As you listen to Republicans fulminate from the dais about how Democrats have unfairly sought to impeach Donald Trump from day one, recall that Republicans, maybe some talking today, talked about impeaching Hillary Clinton BEFORE THE 2016 ELECTION. vanityfair.com/news/2016/11/r…
As to HRC's husband, as @JoeConason and Gene Lyons wrote in The Hunting of the president, Republicans, led by GA Rep Bob Barr (the 3x married guy behind DOMA) sought to impeach President Bill Clinton almost from the day he was elected via the popular vote. washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politic…
And that's not even addressing the utter, sheer and broad attempts to stymie, investigate and end President Obama's administration. Remember Mitch McConnell's declaration that his top priority was making Obama a one-term president? Thankfully, democracy intervened.

This is all Republicans care about. This is why they don't care what Trump does. Yes, Pence would rubber stamp the same Federalist Society judges, but he lacks Trump's cult of personality. Trump is how they rule a relentlessly diverse & modernizing country, as if from the crown.
If most ppl oppose massive transfers of wealth and power from regular people / workers to the rich and huge corporations...

And if the country is becoming browner & more secular but you want to maintain control & slow change (and voting) down, how do you do it?

Own the courts.
Trump won the votes of just over ONE QUARTER of the US adult population. Barely more than that percentage of Americans identify as Republicans. Mitch McConnell knows his party and his ideology can't maintain power through straightforward democratic means. vox.com/policy-and-pol…

Hello, my name is Kristin and I have never seen a single Star War.

After learning some incredible facts about moisture farming from @jowrotethis I’ve decided to watch every movie over the span of one week beginning with the original trilogy.
Things I know so far:

- Luke is a moisture farmer
- Leia is Luke’s sister but it was weird for a minute
- Darth is Annakin and he was mostly bad but his small head saved Luke in the end, oh and Luke is his son
- Yoda
- R2D2 and C3PO are robots
- Siths are bad
- There are many planets and they have different eco systems
- Chewy makes funny noises
- Storm Troopers exist. I forget if they are good or bad but p sure they are bad
- Death Stars are very big and where siths hang out

Llegó una nueva cinta de acción a los cines, lo cual no era ninguna novedad; los 90 habían estado plagados de ellas. Pero nada nos había preparado para lo que íbamos a ver. La película que dejaba antiguas a todas, acababa de estrenarse. Esta es su historia:

“ MATRIX” (1999)
1. Lana y Lilly Wachowski (nacidas como Lawrence y Andrew) fueron educadas en Chicago y comenzaron con una carpintería mientras creaban cómics en su tiempo libre. Pronto quisieron dedicarse al cine
2. Sus primeros trabajos son como guionistas, y el primero para una peli importante es el de “Assassins”, con Stallone y Banderas, dirigida por Richard Donner en el 95

En los discursos de aceptación de los Oscars, se le ha dado a Steven Spielberg las gracias más que a dios. Aquí están las estadísticas que a quienes se le han dado más las gracias con una estatuilla en la mano.

La leyenda urbana de que todos los relojes en Pulp Fiction están parados a las 4:20 es falsa. Algunos sí, pero no todos ni mucho menos. Hay relojes importantes en la trama que ni de cerca.

...........Samuel L Jackson is the narrator.
Ah yes, the systemic benefits of being a black man in Hollywood and not a white woman
It’s fucked up for most everyone who isn’t a white man but Brie Larson is Captain Marvel so you’re gonna have to miss me with the whole “why does the black guy get so many words in the trailer he’s narrating” example

Me ha encantado, si logras captar la esencia y conectar con la película te va a flipar, en cambio si no eres capaz te puede parecer una película absurda. Merecido Óscar a mejor guión, cada diálogo parece un puto poema.
Película preciosa en todos sus aspectos, tanto a nivel de historia como artística y técnicamente. Llama la atención lo bien cuidada que está la elección de los colores en cada escena, al igual que los planos y la fotografía.

No podía empezar con otro que no fuese Capitán Harlock (el manga que dio nombre a mi blog). La Space Opera japonesa tiene un nombre, y ese es Leiji Matsumoto. Y probablemente no hay personaje más COOL que el Capitán. Es cortito y ahora con una edición fantástica de @NormaEdManga
Innocent es probablemente el manga con el dibujo más espectacular que se puede encontrar actualmente en el mercado (edita @mwediciones). Pero su historia, la del verdugo de la corte francesa, es flipante. Un manga de época realmente original y sorprendente. Estoy muy enganchado.
