Okay - I ADMIT IT! [View all]

I LOVE a good prime-time soap opera, and what's happening right now has all the elements of the perfect soap opera plot.

We have the cast of characters involved in intriguing story lines: the whack-a-doodle president, the disgraced national security advisor, the spectre of potential blackmail, the overriding question of who-knew-what-and-when.

Thrown into the mix: a Republican party torn between defending their boy in the WH and throwing him under the bus in hopes of saving the party’s ass before the midterms, an MSM that is realizing that being anti-Trump is more popular than being pro-Trump, and a populace that craves every salacious detail of a scandal-in-the-making.

It’s time to curl-up in your favourite bathrobe, throw some popcorn in the microwave, pour yourself a drink or two and/or fire-up the bong.

We are living in interesting times, my friends – and I, for one, am settling-in for the season closer of Dallas/Dynasty/Knott’s Landing/Falcon Crest/Dallas/Trump pResidency, et al.
