This is real. Our govt is Tweeting like a 14 year old and calling Americans imbecilic morons. We worry about children being bullied but this is the example set by the U.S. GOVERNMENT. This is so shameful. I’m embarrassed for any of you that think this is okay or make excuses for it.

The good news: I'm finally starting to hear back from some jobs I'd applied for awhile back.
The bad news is just that they are:
REJECTIONS.
But I'd still rather hear back to have closure and keep moving on, even if these are form letters.

Just remembering randomly and totally for no reason that Jean-Luc Brunel “committed suicide” by hanging in a prison cell a few years ago. Just a thing that happened and no connection to any other thing! www.bbc.com/news/world-e...

So… a coverup is happening in real time. That’s what this is, right??? Like, we all know what is happening.
My god (sorry I’m late on a bunch of this stuff. But wow!)
According to this NYT report, the head of the FBI and the Attorney General are holding meetings *in the Situation Room* with GOP lawmakers they are trying to pressure to rescind their votes to release the Epstein info. This is madness.

Excellent research and data based reporting here and something to share with your parents at the holiday time! (Before you block Fox on their cable setup)
NEW: 2020 footage said to be in 2025. A neighbor who keeps reappearing in the same clip, said to be on different days & months. A broadcast from elsewhere suggested as Portland.

The network used five-year-old footage, mislabeled other dates and implied footage from elsewhere was in Portland.

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

OMG Sally the real life inspiration for DeNiro’s character in Mean Streets makes an appearance in part 2 of Scorsese doc! (DeNiro himself is surprised to find out he’s still alive.)
One amazing little nugget in the great Scorsese documentary is that we have Peter Boyle to thank for Marty’s long amazing career, as he saved him from drowning in the ocean in the early 70s.
