This guy gets it. This is the way.
First comes the years of dehumanizing propaganda, then comes isolation and humiliation in camps, and then comes mass murder.

Casino Royale (Craig version) is the only actually good Bond movie.
And when he does, the hard right will go instantly from exalting “strength” to calling for compassion
He looks like he’s going to cry.
Guy in the middle: Richard Brookhiser as Martin Landau
Yes!
What’s up with the hat?
Honored that Mark is now a Democracy Docket member.🙏 The force of democracy must be with us!!!🥳
Hahaha! Next is “probably won’t cost anything too”
I’d feel a lot better if other dem states were following suit
CHICAGO…
The signs are increasing. Inshallah that freak will be dead by xmas
Americans: bookmark the website of the Public Health Agency of Canada
The Great Escape taught me how to dress. Khakis like McQueen, jumpers like Garner.
Oliver can write
Jfc just seize all frozen Russian assets already and send every Russian in Europe on a visa back home. The endless discussion and hesitation is so weak
Correct
This is the way. Stay on offense, keep hitting them. And when they're down, kick the shit out of them some more.
Great, now what are they going to do about it when trump does it anyway? It’s time for more than words
We’re so f*cked
Are vaccines safe? Let's ask this guy who sounds like a dying refrigerator compressor
There are no words that will heal the pain of this community.
If that fucker came to Boston he’d get worse than mean looks.
They’ve had it with this baloney!
Agree, epic film.
If been making this argument too. Trump is sui generis. Cut off the head & and the snake dies. He has some kind of weird charisma that holds the whole thing together. When he’s gone, the maga rube army gets bored and goes back to whatever they were doing before trump activated them.
Not sure about now - there isn’t much of a scene tbh and I don’t even know if he’s still local - but back in the day you’d see him still checking out bands at The Channel, The Rat, etc.
Newsom needs to expand his troll offensive to include issuing gubernatorial executive orders that are as equally if not more absurd and toothless. It will break maga brains
Go, Graham!!
This is a long, meandering essay about an ugly but thankfully brief mental health breakdown I had last week over fucking sock. It was rooted in many things, like the relentlessly bleak news. If a privileged mediocre white guy like me can break down, then millions more are enduring much worse.
I hear you. I’m coping w food too, and apparently, as of 20 minutes ago, art. I call this one “Mar-a-Lago”
Plus An American in Paris featured Oscar “I knew Doris Day before she was a virgin” Levant. Both just phenomenal movies.
Someone said this and it’s really stuck with me: “killing someone is a lousy way to change their mind”
Leadership. Love this guy.
He’s shedding his human skin, revealing the reptile beneath.
I think you’ll need to abbreviate that. It’s gonna come up…a lot. “NVM, Pete Hegseth selects new dress uniform for officer corps featuring black leather trench coat adorned with dagger logo.”
Correct
Refugees fleeing gang warfare, extortion and child enslavement who’ve made it through the Darien Gap and hiked the length of Mexico: “dio mios, black paint…turn around…we’re heading back.”
The Clash is my fav band of all time and even though Joe taught my teen self to reject nostalgia and hero worship, I loved Julian Temple’s “Joe Strummer: Future is Unwritten”. Thought it honored his spirit and legacy in a way he would have approved. Thoughts?
Middle age straight white guy: “I spend an average of 120 hours per week in a forum for sports [guitars / tools / cars]“ Also, middle age straight white guy: “there’s no info anywhere for how to dress like an adult male…also I’m afraid my friends will think I’m gay if I care about a shirt”
The Biased Media Tells You These Dead Children In Gaza Had Their Whole Lives Ahead Of Them. But The Media Won't Tell You Their Life Expectancy Was Only 40. Tomorrow In The Free Press
Still cautiously navigating the genteel right of center in a political spectrum that was disappearing when Friends entered syndication.
Th Dane Cook of pundits
And next time he talks to Putin, his position will shift back towards Putin. That’s who he is. Nothing he says can be counted on because he doesn’t believe in anything except his own ego gratification.
Can someone explain to me why these orders, clearly meaningless as he has no authority to ban anything related to elections, are of concern?
Correct.
Can you imagine the idiocy taking place in the summit today at the White House? Euro leaders trying to penetrate trump’s force field of idiocy with facts that he refuses to accept. Giant waste of time. Why do they bother? Trump is with Putin. They should plan accordingly.
Always loved this shot - it’s like they staged a painting by Norman Rockwell but, you know, with a corpse.
Terrific. Saw a clip today of Stamp talking about his father and what the war did to him. He survived 3 separate German torpedo attacks while serving in the Merchant Navy but, Stamp says, the experience “destroyed his grace.” Beautiful turn of phrase.
It’s 10 out of 10 if that was his intention all along. All he ever was going to do was give Putin what he wants. That’s why Putin put him in the office. That’s why Putin has kompromat on him. Putin owns him.
I think I can safely say that pretty much everyone I know is ready to fight to save our democracy. So where are the leaders? What’s the plan?
Where’s the (real) resistance? My guess is a vast majority of Americans are willing to fight to save our democracy. Where are the leaders? What’s the plan?
Let’s go Mass, NY, NJ! Who else?
understatement of the year
Oh and that new noir where he’s a hit man w dementia is fantastic
Clean and Sober tied w Out of Sight
An ambassador, btw, who shared that belief. I did my best to disabuse them of that illusion.
They’re afraid to formally break w trump. Despite all the evidence to the contrary, they’re holding out hope that because he occupies the Oval Office he must believe in the Atlantic alliance. This was told to me, btw, by an ambassador to UKR from a European country.
The whole thing was an obscenity. History is going to be brutal to the sellout President.
I love that he’s doing this. Why aren’t more dem governors mocking trump? We’re in a fight for our democracy and these gentle souls can’t even shit on the fascist president on social.
The letter: “Commander, my work here is done. I delivered trump to you and his work of dismantling the American state is, for all practical purposes, complete. The US is now a second rate power, its people divided, its leadership in science is destroyed. May I please come home now?”
Next level post
But at least there was the B2 flyover
Hahahaha
Patel is the shy weirdo in 7th grade who started following you around because you seemed less likely than the other kids to give him a wedgie
The arch of the schlemiel
At least the US spent a few million on a B2 flyover for nothing
Yup. And the price trump paid for this moment or reassurance was giving a war criminal the prestige of a direct meeting with the President and Secretary of State of the US in exchange for ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING. Tired of all the winning yet?
Today’s Republican Party
They gave the war criminal a face to face meeting with the president and Secretary of State in exchange for NOTHING. These morons know nothing about diplomacy. All they care about is their next post on social media. May they rot.
*it’s a tell
“I don’t have to say”. I love how, when asked what he’s going to do about something, he responds by listing his legal options. It’s tell that he’s going to do the thing he’s being asked about. Press: “are you going to pardon ghislaine?” Trump: “I’m allowed to”
He wants so badly to be in the global tyrant club.
Finally saw this about a year ago. Still processing.
Did anyone anywhere on planet earth think this was going to be real meeting where Putin would give something up for peace?
Yet
History: “Donald Trump was the only President to give a state away to a foreign power”
Everyone should be throwing sandwiches at ICE now
Where was Newsom’s personal security detail?
Exactly. When are people gonna start telling him to fuck off? I predict it will take just one person in a major position of power to tel him off publicly for the spell to break. And then comes a global tsunami of fuck you’s to his bloated orange fucking face
Mom doesn’t seem to have been big on warmth either
Perfect for the insecure redneck who’s worried his friends at the shooting range will think he’s gay for carrying a baby
3rd choice: arm
Pure fascism but also they act like nobody ever thought of policing before. Instead of doing the hard work of reforming policing and helping people at the bottom to reduce crime, it’s this gestapo bullshit. Curse all these maga thugs
On the agenda: Full capitulation to Russia.
This will turn to bloodshed or total capitulation. Based on the pathetic response, collectively, to trump’s fascism, my money’s on the second scenario.
They’re not worried about elections. What do they know that we don’t?
PRICKS
Someone was rude to me once. Can I get a Purple Heart?
Hahahahahahaha
Those guys scared the shit out of 12 yr old me but I learned how to wear the hell out of a peacoat so all good.
*Cohle
The fact that every guy attending the vocational high school next door to my junior high school in the late 70s looked exactly like Rusty Cole in these scenes is just one of the many reasons it’s one of my favorite sequences in all of television.
Really? I wouldn’t be surprised at all if scotus protects their gay co-partisans
Wants to spend more time with his family and by family I mean his lawyers and PR team
Wouldn’t surprise me in the least if trump starts talking about making a deal w Russia for Alaska
Wow
An American hero
