So, it appears that Lafayette park is having massive rioting. This ish is getting real. They are also saying Trump was taken to an underground bunker for a while. Figures. Trump is also saying things like "overwhelming force against the bad guys". I don't think is going to end well.

To be fair, it's been busy at Lafayette Park all weekend with no response from Trump until Anonymous started to bring up his past. And I find it hilarious rather than bring people together...no response. And then...he tweets because he's mad someone spoiled he was in a bunker. lol.

 

MEANWHILE...

 

 

La Mesa went crazy, but from what I've seen and heard, Downtown San Diego (where I live) kept it COMPLETELY peaceful. Plant knocked over; picked up. People hit signs, protestors told them to stop; they did. Time to leave to beat curfew...done.

 

Sadly, looters apparently are out now. But the good ones seem to have done a great job and marched all over downtown from the building above to the freeway to the police station which I am a few blocks away from...one time I used to live literally across the street from...might that studio. lol.

I've been reading so many tweets about watching videos with journalists being attacked by police, many saying they've never experienced this before.

 

 

You'd think this might wake the media up about what is coming, but other than empty tut-tutting from heavy Trump enablers like Maggie Haberman, it's the same pushing for Trump and the GOP. Talk about how Biden may not be able to "meet the moment" and coverage that frames the protests in a way that benefits Trump.

 

 

Jeff Zucker and friends are so greedy, they simply don't care about what they are going to do to the last gasps of the media in this country, let alone anyone else. They want us all to die for a few bucks.

WOW. So that was what that picture was re: DC burning. I didn't see it clearly when I saw it last night.

 

And what can Trump say? Heck, he should not even be tweeting if he isn't going to try to bring people together. And fear for his live? That's his own fault. 

 

Now...about the media blackout...

^ At first the killer was only identified as "a downtown bar owner". I said to my husband "I bet it's the guy who owns The Hive" and it was. He's a notorious racist and trans hater in Omaha. No way that's a coincidence.  I fully believe he had every intention of shooting a black person and of using the protests and unrest as a cover.

    • I think Dani cares about her sister, but I agree with you. She's using this whole mess to be heard and make herself feel better. I wish Ted and Eva told her to fck off. I had to laugh when Dani commented on her and Anita confronting Ted. She acted as if they destroyed him. That's not what I saw. Dani has been dialed back from those first weeks, but I can't say she's likable. As long as she's throwing shade at Eva for her work as a hairstylist -- while ignoring that she did nothing except eat celery sticks and walk the runway -- she can kiss off. Barely tolerable, and Lindstrom is terrible in the role. I don't find him scary at all, and his money laundering plan is stupid as hell. I gagged when he texted Vanessa to ask if she was thinking about him. That's throw up time.   I just don't see how that makes Ashley any more interesting. And are we really asking for another storyline where a father connects with his adult daughter? I know there's no direct parallel to Eva's story, but come on. If you're in the minority, I'll join you. I have zero interest in any of that. -- I still fail to see Nicole and Vanessa as best friends. Nicole is grounded and stable and responsible, and Vanessa is not. It made more sense to have Dani and Vanessa being close. -- Ashley and Derek were actually OK today. I feel sorry for the actors, honestly, because they've been given nothing. It's crazy, because so much of the rest of the show is firing on all cylinders.    
    • Same. But given how the writers like to have her have good moments and bad moments...and Dani has been background as of late...it's about time she had some bad moments. 
    • I don’t even know why you responded to the bait.
    • I only watch for Sharon and she’s barely on. The only good thing going at the moment is Jack and Diane scenes and they’ve made Diane such a wuss lately which is making that unbearable to watch too 
    • I feel like Earl Hamner and his crew brought in Richard* BECAUSE they knew almost right away that Robert Foxworth was so dull as Chase.  At any event, Richard, IMO, proved to be much more interesting as Angela's chief adversary. (*Or brought him back, depending on whether we're including the original "Vintage Years" pilot).
    • And it will also eventually air S2, which will air its finale in Canada this Thursday, May 15th! https://tvline.com/news/law-and-order-toronto-criminal-intent-season-1-2-the-cw-1235449356/ As an American that has managed to watch it in real time, it's very good. Frankly, I think it's the best of the L&O franchise as of now.
    • You are getting like me. It's getting to the point that without any Damian sightings...it's been the fashion that is holding my interest. And it should not be that way at all. 
    • I don't mind Jan either. If anything, they could be using her more to get her daughter's POV. Not to mention her role as one of the Have-Nots.    I also don't mind the local talent. Just look at soaps that were in NY or the shows that film there, they always go for the local talent and we get to find new faves. 
    • I'm not going to watch (because...well...that M-dude...lol) but knowing the history between Henry and Roger, I could see Henry wanting to enable Hart to stay independent of Roger. I could even see it as Henry having the last laugh at Roger. Roger hated "the Henry's" of the world, which basically meant anyone who had money and social prominence. Twice Roger swindled Henry out of a chunk of his fortune, so giving some to Hart, who hates his father, is a form of karma.
