The fact that Donald John Trump is a psychotically evil man should not be normalized.

I'm old. I don't have lots of years to help the USA come back from this obscene timeline. I throw in a nudge here and tgere. I vote against Fascists. Every time.
I know guys like Rob Reiner made my life better every year.
May his memory be a blessing.
Some of the best movies ever made were by Rob Reiner. They made us laugh and think: The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men. And he was a force on screen as well in All in the Family and so many films.

What a tragic loss. Words fail with news like this.

This year feels like the first year we are talking about the real issue.

Something we’ve known for years.

It’s the billionaires.

People are beginning to get it.

The culture war was created by them to divert the real issue.

Their greed. Their absolute and grotesque greed.

As a big Barbara Stanwyck fan, I've never heard or seen this outlier Western gem.

Old geeks recall Nine Princes

And their recollections are very good... the best, the not so good, and how it still does things to the imagination.

Truth
Always worth taking a moment to remind you if you’re pirating authors’ book you’re a shitty person. You can rail that our profession isn’t a profession all you want. You can paint yourself as an online revolutionary liberating ideas. It’s all bullshit.

You’re just a shitty person who hates writers.

I've been playing this character for just about 20 years and she is nothing like me:

#Felon47 is a mind bent old man with no discipline.

#Felon47 has no legitimate plans, no ideas, no scruples, no empathy, no leadership, no moral compass, and no intention of thinking well of anyone but himself.
Not even a single #GOP collaborator is get his backing when the hammer falls.
Trump promised to lower costs “on Day One.” Well, more than 270 days in, inflation is rising.

Prices are up for groceries, electricity, rent and more—with health care premiums set to double for millions of Americans if the President and Congressional Republicans refuse to act.

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high.

SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”.

Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers.

People need & deserve assistance

Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich

Be mad about that

Failing an oath to faithfully execute laws or uphold the Constitution is indictable as High Crimes by a Federal Grand Jury.

Indictment under High Crimes demands a Special Prosecutor be immediately appointed by House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.
