Threatened him? GMAB. Schumer is a willing accomplice. That's pretty obvious at this point. He's gotten a lot himself out of this presidency and it was his aggressive push that helped move the administration towards moving the embassy to Jerusalem. I'm not a Greenwald fan, but damn he's right, the senate agrees on far more than they disagree on including the monstrous military giveaways.

Threatened him with various punishments in Congress and from the White House, and so on, not with kneecaps. Schumer is too passive but this just seems very convenient to me, especially after all the bruising high-profile fights the GOP has already had over nominees. 

 

I guess maybe the handful of red state Democrats who actually have any chance of winning reelection could have also asked him to agree.

It was really sad.  It was also a little contradictory.  I agreed with him that it was too hard to watch the whole thing, but not that it was an embarrassment to (Kan)Ye's deceased mother or AA people in general.  We were watching mental illness on display as some kind of sick entertainment.

I avoided the entire spectacle. Didn't watch one bit of video and skipped over any reference of Kanye or Trump, whom I've both blocked on my social media. 

So strange how the Republicans/conservatives used to attack the Democrats over how many celebrities they were seen in the company of.  Now you have the likes of Kid Rock and Kanye in the Oval office.   

I just have no desire to witness this slow-moving train wreck play out in front of me.  Excuse me, while I avert my gaze.

      RIP Chris Robinson- his Jason Frame was one of AW’s better villains.  Jason’s murder mystery was one of AW’s best- practically the entire cast was a suspect!

    • She might be using Anita like she planned to do before. If so, I suspect Tracy is not in on it. I'm not sure if this was revealed yet - I didn't watch 6/11 yet.

    • I feel like they have already been rested as it is. I've rarely seen a cancer story for a major character treated as casually as it was with Alfie. I would probably write him out and have Kat on her own as they seem to have no ability to write for a serious Alfie or to rein Shane in.
    • I hate to say it: but, at this point, I'd marry off Alfie and Kat, and then rest them off-canvas for a period of time.
    • Oh, I hear what you're saying. People these days will follow anyone whether they have substance or not. 
    • @Liberty City @MichaelGL I could believe the possible spoiler about another landlady as Kat seems likely temporary/placeholder to me.  I don't hate the idea of Kat being in the Vic, especially as the overhyped drag parody that is Elaine (even if they have belatedly tried to humanize her) and dullard George and his dull children do nothing for me. I just wish Kat was in a stronger place. They have shown so little of her in the last few years in stories that should have been stronger than they are, and it's not just because of Jessie's suspensions or injury breaks.
    • Yep, when Kim was bonked over the head during the harrowing tornado, she was in love with that grinning, happy, big-haired Dan who looked as though he belonged on The Brady Bunch.  (Reilly) By the time she finally regained her memory fully and shook herself free of John Dixon (didn't she get pregnant with Andy during all of this?), she was stuck with that sad-eyed, grouchier Dan who'd been Dan several years earlier (Colenback).  The Bolivia trip was probably the switchover.   
    • I'm clinging to the fact that it was Jill in charge when GV last got "treatment" from GH. Praying he has no reason to blame Frank. Love2Hate Drew seems multiple choice: redemption or discovery of his not-Drewness which means they've got Drew tucked somewhere, probably where NotBritt has been kept. I have only one thing to say about JJ. Clearly he has a future in PR or politics. Who knew he could tell a tale so well?
    • That was such a mess in general but barely felt like it was about Monica. Hopefully her funeral will be.
