Our government is disappearing people. Why aren't all of us screaming about this?

One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should somehow be more concerned about how a poor person uses the welfare system than we are about the ultra wealthy swaying the highest positions or power in our country to their favor.

She nor anyone else should have had to. 😐 We failed to ensure it wouldn't happen again.

All that followed from that scandal is encapsulated in a just-before-the-credits series of newswire headlines, up to Nixon's resignation. They pried open one piece, and the rest followed.

The bar scene where Michael Keaton's editor realizes the chances he had to break the story and didn't, because of his bowing to Boston's Catholic reverence, is chef's kiss.

Have you watched The Post, about the Pentagon Papers? Still parsing Graham's motivations for okaying the story.

I was thinking about this. Where are the lower tier people who talked during Watergate? Why are there no people willing to even drop hints to the press? Is it because the Washington Press are all capitulating to the Regime? Are there no true journalists left in DC?

Trump is on 60 Minutes tonight? Hmmm... perfect time to go clean the cat's litter box.

#TCMParty All The President's Men is airing and I am torn between loving every dry, irascible moment of Jason Robards as Ben Bradlee, marvelling at the non-confirmation confirmations, and mourning the loss of a great newspaper in our present era.

Remember when they basically locked up "Typhoid Mary" for life? Who knew those were the good old days?

If you like McCullough's prose, read his The Johnstown Flood.

So, basically, you're building the bubble world we all came here to escape? No thanks.

Per the Elections Clause of the Constitution: “The states have initial authority to regulate elections. Congress has supervisory authority over those regulations. The President does not feature at all.” Gifted.

Zohran is not "the future of the Party." He is likely unique to NYC. But his strategy of addressing human needs should be the future. More of that, please.

Gotta love seeing this... their incompetence is slowing them down, gumming up the works.

The Party can't control him, so they are undermining Zohran... ironically affirming why so many voters are clamoring for upending the Party establishment.

Everything is terrible but it was nice enough today that I caught up on some yardwork and enjoyed fresh autumn air and foliage.
