This scene is a masterpiece of writing and acting. The very best art, drama or comedy, manages to hold up a mirror that we might see ourselves differently, more truthfully.

So a white dude w a history of writing racist/sexist shit online & then cowardly blamed PTSD (I have PTSD too & it didnโt make me racist & sexist) dealt w the revelation of his secret Nazi tattoo (secret bc he hid it until he was busted) w immediate gaslighting & were supposed to elect him as a Dem?

A screenshot of an online Gallup panel survey:
If you have anything else that you wish to tell us about your experience with the Gallup Panel, please use this space to do so.
In the comment box, the following is written: "Resume polling for presidential approval ratings, you cowards."
Gallup asked me if I had any additional comments.
I made this suggestion.

You're welcome, Brother.
The USMC did these men dirty. Not only they discharged them under less-than-honorable conditions, they acted as though the charge of mutiny, the imprisonment of those menโnever happened.
The lengths institutions go to maintain racial hierarchy.๐ก

ADDENDUM:
The story of the USS Sumter Three is hard to research because it was never meant to survive in the historical record. The Marine Corps quietly buried the case after realizing the mutiny charges were indefensible, and because the proceedings happened overseasโ(cont)

I think it does everyone a disservice to not mention that Maroun asked Lutnick to ask Trump to delay or stop the bridge opening. Billionaires helping billionaires. Maroun has been trying to maintain his monopoly since a second bridge was first discussed.

We've heard a lot of U.S. politicians push this line, that after Trump we'll all go back to normal. But Americans elected Trump twice, and they'll never be more than 4 years away from potentially electing another fascist. Once trust is broken, it's awfully difficult to rebuild.

The Gordie Howe International Bridge is a 50/50 partnership between the Government of Canada and the State of Michigan.

the customs plaza and approach roads on the Michigan side were built using American steel and labour, just as the Canadian side supported Canadian workers and industry.

Iโm the former Michigan governor who negotiated the Gordie Howe bridge. Hereโs what Donald Trump gets wrong
The U.S. president has shared multiple dubious assertions about the bridge linking Windsor with Detroit. The facts tell a different story, writes Rick Snyder.
"For those who are angry or have bitter feelings about your next-door neighbour, please remember that this challenging period is likely to last for one political cycle or less," writes Rick Snyder, a former Republican Michigan governor. #Opinion

It sounds like China is done playing nicely with the withered, old, fermented tyrannical tangerine who holds power in only America.
If you think that China can't or won't show up on our collective door steps then you've not been paying attention.
