What is David Cronenberg KNOWN FOR?

IMDb: Cronenberg? Yeah, he's a bit actor who does mostly uncredited work, but he did get a credit for playing the gynecologist in the 1986 horror flick β€œThe Fly.” Also directs a little.

No justification, no authorization from Congress, and no clear objective.

But none of that matters to Donald Trump β€” and apparently neither do the safety and lives of American service members.

Trump celebrating that they changed the name of Fort Bragg back to once again honor Braxton Bragg, a white supremacist traitor who waged war on the United States so he could keep owning other human beings, and whose incompetence as a general was matched only by his cruelty to his own soldiers

That is not maneuvering around. That is ignoring the law

Jesus, @nytimes.com. You’re hopeless and unfixable.

He does not β€œvow to maneuver around the decision”; he’s vowing to ignore the law. How credulous can you possibly be?!? πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

I know it's later undercut by the smallpox quarantine scene, but the shots of the immigrants arriving in NY Harbor in GODFATHER II is inspiring, and, given Trump's immigration/deportation policies, devastating.

The concept of β€œlying under oath” is up for grabs right now. All the Trump SCOTUS judges did it about Roe. Kennedy did it to get his post. If one of these fuckers isn’t prosecuted it will be crystal clear that there are zero repercussions for doing so, and everyone will lie forever.
