calimary's JournalI still think those "tears" were calculated.
Having covered Hollywood when I was still working, I met a few actresses, and an actor or two, who could turn on the waterworks pretty much at will. Its a gift. My best friend, also an actress, can do it. And its meant as a manipulation - to portray sadness or maybe manipulate one or two close up, to basically get the same kind of handling that Hope Hicks got after she crumbled on the witness stand. Aw, poor little thing. Shes so upset. Can we take a break, your honor? Come on, Ms Hicks, lets get you to a quiet room down the hall where you can regain your composure.
The tipoff for me was how poised and in control she was during the defense questioning. But it seemed like only a minute or two into the cross examination that she went to pieces. When I heard that, I thought gee, how convenient! The cross examination was stopped cold, and I think that was it. I think it never picked back up and continued after shed gotten a time out. They just let her take her leave, the poor little thing.
Poor little thing my ass.
Sigh... those were the days...
An unforgettable photo.
Absolutely unforgettable. Shocking, riveting, jolting, horrifying.

That's what I'm dreading. If her "idol" gets back in the White House,
thatll be all shed need. Especially since he knows shes young enough to last for DECADES.
THATS why we need to END lifetime appointments for Supreme Court justices. As soon as possible!
I bet that's it.
Try to provoke a mistrial. The donald has certainly been around, making mischief and causing trouble, to know some of the courtroom manipulations. Glad to see they're not working with this judge. But by all means, donald, do keep trying. More of us see through your attempted tricks and have got your number, day by day.
Left in a hurry cuz the heat got too high...
There's a guy who's uncomfortable when having to face a smart, well-informed woman.
Boy, do Republicans have a hard-on about George Soros.
His name always seems to come up when GOPers want to slam Democrats.
