Fragile Bird Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 HBO has been running All The President's Men. For you babies out there who have never seen it and don't think it's relevant, you're wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martell Spy Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 So, the President calls undocumented workers animals. Then makes a policy that literally puts their children in cages. Yet, they are supposedly not being treated like animals. Steve Doocy: Cages That Minors Are Being Held in Aren’t Really Cages http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/06/steve-doocy-cages-minors-being-held-in-arent-really-cages.html Quote On Monday morning, law enforcement weighed in, seeming to put the matter to rest once and for all: yep, they’re cages.

The fear I have is that the court is going to figure out how to duck this issue on technicalities until something signals a significant change outside of the court.

Shryke Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 2 hours ago, Zorral said: I, for one, have been wondering and wondering about this, since the report was released. What the Justice FBI report buried, and the news media plays right along with it: https://www.salon.com/2018/06/18/heres-whats-buried-beneath-that-fbi-report-how-rogue-agents-sabotaged-the-clinton-campaign/ I've seen the non-major media covering this a lot. The IG report tries really hard to softball it but the evidence presented is damning. The FBI staged a soft-coup to keep Clinton from power. The FBI is not fully accountable to the DOJ but also and above that to a fraternity of former agents who have both access to classified information and use that power to organize for political ends.

If it makes you feel better, I have seen it and yes, it is quite good. However, the problem is due to its slow pacing, it won’t attract many viewers outside of the people who are interested in the subject, which sadly isn’t a very large audience. Perhaps they should have found a way to shoehorn a dragon into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongRider Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 The unspeakable cruelty of Trump’s child-migrant camps SARAH KENDZIOR SPECIAL TO THE GLOBE AND MAIL UPDATED: 6 HOURS AGO JUNE 17, 2018 Quote This is the platform Mr. Trump ran on, after all: a platform of xenophobia and corruption. This is the culmination of the dictatorial ambitions and dehumanization of immigrants that smug journalists and officials told people to take seriously – but not literally. For Latino immigrants, demonized from the very day Mr. Trump launched his campaign, it was always literally. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/amp/opinion/article-the-unspeakable-cruelty-of-trumps-child-migrant-camps/?__twitter_impression=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If modern audiences are so ADHD they can't sit through it, then they should read the book. The film doesn't cover all the events in the book. Woodward and Bernstein wrote a second book called The Final Days. I highly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s fantastic at creating tension and the sense of danger in spite of the most physically frightening moment being some never identified noise in a car park...was it a cat? Anyways, Pakula’s entire trilogy were all awesome, doing the same thing in different ways. Or like the Conversation, the French Connection, other 70’s Golden Age films etc...movies that take their time, with a lot of periods with no dialogue and nothing obviously dramatic happening, but which really build the tension if you’re actually paying attention. Good Night and Good Luck was a more recent example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
