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 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.
