And if there's any doubt about that, one only need look as the twitter feud he was trying to start with *squints at paper*  John Legend and Chrissy Teigen as Teigen's incredible clapback at Trump that actually started to trend until Twitter shadowbanned it.  People continue to tweet and retweet the insult hoping to get it to trend.

 

 

Incredible how with a few well-chosen, politely delivered words Varadkar made Johnson look every inch the disheveled small bumbling fool that he truly is. Johnson can only grin and bear it.

I never thought I'd say this, but I almost feel sorry for BoJo.  Almost.

 

It's like...yes, I am aware that he is as incompetent at his job as Trump is at his.  However, when I make a sarcastic remark about Boris, or just generally laugh about his latest...whatever, I don't feel as good about myself as I do whenever I do the same to Trump.  To me, laughing and/or making fun of Boris feels a bit too much like picking on the special needs kids at school, something I would NEVER argue about criticizing our president.

There's nothing really to process.  BoJo is scum who decades ago planted the seeds that would bloom and foment chaos and discord from his editorial perch at a tabloid newspaper.  In looking so small, he is reaping exactly what he has sown. He's truly shameless, so I don't expect him to feel at all chastened, he will just carry on with his destructive plans. 

 

Feeling sorry for him is a complete waste of time.  My sympathies are with the children whose food insecurity will only worsen or the average person (who didn't vote for Leaving the E.U.) who won't know where to get their medicine, their groceries and will find their lives disrupted because of the perilous state of things with the single market being swept away.  My sympathies are with the immigrants who spent damn near all their lives helping to build England, only to have their citizenship denied because they were lied to and told that they could enter as Commonwealth citizens on their parents passports, only to be discarded like garbage (I know he wasn't PM when this happened but he was still a member of the party and fomented anti-immigrant sentiment for well over two decades).

 

Boris Johnson is trash, f*ck him.  A thrashing (politically and physically) is the least he deserves.  When your own brother abandons you and your political party out of disgust, you don't deserve anybody's sympathy.

 

 

Speaking of those who don't deserve our sympathy,

This certainly couldn't have been unexpected but I guess it's news?

That's the trouble with living in the Age of Trump.  No matter how absurd an idea might seem, the chance of this administration putting that idea into action is greater than it should be.

 

IOW, I put nothing past him, or his "people."  Not even targeting the mentally ill (which, if you'll recall, Hitler did, too).  And I don't care if THAT sounds "crazy," because, these days, what is and is not "crazy" is nearly impossible to discern.

That's an infringement on rights, but it's not an infringement on the 2nd Amendment so it's ok. The fact that this has even been proposed shows how backwards gun nuts are. Reasonable gun control is supposedly unconstitutional, but monitoring people because of a medical condition isn't.

    • Incline walking Weights  Sprints. I just saved you that click on the article.
    • lol.   I mean...I wouldn't mind his workout secrets. But NOPE on anything insta.    
    • I saw this earlier and had to piggyback to it.   I mentioned before how they love to give characters shades of grey on this show which I love. And with Dani, they have always shifted her between protagonist and antagonist since Week 1. Having good nice moments...and then her over-the-top moments. I still holler every time I see a gif of her mugshot-turn-photoshoot. It's why she's so divisive in my opinion. Just look at this board. Dani actually been background for a month and a half now and people still feel a way just looking at her. Just wait until she's truly back in an A story.

          In any case, when we do see Dani...she's not doing anything over-the-top or crazy. She really hasn't done anything but sex up Andre which is scandalous while slowly catching feelings...but is quite C plot really. She's trying to start her business. Again...C plot for now. She's being there for family members. Nothing crazy, but a litttle too nice for a livewire such as herself as established in Week 1 and when she broke into Bill and Hayley's house so it's about time for the writers to put her back in that 'annoying' over-the-top way. I don't like it myself, but she is overdue one of her shifts the writers do with her so it is not surprising.
    • Emma, FTW!!!!!! Her words today to Joss were beautiful. And so well deserved!

      If only Cam had been the one to say it
    • -- Laura to Sonny: "I will always love and respect you." GAG ME. This stuff doesn't lead me to respect Sonny more, but to respecting Laura less. -- Carly being brought into the Gio/Brook Lynn story by Lulu. GAG ME. Why does Carly have to be a part of every damn story on this show?
    • This episode was probably the most we've ever seen of Jan.. and it took long enough. The phone conversation between Jan/Ashley also shed light on their backstory.. and I think it explains why Ashley seems to live in a dreamworld and why she's having difficulties with living with Derek.  Derek could be doing everything right and Ashley would still have a problem because she was an only child, didn't see her mother model positive male/female interactions, and sounds as if she was alone a lot of the time. Nicole is modeling healthy human behavior and she would be smart not to listen to Dani's advice... well intentioned as it is. Eva is the character you root for because she's suffering the consequences of her actions.  And if I were Eva, I wouldn't want to be part of the Dupree world.   I'm hoping the Doug/Joey scenes today is signaling that we're finally moving to the next stage of this story... Doug either asking Vanessa for the money, or letting Joey have dibs on Vanessa's business books, etc.   And Joey finally showing his true colors makes me think we might be approaching that next stage of this story.
    • Lord have mercy!!! Not SilkPress vs Eva at Oprhany Gene for everyone to see!!!! Though I loved Vernon shading SilkPress. I continue to love all this fallout.   Is THAT Joey's endgame?
    • WAIT!!?  You don't want to know CM's workout secrets?  And a recap of his insta feed?  What's wrong with you?   Anyhow, today's show had good character moments.  I feel like Sonny/Laura brought it down.  I really like Tracey and Jason scenes so I think I am a weirdo.  Carly/Lulu were actually pretty good as well, but Carly's dress was some sort of bondage/leather type situation?  It was a strange wardrobe choice lol.
    • Oh God When are we gonna see this on BTG?
    • Yeah, I don't really love Felicity being used to push the Chad/Cat agenda.  I don't get the question on Xander's behavior either.  He was wrong and offensive. I like Xander.  I think Paul Telfer is great.  If Marlena did the same thing I would say she's wrong too.  Characters are imperfect and that's fine.
