Although I liked the previous MI movie, Part 1, b/c it had good pacing and some real hair-raising action, Part 2 (the current one) was not good. Every action sequence was larded with sententious speechifying, and there were roughly three dozen minor characters to track. Didn't care about any of them

House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

Right now, Dems are hiding in their offices, scrolling their phones fearfully, wondering "how are voters going to feel about the National Guard being deployed?" The right, meanwhile, is vigorously *attempting to shape* how voters feel about it, filling every medium with coordinated propaganda.

This entire thing is a manufactured crisis the Trump regime has telegraphed from before Inauguration Day. They want to justify a crackdown on Democratic elected officials, immigrant rights organizations, journalists and anyone who speaks out against them. It’s authoritarianism 101.

The one good thing about Trump is that he’s made clear most conservatives don’t believe in freedom, the constitution, the rule of law, democracy or any of the basic tenets of our way of life. They only care about white supremacy and naked greed.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Wonderful elderly next door neighbors, who go out and fish every night for dinner, caught and cleaned some nice perch for us last night, so now we're pan-frying insanely fresh perch for dinner with oven fries.

You can’t tell me that the richest guy in the world and his army of techno engineers and hackers don’t already have access to the entire Epstein files. No scrubbing necessary. ✊🇨🇦✌️

Way ahead of you.

I am not a Trump supporter, but I do not denigrate those who are. And for those who are Trump supporters, "denigrate" means "look down upon." --with apologies to Bob Newhart
