The 'It's a Good Life' Twilight Zone episode w/ 6yo kid who has extraordinary power to torture or evaporate others really is an exceedingly apt description of our President.

I'm sure US Evangelicals and conservative Catholics won't read this article. First, it came from a foreign country, and secondly they don't have the patience or mental discipline for long thoughtful articles.
They’re doing to America what they did to Christianity | Bill McKibben
Trump’s wrecking-ball approach to America has a precedent: the evangelical perversion of Jesus’s message of radical love to one of hate and aggression

Did any world journalist boycott the presser w/ the man responsible for a journalist's death? Two nepo babies have a press conference, one a killer and the other a pedophile, and world media folk smile, treat them both as worthy of exaltation. I've lived too long on this rotten orb.

#filmsky Why are actor's eye pupils so large in close ups? Do they get them something to dilate the eyes before the scene? Otherwise, w/ the lights, they should look constricted.

Chief Justice Roberts has protected Trump, but he hasn't protected Bondi or Blanche. Democrats should be focused on promising they will prosecute them when in power. Maybe that's a bad strategy for taking back our DOJ, but better than anything Dems are currently doing.

One of the wrongs of the US judicial system that irks me no end is the failure to find people personally responsible for illegal official acts. Now that Roberts has immunized Trump from responsibility, all carrying out his desires are likewise immunized. It's absurd Roberts is a chief Justice.

#filmsky The worst thing about a generally good Netflix series, 'The Beast in Me' is Claire Danes frenetic acting. I think she picked it up an an expressional shortcut in 'Homeland.' Actors, like other creatives, need to know when they're being repetitive, and need to retire.

50% of the GOP voting block are Evangelicals. You decide why the most benighted Americans choose to support embedded money in its quest to control America with its money. But the least you can do is stop treating these troubled Americans as 'special' children. These drop outs don't deserve respect.

When Democrats allow vested interests to contribute they are saying they don't want UHC, a wealth tax, an Israel w/o apartheid, higher taxes on the rich, etc. Donors will quickly quash those desires with a splash of cash.

I'm sure men fall in love w/ pretty actresses every day. A warning that will surely not be heeded. You're only falling in love with character w/ a pretty face. Even if you can touch and kiss her.

US citizens should blame Pelosi for our lack of UHC. She took millions from health insurance providers to stop it. Those who dislike Israeli's apartheid actions and brutal behavior toward Palestinians can blame Schumer being on Israeli advocacy's bribe list. The right has colonized Dem leadership.

Why would Supreme Court Justice Jackson issue an order pausing the requirement to distribute full SNAP payments until the appeals court rules on whether to issue a more lasting pause?

Missed my basketball game last night because my provider, YouTube, is in a dispute w/ ESPN. When I had U-verse this kind of thing happened several times. It shouldn't be possible for customers to be hurt by this kind of dispute.

Where is Democratic leadership? Why aren't they excoriating GOP legislators for giving themselves an almost a two month paid vacation? This is inexcusable.

I hope Fourth Great Awakening Evangelicals are paying close attention to the hypocrisy of the crucifix wearing bottle blondes hyping and lying for the President. No one can save their soul or experience redemption by acting as shills for an unethical authoritarian.

Does our biased SCOTUS realize how much they are costing the US taxpayer? Since Trump will not be satisfied until SCOTUS rules on any issue, every issue is always appealed eventually to the biased court.

How long before a new Kyrsten Sinema shows up? A heavily bribed Democrat willing to exchange their integrity for untraceable bitcoins? Pelosi tanked UHC for insurance money, Chuck Schumer for Israeli advocacy cash. How can anyone trust embedded Democrats? Be on the look out.

No Democrat should support Chuck Schumer in any way. He refused to endorse Mamdani while accepting tremendous amounts of money from Israeli advocacy groups. Did they demand Schumer not endorse Mamdani? AOC for NY Senate in 2028. We don't need a shill for Israeli arrogance.

The US is living in administrative hell. The GOP is unwilling to do something Trump doesn't approve of, even at the cost of widespread suffering, while Trump is too busy soaking in foreign adulation and drinking in his domestic power to care about the disruption the shutdown is causing.
