Jeff Flake not seeking re-election in Arizona. That is the second GOPer after Corker in the senate combined with 8 GOP house members not running. I do wonder if Dean Heller from Nevada might be next?

Not quite like someone throwing a pie in Anita Bryant's face, but still satisfying in its own way.

 

Flake: "This spell will pass, but not by next year."

 

Me: I'm not so sure "this spell" will pass at all.

Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee helped bankroll research that led to the 'golden showers' dossier on Donald Trump.

Clinton's campaign lawyer Marc Elias hired research firm Fusion GPS back in April 2016 to look into allegations of Trump's ties to Russia, according to the Washington Post.

Fusion GPS, the Washington-based research firm, then hired former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele to dig up the unconfirmed dirt on Trump.

Clinton's lawyer and his law firm Perkins Coie continued to fund the research until October 2016 - just days before the presidential election.

The research was previously funded by an unknown anti-Trump Republican donor during the primary, but Clinton's campaign then paid for it to be finished.

Sources would not confirm how much was paid to Fusion GPS, but said the campaign and DNC shared the cost.

Newt Gingrich would love to see Trump punch Maxine Waters

 

Just filth. Is there no low for these people? They already helped put a sexual assailant in the CIC seat. Now that want that same man to get physical with a woman? Let me shut up before I say something that'll have the Secret Service knocking on my door...

So in new released FBI docs, apparently a resident warned Police that Adam Lanza threatened to kill his mother and students before  the Sandyhooke massacre. The local police claimed they could not do anything and told her to contact the state police. Seriously they couldn't organize it? Doesn't sound like the local police took it seriously

And have learned nothing IMO. The party cannot govern and their decisions wildly unpopular with the American Public and is based on overturning anything that helps the average American. He’ll likely vote for the tax cuts for the 1% which is a tax bill only supported by 25% of the American Public per Reuters and just last night in the darkness and under wraps, voted to take away the rights of consumers to sue banks in mass. Every protection consumers have from predatory practices of big business are being taken away.

So this village administrator who hates Rohingya admits to not knowing a single Muslim person yet thanks Facebook for giving him the "true information in Myanmar".

 

Now that Mark Zuckerberg no longer claims to be an atheist, does he observe Yom Kippur? Because it seems that he has much to atone for these days.

 

Across Myanmar, Denial of Ethnic Cleansing and Loathing of Rohingya

Remember the Black woman who came for Jeffrey Dahmer in the courtroom?  If not for the bailiff and others restraining her, she would have given that sick mofo the beat-down of his wretched life.

 

My point being: if it ever did come to blows between Trump and Mother Waters, I've a feeling that Mother Waters could more than hold her own.

Authorities are told that a Caucasian male resident has threatened to kill and all they can do is shrug.  However, let these same authorities get wind of some "suspicious-looking" African-American teenagers hanging out in front of a convenience store, and before you can say "probable cause," they're there, at the scene, armed to the teeth with weapons and protective gear, with helicopters flying above, and SWAT team members, agents from the ATF, CIA, FBI, and NSA, and even troops from the local National Guard, all standing by.  THAT is the America we live in.

 

Yep.  He and Bob Corker want to pretend that this is not the Republican Party they know.  However, the truth is that this IS the Republican Party they know.  They just did a better job of hiding the fact.

    • If that is the case then it truly was a waste of time as I have not ever, even once, deleted or removed such a post.  The only thing I have ever done even remotely close to that was if I inadvertently posted in the wrong thread & marked it in the wrong spot with that phrase & then posted the content where it was meant to be. 
    • Based on script (and script alone), it feels like they're shifting Lois out of story altogether, unfortunately.
    • Lois should be seen more.  Away from this story lol!  With a sexy love interest!
    • Lois is there to [almost] drop the news of Gio's parentage. lmao. And plus, Rena is iconic and should be seen more!
    • Hmmm...Stefano being Benjy's dad is a whole other thing I suppose. Pocket would be (most likely) a grown man now.  It could be interesting for Phillip if he showed up.  I totally get what you are saying about soaps and adoption.  The minute someone finds their biological parent the poor adoptive parents are entirely forgotten about.
    • Thanks for posting that. I didn't know about "Invisible Man" by Ralph Ellison. I knew only "The Invisible Man" by H.G. Wells.   I just spent some time learning about Ellison's novel.  Now I have a lot of work to do, to learn more, to read more.
    • Because it wasn't posted here is the ONLY reason you can still post here. Numerous other examples were posted here, including, but not limited to, your insinuation of a romantic relationship between two actors on General Hospital, the medical condition of another actress from the same show, and the death of an actor from the same show (which you quickly deleted as it clearly wasn't verified, and still hasn't been), just to same a few. You are the reason I implemented the edit button time limit in the first place as you've repeatedly posted something inappropriate (as noted in my previous post and above), got called out on it by other members, and quickly deleted or removed the offending post before @Toups or I even got a chance to see it. As for Drake, I don't care who the hell told you about his medical condition. It wasn't YOUR right to say anything about it. In fact, your post on X/Twitter at the time wasn't worded in the manner in which you were responding to the news being publicly shared. You posted it to break the news. You even PM'd me and Toups, virtually threatening us with an alert that you planned to post it on the Community itself! The [!@#$%^&*]?!?!?! Stop playing innocent or victim. You are neither. Either post as you've been repeatedly asked to, or find some place else. I don't care.
    • Also, I recall the old analogy Max:Brady as Benjy:Johnson (and I guess Pocket:Kiriakis - but, you know I don't like it when they undermine adoptions by calling the biological carriers the “real parents” on soaps — Tyler has lived with his family for a long time now, he is one of them)
    • Frankie Donner and Max Becker are no biological relation, but Frankie took care of him as best he could until Shawn and Caroline adopted them both, changing their name to Brady. Max was mute for a time. Frankie is Carly's brother, which was a later retcon in the early 90's that didn't make much sense at the time. Kind of like Sarah being Neil's daughter, which coincidentally happened around the same time. Anyway, Trent Becker was Max's biological dad. His mom was said to have died. I forget why Trent had abandoned him, but I think he had scenes with Jennifer and Frankie and decided Max was better off with the Brady's and left him in their care without Max seeing him. This was the original story in the 80's. In 2008, he was reformed to be Trent Robbins, played by Roscoe Born. It was revealed he was Nicole's first husband, never previously mentioned, and that Max had a sister Melanie, Trent taught to be a con artist. Melanie obviously turned out to be Daniel and Carly's kid, and Trent was later murdered by Nick, to protect Melanie. Benjy was a deaf kid that Steve and Kayla ended up befriending. The first of Stefano's retconned children. He left town with his grandfather, Orion Hawk.  Pocket was taken care of briefly by Steve and Kayla. This was in the mid 2000's. He is the biological kid of Philip and Melanie after The Gloved Hand (EJ, and Patrick as his forced henchman) switched the fertilized eggs of Mimi, who was married to Shawn, and Belle, who was then married to Philip. Philip and Mimi ended up letting the baby be adopted. As far as the audience knows, his name is now Tyler Wilkins.
