Joy Reid showed a clip of Trump in the 2016 debates screaming at Lester Holt when Holt confronted him with the fact that he was for the Iraq War before he was against it.
The sheer belligerent vociferousness of Trump as he tries to just bull over Holt’s embarrassing–to Trump–truth-squading puts the GOP in a nutshell: raise your voice, talk over people, erupt in obstreperous fake outrage–anything to wrestle truth to the ground.
The sick sadist in the Oval office gaslights Iran–
as if they didn’t have enough problems already.
Trump levied blistering sanctions on the Iranian people because Obama’s Iran agreement was working too well.
Obama is someone who created himself–as much as anyone ever really can.
Trump is one of America’s most unsuccessful businessman, despite the fact that his father threw millions at him from the day he was born.
Now Trump tells Iran how much he loves them. And he really,, really feels their pain.
Trump has driven progressive Iranians into the arms off the mullahs.
He is a global catastrophe.
with his scurrilous deprecation of anyone who won’t bow down to our Fearless Leader.
As did Nikki Haley and all the rest.
Turns out, the dilapidated old defamation nag didn’t make it around the track even once.
So Collins and Halley scrambled to make nice.
These two hyenas will be back, however.
And we will be ready for them.
Today, the Wall Street Journal confirms what we already suspected:
Trump assassinated so as to propitiate senators he’ll need for acquittal, obviously among them Super Freaks Sen. Graham and Sen. Cotton, who get aroused by carnage.
So that means that Doug Collins’s disgraceful smear is even more deplorable than it was yesterday.
President Trump’s action violated our national security every way to Sunday:
Medea Benjamin counts to ten.
So let’s not mince words: it’s Trump and his slavish supporters who are aiding and abetting terrorism.
Rep. Collins and his vile confederates need to know that they will be rhetorically torn from limb to limb every time they pollute our discourse with traitorous defamation and accusation.
How dare this disgusting traitor spew his defamation at Americans who love this country and don’t want Trump to further imperil our national security?
We’ve seen this movie before:
GW Bush tried this shit when he similarly accused Congress members who were dubious about his fraudulent stampede to war in Iraq, one of the greatest foreign policy catastrophes in this country’s history.
Remember Sarah Palin’s accusations about Obama palin’ around with terrorists?
This time, the Democrats have to do more than hang their heads and shift uneasily.
Rep. Collins and his fellow saboteurs need to know they will be pilloried every time they try this shameful tactic.
Trump will continue ratcheting up his torture of Iran’s population in the hope that the country will continue to respond with attacks giving Trump a pretextual justification for more ratcheting.
Rupert Murdoch’s citizenship should be revoked.
The traitorous demagogues on Fox urge America to just take that one more step, just one, and go over the cliff completely.
Think Judith Anderson in Rebecca.
It’s so easy. . . just one more step.
Giving him more and more billions for military.
Eliminating Rep. Khanna and Rep. Lee’s amendments to put some constraints and conditions on the hundreds of billions they and the GOP kept handing him.
I think that Sanders will win the nomination, because he is the only Democrat running who can be unequivocal about assigning blame where it belongs and insisting that a new course must be charted.
have decided to roll over and let Daddy Mitch scratch their bellies.
(Eeew.)
Well, I mean, they’re going along full fig with a rigged “impeachment” trial.
Like McConnell and the rest of the GOP caucus, they have chosen Trump over America.
Viola Tree’s Castles in the Air is one of the best memoirs of the Edwardian period without a doubt. Written in 1926, she looks back to the two years pre WWI she spent studying opera in Italy. That you know that she didn’t eventually triumph makes it not one bit less heartening. She excerpts from her diary, comments on herself looking back, and includes letters from her famous father, from GB Shaw, her then-fiancee, drama critic-to-be Alan Parsons, Prime Minister Asquith, et. al.
The title page tells us it’s published by “Leonard & Virginia Woolf at the Hogarth Press.” Well, I mean, of course it is.
Viola had a ripping career as actress before and after opera; you can see her in some movies of the ’30s. Unfortunately she died not very old in 1939.
Viola was also co-author of The Dancers,in which Tallulah debuted in London in 1923
Co-author with the great actor-manager Gerald du Maurier, who also starred.
In 1994, I talked over the phone to Viola’s son David, who remembered his mother very fondly. And, if you can believe it, he then sent me one act of The Dancers in ms that he had in his possession. Later I read the entire play script at the British Library.
When Bankhead and Du Maurier are reunited in act 4 after years of separation and heartbreak, Tallulah now a famous dancer in the French music halls, Tallulah’s “Maxine” tells Du M’s “Duke of Chievely”:
“Don’t let’s talk of how we’ve arrived to where we have arrived, we can give each other our Press Notices to read and that will save time. Let’s say how much we have loved people, and how much of [us] was happy, and whether as we grew we struck the right shoots of ourselves.”
You have to love Viola Tree.
