These people don’t realize that our minds are like steel traps when it comes to these betrayals. Ask me if I’ve paid money to see Susan Sarandon in a movie over the last decade. We won’t forget, motherfu**ers.

Forty if your credit sucks or a foreclosure is involved, and still rare. Maybe that’s why he thinks 40 is common.

I have been advocating for a “Summer Under the (Supporting) Stars” theme for TCM’s annual August roundup for quite some time, and Aline MacMahon is perfect for such a roster.

Omigosh, there is so much that is inappropriate about that certificate. Maybe that’s the reason for the look on her face?

He’s going to change the name regardless of what happens. Just watch. Another way to erase the memory of the man who once made fun of him.

Claude Rains never pronounces Ftatateeta the same or correctly throughout the film, on purpose. It is glorious. And Vivien Leigh is a wonder. (But she’s always a wonder.)

How does not a single paper realize that if they challenge him on some of this babbling, he just might short-circuit in real time. They’d not only save the country, they’d also win a Pulitzer. And maybe a Nobel. Just saying.

I don’t plan on fleeing, but I will contribute to the campaigns of every person running to replace these useless “legislators,” who will never get a dime from me ever again.

On The Gateway Pundit's podcast yesterday, Stewart Rhodes announced he's relaunching the Oath Keepers
He also urged Trump to “call us up as a militia" & "order us all to come together in our counties under his command."

![STEWART RHODES (FOUNDER, OATH KEEPERS): And one other thing I want to say is that President Trump, as commander in chief, always has absolute authority to call all of us up as the militia because every one of us — in federal statues defining the militia, it's every able-bodied male from age 17-45. And for us veterans, it goes up to age 64 because of our prior training and experience.
Right now, under federal statutes, President Trump can call us up as the militia if he sees it necessary, especially for three purposes: to repel invasions, to suppress insurrections, and to execute the laws of the union. And right now, we see all three of those in play.
...
And the militia is all of us. So the National Guard is part of the militia, which is why it's completely lawful for him to use the National Guard as he has, and he should do more of that, I think, across the country.
...
He could just say given the circumstances of an invasion, insurrection, and resistance against federal law being being enforced, I'm calling up the militia, ordering all the men to come together [in] every county, put the veterans in charge of training and organizing all the other men and just have them stand too and await his orders. He can do that and I think he should do that. And so that's what I'll be advocating for from him. So from the bottom, from down the rank and file, we can let President Trump know that we're ready to serve, encourage him to do that, call us up as a militia, order us all to come together in our counties under his command, which gives you complete legal sanction to do what you're doing.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:af7tqcetuyt352aolf3znlxe/bafkreialm4skuozqobejpd6vx4m6kuwsgtidxmmxvj3ftcff6otiuyohiy@jpeg)

I’m sorry for you also. My mother was indoctrinated via Hannity, so I’ll celebrate when that f**ker kicks as well.

Yep, don’t trust this. I’d love to be wrong, but he has a flipped vote from someone else, otherwise he wouldn’t be doing this.

I get it. I lost the last years of my mother’s life to that monster. We’ll both have reason to celebrate when he’s dead, hopefully of tertiary syphilis. I used to think that would happen in a jail cell, but of course that wish has gone out the window.

We will come out the other side of this, it’s just taking longer than any of us imagined. I still want to believe his open corruption is being noticed by those dumb enough to vote for him. He thinks he’s invincible at this point, and that will hurt him.
If only Dems didn’t help him last night.
