Good buddy of mine on Facebook, former soldier, Republican but he trashed Spicer as "a lying idiot" and is talking constantly of how "this is how dictators act, why are they putting up with him?"

Yeah it's a sad day when the man who wanted funerals for fetuses is the SANE choice but that's where we are. Again, I find it a bit heartening that I'm seeing more Republicans I know who were never for Trump in the first place realizing they need to fight back too.

Well, chalk it up to the GOP thinking "ah, he'll sober a bit when it hits him it's for real." Obviously, that hasn't happened but again, their own sense of self-preservation (not for the country, just them) will overwhelm sticking it to Dems in short term.

Although I now remember the line from Casablanca: "There are certain sections of New York, Major, that I wouldn't advise you to try to invade."

Well, there is the fact you can only send in national guard on request of mayor or governor, neither of whom have asked. And I wonder if many in the GOP aren't hoping he does order actual Army as that's the excuse they need to invoke the 25th and get Pence in.

You have to understand Chicago has a…unique…viewpoint on things. We take corruption as just part of the regular process so it takes something SERIOUS to get a guy busted. It's been accepted for so long it's violent and messy, mostly just roll with it.

Right now, GOP is letting him do stuff they want, pipeline, crackdown abortion and immigration, etc. But they're survivors and self-serving and they know how to play the game much better than this reality show idiot. They may have to speed it up but they know just a matter of time before Trump finally crosses the…

Hey, Hathaway was amazing, happy she won.

Yet they still use "at least Hillary didn't win, THAT was what was important." Thankfully, Republican friends of mine who hated Trump from the start are recognizing what a shit show this is and standing up to the madness.

Really? Because look at all the states where Republicans have driven the economy into the ground but the folks there are convinced "it's the Dems who ruin things, we need to keep voting Red."

But..but..Hillary had E-MAILS! BENGHAZI! CLINTON FOUNDATION!

Bingo. He thinks it's going to be like TV, just toss it in, situation is fixed.

Well also, it's Meryl Streep, they openly joke about her always getting a nomination for most anything. Not like I thought Adams would win with Stone, Huppert and Portman in there but really amazed Negga got in over her.

I think he's asking more for great performances/films that weren't even nominated.

On Netflix now, the Sarah Shahi seasons are great.

You're REALLY overestimating the grasp of reality of his followers, aren't you? It will be 2030 and they'll STILL be going "relax, Mexico will pay any day now…."

I recall Kershner far more for L Word.

I do cope with how she wasn't exactly a favorite (although I had hopes she could benefit from a Portman/Stone/Huppert vote split) and such.

So we're all agreed Meryl Streep is going to win the Oscar, right? Not because her performance is great (it wasn't) or she's due (she won just a few years ago). Nope, because after Trump's "overrated!" rant, the Academy is going to have her win to push her more and do another speech trashing him. So sorry, Stone,…

It really is amazing, so many bad musicals have been nominated (and even won) yet THE movie musical was snubbed.
