Not a single MAGA cared about ‘government waste’ before this dickhead started making it a thing. He’s not rooting out ‘government waste’. He’s gutting the federal system to weaken defence, security, prosperity and protection of resources in service to a foreign paymaster.

The ‘fallen women’ of 1932’s Shanghai Express, played by Anna May Wong and Marlene Dietrich, would be an impossibility once the Hays Code was implemented in 1934. They would have to be seen to be on a moral journey, and punished for their ‘transgressions’.

As an aside, this is an offensive attack on Big Nev. Chamberlain was naive and desperate to avoid another war after an unprecedented slaughter a generation earlier, and still used the time gained to rearm. Whereas Trump is a malignant narcissist who empathises and sympathises with Putin.

The House in Marsh Road (1960) went straight to television in the United States, where it was known as Invisible Creature. The creature in question is Patrick the Poltergeist who takes a dim view of David (Tony Wright)’s behaviour towards his long suffering wife Jean (Patricia Dainton).

What is clear even a quarter of the way through this is that Truss’s career trajectory after her 49 days in ‘power’ is fuelled by spite, arrogance, incredulity and a complete inability to laugh at herself.

Frank Sinatra sailed a little too close to the wind reputationally with his mob connections. Here he is in 1950 with mobster Aniello Dellacroce, who later became an underboss of the Gambino crime family #hollywood #vintagehollywood #classic #legends #sinatra #blackandwhite #history

William Randolph Hearst’s newspapers had a field day with stories about the trial of Roscoe Arbuckle for the murder of Virginia Rappe in 1921. Hearst himself said that the scandal ‘sold more newspapers than the sinking of the Lusitania’. Arbuckle had been a fan favourite, and was finally acquitted .
