Eeh, any article that cites the New York Post as a primary source though...The Post is more of a tabloid to me.  It doesn't mean that what they report isn't often true but they definitely give me pause because they tend to rely a lot on gossip and hearsay.  I admit that seeing The NY Post highlighted in red stopped me in my tracks.

Unfortunately, as long as Bill and Hillary Clinton remain alive and well, people will want them prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.  As marceline said upthread, the media and the GOP have spent the better part of two decades (and more) training these individuals to hate the Clintons.  They don't know WHY they hate the Clintons, of course; but hate them, they do (and with a passion).

 

Also, it's obvious Trump just wants the DOJ to take the heat off himself and the Mueller investigation.

Trump, in his ridiculous statement about the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, feels compelled to mention, not once but twice that he doesn't take Saudi money. 

"I don't make deals with Saudi Arabia" (remember how he repeatedly chants "No collusion" with Russia?) Also, "I don't have money from Saudi Arabia". 

Yeah, that's convincing.

I bet it has. This is disappointing to hear. Facebook is a double edged sword, there are so many good things about it, and so much bad. For instance, before facebook, I suppose I lived in a bubble, and never knew the depth of ignorance of the American public in general. One thing it has done, give me big insight into Trump's basket of deplorables. That statement may have been a politically bad move for Hillary, but it is SO TRUE. In Missouri we have a free casenet website, where you can look someone up and see all civil and criminal action against them. The hardest core Trump supporters that troll facebook.... WELL over 50% of them  have one or more multiple things going on legally, One in particular in my area is a registered sex offender that was arrested for exposing himself to a 15 year old girl. I've seen hardcore Trump lovers that are convicted felons of every stripe and permutation, at the very least, they are usually being sued by creditors and have paycheck garnishments, or tax liens against them.

    • Randy (Doug's friend who works for Joey) -- Joey told Randy weeks ago that Joey's plan was to get Doug into so much debt that Doug would be forced to get Vanessa's real estate holding turned over to Joey, to use for money-laundering.  That's been the plan all along, which the viewers knew.  The only thing new is that Joey finally told Doug this. I think Joey is written badly.  I also think Jon Lindstrom is doing "Now I am going to act menacing".   But I don't really feel the menace.  It's too overdramatic and it doesn't feel like a real person.  Jon is a fine actor on GH, so I don't know what's happening here -- the entire BTG mobster premise is badly designed/written.  I don't know if Guza pushed for a mobster storyline?  Or did Jon?  (Jon wrote a novel about Hollywood mobsters). It just doesn't fit.  It feels (to me) like this storyline for Jon was just shoved onto the canvas but it doesn't fit all all. Monday's scene of Mona coming into the "casino" to check up on where Leslie supposedly lost money in the slot machines -- and Randy explaining to Mona that there are no slot machines, there is nothing but the card room.  I had to laugh because they had characters comment that it's just a card room and not a casino -- the show is now acknowledging that there's nothing there.  If they are going to do this, then have it make sense for Fairmont Crest residents to visit a high-end glamourous casino, and not a random room with one table. So what money is Joey laundering? A while back, Joey told Vanessa that he knows about her sexual philandering because owns the escort service that she'd been using. But I don't care...  I'd just prefer that the entire mobster storyline go away. 
    • I caught up this past weekend. The show is better written, but I have been bored with the show. I did notice it ranked in the top 5 again this week, so that's a good sign.
    • I can't take this show seriously. I truly miss WJB writing this show. Bradley didn't inherit his dad's talent.
    • Maybe if there had been a good close up or two
    • I haven't had a chance to view the interview, but I'm glad Mike didn't get the part of Derek.  Derek is a badly written character. Any Ben Gavin screenshot from yesterday's show?
    • Wait, what? So, Martin’s not running for President anymore? Just like that?  I didn’t expect this storyline to be long term but I would’ve liked to see it play out for a little while longer, or at least until Martin’s secret was revealed. And definitely not fade out with a whimper. Sort of like Naomi’s lawsuit against Bill’s firm; what was the point of it all if it was just gonna wrapped up so easily and (probably) forgotten about?  Eva is still the breakout character though. I’m looking forward to seeing where she goes from here with everyone, especially if the twist that we’re all suspecting turns out to be true.  And I did find the gambling storyline interesting finally, now that we know Joey’s endgame. I’d like to see it play out and to see what happens to everybody involved in it.  As for Derek/Ashley… I wonder how it would’ve played out if they actually had cast Mike Manning as Derek. Yeah, the writing isn’t there but I imagine that Derek would have more of a personality lol and I also imagine that it would’ve made Ron Carlivati’s head explode

    • That would've been a good pick! She was great on B&B and like you said, she's already in Atlanta.
