I predict when those reporters return to the White House Dementia Don will call them fake news & continue his barrage of insults, further demonstrating the only things he’s fit to do is to be straitjacketed & muzzled, continuing his downhill plummet to a hell of his own making.

This is worth watching because it exposes the truth. Trump is famous for not paying contractors, staff, etc but he’s anxious to pay convicted criminals. There’s a reason.

Trump and his mob will try to deflect & change the subject. Don’t let them. The fact that they’re not bothering to explain why correct answers were marked “wrong” & hiding behind supposed rules show that it’s Trump & the GQP who are the ones rigging anything & everything. @jenpsaki.bsky.social

Pedo trash indeed. And let’s not forget his enablers: when Blanche met with the senators they didn’t say “get rid of this corrupt idea” they told him to “fix it”. You don’t “fix it” unless you wanted it in the first place.

Recently TCM screened DIVINE MADNESS, @therealbettemidler.bsky.social’s concert movie filmed at the Pasadena Playhouse in 1980. Brought back many memories as I was a guitar tech on that film. A while back I captured how during that filming I came close to missing an equally seismic event.

The Beatles' second film HELP! was successful in capturing their charisma. But the film isn’t without its issues, including those that are problematic from cultural, conceptual, and continuity perspectives--and for a subsequent scripted film put the band in danger of becoming the Monkees.

Wow! Trump’s idea was to give people “money” for health care. And how many tens of thousands will they generously offer? Wow, a whopping $84 or $125 a month, depending on their age. Guess that ballroom cost more than Trump thought.

In this first of a multi-part series on HELP! I look at its origins, its components, & its positive aspects. It may not match the now rightfully classic status of A HARD DAY’S NIGHT & future essays will address its thornier issues. But there is nevertheless a ton of charisma, & a lot to admire.
