It's sad that well-known and strong liberals will die during this administration. They'll never get to see again a resurgence, in the Oval Office at least, of all they've fought for.

77 million people-actually add tens to hundreds of millions of more people--needed to have read a newspaper more often. They acted like reading one would have set them aflame, like a vampire encountering Dawn.

Recently he's also been ending his TSs with his full name and position--as if we're all confused as to who's been posting on his own account. Or he has to remind himself of who he is and the big important job he has.

I was gonna say I hope Tree of Life is in the top five, but you guys ranked it at 79. Whomp whomp. Here's hoping Inside Out and Spielberg's A.I. (no, really) are high on the list. From #100 to #61, I've seen 31 movies.

Just went to the article. Opining without knowing what I'm talking about: I should work in the Trump Administration!

Didn't Scott and Dargis do the best 25 movies of the 21st Century some years ago? I don't mind another and expanded list, but the paper should have, maybe, let more years go by before choosing 100 movies.

May be simple. He got millions of low-info voters. People who don't follow political news. They felt they did better in his first term. Not knowing his worst impulses had been checked. Voters didn't take his deportation claims seriously--thought he would go after criminals.

You don't have to tell me. I read the LA Times comment section. A MAGA, xenophobic cesspool. If real Americans, these people have been brainwashed into hating immigrants. They're how fascism gets away with progressively worse savagery.

In their general disarray after November, the Dems should not at all think that putting up assholes who have done sex crimes, like the other party has done, is the way to go.

Did those 77 million people who voted for him want families to live in great fear and terror? For children to be frightened out of their minds that their parents could be disappeared? Do his voters care?

This story would make a good satirical/absurdist movie.

I naively remain fascinated that law enforcement people are not individual people who think for themselves and have their own moral code, but instead they're mindless zombies who will follow any order, no matter how cruel and unjust.

Congrats! That was a fun ride, like they've all been. I was wondering if the father of the groom was going to be Aristotle Onassis. Rachel Hilson is my favorite new actor. She's a star.

That should be TDS-Trump Devotional Syndrome. A pretty good clinical definition came from the man himself, when he said he wouldn't lose any supporters if he shot someone in Fifth Avenue.

With the assault on Sen. Padilla and now this horrific tragedy, Dems in political power have absolutely no excuse for not fighting back against this tyrannical regime with everything they've got. No more sternly worded letters and playing by norms the other side laughs at. This is war for the nation

Ehhh, this is still stereotyping women, even if it's positive. While women, facing all the shit they have through time by men, have developed their empathy and compassion muscles, they're still individual people, with flaws like all of us, and power (and money) greatly corrupts.

The LA Times comment section under the websites' articles is a MAGA cesspool. Commenters never met a fascist action by this administration they didn't like. If these people live in L.A., the city being "socialist" is laughable.

How do you feel about Moonfall? It's pretty silly but I liked it.

She was also absolutely sensational in Palm Springs.

If America is a Christian nation, then better start acting like Christians, hey? You motherfuckers.

It's from a tech company that has created an app to help you remember peoples' names.

Well, speaking as a straight guy, I'd say we're doing B to skewer A and A's bigots and sadists. They're the ones who do gay panic and misogyny, so to mock them as the things they hate and get under their skins serves these motherfuckers right. But again you are more credible than I am.

When I was reading the novel, I imagined Tilda Swinton playing Mrs. Sigsby. She would have been very cool casting. But I'm sure MLP will kill it.

I'm pretty surprised, and disappointed, that it was that close with the college degree population. Come on, grads, what were you thinking?

Call me cynical, but I don't think much will come out of this feud and certainly not anything in the public interest. They're both far right a-holes serving the oligarchy and have too many interests in common to really lastingly turn on each other.

I'm fascinated by how many in law enforcement are super right-wing and fascist. It's like they will commit any crime against the people they are supposedly protecting. Can't they think for themselves, remember their moral compass?

I should correct myself: Fascism has been here for African-Americans, Native Americans, and People of Color throughout our history.

I think MAGA people do care for those things, but have no idea of the damage he's doing because their media doesn't cover it or treats it as a positive. Since fascism has never really been in this country, his voters have no idea what it will take away and how their lives will negatively change.

Actually what I loved most about the show is Jon Hamm, who is a master of playing an asshole who's also not really a bad guy.

His brain is saturated in far- right-media melted cheese, so of course he will believe anything. He is a very stupid man

In this Dark Age (in the US, where I am), videos of scientists' passion give me hope. I have no idea of the work that you do, but thank you very much, Dr. Czerki for doing it.

It's ridiculous that the UK was able to get rid of this awful leader in, what, 50 days, while we're stuck with the fascist motherfucker for three and a half more years.

Maybe "Cassidy and chill" should become an expression.

I really liked it 'til an unsatisfying ending. I loved how it played around with genres to disguise what it actually was (echoing the Greek Sirens): an empathetic human comedy about family, what we owe to each other, and surviving trauma. I was moved by the sisters; ending didn't do them justice.

Americans hate politics and so don't pay any attention to it. They don't spend time reading (yes, reading) the daily news. We also have a gargantuan fake news propaganda machine that completely deceives its politically engaged viewers. Hence: Trump. He himself has had his brain scrambled by that.

This was terrific--Thank you. I hope King and Spielberg collaborate on something before they leave this mortal coil.

And, to state the bleeding obvious: people hold views that will help them get along with others or make them fit in with a group. Culture and tribe.

When the histories of this time are written, they will say that a big part of why America declined was that people were too addicted to their own convenience. Not just keeping X, Facebook, and Amazon profitable, but not going out to regularly protest and deciding not to vote.
