Well now we know why 47 and Hegseth were so upset when Senators made their statement about refusing illegal orders. The SOUTHCOM commander resigned, and the JAG stated in writing that the strikes are illegal. The chain of accountability is clear and must be investigated and prosecuted.

Trump’s ONLY goal is to get attention, to capture as much of each news cycle as he can. The fact we are having a discussion about it shows how successful he is at this. To attribute any other motivation for what he does is a mistake.

Let’s look at this with another lens… if their only goal was to get Comey’s name in the news for a couple months (along with constantly mentioning his crime) to have the case dismissed is, for Trump this is his best possible outcome, because now he “is still guilty but free on a legal technicality.”

Even the same music, with that repetitive base note hitting us… All we need now is a guilty, drunken soliloquy by a ranger explaining how his patrol had desecrated an Indian burial ground & that this was all some kind of retribution! #BMoviemaniacs

Maybe they could combine this film with the Mikado & when they read “the list” it can be the names of everybody we would like the Snowbeast to eat! #BMovieManiacs

A hint of the beast is what you’ll get through this entire film!
I’ve smelled colognes that had more “presence” than this beast. #BMovieManiacs

Absolutely true, and in that effort, he was incredibly successful!
Baum also gently makes fun of American consumerism, for example, his description of Emerald City & its “department store” allure, an illusion kept by the mandatory wearing of the green-tinted glasses.

Great article! I have an answer for John Waters, who famously asked the question, “Why would [Dorothy] go back to Kansas?” It’s implied several times in the film—that “over the rainbow” is a euphemism for death. Dorothy wasn’t ready for “that last great adventure” & chose to go back to her family!
