Either policies that demonstrably improve their lives, or, failing that, a grotesque circus providing mindless entertainment, one that they hope will include the license to hate and scapegoat the most vulnerable.

That would be Tallulah Bankhead, as described by cellist and composer Alan Shiulman. Shulman played in the orchestra of Bankhead’s “Big Show” on radio, and composed “A Laurentian Overture” that he dedicated to her.

His son Jay Shulman shared his Dad’s quip with me recently.

Alan Shulman also collaborated with Tallulah’s friend Joe Bushkin on a song that they called “Portrait of Tallulah.“

that if they follow the illegal orders of Hegseth and Trump they will be legally liable.

That sick jamboree that the Gold Dust Twins convened on September 30 was about getting military heads as well as rank and file feeling comfortable with treason: thus Hegseth telling them to be as lawless as possible and thus Trump urging that our American cities be “training grounds” for fighting adversaries abroad.

The reason Trump and his sodden lickspittle had a cow when the Democratic senators made their patriotic video is because they were calling out exactly what Trump and his tin soldier military head are in the middle of implementing.

Remember just yesterday the orange (or chalky or girlishly pink) madman said thanks to him there was no more crime in D.C.?

And the right wing immediately blames the left for this shooting with no evidence whatsoever. Any predicate whatsoever to justify Trump’s attacks on Democratic-led states and his foaming determination to declare the insurrection act.

Demonstrations should be organized in the locales which are now going to be poisoned with more radiation, more cancer, more expensive utility bills, and the perpetual danger of a meltdown or terrorist attack.

Lying war-monger Maria Elvira Salazar repeats the Bush-Cheney lies about uranium-something-something as she hawks a new, potentially catastrophic war for oil against Venezuela.

Of course she was using Fox Business Propaganda to platform her lies, and she’s an aggressively tacky, hokey liar into the bargain. But then, so is Trump.

My question is: why, as the Murdochs continue to promote incendiary, seditious propaganda, do we continue to allow them to do business in this country?

The hermetically-sealed dream world in which Trump has functioned most of his life does not allow him to recognize how ridiculous he is when he ascribes his own shortcomings to others, but his lizard brain realizes that by projecting his attributes on to everyone else, he is able to create a fog of delusion that somehow insulates him–at least by his cult– from scrutiny.

It’s called “accusation in a mirror,” by students of propaganda and hate speech. Somehow many Democrats still do not understand how to parry it. Gov Pritzer does. I look forward to his response.

btw, why can’t Trump stop spitting? How can anyone stand to be in his vicinity?

He wants to be Trump’s Leni Riefenstahl with his cinencomium to Melania Trump.

Now it’s Rush Hour 4 because Trump wants it and Trump wants it, apparently, as a pat on the head to Ratner in return for making Melania alook legit. And, of course, Ratner’s been accused of sexual harassment, so that makes him just Trump’s kind of guy.

Ruth Hour-whatever is the type of totally regressive trash that anyone wants to go to bat for?

Hollywood just had its worst October at the box office returns in decades. Letting Trump do the green lighting won’t help matters.

” Get ready for the dumbest possible state-controlled media,” says Matthew Belloni.

in 1991 brought us Bin Laden and 9/11.

In 2003 it brought us twenty years of quagmire.

Now, Trump and the Republicans want to do it all over again.

“We’re developing a new citizenry. One that will be very selective about cereals and automobiles, but won’t be able to think.”
