Has the NRA put out a statement yet? 
 

The difference between the statements put out by Representative Steve Scalise versus the statements released by Nancy Pelosi and Gabrielle Giffords are vastly different, in intent and tone.

Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee issued a judgment to dismiss the classified documents case? Ooh, let me put on my surprise face.

Even Cannon said that Smith had the ability to revive the case.

I guess it will be up to him and the Justice Department.

AOC is right in this case, but wasn't it some of her squad cronies who were calling for people to vote against Biden just a couple of months ago?

JD Vance as VP. Just what we need, another politician who scorns the poor and is against a social safety net.

The loathsome Tlaib, yes. I do think AOC has mostly moved away from that group in the last few years - she is still part of a little club with them and campaigns with them but is probably the most "normie" of the set, along with Ayanna Presley (if she's still part of that group). The dead end left hates AOC and sees her as the great Satan.

This. 

I found it odd that people seriously thought he was going to pick Haley, Scott, Donaldson, or Rubio. He was never going to pick anyone that wasn't a White man. 

However, I get this strong feeling that b/c of Vance's past of speaking ill of Trump, we're about to be in for a McCain/Palin situation where those two will be in-fighting until Trump loses in November (speaking this into existence). People are already suggesting that Democrats need to use every tweet and interview Vance given/said against Trump and put it in an ad.

This CNN article is priceless. Vance going from saying Trump might be America's Hitler and is guilty of multiple instances of sexual assault to being his VP. The complete lack of integrity from the Republicans never ceases to amaze me.

CNN — 

Donald Trump’s vice presidential pick Ohio Sen. JD Vance was once a fervent critic of the former president. In private messages, he wondered ahead of Trump’s election whether he was “America’s Hitler” and in 2017 said the then-president was a “moral disaster.” In public, he agreed Trump was a “total fraud” who didn’t care about regular people and called him “reprehensible.”

“I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical [!@#$%^&*] like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he’s America’s Hitler,” Vance wrote in a message to a friend in 2016. “How’s that for discouraging?”

In 2016 and 2017, Vance, then best-known for penning the best-selling book “Hillbilly Elegy” said Trump was “cultural heroin” and “just another opioid” for Middle America. He told CNN ahead of the 2016 election that he was “definitely not” voting for Trump and he also contemplated voting for Hillary Clinton (he ultimately said he planned to vote for independent candidate Evan McMullin.)

“Fellow Christians, everyone is watching us when we apologize for this man. Lord help us,” he tweeted after the “Access Hollywood” tape was published in 2016.

President Biden

I told him (Trump) how concerned I was and wanted to make sure I knew how he was actually doing. He sounded good, he said he was fine and he thanked me for calling him. I told him he was literally in the prayers of Jill and me and I hope his whole family was weathering this.

PS - Presiden Biden gets PISSED at the end. And with right. He was again too graceful - I would have said such things... if someone dared to ask questions like this.

Her entire reasoning behind this is that Jack Smith as special prosecutor is illegitimate (sounds very Trumpian).

Please keep in mind that two of her judgments in favor of Trump in this case have already been reversed on appeal and the reversals came from a conservative appeals court.

The gaslighting towards President Biden is just... Laughable. Some people are acting like he should have KNOWN and predicted what would happen. President Biden is NOT a psychic, he is not Nostradamus. He is a human being, like all of us. I will be honest, I am worried how much the narrative is changing. They are trying to put Joe in the corner, but it's not going to happen. I have faith that he will be able to continue his fight to preserve the democracy. God helps us if he doesn't succeed.

    • On GL we only saw young GA's Philip in very short shorts but on AMC we saw GA's Alec McIntyre in a speedo.  But, on GL, an older GA/Philip is having sex with Olivia in a hotel room where Bruce Barry was directing & he & she both end up down to nothing but black underwear & at one point his bicep is covering her entire upper body so it appears that she is naked. I think they ended up on the floor between the bed & the wall. That was when I realized that Grant's body was better than Steve Burton's. (Olivia was cheating. Her husband Alan was in the hospital.) It is notable that I can speak with any insight AT ALL about these bodies since that is not the team I play for! LOL 
    • I mentioned that last week and I am glad Tate and Sophia just realized that today lol.  I think the show is just tying up some of Ron's loose ends.   You would think Brady, Holly or even Marlena would have perhaps pointed out the age thing to Tate at some point. I am not sure I like this shift in Sophia's characterization though.  MK played Sophia as someone who always defied her mom's rules-she just didn't get caught.  She was openly trying to steal Tate from Holly with no shame, showing up at the Horton cabin in bikinis to seduce him, and blackmailing Holly to work all her shifts at the Bistro.  Once the recast started the show has acted like Sophia's lived in her room, sheltered her entire life lol.
    • I thought Dante was going to put hands on Gio
    • If Jordan never appeared again, I would absolutely not notice or miss her.  So, while Brook Kerr has her flaws, she at least appears to have a pulse and a personality as Portia.
    • That's because India, or the India MKA ended up playing, was created due to the fact that both she and Kristi Farrell were liked by TPTB, but the part they both read for didn't exactly fit either one of them so the show created two brand new characters for both actresses to play (India and Roxie) and opted not to cast the character they were intending to cast (A cousin of Beth's). I think that's why the show seemed to struggle at first with how to write both India and Roxie in their first months on the show because the characters weren't ever intended to exist.  And yes.. Grant A had a great body... but I didn't find him hot when he was playing Phillip.. only when he was playing Alec on AMC which baffles me since it was the same actor in both parts LOL  
    • I shared this on Twitter and good grief the comments. Steffy fans can be such vile real-life human beings over a fictional character lol.  
    • I remember Michael Logan interviewed L.A. actors/production staff about the movie. Susan Seaforth Hayes said she was dying to know Susan Lucci's reaction.
    • Thanks @Franko  @slick jones You may be interested in the Elisabeth Shue mention. I have to laugh that they apparently didn't even know Teri Hatcher was on Capitol. I have scans somewhere of SPW talking with soap actors about Soapdish. Some, like Mary Stuart, were not happy. I never had a lot of interest in the movie myself. 
    • I never had much of a problem with Brandon Claybon's performance as Martin. He has gotten much better though. While I enjoy his confrontational scenes, I must say his lighter, and carefree scenes from Thursday's episode are the ones that stood out most in the last 3 days (to me).   I agree with all of this!
