This reminds me of when the Republicans in Congress were dodging their constituents after they tried to tank the ACA for the umpteenth time after Trump got in office. It will be interesting to see if all that ducking and dodging will yield similar results at the polls in the next election.

IDK whether to believe him, but you know what?  I wouldn't be a bit surprised if there ARE more WB's waiting in the wings.  For some, odd reason, this "affair" keeps growing...and growing...and growing.

Oh I absolutely believe there are more whistleblowers. It's largely being overlooked, but once recently revealed that Trump was having people at the IRS interfere with a tax audit or something like that. As things heat up, more people are going to throw him under the bus to protect themselves. Trump has shown he is loyal to no one. I can't imagine after Michael Flynn, Michael Cohen, Paul Manafort and Rick Gates that people are going to stay loyal to him in hopes of a pardon. Hell, even Rudy Guliani is going to turn on him, it's just a matter of time.

Other people would be banned from social media websites for fomenting civil violence.  IJS.

 

 

At least Donald Trump is trying to keep us from seeing what's on his tax returns.  Iris on AW couldn't be bothered, and that's how Cass, Donna and Rachel found out SHE was "The Chief"!

 

(Funny how people always bring up AW when there's s**t going down in the WH.  Anyways.)

 

Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY) Resigns House Seat, Expected to Plead Guilty to Insider Trading Charges:

Collins, according to the article, was Trump's first Congressional supporter.

 

It never fails to amuse me how the Republicans can look down their noses at the Democrats even when their hands are just as dirty than theirs, if not dirtier.

Ken Vogel (whose initial 'hot Biden scoop' backfired and spun out into the impeachment scoop, while he went on TV and bemoaned Rudy 'getting ahead of the story and distracting peopl') gets checked. It must be amusing for a clearly right-leaning journo to realize his work has now inadverently led to Trump's impeachment.

Vogel is yet another opportunist, who thought his "hot Biden scoop" could have been the next "BUT HER EMAILS!" and now wants to ride the impeachment bandwagon to celebrity and notoriety.  The NYT should kick his ass over to Fox News and be done with him.

    • Now, actually not. That thought had not even made it into my head, so, no, so far anyway, I've not seen that. Haven't seen today yet. What you're describing is warped & I think she's feeling genuine empathy & sister bond. 
    • Xander was the bigger person apologizing to Cat when he didn't do anything wrong.  he wasn't yelling at Felicity whatsoever, he was asking if she possibly had given them the wrong order by mistake.  He was trying to get to the bottom of what was going on, but Chad/Cat were trying to white knight Felicity even though Felicity was being treated just like anyone else in that situation.   She was the one to bring the order out to them, and usually the person that brings the order out is the one that puts the order together.    I'm still getting a read on the Cat character.   I think she seems to work well when interacting with everyone other than Chad.   Perhaps the new writers can move Cat out of Chad's orbit into another orbit. Paulina has been written quite well the few times she's been on since the writer change.  I think Jackee is enjoying the new writing.. you can tell when she's on screen.  
    • LOL - well, Peter was included in the grandkids' section, each named specifically with their $100K trusts.  It must have been the abs...

        In Henry's will, he said it had to do with Hart having a chance at being a better person than his father, since his father isn't providing for him (I'm paraphrasing here, but it was about Roger).  Still a little surprised...
    • I'm glad the truth is all out regarding Roman and Kate's secrets from each other, and also happy Roman didn't make much of the letter forgery, because why would he even care? They are a good solid couple. However, not to be mean, when Roman had his little flashback at the DiMera mansion he seemed more like an old man that was lost. How wonderfully aggravating that we still don't know what the hell happened with Johnny the night EJ was shot. I can't wait to find out. I've my feelings clear on Paulina, but she was definitely written much more adult and Jackée even seemed a bit toned down, for the better. Nothing boring about either scenes for me. I like the little drama between Xander and Cat, for the newness of the interaction alone. AnnaLynne McCord is much better at material where she's not acting dementedly lovesick. Seeing that side to Cat was integral to remembering she's not a moron, and I am definitely intrigued by the heck could be calling her. Kevin Lambert returning is a cute little surprise. I never watched Chadwick Hopson in the role though, was he any good?

    • I would love if Sarah were already pregnant and then, even with the reveal that she knew about the letter, that she and Xander would work on things to keep their family intact. But I fear that time is running out. Whatever Philip is doing is probably going to mess up everything. I do like that Kayla and Sarah mentioned the Horton legacy with the hospital and that Kayla would much prefer Xander financing it over EJ. Xander is suddenly Horton adjacent. Belle is as usual a massive hypocrite whining about 'everything' Xander has done to her family when EJ raped her sister, kept her cancer ridden toddler from her, helped Nicole keep the baby she had stolen from Sami for a year, shot her dad in the head, and as recently as last year railroaded her innocent teen nephew into prison where he was beaten up. Sure, Xander shot Brady and Marlena but both of them seem to be over it. Cat should have just graciously accepted Xander's apology. I actually like that he treated Felicity like anybody else and did not coddle her. I hope we see him apologizing though. I wonder if Cat knows that Xander shot their granddad Kon dead last year? She might like him better if she knew. I wonder who is calling her? My money is on Gwen for some reason. I feel like Cat and Chad will get comfy and then we will find out Abby is out there and Gwen has had her. EJ and Cat were far more palatable than Chad and Cat, but EJ makes everybody easier to tolerate. Roman and Kate vs Johnny and Paulina... not sure which were more boring. I guess I'll go with Roman and Kate because he speaks so darn slowly now. Philip is entertaining the heck out of me. I hope he ends up the hero who saves Bo. I think it would be hysterical if he managed to get his hands on the Versovix and EJ ends up buying a useless money pit of a hospital.
    • I just start to laugh thinking about the interview where Leslie related its being Tom Donovan who talked her into doing GH & then, once she was settled in & looked around for him, he had JUST vanished!! 
    • We probably would if the writers bothered to write for them... but they've proven unable to write anything for them.  Even though Ashley has potential as a character.   @janea4oldMy theory is that Joey might end up being Ashley's father... but time will tell.
