Venezuela: One Dictator After Another.
A former staffer said that U.S. officials would not be performing a formal occupation like in Iraq. “We’re going to tell them: ‘Hey, this is what you have to do in order for there not to be another strike. That’s what [Trump] sees as running the country.” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

For those of us not in the cult, this is what we hear when anyone from the Trump administration speaks.

Beautiful Christmas/movie/community thread:
Years ago, I went to see IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE. I'd seen the movie dozens of times, but never in the theater, so I was pretty excited. I got my popcorn and coke and found the perfect seat. The theater was empty when I arrived, but just before the movie started, a family of around 30 people came in.

Listening to Vancouver City Council just going through the motions of "listening" to its constituents. Glad 600+ people are speaking up, but Mayor Nipple and his cronies will just barrel through whatever they want.
It's gross.

Discovered that Cineplex is limiting weekday showings at Tinseltown in Vancouver to mid afternoon and early evenings only as of next week.
Only full days on weekends and Tuesdays.
I hope this is temporary, I do love an early matinee.
