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.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • Thanks @Franko  @slick jones You may be interested in the Elisabeth Shue mention. I have to laugh that they apparently didn't even know Teri Hatcher was on Capitol. I have scans somewhere of SPW talking with soap actors about Soapdish. Some, like Mary Stuart, were not happy. I never had a lot of interest in the movie myself. 
    • I never had much of a problem with Brandon Claybon's performance as Martin. He has gotten much better though. While I enjoy his confrontational scenes, I must say his lighter, and carefree scenes from Thursday's episode are the ones that stood out most in the last 3 days (to me).   I agree with all of this!
