I never believed he wouldn’t pardon anyone but I do think with several such as Kuschner and Trump Jr. who would be the most,likely to be pardoned, will be up being prosecuted in New York if it happens, where Trump has no pardoning authority. There has been rumors that Mueller is in fact working with AG Schneiderman in NY.

So crooked Scott Walker in Wisconsin backed into a corner decided he actually needs to hold special elections in Wisconsin, after attempts to delay knowing seats may goto Democrats. There was talk that the Wisconsin legislature was going to change the law in lieu of the courts order here, but apparently they dropped that as well.  A minor victory but every battle matters. http://www.wbay.com/content/news/The-Latest-Wisconsin-DOJ-appeals-special-elections-order-478177563.html

Scott Pruitt may be the Trump Cabinet member I dislike most (which is saying a lot). And this is a very odd story about him:

Another story, not about Pruitt, but federal workers talk about the atmosphere.

Honestly...?  Although I'm sure to eat my words sooner rather than later, even Scott [!@#$%^&*] Pruitt couldn't be any worse than what we've got right now.  Things are so bad under our current, lame-duck governor that a teacher and state employee walkout over education funding, or the lack thereof, is set to happen on Monday (4/1), cutting the current school year short by over a month, with NO way of knowing when the state legislature and the educators' union will arrive at some consensus.  (And given the fact that every year for the past several has seen this state in a HUGE economic crisis, with the legislators unable to come up with anything beyond a mere Band-Aid to remedy our situation...well, let's just say, something tells me that the new school year is going to begin with our teachers STILL on strike.)

 

In fact, now that I think about it, I'm hard-pressed to think of even ONE governor in our state's history who wasn't incompetent on some level.  But, it never really matters, because no matter WHO is in charge here, or on which side of the political aisle they stand on, the fact of the matter is that they're still presiding over the state of Oklahoma, which has been hanging on by a proverbial thread for DECADES.

    • That's a name I haven't heard in a minute. Thanks! 
    • Well, since I'm still up unexpected past my growing-into-it bedtime. lol.   I finally got to rewatch Monday's. I even rewatched Friday's to take it all in. Now that we got the reveal and hit the climax of the SilkPress Sheila storyline, now we get to watch the aftermath and/or turns that come with its climax. So far, so good. Friday left us with three cliffhangers. And what I found surprising was how I felt about them over a rewatch.    I know some of you all felt a way about the dialogue during Kat vs Eva. I remember liking it more the first time around and it was nice for them to have these scenes to establish more of a frenemy vibe for them going forward. That still held up. But I found myself agreeing with you all about that dialogue. lol. Still, it was nice to have both of their POVs.   Second up was Silk Press Sheila vs the Duprees. And I was happy to get a brief spat with Dani in there. But the rest standouts for me was Anita and Martin. Haters can hate and given the tail end of the episode, I will agree to a fault, but Brandon has impressed and he was on fire on Monday and had great subtle work on Friday. And that subtle work made it all the better. Like I believe I said when I was watching...BC has a much better grip on his character and seems to be realizing what his tics are so has started to be able to know when to turn it up and when to dial it down. And for the most part (emphasis on most), he got that. Meanwhile, TT was giving fierceness, and I was here for every minute of it. Her reading SilkPress. Her being quip about it. Her 'BE STILL.' Ooooo she had a chokehold on me as Anita gave what I was expecting her to SilkPress. WORTH THE WAIT. I also loved Vernon's CHOOSE SILENCE. I wonder though if SilkPress will figure out Martin's condition from her observing Anita and Vernon with him.   And speaking of worth it...Oooo YES Nicole vs Ted was worth totally worth it. Oooooo I knew DD would nail it, and it was all so well done. The fight between the part of Nicole who is a therapist vs Nicole as a woman who wants to express how she feels. And being so angry. And how there would be moments when it would shoot out of her. And how she would restrain herself. But how she felt she should not be restrain. Just the levels of processing and layers. And DD played it all so well. I do wish Maurice gave just a little bit more, but overall, I thought he did a good job even if it was just Ted coming across as a deadbeat and not at all redeemable. And Kat being there for her mother was so beautiful.   Minority, but I love the montage though yes, it did run a little long. Given how the Duprees like to bond (and also as I mentioned from my own very recent family experiences), it did not seem out of place to me.     That said...let's see how the aftermath worked in today's episode. Overall. Cuz RC can be hit or miss. 
    • I wonder whose brilliant (

    • The show is done. It got canceled at the end of January. https://www.soapoperanetwork.com/2025/02/fox-first-run-cancels-dish-nation-person-place-or-thing-pictionary-759232
    • I believe it. ESPECIALLY that last one. 
    • Aristotle Dumas. Just thought I'd throw that out there!
