It's gotta hurt for Trump to hear a Jew, Saul Alinsky, was behind the vote count fraud, especially when he has always stood by Jewish guys as the most trusted for doing the counting at his casinos. Today's WAPO article on Trump's voter fraud craziness includes a clip from Fox where Trump claims the FBI should be investigating how many dead people voted, but they (the FBI) "are probably in on it". I hope there is a way to make Trump pay for all this. He is a nasty man, IMO. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/11/30/cybersecurity-202-chris-krebs-fiercely-defends-election-while-president-trumps-attacks-it-get-weirder/

Here is the 60 Minutes Chris Krebs interview, including discussion of the GA vote, and their Secretary of State putting country first. Makes me wonder who has the goods on Miss Lindsay, prompting that old queen to attempt to influence the GA vote count. The 60 Minutes interview does not mention her. https://youtu.be/YzBJJ1sxtEA

Never say never, but for now I am finished contributing $$ or political comment over there.

These two in the video played brothers in From Beginning to End, a Brazilian film. I understand the video at the link was a screentest prior to filming the movie. Happy Thanksgiving.

Not a beach read?

What is the MC you refer to? What was it about The Englishman you liked if the style turned you off?

Stacy Abrams' initiative in Georgia got enough new voters registered to put Biden on top there. Will the Democrats take that model nationwide, and perhaps promote Abrams to help? Doubt it. The Dems thought having Eva Longoria at their convention was sufficient to win Latino vote. The Dems have a knack for not understanding winning strategy. Maybe it's from maintaining the worldview of too many old straight white guys, still affecting decisions.

I have not read any of Holleran, but have read Edmund White. One of his includes an account of the Stonewall riots. Interesting!

Was a unanimous winner, though I'm curious why that would be known. I read Alan Hollinghurst's The Thin Line of Beauty which won. Were there other gay winners?

Is this going to be their next Benghazi or their next Birther conspiracy? Fucking Republicans. Seriously. ....and now, something funny.

I learned about Douglas Stuart last September when I read a short fiction in The New Yorker. a good read called The Englishman. Yesterday Douglas Stuart won The Man Booker Prize 2020 for his first novel, Shuggie Bain. The Brits and much of the world have come a long way. https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-54976523

IMO, a winner. DASH & LILY, on Netflix. Plenty of positive buzz on the Internet. A good choice after binging Queen's Gambit.

Augustus is an example of why I quit that forum. He cites as fact widespread voter fraud in NV, yet does not cite a news source. False claims about the election are supposed to be removed, yet Daddy does nothing, while he punishes other members, usually on the Blue side of the arguments. I don't have time for Daddy's inconsistent and often questionable standards.

Watched through epi 3 of the Good Lord Bird. There is a lot I love about it. Tomorrow night, epi 4.

Of the things I miss during the pandemic, one thing that's crossed my mind more than once is when will I attend a Rufus Wainwright concert again. He has concert dates set for next summer and fall in Europe, but nothing in the States. I look forward to COVID free times! He will perform tomorrow night on Austin City Limits taped last month. In the meantime here is an oldie. Tomorrow's set list is from his latest album plus an encore of an old fave.

A desperate madman.

What a great film! Being a fan of President Obama, I loved this movie even more. WH photographer Pete Souza's film is a documentary of Obama and of being the photographer for Obama as well as for Reagan. The times what they are, I post this under Politics. Yes, it does cast shade on what came after, but that is just one piece of a comprehensive look at the times of Pete Souza and of the Obama's.

The man is risen like Christ!

SNL found a sub this week after the scheduled musical guest was canceled. Jack White is being hailed tonight as one of the best performances in a long while. For his 2nd number, he played on an Eddie Van Halen guitar.

....more on Cruz. (a little Saturday night humor)

Just watched The Good Lord Bird epi 1 on Showtime. Ethan Hawke is amazing. Perhaps an emmy or two.

I like that idea. So I guess I could say I threw away an old pair last month. A weird coincidence, my favorite poster over there also decided to quit about the same time I did. I know a lot of guys go back, but not sure if I ever will.
