Having lived a weird but gentle life as a ravening aesthete, I found, in 2016, that the lady was a sleeper chrysalis for an alien hippocampus with a mission to be a gadfly against Trump and to usher in KAMALOT.

I pursue the Colour of Magic,

Who’s going to tell him a president has no authority to pardon a state conviction? wapo.st/3MHuub3
Trump asserts he has pardoned county clerk convicted in Colorado case
Trump says he has pardoned Tina Peters, a major cause for MAGA supporters. She was convicted in state court, and it’s unclear if his act has any impact.

These new privatized detention centers are not regulated by federal law. There is no oversight. Anything goes. It must be horrendous, and to believe someone is benefiting from this cruelty financially tells you all you have to know about America. Trump donors.

One citizen said that federal agents in Idaho pointed guns at her children, ages 6 and 8, and dragged her 14-year-old daughter out of a truck and zip-tied her.

The mother told investigators that an agent threatened to “fucking blow your head off.”

The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution is not, nor has it ever been intended as a license to commit mass murder. We must elect Democratic candidates, who will enact sensible gun safety laws. The radical Republican right has sold their soul to the NRA.

Sen. Jack Reed: "I must remind everyone that we follow the law of war, and because of that, we expect other countries. So that when our service members are in distress, they're not shot up in the water or if they're wounded, left to die. If we don't do it, then we can't expect other countries."

Rob Reiner was a true patriot, a champion of democracy who understood the risks we face and strove to ensure that future generations of Americans would live in a free country. May his memory be a blessing.

Donald Trump had betrayed America and its allies.

It was supported by a vast amount of the American people.

It is unforgivable and will take decades to repair.

If ever.

Reiner's THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT is legit one of my favorite films of all time. It's a film I would put on when I worked in video stores and can, to this day, quote line for line as I sit and watch it. It won't make most people's Reiner top 5, but it is far & away my favorite of his ASTOUNDING career
