Apparently the "secret witness" that the GOP is relying on in their ridiculous investigation (of the supposed ties between Clinton and Uranium One) is a lobbyist for Russia.

 

Exclusive: Secret witness in Senate Clinton probe is ex-lobbyist for Russian firm

 

It all goes back to Russia. Speaking of which-

Kayla was 24 when she married 38 year old Roy Moore and it just so happens that she was a classmate of one of his accusers. That 14 year age difference fits with the age of the other accusers and he stated that he saw her some years before they were married in a recital. She is absolutely wrong for defending him, but she is the victim of an incredibly sick man and I feel it's important to remember that aspect. Not all victims escape their abuser and some become totally beholden to them. Let me reiterate that I am not excusing her defense of him, but only pointing out that she is not a well person.

Barack doesn't NEED to come back.  He worked his ass off for eight years.  He has more than earned his rest; and if we're feeling remorse now, well, that's our own, damn fault.  'Cuz he tried.

I think Chance likely knows this. 

The song is more like an ode to regret for taking someone for granted and realizing how life is without them. 

From the Obama "crush song" (remember that?) to this, I just find it interesting how many songs have been made about Obama from then until now. I'm sort of curious to see a count of just how many songs have been penned about Obama?

 

Valerie Jarrett, retweeted this and thought it was pretty funny.  She thanked Chance for all he does to support young people in Chicago.

And can't come back in any case. No one can save us from this administration. I don't even believe Mueller can, although I would love to be proven wrong. 

 

I do think he'll find wrong doing, but by the time he gets Trump out the damage will be done. Maybe it already is done when it comes to things like loosening these white nationalists on society. It's going to take a lot to get that cat back into the bag.

Archibald Cox and the Saturday nigh massacre didn’t save us from Nixon it was people. My friend Peter from Indiana who is a Trump and Pence hating republican has said it so many times to me when I complain about the dirty tactics. VOTE. Because even he acknowledges there are more liberal sided people in the US . He’s said for years if liberals show up in the same numbers republicans do, the GOP would  never win an election again. That’s why 2008 had the GOP so nervous was turnout but like the lazy butts we are, we fooled ourselves and let our country and Obama down by not showing up after that. Even 2008 which was high numbers still had 63% turnout,  that’s not really impressive but that it is for us should say more about American voters than anything. 

 

Virginia for example had had good turnout for an offterm election but it was still 49%.

    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?
