Of all the disgusting things that have occurred regarding and since the November 3rd election, what you described above is probably the most heinous to me personally. Simple, humble citizens being dragged into the national spotlight for hate fodder and their lives endangered because some big turd can't fathom losing his precious power grift. Rudy knee-jerked and saw them as dispensable little pawns and fed them to a madman and his massive legion of orcs, who forced themselves into her GRANDMOTHER's home to make some kind of "citizens' arrest." I was sick to my stomach during her testimony and her mother's taped testimony. F these people, honestly.

Also- He was POTUS. There's just no way the DoJ will convict a former POTUS. He was always teflon because he knew how to extend cases and exhaust the system. Now that he's been prez, he's untouchable for life. As is always the case, many who do his bidding will pay the price for him.

You're 100% correct. This entire hearing process will be an echo chamber. I'll be watching as much as I can because I need to know more but yes- all information, zero retribution is what I expect.

I just spent about 15 minutes watching the gun control hearings on C-SPAN. 15 minutes was all I needed to reaffirm my lack of confidence that any compromise will take place. None. Zero. Zip. Nada. It's ceremonial. See you guys after the next school shooting.

Great show. The final two episodes will have you very emotional.

@TradeTheBeal! she is also a "pretty dude."

It does! Admittedly, it's a bit of a slow burner but the concept is cool and it does build in "intrigue."

There's a new show on Prime (also) with Sissy Spacek called, "Night Sky" and it has a very similar theme. I like both shows.

We may be seeing a situation where the CGI isn't completely finished yet. Sort of like "Pink Thanos" in the early Infinity War trailer. (Although the She-Hulk trailer is "official" so...) 😟 However- I don't know if you ever watched Orphan Black but Tatiana Maslani is fantastic. Dynamic range with a nose for comedy. Very good actor. I'm holding my pessimism until I see her in this because she alone can carry a series. Fingers crossed!

Cannot WAIT.

FANTASTIC show. It's german so if you're not the subtitle or dub type you might have trouble with it but honestly, it might be one of my top 5 all-time faves. Incredible concept, killer performances, and awesome soundtrack! I'm enjoying this one! IMHO, DARK is way better. 12 Monkeys is good. Dark is honestly just mind-blowing. Highly recommend. Like I told gbear though, it's german. Some folks don't like the foreign stuff because of dubbing or subtitles. I watched it with english dubbing. English is a germanic language so the dubbing really isn't too jarring. Great, great show.

Gotta look into this. I have a serious time travel fetish, which is why I loved DARK (Netflix) so much. Have you ever seen DARK?

And that whole power grid thing? Texas president Cruz would be spending a LOT of time in Cancun.

Nope.

And nothing will happen.

I suspect the Q Queen isn't getting her utilities cut off... because she's probably paying her bills with donator money.

I am SO proud to be from Maryland every time I see Jamie Raskin. Dude's a baller.

I did the first 3 episodes and could not stay awake. I have a couple friends who are enjoying it but I had to bail. Awful.

He also can't recite those words for fear of bursting into flame. Srsly that video is insulting even to an agnostic like myself. Absurd, perverted, transparently comical. I'm sure Melania THINKS she means it but Donald is no doubt giggling to himself that the crowd is so mislead about his claims of allegiance to anything "godly." Sickening.

Gotta be. I assume Thor will be visiting Mt. Olympus!

..............because Trump's approval ratings were awesome? I'd suggest to you that they may have been great IN YOUR ECHO CHAMBER.

My standard (and recently frequent) take: I stopped waiting. It won't happen. POTUSes are above the law.

Yep. At some point fatigue simply sets in. The wheels of justice turn SOOOO slowly and Trump is a master at building speed bumps along the way. I've never heard of anyone so able to draw out legal peril. It almost seems like prosecuting entities get as tired as the people do and just surrender their cases. There might also be something said for piling up SO much on the table for investigators that there becomes too much to prosecute. "Just keep committing crimes for them to look into and they'll never get around to making you pay" philosophy. As for Thomas, there are definitely two cozy beds in our govt that are basically untouchable- The White House and the Supreme Court. How does one even begin to shake the limb of a 200 year-old oak tree? The trunk of that tree provides too lofty and arduous a pursuit.

I had JUST finished reading that on Twitter and came here to post it. Unbelievable and so very reflecting of what's going on here with trump's disinformation.

My conflicting takes... 1. What Will Smith did was knee-jerk, petty, and violent. What he said during his acceptance speech was hypocritical and self-serving. He could have waited and sent a message to Rock during his speech and it might have had a much more meaningful effect. Too many Hollywood celebs are too used to being treated like royalty and it showed last night. Get off your high horses and get some thicker skin. 2. The Oscars ceremony is not a roast. It's a very formal recognition of industry effort. It's an internationally-watched tribute. Comedians have gone a little too rogue over the last 5-10 years and last night a reset button was pushed. I know the joke wasn't THAT bad but it still deserved SOME backlash. So there you have it. I'm torn. It should not have gone down the way it did but we might see a little more respect from Oscar hosts in the future.
