All of a sudden, the President doesn’t know if he should defend the Constitution or not. It’s only been almost four months since his his taking the oath at his inauguration. Maybe simple forgetfulness, maybe senility or dementia?

Maybe he’s pulling a Michael Corleone move of β€œkeeping his enemies closer,” but I doubt he has the intelligence.

How was this dope elected? He gives Ron Johnson good competition as stupidest US Senator. If it wasn’t so sad it would be funny.

Thank you for info. Wow, even though some of the purging is legitimate due to deaths and natural movement to different states for jobs or retirement, I wonder how large nefarious purging impacted recent elections. Estimates are 1% of population die, and 2.5% move to different state each year.

What % of eligible voters did not vote. About 36%. How much is due to suppression, disinformation, Citizens, etc.? Much more is due to lack of enthusiasm for either candidate, or worse, a complete civic apathy.

Let me make a few assumptions, and see if the resulting math makes sense. If 72% don’t own guns and 90% want better gun laws, let’s assume all non-gun owners want better gun laws. 18% of the 28% of gun owners want better gun laws. That means at least 65% of gun owners want better gun laws.

I’m reading this book about the making of GOODFELLAS. The AD Joseph Reidy gets lots of love.

From Paterson? I lived in FairLawn and worked in Toyota.
Besides your short, I watched RASHOMON today. That is top notch black & white cinema to learn from. Also Carol Reed’s ODD MAN OUT

Did Jefferson say this about the early 19th century media being β€œutterly fucked,” when they took his Louisiana Purchase to task for not also buying Canada and Greenland?

I don’t understand her. Is it fear? Is it stupidity? Is it a naivety that no politician can afford?

FECULENT?… I’ll have to look that one up. Grubby, soiled, nasty, revolting, loathsome, repulsive, mucky, and yucky. I guess the feculent shoe fits.
