Proving again that Trump is indeed making America great again.
That sucks, but then, so does Jussie.
I thought he was in prison now?
We've all heard her speak in interviews where she was not afforded the opportunity to review the questions beforehand. Clearly it was not a matter of not letting her think for herself.
He pretty much did his time anyway.
I've *begged* for that, but being the avowed and unashamed Capitalist that I am, I get why they don't want to release a pro-shot stage play of Wicked.
I was giving this some thought - When the book Gone With the Wind swept the country, people were screaming for an epic film, and given the outcry, many actors (like Clark Gable) were afraid the event was too big for any actor to do without getting criticism for not living up to the book.
MGM similarly went all out for The Wizard of Oz pumping a lot of money and resources into the film.
Both are timeless classics.
There was a similar demand for Wicked to be made into a film, but whereas MGM through everything they had into getting those 1939 films right (they did), it seems that the studio figures any filming of Wicked will put asses in the seats no matter how bad it is.
And it's too bad, it could have been an epic film in the mold of other great historic Hollywood legends, but this will end up as another Oz the Great and Powerful - a cute film but one that will pretty much fade away.
The rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain.
I think I've got it.
The business was actually swamped with orders from around country - people ordering goodies and sending them to a local first responders station for instance.
And purportedly one of the nicest people you would ever meet. She said she felt bad scaring generations of kids and having them think that she was like that person.

While you are being grammatically generous, I'd like to think he shot pieces of garbage in defense.
Pretty smart on their part - any publicity is good publicity, particularly for a band very few people know - even if they are protesting an American hero.
But really, that's got to be some kind of crappy festival if their headliner is a band no one has ever heard of.
How about the rubes who rig up airbags and fire them off when sitting on them??
Or at least saved me from a serious injury! Glad that car had them.
LOL
Glad you're OK.
Yeah, for the amount of times I've hurt my ribcage in my life, 6 weeks would seem to be the ticket, so another month. Yep. But I'm one of those really annoying people who see the glass as 3/4 full all the time - I could have gotten really hurt or even just have bad health from genetics. I'm a happy guy.
I could sue for pain and suffering certainly, and fortunately she was insured (surprising considering her old Honda in lousy repair), but a few weeks of pain is no big deal.
Thanks for caring.
My wife has a very leftist friend. She would post really stupid leftist stuff about Biden and Harris and I would politely comment on why she was wrong. I remember when she posted a meme comparing Trump's border wall keeping illegals out to the Holocaust. I told her she couldn't possibly be comparing those trying to illegally sneak [b]into[/b] America to the Jews who tried to escape Nazi Germany and were shoved into cattle cars and starved, gunned, or gassed to death. She couldn't debate my point so she unfriended me. Big loss..
Bluesky will be a safe place for leftists free of those inconvenient facts that dispute them. Best of luck to them.
Anyone interested in truth will avoid it like the clap.
You flatter me.

The smart ones did.
When The Donald appeared on screen, I tossed a full Lotta Lemon in the air dousing some biker thugs causing them to beat the crap out of me. In retrospect, throwing Goobers, Milk Duds, or Raisinettes would have been a lot smarter.
Considering Hollywood's support of Roman Polanski, it's not only OK to fuck kids in Hollywood it's OK to drug them in case they have the nerve to protest.
Still in pain, about the same as the day after. The day it happened there was very little pain but it got worse over the next couple of days. Today it's starting to abate. I was blessed with really good genetics - at 67, I can outwork guys half my age, but for some reason I've broken several ribs in my lifetime - never an arm or leg though. Whenever I got hit in the ribs either from sports or some work activity, I've either broken or bruised ribs. I've learned to sleep on my back and not sneeze. I don't think I've got broken ribs now but probably bone bruises.
No on suing the other driver. Nothing permanent, just a couple of weeks of discomfort most likely.
The girl who hit me is very young, and as several days went by, I think I've pieced together exactly what happened. While you're reading this, it won't seem to make sense, but hold on -
So I was on a two lane road heading north doing about 20mph as I slowed for a right hand 90 degree turn about 50 feet away, and the girl who hit me was coming out of the street I was planning on turning into to. Huh you say? "If she's on your right, how did she hit you on the left side??" Well, I was about 30 feet from the intersection and there was a car right ahead of me also signaling for the same right hand turn. The girl in the Honda Pilot pulled out of the side street and made a left turn to head south, but never straightened out. In other words, she did a 180 and swung around and hit me in the front/left front fender stopping my car dead (and probably pushing me back as well as into the right hand curb.
She was profusely apologetic over and over and said she was having trouble with the steering on the Honda, how she had it worked on recently, had just put in power steering fluid, was going to sue Honda, yada yada yada.
My guess is that she pulled out too quickly (there was a car coming from her right side), the steering didn't return to center, and she panicked and hit the gas pedal completing the 180 and hitting me hard enough to total both cars.
My first thought as my ears were ringing from the bags and choking on the talc cloud in the car was that it was either a drunk driver, a driver running from the cops, or a hit on me for being a jerk on Moviechat..
