to get to that moment?

liam showed up telling fallon he was starting to remember some things and he needed her help.

she was torn but cancelled a date with evan to go out with liam and discuss what he was remembering.

there she felt awkward and ended up leaving.

evan was watching the whole time.

as soon as fallon left, he rushed over to the table and threatened liam.

fallon spent the bulk of the episode building up fallon media.  it will include a magazine.

at the press announcement, liam shows up.

he has questions - not about the new business but about their relationship.

fallon tries to ignore him and resist but he's got his memory back and he wants fallon back.  she wants him too.

every 1 is happy but evan - who pretends to be and tells fallon to go with liam because he (evan) is a romantic.

adam and his nurse are working overtime to get crystal out of the picture - especially since the nurse got a hold of blake's updated will.

blake and crystal got his home arrest monitor off him and onto her.  then blake met with the guy over the jury and the plan was how to get blake access.

however, jeff is monitoring blake and was suspicious.  he went over to the mansion and didn't buy crystal's bluffing.  he also noticed adam's car was missing.  why? adam's blind currently.  he can't be driving.  jeff put it together and made it a social media contest to find adam's car.

it was found as blake was finalizing the deal.  blake realized he had to hurry back.  at 1 point, jeff thought he had blake; however, it was the man blake was talking to.

later, jeff showed up at the mansion and barged in on blake and crystal.  he knew what was going on and blake told him that knowing and proving were 2 different things. jeff said it didn't matter. he'd talked to the guy and blake's jury tampering was over.

dominique is ticked at her step-daughter who is falling for culhane when dominique is trying to advance her career.

michael (culhane) couldn't figure out the hold dominique had on the woman until she told him that her step-mother took her to a whitney houston concert once and michael had already heard from dominique that she took this client (her step-daughter) to a whitney concert.  the step-daughter admitted she was dominque's step-daughter but begged him not to tell any 1.

sam is looking for love and not finding it - not even with kirby's help.  kirby thinks she's found a prince - a self-help guru - but he strikes me as a con man.

it was a good episode, a very good episode.

but all that i really care about, sorry, is that fallon and liam are back together.

yea!


let's close with c.i.'s 'Iraq snapshot:'


Friday, November 15, 2019.  Rape enabler Deval Patrick continues his pursuit of the Democratic Party's presidential nomination, protests continue in Iraq, MSNBC struggle to portray the campaigns of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren accurately or fairly, and much more.


In the US, the race for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination continues.  Rape enabler Deval Patrick has entered the ring.  SLATE's Jim Newell offers:


Deval Patrick
If only theories mattered.
Unlike certain would-be candidates considering entrances into the race whose names rhyme with Doomberg and Pillory, the former Massachusetts governor can, at least, draw up a plausible theory on paper for his newly launched candidacy. The field still lacks a formidable center-left consensus candidate who can bridge the party from Joe Biden on one end and Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders on the other. Pete Buttigieg is trying to do it, but his base is too lily-white to break out after New Hampshire. Patrick—who, like Buttigieg, is trying to push against both the center and the left in his early messaging—would, in theory, have some purchase in New Hampshire, given his history as governor of the neighboring state to which many Granite Staters commute, and, in theory, translate that into a strong finish in South Carolina, where he could, again in theory, have a relative advantage as a black American. Aren’t these neat theories? Can’t you see how an unemployed consultant needing a paycheck might excitably pitch it to Patrick? How wealthy donors, in a lather about Elizabeth Warren, might be taken with it? It’s so neat, so consultant-driven, and so pitchable to dumb donors that the Surge is comfortable predicting that Patrick is doomed to go absolutely nowhere. To wit.

    So Deval Patrick fired some ppl to protect his brother-in-law, who went on to rape (another) woman in 2019. And Mike Bloomberg said some nasty s**t about women. Bernie Sanders must be *REALLY* surging in Dems' internal numbers for them to run these two losers. Chrissakes. 😎

    Dear Kamala Harris, You didn't hear this from me but the word on the street Deval Patrick protects sexual predators, please prosecute that ass for me. Thanks, Rape and Molestation survivor
     
     
    Deval Patrick, when is rape a family matter? Your BIL raped your sister not once but twice. You demoted a whistleblower because he wanted to register him as a sex offender. If you do that what would you do as president?
     
     


    For those confused by "family matter,'' refer to this HEAVY article and how the response by Deval's campaign was to insist this was a family matter and the children!!!! the poor children!!!! They never knew and now they did wah!!! Wah!!!! Wah!!!!

    If you're convicted of a crime -- and, yes, rape is a crime, don't whine that your children found out about it because of the press.  You were convicted of a crime.  That was a public case.  Maybe you talk to your children about it.  But you don't whine, "They reported on my being convicted!!!! Oh the babies, the poor little babies!!!"

    Grow the hell up.

    And we don't need a rape enabler, a rape apologist, running for the White House.  Any person even aware of optics would be insisting Deval drop out.  That months after this rapist brother-in-law was sentenced Deval is thinking of running speaks of something far worse than mere arrogance.


    Deval Patrick spoke at my Graduation. Come to find out that he’s a rape apologist?!? Disgusted.

    So the Democratic big donors still don't get that being a rape enabler is disqualifying, and they throw us Deval Patrick. This is why we need a Warren or a Bernie.

    Meanwhile, at IN THESE TIMES, Branko Marcetik maintains:

    Once known as the lone, forthright voice of liberalism on cable news, MSNBC began a lurch to the center in 2015 with its new chairman, Andrew Lack, going on a conservative pundit hiring spree and shedding the network’s “Lean Forward” branding.
    Even so, MSNBC is positioned to have an outsized influence on the 2020 Democratic presidential primary.  According to the Norman Lear Center, liberals watch MSNBC at (respectively) three and 10 times the rate of more moderate and conservative viewers. After Fox News, MSNBC is the most-watched cable news network, beating out CNN. What’s more, the median age of MSNBC’s audience is 65—and older voters turn out in high numbers in primary contests. 
    To understand how MSNBC may be shaping the 2020 election, In These Times analyzed the network’s August and September coverage of the Democratic presidential contest’s leading candidates—Sen. Bernie Sanders, former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Elizabeth Warren. We focused on the network’s flagship primetime shows: The 11th Hour with Brian Williams, All In with Chris Hayes, The Beat with Ari Melber, Hardball with Chris Matthews, The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell and The Rachel Maddow Show.
    In These Times tallied how often the three candidates were discussed and logged whether the coverage was positive, negative or neutral. For example, while poll results by themselves (whether favorable or unfavorable to a candidate) were simply logged as neutral, commentary about a candidate “surging” was logged as positive and “stagnant” as negative. Clips and previews for upcoming segments were not included.
    The coverage quickly revealed a pattern. Over the two months, these six programs focused on Biden, often to the exclusion of Warren and Sanders. Sanders received not only the least total coverage (less than one-third of Biden’s), but the most negative. As to the substance, MSNBC’s reporting revolved around poll results and so-called electability.


    Let's hope they did better with their number crunching than they did with their research on MSNBC's 'history.'

    It was never a liberal channel.  After hitting the gutter with Mike Savage's hiring, they tried to regroup with Keith Olbermann.  Keith was a known sexist who never would have survived in today's #MeToo culture.  We didn't quote him, we didn't note him.  He was supposedly the biggest liberal on TV (he wasn't).  He gets Rachel Maddow on the channel.  That would be the same Rachel that supported the Iraq War.  That would be the same Rachel who then got an AIR AMERICA show (UNFILTERED) in 2004 where she -- like Al Franken -- would argue that you couldn't talk about withdrawal of US troops from Iraq and the troops were already there so you do nothing.  You certainly don't invite on antiwar activists.  The closest UNFILTERED came to an antiwar activist was Arianna Huffington -- and even with Arianna they were struggling.


    Randi Rhodes would rightly mock and call out Rachel's big Iraq special that she did on MSNBC.

    MSNBC got rid of Cenk Uygur in 2011.  (Cenk is not a liberal but he was too much for MSNBC.)  MSNBC launched one attack after another on Cindy Sheehan -- including Norah O'Donnell's hideous June 2006 attack.  MSNBC couldn't find war resisters when other networks could.

    They were always loud, they were just never left.



    In Iraq, the protests continue.

    Some may think that's comic or cute.  It's not, it's stupid.

    The lion is placed in danger, absolutely.


    Look closely. Military-grade grenades are killing protesters in Iraq.

    More to the point, tear gas and sonic booms are taking place.  How is the lion going to react to that?  If the lion panics -- a natural response -- might the lion harms people around -- such as the protesters.

    Just the fact that danger is possible from this incredibly stupid move could provide the government with cover to shut down the protests.

    This was beyond stupid.

    Over 310 protesters have been killed in the last month with another 15,000 injured.  And into that climate, you're bringing an animal?

    Beyond stupid.

    In other news, Ali Choukeir (24 MATINS) reports:

    Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani said authorities must respond quickly to the demands of the protesters who have thronged Baghdad and cities across the mainly Shiite south since early October in an outpouring of anger over rampant corruption and lack of jobs.
    “If those in power think that they can evade the benefits of real reform by stalling and procrastination, they are delusional,” Sistani said in his weekly sermon, delivered by a representative in the Shiite holy city of Karbala
    “What comes after these protests will not be the same as before, and they should be aware of that.”


    Mustafa Habib reports:

    Breaking: In a tough speech, the senior cleric in Ali slaps the whole political class:- "I support the demonstrations & condemned the killing-Kidnapping of protesters, and the govt has not implemented any real demand of the so far. (1)
     
     
    "Iraqis only found the protest and gave big sacrifices during the demonstrations is the only way to save the country form corruption and devastation by all the political class which turned the country into personal gains by keeping silent about each other's corruption" (2)
     
     
  • "If the political class thinks they can dodge and evade the real reforms, they are delusional, because the situation after the protests will not be like before it, so be careful, but there are doubts about the ability of the political class to implement real reforms" (3)
     
     
  • "A new electoral law must be passed and this law must reflecting the real voter representation, and an independent electoral commission must be established that would gain the trust of voters, this is the way to replace the political class that rules the country after 2003" (4)
     
     
  • "The Iraqi battle for reform is a national battle, not allowed to any regional or international side Interference in this" (5)
