Favorite response: "I think this means we're in the Upside Down."  (And I don't even watch "Stranger Things.")

 

John Kelly's either just as rotten as Trump, or he's ingested some of TrumpCo.'s Kool-Aid in order to survive.  Either way, I'm done with the guy.

 

Remember when Mary Hartman had a nervous breakdown on "The David Susskind Show"?  That's what Carter Page is reminding me of right now.

After the debacle with Congresswoman Federica Wilson, I read at least one article where there were quotes from people who had worked with Kelly at the Pentagon who stated that this is exactly who he is.

 

I think the idea that somehow he was going to be a moderating force on Trump was mostly a media invention borne out of desperation to make this president/administration appear more normal and less utterly dysfunctional.

That plus a lot of people, me included, wanted to believe that he was some kind of patriot throwing himself on a grenade. He's not. He's just another crusty bigot trying to erase the last 100 years of progress. I've learned my lesson. No one involved with this administration is anything other than a traitor.

And to think that so many people, myself included, took one look at Kelly's body language at the Press Conference from Hell and assumed he was just as embarrassed as we were about his boss' "both sides" hissy fit.  #ShouldaKnownBetter

That's it? That's your reason? Seriously??

You have no opinion about Trump or his politics, you like him because he's not Hillary Clinton?

Sorry, but that's just sad!

Do you think he's doing a good job so far, and can you honestly say that Hillary would have been worse?

 

I do agree with you that Trump's nothing like Hillary Clinton. She's experienced and competent.

Don't bother talking to a troll, just block and ignore like I do. Like most right wing devotees they can't ever talk about Trump himself and what they like, they can only talk about the opposition.

    • Max Brady is still in a relationship or marriage with his niece Chelsea Brady.  They live in London.  This was confirmed by Chelsea at Victor's funeral. I think she was pregnant then?  They now have a son named Isaac.
    • This is an email I received from the PM you sent to Toups and me, just two days before Drake died. That's not something one says when they didn't know his medical condition wasn't already public. You may have quickly deleted the PM after I called you out on having the audacity to think it was appropriate to share at all, but an email lives on. You clearly intended to break the news because you have no clue about what is appropriate and what is not. If you want to become a gossip columnist, as I've told you before, create your own site. I'm sick of the drama you manifest here. 
    • Feelings after a week's worth of episodes (and excuse me if I get character names wrong but I'm not googling so as not to spoil anything) Kim Hunter (Nora) is excellent. This is Emmy caliber work. I have no idea if she got nominated, but she would have tapes from this week if she did. She has scenes with Eliot and I'm curious if this is going anywhere because soaps rarely if ever put characters together unless they have a storyline planned for them. I hope so because that was a good scene. I'm still confused about Paige's past storyline with the terrorists. There's a spoiler surprise this week. The spoiler surprise was connected to Nora's scenes and it worked well. I hope to see the spoiler surprise with Nora. Are Paige and her bodyguard supposed to be in a romance? Or did she romance her stepbrother? (I think it's her stepbrother as he is Nora's son, and she's Owen's daughter, right?) April/Draper: Can't say I care all that much about the house issue. The mother gave part of the payment, so what?!? Draper is getting on my nerves with his macho nonsense although the posts here leave me to think he has a right to be upset. I like Margo so much so I don't care.  Sharon Gabet had a fun entrance in this week's episodes for me. She comes in and makes out with Eliot. She has a fight with a character named Sara who she then slaps. She comes home to a baby and her mother-in-law. Fantastic scene. I think this is Lois Kibbee based on looks, but I don't know the character's name. Kibbee and Gabet are amazing in this scene. I don't quite get the background (Raven was married before and cheated on Kibbee's son?) and I don't remember the new husband's name. I'm curious where this is going.  I'm enjoying EON. My only quibble is that I don't like the show's logo. Looks very cheap.
    • I feel like the fallout is going to be bad for Lois and I don't want her to leave town.  I wish the show could find a place for her that worked better.
    • The lies.

    • 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.
