    I didn't place him as that character until you just mentioned it. Thanks. Yes, I also loved him in the Walking Dead.

    This looks good.  I may need to renew my Netflix membership.

    I have enjoyed Ali Wong's stand up. 

    Been a fan of Steven Yeun since The Walking Dead.
    After his character left the show my interest in TWD soon dropped until i ultimately quit watching.

    Well, I do. But, this Beef I am referring to is Netflix. It is amazing and was a suprise. Many friends suggested I watch it and it kept getting recommended to me so I gave it a try. And, it was a truly delightful dark comedy drama trainwreck. It was about roadrage initially but the stories were developed in such beautiful detail that you keep hoping and wishing the main characters would choose the right path at least once. But, as luck haves it, the show was additive and I'm so glad I watched it. It has a 99% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

    The population of Michiganders with Palestinian ancestry is around 6,000.
    It is a good point though, that the Democrats should keep their eye on the ball in Michigan.  The reason Biden won in Michigan is the much higher number of voters that turned out to vote against Trump in 2020 versus the 2016 cycle.  How might the Dems create that scenario again?
    IMO the Democrats do not employ the kind of strategies and modern tools the conservative side uses to capture and maintain the support of registered voters.
    Although voter registration initiatives in Georgia led by Stacey Abrahms deserve recognition for turning Georgia and the Senate blue, IMO the Democrats have left Abrahms in the dust.  Should Abrahms have received higher praise from the Party and should her effort have been repeated nationwide?
    Or are the Dems "all talk" while they send out donation requests then sit back and assume everyone will just do the right thing and vote Blue?
     I hope not. 
    That said, if the polls are correct that many Dems oppose Biden's approach to the Israel/Gaza conflict, then we could be watching the administration throw away re-election chances.
    Does it seem Biden has given Israel a blank check to bomb at will?
    Netanyahu should accept responsiblity for failure to defend against the attack and resign before the US gives Israel any more support.

    BN is responsable for this tragedy from start to finish, although Hamas is worse. The US is essentially bankrolling BN's entire operation, and our aid should be contingent on how it's carried out. BN's policies were the catalyst for this mess. Before BN even got elected, Biden should have made an announcement that the amount of US aid to Israel would depend on whom they elected. And now, Biden should make it clear that further US $$ would depend on how the fight was conducted.
    I remember hearing some Israeli government official saying something along the lines of "We're of course interested in what our friends in the US have to say, but ultimately it's up to us to decide how to conduct this war." I thought, "No, it's our money. If you can't behave in a decent manner, it's up to us to decide whether or not to continue to fund it." The arrogance of BN and his officials simply floors me. The US can and should put its foot down. 
    Certainly, one cannot in any way justify what Hamas did. The response, however, is becoming increasingly over-the-top, as plainly manifested by Israeli soldiers gunning down their own citizens, who were holding white flags. That was standard IDF protocol, not a fluke. Time to put a stop to this. There should be new elections in Israel.

    One might remind ourselves that when Maga isn't blaming the corrupt news and corrupt political actions on the influence of George Soros, that Trump has told us, (and he was very strong), how there are good people on both sides.
     

     
    That said, while Trump describes how the flow of immigrants at the border has increased bigly due to outflows from prisons and mental institutions, the reality is a benefit to our US economic engine: young, cheap labor willing to get out of bed and go to work every day.

    And you're happy for OJ as well? A bit sociopathic, perhaps? While agree that the amount awarded was rather over-the-top, Rudy did very maliciously ruin these women's lives with his outrageous lies. Not murder, but still vicious and malicious. What kind of a sick person would cheer for Rudy (or OJ)?

    Just ask Trump.   He said it very strong yesterday that Putin is a better leader than Biden.
    Putin will raise oil drilling bigly while Sleepy Joe is the most corrupt leader the world has ever seen.
    Believe me!

     
    Regarding immigrants 
    the GOP will try scaring the $$$ out of you by saying whatever it takes to get you to open your wallet, just like televangelists do.
    In either case, after they have your money, they have no viable agenda or policy other than vote for them and/or pray.

    If you're looking for something to do this weekend and still have the option, seeing Godzilla minus 1 IN A THEATER is probably WORTH IT!  
     
     
     
     
    If you're bored out of your mind but too lazy to leave the house... Zach Snyder's Star Wars (and Seven Samurai and 5 other better movies), Rebel Moon... is visually interesting.  Basically combine the disappointments of Valerian, Jupiter Ascending, and John Carter of Mars, though better than maybe all three of those movies.  But for fuck's sake stop letting Zach have any input into writing or the story!

    Actors should play roles. It really shouldn't matter if the actor or role is gay, straight or somewhere in between. There have always been more gay actors playing straight roles than vice versa. Also, thank goodness there are now diverse gay roles to play as against the single gay stereotype.

    Another somewhat recent example how it is OK" to be gay and/or play gay,
    In Space Station 76,  a straight character was played by a gay actor and a gay character was played by a straight actor.  Love that movie.  I'm not at all affected as a viewer knowing the actor's sexuality is not the same as the character's.  The performances were spot on!   The creators were queer.  A funky movie that didn't get enough hype.

    Even if he read Hitler speeches would he remember what he read?

     Or is someone reminding him how to pander to his base?


     
    That said, Trump has never been shy about his Jewish friends.
     

     
    In the end, Trump is twice the age of Hitler.   I don't mean to sound ageist, and bless his heart, but TFG doesn't pull off his Nazi routine well.  He sounds less like a screaming der Führer and more like a big balloon wheezing out through its unfastened flap.
