Robert Shaw plays an Irishman in Montreal who can't keep a job or his many promises to his exasperated wife (Mary Ure). I associate Shaw with tough roles, but here he plays a naive, self-indulgent fool—endearing but unreliable. The film is smart and unsparing.

I, for one, will not be letting a single Republican off the hook for being historically despicable when they try to change their tune in view of the collapse of support for their failing agenda. Don't be a sucker.

The last time we saw a photo of Trump looking this happy was when he was giving away top secret info to Lavrov and Kislyak in the Oval Office eight years ago. He just loves sadistic bastards!

Still a mystery to me is how Epstein related documents weren’t already destroyed years ago. Who outside the U.S. government would have the ability to preserve such incriminating materials? Putin, maybe, but how and why?

There is a lot of antisemitism, hatred of Jews—including among some on the “left.” It’s always *inexcusable.* There is also now another delusion that if you love and respect Jews, you must love and respect the government of Israel. That is evidence of moral confusion at best.
