Not to imply that the @NYTImes is obsessed with Trump running once again and desperate to have him back on their pages -- Instead I'll just display it.
All of these are from THE PAST DAY

Annnnnnd...there's more

I'm looking forward to the "There is no need for Trump and no one cares about him" series, delivered in 127 parts over the next 2 years.

Seriously - somebody send mental health providers to the New York Times Building, STAT.

This piece is woefully insufficient in assessing what @60Minutes let transpire and delivered as 'journalism'.
Describing what they did as ''missing the mark'', and describing it as a ''sloppy moment'' completely excuses the malpractice they committed in going after DeSantis.
1/
The 'Pay for Play' is a serious accusation, insinuating a company bribed a government leader.
Not only did the show fail to provide evidence, it did not even describe the benefit the company allegedly received. They implied criminal behavior in the absence of a crime
2/
While @60Minutes claims they edited the presser discussion for time and ''clarity'', they did not clarify -- they altered the response from DeSantis entirely. He explained in the answer why Publix was a first retailer choice; the show never explained the detail.

The press subsisted for years on President Trump allegedly involved with Russia. Deals with a foreign enemy, profiting while a threat to our nation, and tight with Putin while servicing a communist nation.
All said, the press should be very concerned about Joe Biden. A thread
1/
- Biden's friend former Senator Chris Dodd was President of Motion Picture Assoc. of America. Dodd praised Biden for Hollywood getting sweetheart deals with China.
- Biden met with Chinese politicians in LA and got an agreement for more US films and a greater cut of profits.
2/
-Also at the meetings with Chi-Com dignitaries were studio heads. By the end of their trip Dreamworks had a deal for a Chinese division valued at hundreds of millions.
- More studios made partnerships in China.
- China made inroads in US marketplace.

'Roight then -
Tonight we keep #ButlerFest moving along, our annual monthly tribute to master thespian @GerardButler.
This go 'round he places himself in the hands of Guy Ritchie, so Gerry is immersed in the mean streets of London for the ensemble crime romp ''Rocknrolla''. Image
Guy Ritchie exploded on the scene following his stylish neo-noir crime movies “Lock, Stock, & Two Smoking Barrels”, and the very excellent “Snatch”. His career was to be stratospheric

Then he met Madonna.

Then he made “Swept Away”. No more need be said.
#ButlerFest
#Rocknrolla
After years of middling success after martyring Madge Guy attempted to get back to his roots here with a gritty but flashy London crime caper.
Expect caffeinated editing, Dutch angles, a slew of arcane characters and accents thicker than blood pudding.

It feels right for some Gerard Butler magic as we continue on our monthlong celebration of Scotland's master thespian.
I'm working without a net here, as I delve into a thriller of his I have never seen - SHATTERED.
The DVD-level poster speaks volumes.
#ButlerFest
#ShatteredMovie Image
A couple in a wonderful marriage becomes threatened by an outsider - with nefarious intentions! (all drama is assumed, at this stage.)
This 2007 thriller was once called ''Butterfly On A Wheel''. They dropped that clunker for a wholly generic title.
#ButlerFest
#ShatteredMovie
All right, let's dig in...
During the production cards we hear lightning - a promise of thrills and intrigue to come. These films, like a campaigning candidate, usually fail to deliver on those promises.

Okay Jerks -
The mean cyber gods kept me off of the intertubes for a few days, so I am kicking off our annual August #ButlerFest in proper fashion.
Allow me to walk you through the CLASSIC that is GEOSTORM. This is a film that demands to be seen, to be appreciated - to be loved. Image
This is the one sheet from the release. Looks damned dramatic, eh? That wave is what, 50 feet tall, 100 feet? ? ?
Well, we'll never know.
The studio sold the film with an image that never takes place in the movie itself. Image
Things open in dramatic fashion -- with a voice-over. The film is rooted in the threat of global warming, with all the dire perils and all of the science needed to save us from ourselves.

So they give us stock footage of bad weather, and a lecture from an eight year old girl. Image

COVID-WAR DIARY:
My recruiter never told me about the realities - of course he didn't. He made Wuhan sound like an exotic place. But before you knew it we were hunkered, but thankfully my roommate was a veteran of H1N1 - he saw the trouble coming.

#CovidWarDiary

Early into the siege the supply line were cut off. We lost Charmin Hill first, then they blocked access to Cottonelle Valley. We heard from Dollar General there could be some needed rations. They were 1-ply, but we took what we could carry
2/
#CovidWarDiary

We were isolated by an offensive. One by one access routes were blockaded; beach heads, the forests, even most food supply lines. It soon became apparent this was done to make grocers intentional choke points. We had little choice; Keebler rations were needed
