I just love that idiot's tweet: "Big day planned on NATIONAL SECURITY tomorrow. Among many other things, we will build the wall!"

 

Uh, you do realize walls are not built in a day?

The truth is that there's plenty of nihilism on both sides and those nihilists will show up to any protest either as provocateurs to make us look bad or because they just want to watch the world burn. I don't approve of Spencer getting punched because the next person who gets punched might just be some innocent person in the wrong place at the wrong time. The person who punched Spencer was very likely from the same anarchist group that broke windows during the march. These are the people who get other people killed. 

 

That said, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't watching all the video of Spencer getting clocked set to music: http://www.thefader.com/2017/01/23/richard-spencer-punched-to-music-memes. I'm rather partial to the one set to Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On."

Good.  For his sake, I hope they find some evidence that supports his ridiculous belief.  Of course, he'll also destroy what little faith we still had in the voting process, but I guess that's inconsequential to that fascist.

 

Yep.

 

Thank you, DD, for bringing our attention to this story.

 

Agree.

You're welcome.

 

@marceline I did see the video of the neo Nazi punch set to Beyoncé's rendition of the national anthem and admit I chuckled both times I watched it.

 

Speaking of bizarre clips that cause a chuckle (or not), I came across this bizarre article while reading something else completely different but curiosity got the better of me.

Even Tiffany Trump was registered to vote in two states. Trump needs to be aware of what he is unleashing with these allegations and just how many in his own circle are likely get snagged for some fraud that he claims is rampant but is actually quite limited to a miniscule number of people-- in the two cases that were uncovered, both got caught and both were Republican.

 

These lawsuits should be named and Trump should be publicly shamed. This behavior should never be normalized.

    • If you are someone who wanted to read this on IRNA & didn't get to it (before it was removed for being too long) PM me & I will see to it. (It's in my Dropbox, possibly what I should have done in the first place.)

    • Really? But it was sooooo unrealistic. At least they found a legit reason for him to not run (SilkPress Sheila ain't no punk or joke...lol). Well tbf it sounded like he was joking. So I didn't think he was serious until yesterday. And I felt...THAT'S IT? So it's good he said it aloud to Doug's face so there was no way to mistake how the scene was played...which well I did. Seems so...simple?...given what's been at play with Doug and Vanessa.    +1. I agree.
    • I absolutely love the idea of Krista Allen being on the show. I wouldn't saddle her with Jen though. I'd create a brand new character for her. She could be a diva who lives Beyond The Gates and is gradually seen at the country club. Then I'd do a slow roll out where the Duprees don't like her and her family because she is part of the first white family that "infiltrated" Beyond The Gates. Then slowly...and I mean slowly...expand Krista's character's family as a rival to the Duprees as some have said the show should have. A younger son to mix it up with Chelsea/Kat, a daughter to maybe run for office against Martin. Krista Allen could easily be a great matriarch for a rival family.

    • They said Kate was on the board too.  I am confused if that's all new developments or we always knew that.  I really have no idea why Kate would be on the hospital board.

Then in a brilliant moment she invoked the words of Claire Labine, said by Rosalind Cash as Mary Mae Ward to Stone, near death, a now very famous quote: "Every moment of my life, whether filled with joy or with pain, has the potential for grace realized. Whether it's an opportunity to learn, or whether it's to make a connection, or whether it's to find love which you didn't think existed, these are gifts from god & to throw them back in his face is something unthinkable to me." 
    • That would make sense; he is to DAYS as the Quartermaines are to GH, in terms of the hospital board. If only DAYS had a hospital worth being a board member of.

    • I think Arielle Prepetit is great, but I almost wish Naomi had been Nathan and Jacob were Jacqueline (shades of Tom and Margo). We’d have another Dupree son, and the idea of Bill being a disgraced role model for his male lawyer son would have a different resonance around masculinity and generational trauma, especially since we already have Chelsea for the female Hamilton daughter POV. Just for the balance.
