I'm watching Downton Abbey and one of the servants makes a reference to Tom Mix. I need someone with more silent film knowledge than me to tell me if it's plausible that an english woman who doesn't live near a cinema would know who Tom Mix is.

Rep. Eugene Vindman: " I want to start by condemning the president for calling for six Democratic members of Congress, all of whom are patriots who served our country to be hanged. It is the kind of thing we expect from a Saudi Crown Prince, not an American President."

Everyone who works in a library is not a librarian.
The trials are long and hard, the studies deep and exhausting, and let's not get into the "bookworm pit."

I always stand by Trump was never funny, and if you knew how bad he was and how bad he could be, you wouldn't find him funny. I'll be direct, if you found him funny you were an idiot. Yet idiocy can be rectified, you were only an idiot then. If you still find him funny you may actually be stupid.
