Was William Shatner or John Lithgow on that Alaska flight to watch for goblins?

"The former President [FAKE 'prez']
is suing the Justice Department
over their Mar-a-Lago raid… "

FOX is calling it a "raid" too
but it's Not a raid just 'cause
the Reactionaries call it one.

a Raid is when your
Disciples swarm the Capitol
and try to Overturn an Election.

"Trump's....his and Melania's portraits. ...two artists have already been commissioned, but mum's the word on the identity of said artists...."
I have it on good authority that the two artists are William Hanna & Joseph Barbera. The background for the portraits will be Jellystone Park.

@2, You watch FOX?

Trump's lawyers are so incompetent the judge told them they filled out the paperwork wrong and had to go do it again (dismissed without prejudice which means they can re-file). Meanwhile, the judge should be thrown out for incompetence as well, since one can't file a lawsuit without citing law and "the FBI is mean to mean" isn't going to fly.
And claiming the FBI is being used for political reasons to prevent him from having another stay in the White House? Seriously? Comey? Her Emails? Lock Her Up? Anyone? FFS, I wish the media would put a full on black out on Trump. No more attention AT ALL IN ANY WAY until the shit bag is in prison or DEAD. Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Forgiving student loan debt is just retroactively restoring state support to higher ed that was hacked away in the 90s. If states hadn't stopped supporting colleges, tuition and debt would not have skyrocketed.

18

@17 -- So you are saying it should only apply to state colleges and universities? Oh, and what about those who have already paid off their tuition. Will they get a refund?

It sounds like you have the makings of a reasonable approach -- but it would be dramatically different than what various writers on The Stranger propose.

19

@8 sure home them first, no one argues with that but where to home them? In the most expensive city in the state and one of the most expensive in the country? That doesn't seem economically feasible. You also need to come to terms with the fact some of them are incapable of self care at this point and need a managed approach. What are you going to do when they refuse to accept that care because it will come with expectations? So home them yes but until you are willing to put up some parameters on what that means its really just an empty slogan.

20

Nobody forced you to take out a student loan. Is that your signature, there? Pay up.

Student loan forgiveness is going to be better than the alternative. Both will have consequences. But loan forgiveness the consequences can at least be more predicted and better managed.

One way or another the house of cards is coming down.

His portrait - he'll be sitting on a golden throne, all bronzer, beige, and bouffant with white concealer trying to hide his bags. He'll be looking straight out at you, the viewer, with the expression, "How stupid are you?"

Her portrait - She'll be wearing some simple $21,000 job cut on the bias, an icy stare with as much of a smile as Botox will allow. She'll be trying to look all First Lady and all, but she'll be thinking about the coming season in St. Moritz. "Thank goodness," she'll remind herself, "I'm not back in my village making piroshkies."

@1 Teslick: That was William Shatner (pre Captain James T. Kirk of Star Trek fame), in "Nightmare at 20,000 feet", from Season 5. The unforgettable b & w Twilight Zone episode originally aired on October 11, 1963.
It is interesting to note that the screenplay for "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" was written by fantasy / sci-fi / horror author and screenwriter Richard Matheson, who also wrote "Duel", based on his own true published short story, and adapted to iconic director Stephen Spielberg's taut 1971 thriller and his first theatrically released film. Matheson [b. 1926- d. 2013], like bestselling author Stephen King, knew how to scare the shit out of people, particularly television viewers. Matheson in his biography credited King among his intense storytelling influences.

And Jas---it still makes me nervous about flying, too, as "Duel" does about driving on freeways and deserted highways.

@13 pat L, @14 xina, and @27 Bauhaus I: Hear, Hear! Bravo for the WIN!!!

@20: Down, Swifty, down. Don't they feed you in there?

Donald and Melania Trump: talk about corrupt, over-glorified toxic waste. Now, if the Orange Turd could just eat an e coli-laced Big Mac, swallow its own shit, and DIE already so the rest of us could get on with our lives......

Please do not refer to gremlins as goblins. They are different things.

@13, one of the problems with Trump is that, when viewing & commenting on Trump, people confuse 'stupid' or 'ignorant' with 'evil'. Trump, most unfortunately, is NOT stupid. He's evil as all get out. But he's not stupid. He may even be, when he expounds on all the things whereof he knows nothing, as ignorant as he sounds. But when it comes to gaming the system, he's definitely NOT stupid. Which is the reason I also think he will probably never go to jail.....which is a heck of a shame and a disappointment.
