Okay, you have nothing.

Really? Tell me how. The 25th amendment won't do it. And the Senate doesn't have enough votes to convict.

Do you have a secret plan?

The President of the United States is the primary source of "fake news."

Why do I think the key word there is "spending?" :)

Try reading shorter books... like mine. :)

Seriously, I'm currently reading "Nicholas Nickleby" and it's nearly 800 pages. Hope to finish it sometime next month.

THIS Congress won't act. Our priority now is not only the midterms, but ensuring that Trump and his minions don't steal the election. Vote out every Republican you can.

I like some of Chalamet's performances, and he was interesting here. That said, the movie is a total mess and underserving of any awards.

You notice how Trump says this is old news and we should move on but he's still whining about how he lost the 2020 election?

It's obvious he has no idea what the word "exonerated" means.

Review – Good Luck Have Fun Don’t Die GOOD LUCK HAVE FUN DON’T DIE. With Sam Rockwell, Haley Lu Richardson, Michael PeΓ±a, Zazie Beetz, Asim Chandhry. Written by Matthew Robinson. Directed by Gore Verbinski. Rated R for pervasive langua…

Not since β€œEverything Everywhere All At Once” (2022) has there been such a bonkers movie with a nutty, in-your-face title. The result is either an instant cult film or the surprise hit of the season.

Having just seen "Event Horizon" for the second time at the 24 Hour SF Marathon in Somerville, Mass. -- I reviewed it when it came out -- you have my sincere condolences.

"Psycho." I've seen it in a theater, but it was a revival house. I actually saw "Jaws" and "The Exorcist" first run.

Have you ever seen "Network?" In 1976 it was an over the top satire. Now it plays like a documentary.

No, she can't. She will not be the nominee and certainly has ZERO chance of being elected.

Her shrewd move would be to run for Schumer's seat, regardless of whether Schumer retires. She's got a bright future but not getting elected president in 2028.

He was not convicted of "rape." He WAS held liable for sexual assault in a civil trial. The judge in that case likened it to rape.

Proving that Mangolini has no idea what the word "exonerated" means.

By whom? The 25th amendment won't work. And there aren't enough votes to convict in the Senate.

She should run for Schumer's Senate seat whether or not Schumer chooses to retire. She has zero change of being nominated much less elected president in 2028.

My desk lamp requires a special energy saving bulb. Last bought one four years ago for under ten dollars. After four years it needed to be replaced. It's made in China. Current cost is closer to twenty dollars thanks to the Trump tariffs.

$75M was the TOTAL cost INCLUDING marketing.

That may not be the best argument to make but we should scream at people who didn't vote. It's the de minimis duty of citizenship.

She's a horrible, evil person but I have to admit she looks pretty good for 60. She must have a painting in her attic.

They're not the cure-all but unless we reclaim the government we can't even begin undoing the damage. What the EPA did yesterday is criminal and must be reversed. Won't happen until we elect a Democratic president.

Yes, and if that works for you, go for it. Other writers focus on communicating with potential readers. Both are valid, although as a writer I prefer the latter.

Impeaching Trump now is a waste of time. There aren't the votes to convict in the Senate. But impeaching Noem, even if it fails, puts the gutless MAGAts on the record as supporting masked goons in our streets.

I assume you know this already, but just in case. When Danny Kaye decided he didn't want a stunt double on "The Court Jester" to do his sword fights, it was Rathbone -- already in the cast -- who trained him.
