To say this for the 50th time, for anyone who doesn't know:
Three young conservative lawyers were part of the GOP "Florida recount" team that led to GWB becoming president, via Bush-v-Gore.
They were: John Roberts. Brett Kavanaugh. Amy Coney Barrett.
Small world.

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

I hope people take two minutes to listen to this shocking display of bigotry. It brings clarity to what we are fighting against. We should all be sick to hear such un-American drivel from the President of the United States.
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

And Tom Stoppard also helped with the dialogue for Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith. Hopefully the "Tragedy of Darth Plageus The Wise" bit, which was well done.

A cliché in World War II movies: the U-boat or Japanese submarine sinks a ship, and then gleefully machine guns the helpless survivors in the water.
The scenes reflect historical war crimes… and remind you who the villains are.
Pete Hegseth has made murdering survivors official US policy.
