I agree.  He went to Harvard Law School and was Director of the CIA? What??? How are so many of these people with amazing educations dragged into the mud for this man? Maybe I should say they jumped into the mud pit for him. I truly do not understand why anyone would undermine democracy for that lying conman, who won't even do the work. He can't even bother reading his intelligence briefings!  It's like they've been hit with any idiot stick.

Pompeo was disliked even by some in his own party when he was in elected politics, but that's another story. Republicans have tried to undermine democracy for years and Trump has simply given them the opening to be more bold about it. Intelligent people will often engage a useful idiot.

Just reading upthread since I felt it was important to keep my sanity by not reading what He Who Shall Be Named has been reacting to his loss. I knew he was going to be a sore loser, but...

 

...THAT is what has been going on the last few days?

 

No words.

I feel the same way you do. These are highly educated people trained to do federal jobs for the COUNTRY, not the evil orange monster. I can understand why his kids would be cowed by him and afraid to stand up to him, but really. Ben Carson - a MEDICAL DOCTOR who should certainly know better - is one of the most recent batch of people connected to the White House to test positive for Coronavirus.

 

WHY are they all so willing to fall on their swords for him? He's not worth it!!!!

Trump and his cronies know he has no chance at retaining the office. This is just sabotage on his way out to instill distrust in the election process and to set up Biden as an illegitimated president to play to the fanatics in their base. It's nothing more than that - this country is so screwed up and doesn't deserve the democratic privileges it claims to fight for sometimes.

    • And her evolution was so subtly done. There was nothing like the depraved shows later on, like Game of Thrones, where they said a woman needed to be raped in order to find empowerment. The layers of Laura were what got me hooked on Knots, somewhere in the season 3 repeats. And I agree that her becoming a therapist would have made sense - look at how much her trauma over her mother drove her decisions early on.
    • I think that the problem with Laura was that she had grown to love herself and saw her value in both herself, her career, and her marriage.  She had this inner strength and confidence that Lynn/Bernard didn't know how to harness/write for because they were more interested in generating conflict amongst emotionally immature people. Karen/Mac and Gary/Val were all immature/stubborn to a fault even though they all had grown/evolved.  So the Latham's could key into their essence/history to generate the standard soap opera tropes and stories for them. Even the season 8 conflict with Laura's pregnancy and Greg not being cool with it didn't diminish Laura's fire and strength.  You saw how she was able to move on and live her life as a single mother because she'd already done that after Richard took off.   I saw her response to Greg's kissing Paige as 'that's my husband and I can't change him.. but once I find something better, I'll toss himself'.  She wasn't emotionally tied to him nor his money.. and I think that was partly why she was such a unique and interesting character in the nighttime soap world in the 80s.
    •   They actually had great chemistry to as friends in the scene I felt. A shame it was the first onscreen interaction. Looks better than Bill/Hayley’s house. I absolutely loved that! I feel the exact same way. This is just facts. Those scenes today between them were electric.
    • If The Real Housewives of Dubai is on hiatus/pause (a.k.a. done), then we need a way for Caroline Stanbury to come back to Ladies of London.
    • I hate quick snip scenes.  Such a tired hold-over from the 1980s.  And that nonsense does not belong on BTG.  Bring back the long scenes.  
    • Eva packing, thinking about how good the Richardson's house smells.

    • In light of yesterday's news...I figured it was okay to bump this up. And probably do a rewatch.

    • I don't really read spoilers, but Perry Shen seems to come and go so even if this is an "exit" it's probably not permanent.
