Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.
Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
You made it, you own it
You always own your intellectual property, mailing list, and subscriber payments. With full editorial control and no gatekeepers, you can do the work you most believe in.
sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

I look at the current crop of politicians, especially those in positions of power, and I realize sadly that Admiral Tarrant would not be asking where do we get such men.....sad.
"Bridges at Toko-Ri" did NOT have a "Hollywood ending," which is all to its credit. and it came out well before "The Naked and the Dead." it really was the fault of the production code. William Holden didn't murder anyone, so the sad ending was...SAD.
"The Naked and the Dead" VIOLATED its source. Mailer was so pissed that he actually tried to sue the studio to get his rights back, but the case didn't get to court. it's a truism that when you sell a book to the movies, it's probably best to assume it'll get fucked up and try not to let it bother you. I doubt Walsh (who directed god-knows-how-many eminently watchable movies as well as hanging out with Pancho Villa playing John Wilkes Booth in "Birth of a Nation") cared about it. he'd seen HIS action.
btw Tom...you'd know if his stories about actually flying in the Lafayette Escadrille were true. were they?
