Trump will want to paint this as a "win" but in reality, China (which has other pressing battles to face) is facing pressure on their imports from India, a country with a population comparable to China and larger than the U.S.  Both countries are desperate for a truce as both have a sh*tload of domestic and diplomatic problems in which to contend.

The E.U. already has Boris Johnson over a barrel, as he has been discovered to be going to the E.U. with his tail between his legs in secret (or what was supposed to be a secret) application for extension, which he vehemently claimed he'd never do in public.  No doubt, the E.U. is invigorated and girding for a fight with Trump. They seemingly have plenty of energy to spar with Trump, who has been provoking Germany, France and other E.U. countries.

Well, I am DELIGHTED by the news.  Just yesterday, Mama Khan was singing Trey Gowdy's praises.  She even compared yours truly TO him, which made me leave the room for the rest of the night, lol.

Yeah, I read that original article (at another platform other than the NYT) and it was basically that infighting between two of Trump's staff members (Mulvaney and Cippollone) ended up botching the rollout. 

The other aspect is that because Gowdy is still under lobbying restrictions until January (which, shocker, nobody checked), by the time he could be added to the legal team, the impeachment inquiry may very well have been decided.

Brilliant guys, huh?

For the umpteenth time, Bloomberg is thinking of running for President.

I finally get a chance to use this out of date meme:

Many people said that Harris was getting too far ahead of herself on impeachment, but she turned out to be right (funny how quickly people are willing to dismiss the words of a former prosecutor regarding matters on the law).  Harris made some salient remarks with passion, which sad but unsurprisingly were overlooked.  This thread is worth a watch.  I don't know whether the rest of America will catch up with Harris in time, perhaps she truly is too far ahead for this country.

    • That 10% lycra makes them very stretchy.  Plus, he's getting addicted to pain meds. OMG Imagine if EJ gets addicted to opioids manufactured by Titan, and uses Belle to form a class action suit (i.e. The Sacklers) and that's how they get back Dimera Industries ?!?

    • Can someone please slap Lulu? More fast forwarding in today's episode. Are we ever going to get resolutions to the two murders and the two attempted murder cases? What sloppy writing. Today's cliffhanger ending sucked!!
    • EJ walks around in pain every day. How does he get those tight jeans on?  
    • She's at least ten years older than lil'Rachel, yet it feels unnatural for both of them to be so involved in other people's loves lives.

    • Lol.  Me neither.  CM is in really good shape so I shouldn't make fun especially with his health issues, but like the tips were the most basic thing ever.
    • I also think Joey will end up Ashley's father. Joey made a comment that Nicole's marriage falling apart was similar to him but without the illegitimate child. Or something like that. But I'm wondering if he used the word "illegitimate" to differentiate intentionally or maybe Jan had the baby without telling him just like Leslie claims with Ted and that was why she was acting weird with Leslie. Jan could have still been "honest with Ashley" by telling her what kind of person her father is without telling her specifically who he is.  This could be another "revelation" down the line MVJ set up to keep story momentum going. We are led to believe Ashley is such a "good girl" and it turns out she's Joey's daughter. Maybe she will turn and not be so "goody-goody". Etc...another story point to go down.  When Leslie said she still had more surprises and stormed off, my first thought was Eva isn't really hers. This would explain why Leslie is abandoning "her daughter" harshly with all the comments of how can she do that to her own daughter. Eva isn't her daughter she's Nicole's, so she couldn't care less about Eva. They keep going on about the DNA test...for her father...no one has ever checked to see if Leslie's DNA matches. They just assume. Why? Because Leslie said so? Maybe this ties into the theories people have that Leslie stole Eva from the hospital (since she's already proven she can sneak into hospitals as a nurse) and raised Nicole's daughter, keeping her away from the "happy couple" until she used her to destroy their happiness when she pleased. She could have done it because she wanted her own baby with Ted and it was the closest she thought she could get to having his child. Eva and Kat being twins and having that "psychic" connection Martin mentioned about Kat calling out Eva from the get-go. Just rambling...but I love this show much and how it has me interested in finding out.  Does anyone care who Alexandre Dumas is at this point? Does anyone care if Liam lives or dies? Just saying... lol
