Please don’t waste timr because at the end of the day they don’t care. McCain and Graham have made an issue out of the White House not enforcing the Russian Sanctions bills passed overwhelmingly and veto proof by both houses of congress and boom the foreign  sanctions office in the State Department gets eliminated. If these folks want to play dumb and act like folks don’t know what they are about let them. They are all the enablers and unAmericans who don’t seem to care a lick that a foreign entity influencesd our election. Oh that is until they thought Hillary contracted some dossier then the Russian involvement became a huge issue..

 

and Manafort has been dirty for years. I doubt despite the alleged outrage that anyone is DC is surprised. He caught up in corruption. He’s been corrupt for years. He’s also the one responsible for getting the RNC platform changed to be more Russian Ukraine and Russian Crimea friendly. Yet all of these things are just supposed to be a happy coincidence.

 

 

OT:

On a side note yes Shareblue is a highly partisan site, but it’s nice to see Fox News revenue plummet. Apparently due to advertisers dropping starting in mass with the O”Reilly scandal. You know the one caused by GOD according to O”Reilly. Remember the GOP the party of personal responsibility that is unless you are an angry white male, then it’s everyone else’s fault.

The Free Beacon funded the research and then abandoned it when it no longer served its purposes. (Think about that. The Republicans had information about Trump's ties to Russia and didn't care.) The Clinton campaign picked it up then the FBI picked it up and finally it landed with Mueller who, as we've seen tonight, is hard at work. 

 

The Trump trolls got played.

Yup.  I, for one, have always found it suspicious that the three states that experts said (before election night) Trump needed to win ended up being the three states that HELPED him win.  

 

At the end of the day, money talks, and everything else walks.  So if FNC's revenues are truly plummeting, then I would expect some major changes, both in the content of their "news" stories, and in the folks delivering them to us at home.  (Rupert Murdoch's sons have been itching for the chance to make FNC more CNN-like.  This might give them that chance.)

Apparently Roger Stone, a Trump backer and confidante, went into meltdown over the indictment on Twitter, verbally attacked a bunch of reporters et al and got his Twitter account permanently suspended as a result of his hurling slurs at people.

 

Roger Stone's Twitter account has been suspended after Trump-Russia meltdown

    • If the shooter is Arnold, I am not going to be happy.

      Agreed.  Again, I really like the pace of the mystery. RonC always wrote a shocking crime, then it would be solved only through exposition at the end.  I feel like the audience is being shown some respect by them carefully closing all the loopholes.  For example, having Shawn-D call Rafe to turn in his gun was a clever device to get Gabi to confess. As much as I agree with @carolineg about the odd shift in Sophia's character, this plot is starting to make me angry.  A woman is denied an abortion and forced to raise a child?  It is gross.  The stomach pains are a hopeful foreshadowing.  But, if she fakes pregnancy, or hides his miscarriage, I am going to scream!!! Roman continues to be a mench, but I have to admit that I can never keep track of the difference between Max and Benjy.  I guess it helps that Benjy is dead.  Is Max still related to Carly?
    • If Sally Field had been more generous about the writing I would say that her assessment is really very fair. I found Soapdish very funny. The cast is great. Delirious with John Candy and Mariel Hemingway (and Emma Samms!) came out the same year and I had expected to prefer Delirious, but Soapdish is one that I can watch repeatedly.
    • I love SOAPDISH but I think TOOTSIE is better. Generally I am quite fond of gender-benders. VICTOR, VICTORIA, most favorite. 
    • On GL we only saw young GA's Philip in very short shorts but on AMC we saw GA's Alec McIntyre in a speedo.  But, on GL, an older GA/Philip is having sex with Olivia in a hotel room where Bruce Barry was directing & he & she both end up down to nothing but black underwear & at one point his bicep is covering her entire upper body so it appears that she is naked. I think they ended up on the floor between the bed & the wall. That was when I realized that Grant's body was better than Steve Burton's. (Olivia was cheating. Her husband Alan was in the hospital.) It is notable that I can speak with any insight AT ALL about these bodies since that is not the team I play for! LOL 
    • I mentioned that last week and I am glad Tate and Sophia just realized that today lol.  I think the show is just tying up some of Ron's loose ends.   You would think Brady, Holly or even Marlena would have perhaps pointed out the age thing to Tate at some point. I am not sure I like this shift in Sophia's characterization though.  MK played Sophia as someone who always defied her mom's rules-she just didn't get caught.  She was openly trying to steal Tate from Holly with no shame, showing up at the Horton cabin in bikinis to seduce him, and blackmailing Holly to work all her shifts at the Bistro.  Once the recast started the show has acted like Sophia's lived in her room, sheltered her entire life lol.
    • I thought Dante was going to put hands on Gio
    • If Jordan never appeared again, I would absolutely not notice or miss her.  So, while Brook Kerr has her flaws, she at least appears to have a pulse and a personality as Portia.
    • That's because India, or the India MKA ended up playing, was created due to the fact that both she and Kristi Farrell were liked by TPTB, but the part they both read for didn't exactly fit either one of them so the show created two brand new characters for both actresses to play (India and Roxie) and opted not to cast the character they were intending to cast (A cousin of Beth's). I think that's why the show seemed to struggle at first with how to write both India and Roxie in their first months on the show because the characters weren't ever intended to exist.  And yes.. Grant A had a great body... but I didn't find him hot when he was playing Phillip.. only when he was playing Alec on AMC which baffles me since it was the same actor in both parts LOL  
    • I shared this on Twitter and good grief the comments. Steffy fans can be such vile real-life human beings over a fictional character lol.  
    • I remember Michael Logan interviewed L.A. actors/production staff about the movie. Susan Seaforth Hayes said she was dying to know Susan Lucci's reaction.
