Mr Scorsese review – five hours isn’t nearly long enough to do justice to history’s greatest film-maker

There are volcanic tales of his explosive temper, shocking footage of nuns protesting his Christ movie and vast amounts of detail in this rich, info-packed docuseries. Then it reaches the 90s and it all peters out

Given the Trumpist assault on the patriotism of all who plan to attend No Kings rallies, I urge every Democratic elected official to attend one. They shouldn’t speak—if there are speakers, better to br less partisan civic leaders and citizens—but they should stand in solidarity with the rest of us.

Of course, note the timing

Wants to make sure Trump doesn’t accidentally do the right thing tomorrow

But all talks with the Russians are just a diversion and waste of time, fund Ukrainian weapons development, and production, and end this wasteful debacle

Like ‘Christianity’ just a convenient label for his fascism- and largely unassailable

What does Donald Trump possibly have to do with ‘law & order’ or morality

Besides being a symptom of deep societal issues himself

UTTERLY CORRUPT!

Trump's $40b gift to Argentina is mind-blowingly corrupt. Thanks to Jessica Tarlov and Ed Elson for bringing me up to speed. The bailout is actually a gift to Scott Bessent's pal Rob Citrone, who will lose everything if it doesn't go through.
