Ernst Lubtisch’s 1923 silent Rosita features what may very well be Mary Pickford’s finest performance, in an atypical role for her–she’s an adult, and she’s a light-living street singer.
Tomorrow night at the Museum of Modern Art, a digital restoration of Rosita receives its world premiere–with a live playing of the original score!
Sniveling crybaby Trump cancels summit because his feelings have been hurt, while Evil Minder Bolton smolders with war-fever in the corner of the playroom.
“Tristam Pretorious” at Daily Kos reminds us that “Until 1973, federal law did not encourage health insurance providers from functioning under a profit motive.”
And this scribe has reams of corrobatory evidence.
The latent affinities between professional sports and totalitarianism in America were just cranked up a notch when the NFL capitulated to Herr Trump’s demand that sideline protests be banned.
The NFL is a bullshit organization that should now be boycotted. And it’s the players who should be the first to boycott!
Collective action, guys!
The DOJ can and will be extorted. By Trump. It was today.
This can’t go on.
Is to inform working Americans what Neil Gorsuch and the right-wing-extremist Supreme Court majority is doing to them.
Isn’t it a law, an axiom?
That’s why I just had to plop into Tallulah’s 1927 tub on Farm Street in London, quite a few decades after she’d last had her final bubble-infused script conference there.
Yeah, I know you can’t believe I’m saying that.
And when I say it I’m not being sarcastic either.
She voted against Gina Haspel, and now she’s forcefully explaining her reasons why. Of course, she’s also equivocating by reminding voters that she only votes with the Dems half the time, but that’s par for the course.
And she’s not playing defensive. Slime Sen. Tom Cotton has already tried to tar here with accusations of patriotism-shortfall, and this is the same Tom Cotton who has enabled every attempt by Trump and the GOP to destroy the lives of Americans and risk national security seven days ’till Sunday.
McCaskill’s asserting her positions is very anomalous behavior for a red-state Democrat, but that’s how you win elections.
And in this case, that’s how you stand up for decency.
How do we wind up with people like this in positions of such influence?
Now the heedless whelp has signed up for one of those chimerical liberal bias litmus-tests, powered by none other than Rebekah Mercer’s Heritage Foundation!
Tess Owen at Vice News describes how lying, racist ex-Senator Jon Kyl will lead the inquisition.
Today’s GOP–McConnell, Ryan, and all the rest–is treasonous, attempting to elevate Trump above the rule of law.
