@washingtonpost: On Friday, St. Petersburg cleaning crews had collected 15 tons of dead fish after 10 days of cleaning up, officials said during a news conf., as the cleanup continued. “9 tons of those fish have actually been picked up in the last 24 hrs,” St. Petersburg Emer Mgr
🔴 According to the @tampabaytimes, St. Petersburg is at the epicenter of the state’s recent red tides.
This was also a problem when Rick Scott was Governor of #Florida.
So Amazon is buying MGM Studios, which owns all the APPRENTICE and CELEBRITY APPRENTICE tapes with outtakes of Donald Trump allegedly acting like a racist and a misogynist.
I wonder if Jeff Bezos will release them...after what Trump’s buddies did to him?
💊 If they really want to bring Trump to justice, the Manhattan DA, NY AG, Georgia AG & the appropriate DOJ districts should hire Dan Schneider to help them.
After losing his son in a drug-related shooting in New Orleans, Dan Schneider pursued his killers...but quickly found out that his real killers were the drug companies.
He didn’t take no for answer, despite warnings from law enforcement and little help. He just kept going.
🎞 Interesting documentary on the recent college admissions scandal where many have served short prison terms for allegedly bribing the way for their offspring to get into prestigious colleges/universities, using Rick Singer’s “side door” method.
❓ But the more important question is: what about the “back door” method, where parents donate exorbitant sums of money to these same prestigious colleges/universities and their offspring miraculously get accepted?
The parents are free and their sons and daughters have Ivy League educations.
You’d think the institutions would be embarrassed that these people—who obviously aren’t as intelligent as their typical students—are flaunting their ill-gotten educations.
🎞 I don’t think I’ve ever been so blown away by a film in my life. It’s rough. It’s bone-tinglingly scary, devastating, brutal, suspenseful, heartbreaking...with a very small glimmer of hope.
Putin’s strongman in Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, has waged war on the LGBTQ community by kidnapping, torturing & raping them, forcing them to turn in their gay friends, sometimes killing them or returning them to their families and directing their families to kill them.
With the help of human rights organizations and lawyers, some of the victims have been able to flee, but the main subject of the documentary was not able to get justice in Russia after filing charges. 🇷🇺
Per @USATODAY: “We are not going to put young healthy workers ahead of our elderly,” said DeSantis, whose state has seen more than 21,000 deaths from the virus.
My brother said he was watching THE GODFATHER trilogy during the holidays so I decided to copy him.
In the middle of GODFATHER II, I saw this scene w/ Senator Pat Geary & realized (with all deference to Francis Ford Coppola), this movie needs to be recast with today’s villains.
🎭 The part of Don Corleone played by Donald Trump...
The part of Sonny Corleone played by both Paul Manafort and Roger Stone...
🗣 Maxine Waters on @allinwithchris: We should have impeached him sooner.
100%. It doesn't matter that the Senate would not convict. He should have been impeached earlier, more often and/or continually investigated; he admitted that this hurt him.
He lives in the moment & would have been distracted. He even said he deserved a third term because of it.
Also because it would have been the right thing to do. Political calculation should never have entered into it.
Trump is a criminal who belongs in prison and it is going to take a long time for our country to heal from this.
Not a lot of questions about criminal charges against former Libyan intelligence ofc Abu Agela Mas'ud Kheir Al-Marimi for constructing the bomb that killed 270 people when Pan Am 103 exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland.
When Barr was acting AG in November 1991, the DOJ charged two Libyan intelligence officers: Abdel Basset Ali Al-Megrahi and Lamen Khalifa Fhimah, 39 and 35 at the time.
Fhimah was acquitted.
Al-Megrahi died in 2012, but his case has been appealed.
“This thought where everybody is like, ‘Well, it’s my freedom.’ It’s like, ‘That’s not how this sh*t works, dumbas$.’
Your freedom is this: you are free to smoke until your lungs turn black, but you can’t do it on the bus...
Clooney (cont’d): You’re free to drink until your liver comes out your ass, but you can’t drink and get behind the wheel of a car. There have to be certain rules. This is one that says: put on a f*cking mask and we’ll get through this...
Clooney (cont’d): We’ve got vaccines coming—let’s save another 60,000 lives before the vaccines.”
George Clooney urges 'put a f***ing mask on' in profane rant mol.im/a/9061295
Right now, the Dems and GOP have 48 Senators each. Still to go:
🏛 Runoff for Reverend Raphael Warnock against Loeffler, January 5
🏛 Only 56% of the votes have been counted in #Alaska for Dr. Al Gross
🏛 #NorthCarolina has not been called yet although Tillis has a lead over Cal Cunningham
🏛 #Georgia has not been called yet although David Perdue is leading Jon Ossoff
🦊 Fox News should be heavily regulated when Biden takes over.
For the first year, the network should be forced to educate their viewers about the #propaganda they spewed and the lies they told before and during Trump’s “presidency.”
🎞 Another great film by Don Winslow. This one might be his best yet. Please watch!!
