vote for her.

"The Council" refers to Trump's ever-dwindling businessmens' Manufacturing Council, from which execs are dropping like flies since the weekend.

 

 

Meanwhile, the WH staff, caught off-guard by Trump, are scrambling for (leaked) talking points:

Oh, I know it was, lol.  I'm sorry if I seemed as if I was attacking you.  I just needed to get it off my chest and your post gave me the perfect opportunity.  Again, though, I am sorry.

      Thanks.  Yes, I believe this is his first time with the BDWs.  Was O'Connor still listed with the BDWs?

      And her evolution was so subtly done. There was nothing like the depraved shows later on, like Game of Thrones, where they said a woman needed to be raped in order to find empowerment. The layers of Laura were what got me hooked on Knots, somewhere in the season 3 repeats. And I agree that her becoming a therapist would have made sense - look at how much her trauma over her mother drove her decisions early on.

      I think that the problem with Laura was that she had grown to love herself and saw her value in both herself, her career, and her marriage.  She had this inner strength and confidence that Lynn/Bernard didn't know how to harness/write for because they were more interested in generating conflict amongst emotionally immature people. Karen/Mac and Gary/Val were all immature/stubborn to a fault even though they all had grown/evolved.  So the Latham's could key into their essence/history to generate the standard soap opera tropes and stories for them. Even the season 8 conflict with Laura's pregnancy and Greg not being cool with it didn't diminish Laura's fire and strength.  You saw how she was able to move on and live her life as a single mother because she'd already done that after Richard took off.   I saw her response to Greg's kissing Paige as 'that's my husband and I can't change him.. but once I find something better, I'll toss himself'.  She wasn't emotionally tied to him nor his money.. and I think that was partly why she was such a unique and interesting character in the nighttime soap world in the 80s.

        They actually had great chemistry to as friends in the scene I felt. A shame it was the first onscreen interaction. Looks better than Bill/Hayley’s house. I absolutely loved that! I feel the exact same way. This is just facts. Those scenes today between them were electric.

      If The Real Housewives of Dubai is on hiatus/pause (a.k.a. done), then we need a way for Caroline Stanbury to come back to Ladies of London.

      I hate quick snip scenes.  Such a tired hold-over from the 1980s.  And that nonsense does not belong on BTG.  Bring back the long scenes.
