I finally figured out all this hoo-ha about ''Gaston" apparently he is a character in the HORRID Disny ''Beauty and the Beat" shite. Doie sNOT appear in the orisginal story of other films versions.
Only good ''Beauty and the Beast" film is the one by Jean Cocteaus from 1946 with amazing special effects by Cocteau.
The Disney version, like most of Dsiney's excrement, is an insult to the orginal 1757 story ''La Belle et la Bête'' written by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont , but moreso to the the great Cocteau film, one of the best films ever,.
OT: CNN reporting Zelensky meeting with congress. Who's this Zelensky guY/
I know of a Zelenskyy, but that other guy nope.
If I was running that place (never happen) I would fire whoever did that, even if it was only the chyron writer. These are gettiing worse and worse everywhere, but especially at CNN.
Look at it this way. 1989 was peak NY for TFG. He was living the high life in his golden condo, even as he was being shunned by the Manhattan elite. Something he's never gotten over, BTW. He didn't understand (and still doesn't) why he, an incredibly wealthy person with a classy wife, wasn't accepted into the best places in Manhattan by all the even more incredibly wealthy people who were the true movers and shakers of NY society.
See, here's the thing. TFG is from Queens. He's Bridge and Tunnel. He's an arriviste. Had he kept his head down, bought his way onto the right boards, been patient and bided his time, maybe he would have been grudgingly accepted. But that's not the route he chose. He's incapable of doing that. He's like an 800-pound gilt gorilla. It's why 90% of Manhattan voted for Hilary. Real NYers detest him.
No gilded apartment in Trump Tower, no fancy European hooker wife, no nothing he does will ever buy him acceptance by this crowd. So he's moved to Florida, where all they care about is your money. Nothing else matters. Apparently.
Ta, Evan. I'd say I'm amazed, but I'm not. Nor am I shocked. Just sick of this shit, and willing it to end. Preferably, Trump would end (or end up in prison), but I'd content myself with his voters and party losing any power they have.
I would say that a good half of the people I know who are over 70 think it is still the 80s. Or, rather, their notions of how the world works were solidified in the 80s, and they have not changed them since.
I can still generate roughly 800 lumens (equivalent to the output of a 60 watt bulb) from incandescent rage when reminded of that goon looming over former Secretary of State Clinton and stalking her in a blindingly obvious attempt at intimidation, AND NOTHING WAS DONE ABOUT IT. That sort of simian dominance display has no place in a political debate and it should have sunk his candidacy then and there. I don't know about you, but I seriously feared for Ms. Clinton's safety, and doubted that anything much would have been done if he'd escalated his aggression up just one more notch and became violent. Attempted rape live onstage would probably not have been a concern for his droolers.
He's living in his own fantasy world, where generals and dictators bow to him. Where he is a hot ticket and not a hot mess.
He always wanted so badly to be part of the NYC upper crust back in the 1980s, and they wouldn't have anything to do with him, and now we're paying the price.
Partial false memory in Dearest Leader's mind. Setting: Cocktail party in NYC circa 1999.

Allen Weisselberg: You know who that is over there Mr. (future Dearest Leader)??? That's Letitia James, the greatest, brightest, up and coming attorney you will ever see on Earth. Within 48 hours of graduation from law school back in '89, she got hired to go after Exxon. After a week in the courtroom, she got Exxon to pay all the money to clean up their mess in Alaska and forced Exxon to go into exile to Texas. She'll be someone to watch in the future.
Future Dearest Leader: Everyone in the City comes to me sooner or later for a favor. She'll be no different. When you go back to the office tomorrow, move some assets around so I don't have to pay Marla any money after the divorce becomes final.
"Sometimes he looks around and it’s still the 1980s..." 1984, to be precise.
Was that speech on the Republican Home Shopping Network?
Texas, it's a whole nuther country.

Defendant "day one dictator" Trump was speaking to the Young Republicans you say?

Courage appears to be relative…
LOL, he wants his mouthbreather fans to believe an actual general would tell him getting onstage with Hillary was "courageous."
Um, also Dallas is in our country.

Regarding the ExxonMobil bullshit, I'd like someone to ask him what SOCONY is....
