Oscar Isaac Was ‘Not So Open to Working With Disney’ After Jimmy Kimmel Suspension, Said He’d Return to ‘Star Wars’ if Disney Does ‘Not Succumb to Fascism’ Oscar Isaac was not open to working with Disney after Jimmy Kimmel's suspension and will only return to 'Star Wars' if the studio avoids fascism.

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":

".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great."

One thing that hasn't been tried yet: good politicians. It could theoretically work

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

Yet another example of Trump shooting the US in the foot. Our abdication of moral leadership in international institutions like the UN, WHO, G20, and ICC only serves to allow our adversaries the opportunity to expand their influence on the world stage while we suffer.

The data does seem to suggest the theory that the Mango Micropenis' actions WOULD make more sense IF he were an agent working to systematically replace the USD, isolate the 'state' that sanctions others, and destroy ALL it alliances military OR economic within.... 10 months...?

Don Moynihan on "Purge, Merge, and Surge" "Instead of surging in Iraq, it’s happening here in American cities."

“More and more cabinet members — Rubio, Miller, Noem — live on military bases now, & it's another parallel to Iraq, where the administration lived in the Green Zone. There’s something deeply unhealthy about a society where leaders are literally shut off from the communities that they govern.”
