Strange days

It would seem that a crack in the space-time continuum has started and is growing. That is the only explanation I have now after I witnessed two clearly impossible events.

The first was the election of Doug Jones. Electing a Democrat in Alabama should be heralded by angels we hear on high.

The second is watching Robin Roberts throw serious shade at Omorosa. I would love to know what brought that about. Omo is a noxious person, but I have never seen RobinRo be so clearly insulting someone and on national teevee. I have watched her for over 20 years and she has always kept her cool.

I consider these two events to be equally stunning.
As far as I’m concerned, anything goes.

I won't say it was unprofessional but it was so unlike her that you know there must be a greater story to be had there. Roberts is one of the best out there with what she does and how she handles herself and that was just such shade thrown - that a lot of people wouldn't have even noticed - that it was very surprising.

I can't find it again, but the other day I read about how he laid in a coma for a couple months while she went on a trip and then right before he died she swooped in and somehow got him to sign over everything to her and the family got nothing.
I was wondering if maybe that was related to her reaction at the time. I had never heard that before, I imagine many behind the scenes would have known.
