Val Kilmer's dead! No yes-man for sure, but a true artist! To me not the star of batman but the actor who gave MadMartigan (in "Willow") or Chris Shilerlis (in "Heat") , his roles a complex and authentic personality, full of contradictions. RIP, Val!

Hey proud Americans: Putin was in a TV Show as he had scheduled phone-call with Trump. As he was informed Trump was waiting, Putin said, 'nevermind, babbling is his (Peskovs) job.' Showmaster asked what Trump would say if waiting. Answer: "Usually gives interviews." Trump eventually waited 1 hour.

Hi guys. You noticed? Putin in TV the time scheduled call Trump. Peskov lets him know that "Donald" is waiting. Putin answers (in rude Russian): "Let him (Peskov) babble. That's his job." People laughing and mocking.
I remind the possible sex-tapes Christopher Steel had talked about.
