I gotta say that's better and more realistic that watching this slob of a president stand up and say, "Well, everything is okay."

Trump: "We're heading to Chicago, because we want to save Chicago. Do you know they had over 4,000 people killed in Chicago over a short-- 4,000 people. And I have to watch this slob of a governor stand up and say, 'Well, everything is okay.'"

My answer to your question is: Because it's not what we all want anymore.

(And thanks for sharing it, so much. Have been sending it to so many people, both in and out of documentary making).

Read it for the below, but as a documentary producer, I gotta say it is one of the fascinating and beautiful pieces of writing I've ever read about making documentaries.

Read the article than read the quote I posted below. This is what American goals were that they were fighting for.
What happened? Why is the country so divided today when this is what we still want?

It's de*li*cious, isn't it?

Having moved from the city to the country this past year, I can say definitively that the world would be much better if men just went out and split wood when they feelin' their masculine side.

I am writing this because it has swiftly become crystal clear to me that many people have no idea what is happening or how this works. Here is a thread for non-academics to put into context what just happened to Dr. Mark Bray, a fellow historian.

The Nobel Committee’s Brilliant Answer to Donald Trump

María Corina Machado’s Nobel Prize sends a clear message about democracy under siege

Oh, Rubio is going to have a VERY bad day.

A clip from NYT about the Nobel Prize, saying that Marco Rubio, Rick Scott, and other members of Congress signed a letter to the Nobel Committee on winner Machado's behalf, "hailing her efforts to promote democracy while under severe pressure from the Maduro government." The clip goes on to say that Rubio also praised her in Time magazine as "the personification of resilience, tenacity and patriotism" and a "beacon of hope."

And it's shocking to me that in all this time 47 and Miller and Hegseth have been talking about Venezueal and Madouro, I have never *once* heard them talk about María Corina Machado.

Those Venezuelan fishermen better watch their backs today.

From Thomas Friedman's column on Gaza this morning:

"I worry that Trump does not fully respect the complexity of the task his administration has taken on with the plan that will bear his name."

An understatement if ever there was one.

I saw on CNN that insurers are planning their rates for January NOW; hence, they are sending out notices about increases NOW.

I'm not even sure that GOP can put that back in the bottle (if they even wanted to).

That is not Pam Bondi.

Rather, it is Pam Bondi's face on model Ingrid Something-or-other. That picture of Ingrid has been floating around for years.

I despise mis/disinformation, whoever's side it's on.

And yes, for the vast mostest part, I do try to stick to facts vs. straight-out rage bait. Though lord knows there's enough for any sane person to be enraged about!
