I thought he answered it. When asked if he paid $750, he said that he paid "millions." In fact Wallace repeated his answer. "You paid millions?"

I like the scene where a cop, trying to figure things out, idly scratches his jaw, using the muzzle of his service revolver. I wonder whose idea that was. "Let's put in a little message on gun safety."

Say It Plainly: The President is a Psychopath https://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-oped-the-president-is-a-psychopath-20200924-i4yegtrvjvelzgrqniinn6pvue-story.html?__twitter_impression=true

You want someone to explain Donald Trump? Good luck.

I was being facetious. "Plan 9" may be the worst movie ever made. It was Bela Lugosi's last movie. He died during production, so they replaced him with a guy who walked around hiding his face with his cape.

Trump doesn't get along well with anyone who doesn't kiss his butt or idolize him.

I agree. I think Trump agreed to withholding documents at the urging of advisors because he simply didn't want to be bothered with it. Too much of a strain on his attention span. Just like he didn't want to bothered with COVID-19. He agreed to a ban of travelers to the U.S. with Chinese passports and that was it, the virus would "just disappear," and he still says it will.

"Close Encounters" is good, but it can't hold a candle to "Plan 9 from Outer Space."

No ifs, ands, or bots.

Reminds me of Dan Rather years ago when some host on TV (I forget who) asked him what he thought about Juanita Broaddrick, who was in the news at the time. Instead of saying he believed her, didn't believe her, or wasn't sure, the great journalist Rather said, "Who's Juanita Broaddrick?"

Reminds me of Lee Harvey and Osvaldo, the two men arrested in L.A. in an assassination plot against Jimmy Carter. They were released and disappeared. Probably resuming life using their real names.

Because it's all about him. He doesn't give two cents about the people there, just the numbers. Wherever he goes, it has to be the biggest crowd ever. If some get sick, it is what it is. He sees those people just like he sees our war dead: losers and suckers.

I wonder how much Trump pays this Norwegian per nomination.

I have a theory that Trump is actually an alien life form from an outlying planet. The inhabitants of that planet out-lie all other inhabitants of the universe. Astronomers should name the planet Praevaricatio.

I love that picture of Trump the way he folds his arms so tightly across his chest that he looks like he's trying to smother himself to death. ("I can't breathe.") I'm no psychologist but doesn't that indicate a little insecurity?

I know all about the MIC. I know about the JFK assassination, the Gulf of Tonkin, the invasion of Iraq, etc. etc. etc. If I recall correctly, what prompted Mattis to resign as Secretary of Defense was not some desire to have an endless war, but the disgrace of the U.S. stabbing allies in the back. After Trump had a phone chat with Erdogan, he suddenly decided (gee, I wonder what they talked about) to withdraw U.S. troops from northern Syria, so that Turkey could move right in and slaughter from Kurdish men, women and children. If that didn't prove that Trump is dangerous and unfit, I don't know what else he can do to prove it.

Kim had to be rolling on the floor laughing while aides helped him compose those letters.

But which would be worse, our government giving access to the progressive wing of the Democratic party, or our government giving access to Vladimir Putin?

Wow. Trump attacks somebody. Trump contradicts himself. Wonders never cease.

When did I say Trump is "under the thumb of the MIC"? Maybe you're replying to someone else. I'm saying that I don't understand why in the world the MIC would want to see Trump reelected. I would assume that the active military would concur with retired General and former Secretary of Defense Mattis that Trump is "dangerous" and "unfit."

So if Woodward is a spook and this was timed deliberately to get Cohen's revelations out of the news, the assumption must be that the MIC wants to keep Trump, despite his disdain for intelligence, the military and our allies, love for Vladimir Putin, narcissistic self-interest, unpredictability, etc. etc. Why in the world would they want to keep such a threat to national security? I was under the impression that the MIC assassinated JFK for just imagining he was such a threat.

Watergate made Woodward the most famous reporter in the world. What insane narcissistic wouldn't want Bob Woodward to write a book about him? Better yet, two books! In the case of this second book, I'm sure that Trump, in the course of giving him 18 interviews, felt that he could easily make Woodward fall in love with him, just like Kim Jong Un did. And Woodward would then fully tell Trump's side of the story, which is exactly what he has done. It's self-destructive insanity. But I've always heard that crazy people don't know they're crazy, and that's seems like a logical explanation.

It wasn't an animal but a projector, and it's a very bad movie. Please turn it off!
