For my money, the most impactful scene in The Great Gatsby is in the denouement where she says โ€œtruly, he was a great gatsbyโ€ & whatโ€™s-his-name retorts: no, Daisy, he was THE great gatsby.โ€

Who opened for the first band or artist you ever caught alive?

If you wanna include the headliner, groovy.
But Iโ€™m looking to give love to the artists who took a lot of spare change, bottles, diapers and other bonky or biohazardous jetsam thrown at their heads, arms, and amps to warm up a bunch of hungry animals for the main act, in hopes of carving a path through us to their own glorious sonic mountain.

The American Nazi Party of Republicans is ending public education. We're || this close to it.

The Nazis we live among are ending public libraries. We're even closer to that being done.

The Nazis who own news and social media are unifying them.

The Nazis we work for are ending worker protections, and forcing all the illiterate and uneducated children of the poor into work until the sons are old enough to go to war and the daughters are old enough to start breeding more killers and slave labor.

Tend to agree with Rachel here: Blanche is checking some boxes that Trump team will try to use in closing to sew broader doubts about the prosecution case. There were few 'wow!' moments but you do have a witness who's shortcomings are well established.

"There are very few moments at which I think Todd Blanche and this defense is saying a thing that seems to mean a thing to this jury."

My best personal reference was the Satanic Panic of the 80s.
We werenโ€™t smart enough to know how music was bad for us.๐Ÿ™„
Music was blamed for us bristling against the status quo. We didnโ€™t have a war to protest, so they attacked our music, like they did between Korea & Vietnam.

If Palestine wasnโ€™t being bulldozed for resorts in the name of one sideโ€™s god, the people perpetrating this against students and their righteous rage wouldโ€™ve latched onto something else to keep them down.

Media coverage of Republicans stampeding to NYC to attack Trump's trial as illegit is marred by euphemism. This isn't just "currying favor" w Trump or "expressing loyalty" or auditioning to be his VP. It's placing Trump over rule of law

Rs are attacking judge, witnesses, prosecutors & trial as illegitimate. This isn't just helping Trump evade the gag order. The point is also to display in spectacle form that their fealty is to him over the rules that make the system function

"CBS News, in partnership with The Trace and Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting, reviewed records from hundreds of law enforcement agencies across the United States and found that many had routinely resold or traded in their used duty weapons -- a practice that has sent thousands of guns into the hands of criminals.โ€

At LEAST 87,000 resold in two decades. Which is being noted as a "significant undercount" because of incomplete and heavily redacted documentation.

I'm sure the excuse is something like, "B-b-but budgets are so tight that we have to supplement them in ways we definitely don't like, but are forced to do."

Michael Cohen testified that his main media contacts to get positive stories run about Trump were Maggie Haberman, Katy Tur, and Chris Cuomo.

Also,

He gave up on Andrea Mitchell because she kept forgetting or stammering on the stories he gave her. (Probably)

GGMcBG,

@bkm

Maggie is a clear hype artist for T-boy.

Tur always presented herself as soooo disgusted by having to follow him around campaigning and selling books about it, and grimaced appropriately a lot while selling him slowly to stupids.

Cuomo, is a punk. Always has been. And he was another right white face in the right white place with reach.

This is a constant trick with Trump that he trains down the line, until eventually it's the valet making the car payments of everyone in the lot and getting an IOU with each handshake.
