1. Yea!

The modem is fixed so I was able to watch it tonight.

2. Oh no! I didn't realize you couldn't watch the videos!

I know how much you enjoy them. Glad to hear that your modem is fixed - I know how helpless I feel if my computer isn't working. I previously had a laptop that was prone to overheating and shutting itself off, but I never knew when it was going to happen. Welcome back to late night!

3. It's good that somebody has finally bothered to (even if it was that bastard)

Here's the back story, for those unfamiliar:

4. Thanks so much for sharing this - it's an essential part of this crazy story!

5. You're welcome. God works in mysterious ways I suppose.

Bringing this up was probably the only redeeming thing Blankenship has done in many, many years.

6. I have to agree, it's the one positive thing he's managed to do - however unintentional...

7. Something similar needs to happen to Trump

he needs to serve in prison and bring it up constantly. And then we can bring it up around election time since several Republican presidents have had their people go to prison now.

8. Bob Mueller's working on the very thing

Knowing Cheeto though, he'll probably commit suicide to deny his opponents the satisfaction of seeing him in jail - where he belongs.
