He doesn't apologize because he does not give one single f*ck about anyone else.  There are days I still can't believe this terrible human being was elected our leader.  Then I remember the majority did vote against him, so there is hope for our country yet.

 

Next up tax reform.  If they couldn't give a massive tax break to the wealthy by gutting healthcare they'll just do it directly.  Still, I'll take this over repeal of the ACA.

Yep, that would be the stance.  To this day, he believes the NYC law enforcement community were right and just in their handling of that particular case; so, again, it shouldn't surprise anyone to hear him advocate for police brutality, especially for "illegals" and POC.

 

The truth is, New Yorkers, by and large, have despised Trump for decades, stretching all the way back to when Papa Fred was still alive and at the Trump Organization.  Even during Trump's big '80's heyday, the only ones who weren't enamored with His Royal Orange Gaudiness were those from his own hometown.  Everyone else bought into the hype.

 

That's what I think as well.  I won't say the GOP won't keep trying to repeal and/or replace Obamacare, but I do suspect that'll be on the back-burner for the time being, as they refocus on tax reform and other things.

He's a malignant narcissist. They are incapable of apologizing.

 

The thing about Trump's asking for police brutality is that it isn't in any way limited to people of color. He's an authoritarian. He's going to want that kind of response for anyone protesting him.

Add in many in the entire NYC metro area.

Remember, in addition that mansion near his golf course in Bedminster, Trump had failing casinos in New Jersey too. He also engaged in a bitter struggle to try to buldoze an elderly woman out of her home in Atlantic City for another failing casino to make up for the casino (which he hurriedly sold off) that was on life support. Thankfully, granny pushed back forcing the Orange Menace to stand down and get the hell off her lawn.

Only the people who knew nothing about who Trump really is fell for his double-speak.

When I hear Congress yet again talk about sanctions or essentially just go tsk-tsk I get even more frightened that we clearly have no plans about North Korea. Not even a missile defense system that can stop it or not a very reliable one from some articles.

 

I don't even know what can be done. I don't feel like anyone has a proper response, but at least if Hillary were POTUS there would be people working on something. Instead all we hear about is this endless Game of Thrones meets Glengarry Glen Ross bullshit. 

 

Maybe the military is coming up with something independent of him. Who knows. I hope so.

The state of the Executive Branch is in shambles and I'm annoyed that nobody is holding the idiots that voted for him accountable. They keep running to "Trump Country" for puff pieces and their opinions as if they know anything meaningful about the legislation their Fuhrer is trying to ram down our throats. I'm over it.

       about it I think Jan is a fine supporting part for a solid daytime vet (probably someone from the P&G soaps), as opposed to someone from the production location who is clearly cheaper. Which seems to govern some casting. I get the rationale, but I would start going through the ATWT/GL, etc. rolodex myself.
    • I dont mind Jan. She's good in the minor capacity she is used. 
    • tbqh I don't care about Jan, I don't care about Ashley and I think Jon Lindstrom as Joey is an acquired taste. Jon is a great actor but certain things are in his zone and then some are not. Some days I find Joey credible and compelling, but the stuff with him hanging around the Golden Corral, grumbling about Doug and bitching at Randy is not amazing. If he had material on par with what MVJ wrote for Ryan/Kevin on GH back in the day it'd be a different story. I do think he has real chemistry with Vanessa, which is in large part due to MVJ clearly molding that character (and hiring an appropriate actor) in the Lucy Coe vein when she reinvented Lucy in the '90s as well. But I am not here to spend 6+ months watching Jon glower a lot (which is what he's doing half the time to carry weak story) and make more vague dire pronouncements while Jen Jacob gets flustered and weepy over "Daddy" or whatever would come of that storyline. Putting them together sounds like a recipe for doom to me. But I may be in the minority on that.
    • I know this will never happen. But... Halle Berry as Dani Dupree(BTG). She would rock this role, it's in her wheelhouse.
    • When I see how bad the Ashley/Derek scenes are, I know there must be a larger purpose and Joey being her father is the thing that makes the most sense.  My take on it is that Ashley knows Joey is her father but doesn't know Joey. Maybe he was there when she was a child or just not around at all but I believe Jan when she says she didn't lie to her daughter about who her father was. Maybe she left him when she discovered his dangerous lifestyle.  I do think they could really jump start the character of Ashley if they hurry and do this. Jan is a great character and her scenes with Ashley have been helpful. This would further integrate Ashley into the canvas and give her something dramatic to do. With her working at the hospital along with Doug, it could lead to complications if she learns Doug is involved with her father. I just need is sooner rather than later because Derek is tanking her character. I need a distraction.

    • The stories are awful. I'm not enjoying any of them. All I'm left with is Sally in a plastic dress.
