Okay, I am losing it, nothing but mad as hell. Why hasn’t someone filed an Injunction to Stop the demolition and destruction of the White House East Wing. How did this even start. Don’t the repubs give a shit at all about the People’s House being destroyed? Building this obscene ballroom

This starts off quite well with shots of Jura and Damian Lewis reading Orwell passages, then starts juxtaposing them with footage from versions of 1984 and great newsreel footage, but by the end it's a crude simplistic mess, like a really bad Adam Curtis effort.

Jorgen Leth has died.
His verbal and filmic sparring with Lars Von Trier in The Five Obstructions (2003) was a landmark achievement in the history of European modernism. Of European thought in fact.

This is the President explicitly threatening to withhold federal funds from New York City if voters elect a candidate he opposes.
This is an unlawful attempt to coerce voters through federal financial threats and a textbook example of voter intimidation to influence the outcome of a local election.
