The founder of the Marriott hotel chain (J. Willard Marriott) is Mormon. He put a copy of the Book of Mormon in each hotel room (a practice they continued).

Long reply there. You folks in DK seem really pissed at the US. (I dislike what the US has become, too.) But it would never occur to me to advise your countrymen what to do to deal with it.

Do whatever it takes?! Watch what you encourage from that safe distance away. Believe it or not, most Americans are law-abiding and believe in peaceful protest. It has only been very, very recently that our First Amendment rights have been challenged.

Again, thanks for the reply. As an American, may I suggest that you curb your comments about what "we're" supposed to do. The people here are traumatized by incessant governmental violence and chaos. And Trump is just itching for someone to step out of line to force martial law.

"flaming the flames of insurrection". He absolutely HAD to get that 'insurrection' word in there.

Thanks for the reply. Are you an American?

Is "DK" for Denmark?

This is a wonderful movie. Great story and screenplay by Paddy Chayefsky.

Marshall based the series on the 1965 play by Neil Simon. (Fun fact: Garry's sister was actress/director Penny Marshall.)

Trump: You can't be a member of the club I just formed and you can forget the secret handshake because we've already made a new one.

I will give the southern states the same amount of sympathy for the ice on their streets as they give me for the ICE on mine.

The primaries in Illinois are on March 17.

No, no, no, Karoline. When you heard Trump talking about "a piece of ice" he was actually talking about a "piece of ass".

My Capri was green. I loved that car.

I hear ya. Both my Senators and my Congressperson are Democrats. Calls don't go through, so I've emailed but get no reply. I attend my local protests. I feel it's about all I can do, and it's not very much.

Trump is painfully stupid.

Not counting those who've physically assaulted citizens, I'd rather see lengthy community service rather than imprisonment. Put them to work.

Ken Follett's The Pillars of the Earth. It's part of a series of books called the Kingsbridge novels collection (though Pillars is the only one I've read).

You've got two hands don't you? One for rubbing wife and the other for petting Frankie!

Gain some morals, or lose some money? I think the latter is more likely (see also: stock market this morning 1/20).

Motorola was waiting for those court orders to be signed!

Motorola makes the body cams that ICE wears.

Called Motorola Solutions. They sell private radio networks and dispatch software (think cop/first responder walkies).

Guessing their contract is for private radio network. A general strike won't work because most of their employees aren't in the U.S. They're in Malaysia and Poland.

"The Awful Truth"

A destroyed Trump hat lies on the ground after anti-ICE protesters confront a far-right influencer stirring trouble in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

A prophetic sign? (credit AP-Yuki Iwamura)

Fat and bearded? I think this is an imposter pretending to be SS.

My hand itches for a can of spray paint.

I only made rice krispie treats when the bag of marshmallows was going stale (rather than throwing away). Cut into two-bite sized pieces, then dip half in melted semi-sweet chocolate. They're pretty bland otherwise.

I take it the rice krispies cereal experiment is a fail.
