Seems like a normal, not-bribe type of movie deal…. “two-thirds of the film’s staff requesting not to be credited at the end of the film. Director Brett Ratner, who made headlines after six women accused him of sexual assault and harassment….”

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Beginning to suspect that hiring people whose only qualification was a dedication to mayhem, cutting their training to 47 days to honor a narcissist, giving them guns, telling them that they’re immune to prosecution and don’t need to follow the laws might have been a bad idea….

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King.
This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Knut Hamsun won the 1930 Nobel prize for literature. In 1943 he sent the medal to Joseph Goebbles because he fancied himself a member of the master race. After the war he was tried for treason, ruinously fined and confined to a mental institution.

Maybe congress should launch an investigation into how much Donald Trumps undivested business ventures would profit from sharply slashed interest rates and see if he’s working in his own interests & not ours? House oversight? Anybody? ***This is why they made Jimmy Carter get rid of his farm.***
Powell said the investigation is a result of the Federal Reserve refusing to adhere to the President’s preferences on sharply slashing interest rates.

overwhelmed by the idea that i shouldn't complain about things because most everybody else is worse, & no way to describe it ... my German dictionary says Mitjammerverzicht (“renunciation of co‑wailing”) or Solidaritätstapferkeit (“solidarity‑bravery”)

As a reminder: this happened here in Chicago, though without loss of life. ICE agents shot an observer/protester in her car. They initially claimed she illegally threatened ICE officers with her car.
All charges were eventually dropped, with prejudice.

Lawyer folks, Is this more properly “looting” or “pillaging”?

Guess no one’s told Trump that when he annexes Greenland as the 51st state he’s going to get two Social-Democrat senators who are going to vote with him zero times out of a billion.
