She had a mouth on her for real. And the movies let her walk to teh edge when they could. Plus the whole bi / lesbian thing which wasn't much of a secret.

Dad was on one of the Victory ships. They thought they were hit, but it was an anchor that cut loose and slammed the side of the ship.

George? Better than Charcoal. Still it just shows Rit knows the train porters, Calling him by his right name Joe is a step up. #Lifeboat #CreepyCinema #TCMParty

I am not running for mayor of LA. Don't need ot be specific. Also you seem to fail on that point as well. A strong trolling advocate then, but of no real use to inform voters.

She has all the power in her district to do what she'd do as mayor. Room to experiment and fine tune, but what has happened? Look I realize you want her, so you minimize her flaws or ignore them entirely. That makes you her advocate, but not very realistic about her real capabilities.

Fod trucks are an ideal self mobilizing iea taht serves up what people need where they need it. Eliminating them is a BAD idea. And her homeless encampment rate INCREASE in her term? Since council people are effectively mayors of their districts, she should be on top of this,right?

The audio in the background was George McGovern dropping Thomas Eagleton from the Democratic VP slot. "George McGovern dropped Thomas Eagleton from the vice presidential ticket on August 1, 1972, 18 days after selecting him." The Watergate break-in was June 17, 1972 #AllThePresidentsMen #TCMParty

And a bit of extra fun: if you lived near RAF Fairford and you see the whole bunch of B-1Bs line up and take off back to back, What thoughts start running through your mind? www.bbc.com/news/article...

Melvyn Douglas was hearthrob in his day. Up there with Frederic March and Warren William. Of course I never saw him until much later in his life. He was in a #TheCandidate clone, the #SeductionOfJoeTynan, playing an older Senator who is losing it but won't retire. #TCMParty #Ninotchka

Congresspeople do their best lying when they are speaking in Congress, where they are Constitutionally protected from being prosecuted. (Article I, Section 6, Clause 1)..."privileged from Arrest... for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place."

The difference is Mamdami knows what he's doing. There is no guarantee with Raman. Her history in LA is barely better than Karen Bass. She talks the talk, but the she crawls the walk.

License plate was in the video. Said US Government.

The only ID I saw was a US Government licence plate on the van. That plate is traceable to the motor pool it came from. And then supposedly, to the agency that checked it out. But good luck getting the information.

You see a kidnapping in progress, CALL THE COPS! Guessing is not helpful. Yelling only helps if YOU ARE YELLING FOR A COP. DO NOT SPEAK OVER THE VICTIM! LET THEM BE HEARD! If you are at the airport there should be plenty of them nearby. Probably inside at the screening, but lots of them around.

The Governor and JJ. Sort of an The Establishment Meets Hippies comedy. It wasn't great, but we didn't have good tv reception, so the rerun channel was one of the few we could see.

Over on HBO #Lanterns has an interrogation of a suspected alien infiltrator, pretending to be a truck driver. He knows all about Nebraska football, but he doesn't have an opinion about Barack Obama (which is what tripped him up). #OperationCrossbow #TCMParty
