Okay - I ADMIT IT!

[NanceGreggs]

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.

1. Right there next to you, lady!. . pass the popcorn. . .n/t

[flor-de-jasmim]

2. If only we didn't have to live with the consequences! :-(

[joshcryer]

3. Shame American lives are actually at stake here.

[WiffenPoof]

4. I live in California...

...and I'm up early to watch Morning Joe just to watch what happens.

[Sherman A1]

5. Should be an "interesting" day

in the media.....

[NanceGreggs]

8. Yes, it will be.

What will the GOP say?

Will they expose "president" Trump as "the evil twin" of the man they thought they were supporting all along?

Will a "mysterious stranger" suddenly show up in town, armed with information about the usurper's shady past?

Tune-in tomorrow to find out!

6. Just made a big bowl of Air-popped Corn, Nance.. thank you!

Like manicraven said earlier.. it's like a Russian Spy novel that we're living.. waiting for the next installment.

[murielm99]

12. How much will we enjoy that popcorn

when there is no electricity to pop it and we are, those of us left, enduring nuclear winter?

[Cha]

14. I know.. it's beyond horrible. Just eating now

for sustenance.

[gordianot]

7. Sickening but just who did not see this coming?

Popcorn is hard for me to digest it gives me...well so does Trump, his inner circle, Republicans, Trump voters and defenders, relatives who voted for Trump get a special category.

[BainsBane]

9. It's more of a spy story

which is even better.

[malaise]

10. Hey it's Valentine's day - you need these

[FailureToCommunicate]

21. Ohhh. Thanks for the heads up! Boy those look yummy. (snow shoveling always

brings out the craving for fast energy bites.)

[mcar]

34. That's more like it!

Love me some popcorn, but we need the chocolate today.

[LittleGirl]

11. Preach it! eom

[n2doc]

13. So far I haven't seen a lot of repub infighting

Among the pundits, yes. But the CONgress seems firmly behind him, so long as they get what they want from him

[ananda]

15. Hell yah!

All 45's Children?

General Putin's Mental Hospital?

The writing is terrible, the acting atrocious,
but what a guilty pleasure!

[FailureToCommunicate]

16. I respectfully disagree...

This unfolding drama deserves REAL popcorn, made in a pan...with LOTS of (real) butter

[Ligyron]

24. The only way to eat it.

I wish I liked air popped popcorn but it's just too dry and styrofoam-like for me.

and I have to have plenty of butter or palm oil based pseudo-butter (even better) on it.

Oh, and lots of salt!

Yeah, I know - not healthy but at my age I just don't care. I made it this far and I'm going to go out with a smile on my face.

[bigbrother05]

29. Freshly grated parmesan on top or pan popped corn with sea salt

Have to go now and wipe my lips

[BumRushDaShow]

17. "fire-up the bong."

That's about what it will take to get through the next month.

[IronLionZion]

18. We're also living Star Wars

Planets being destroyed.

Girls in metal bikinis enslaved by Jabba the hutt

Rebel resistance is growing.

[msanthrope]

19. Don't forget the princess living in the tower....we've got that trope, too. nt

[bigbrother05]

30. Or the alien queen with the little prince

[VaBchTgerLily]

20. Thanks for your post-it made me laugh

[kydo]

22. Does this mean it was all a dream? And where does Ericka Kane fit in all this?

Does Susan Lucci get an Emmy this time? When do we wake up from the nightmare?

Son of bitch! Give me a drink!

And FUCK IT! Just Say Fuck It!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

23. Have fun, but watch tRump & Republicon ACTIONS. Dont be too distracted by palace intrigue or insults

[secondwind]

25. I could not have said this better myself, Nance! K&R

[logosoco]

26. I'm watching it as well

and I hope all Americans are tuned in. The cast is absolutely horrid. Many of the scenes seem to be fit for an old 50s series. I hope it gets cancelled soon. I hear the ratings are terrible.

[TNNurse]

27. I cannot enjoy a moment of it.

People will suffer. Hunger, lack of medical care, lack of education which will carry into the future.

Not to mention nuclear danger.

[Kablooie]

28. More like Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman.

[bigbrother05]

31. Fernwood Tonight with the infotainment turned up to 13?

[mnhtnbb]

32. I can imagine it's more comfortable from your view in Canada

than it is for those of us here in the US.

I do agree, that you couldn't make up a soap opera plot any more intriguing than this one--unless it also had a
sex scandal (which has yet to be confirmed)-- as part of it.

Stll, I am hoping for a short, one season, story over in 10 or less episodes. I don't want to see this drawn out.
I want Trump/Pence/Bannon/McConnell/Ryan GONE and gone FAST.

[mcar]

33. If it weren't for the horrific consequences

I'd be right there with you. I've got two sons of draft age, so I'm more

[R B Garr]

35. Can't wait for the upcoming episodes! That Flynn episode was good,

but I'm sure there is more to this new Trump reality show. Stay tuned for Don the Con being led away in handcuffs. Lock him up! Crooked Donald!

[Gothmog]

36. This really is an amusing soap opera
