The editrix of this website raised $50,000 from the readers here last week, to give to people in need. Why don't you match that donation? You're a big time Hollywood player, that should be chump change for you.
The Wonkette Slush Fund has provided actual, tangible, practical help to dozens, if not hundreds, of people, which is far more than *any* movie has ever done. No movie has helped a single mother pay rent or a single father feed his kids or a disabled veteran keep the power on. You don't know fuckall about Wonkette or Wonkers.
Sit the fuck down & shut your whole entire mouth.
He must've learned at some point that during World War II, America incarcerated 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry — 62 percent of whom where US citizens.
History revisionist. We French have a few of them. It took us actually four decades to recognize that yes, maybe most of us weren't exactly in the Resistance to the occupying Nazis. Some people still have issues with it. These people's other opinions tend to overlap with (quite far) right-wing politics. What a coincidence, eh?
I'm actually afraid the US was similarly not very forward in talking about it, at least in schools, until the 80's.Well, FWIW, we French are not taught about this part of the US history, and I had lessons about WW2 on three separate occasions of my cursus in highschool. It may be different now;
I learned of it though a bande dessinée by Belgian author Greg (better known for the more humor-filled graphic novel Achille Talon). This graphic novel (link in French) was about Colby and two pals, veteran pilots from WW2 and recycled as hard-boiled detectives, and their Japanese client, the son of an American-Japanese who got interned by the US during WW2. (it was the second opus, "le soleil est mort deux fois", IIRC)
But I'm rambling. Now, if an US guy has gone through US history in academia and didn't learn of that part... He was willfully not paying attention.Or maybe Carlson was confused and thought his annoying guest was claiming that the US has arrested and interned Asian people now, because "Chinese covid". Same difference. Or wishful thinking.
This includes living legend George Takei.
When I watched Star Trek TOS as a kid, I barely noticed people outside of the power trio - Kirk, Bones and Spock.But now that I have to come to learn about Takei outside of the show. Yep, living legend. He has been and still is a force for good for the US society.
The CIA, like most secret services agencies - like most employers, actually - wants reliable people.And they should certainly have some expertise at hand in judging people's character. It's sort of their job."Not quite right in the head" is acceptable, but combined with loose canon and/or bad work ethics...
I remember some headlines following the success of the 24 series. Plenty of Jack Bauer wannabe applied to the CIA in the hope to satisfy their sadistic streak, and the agency gasped an horrified "nope".Not that the agency is against unofficial torture, but even for that they do have standards.
The same way that Trump is the embodiment of a certain form of the Establishment. Business magnat in construction/properties/entertainment with a condo in New York and a second home in Florida. It's a stereotype to the point of caricature.
True. Some of us taste bile when reading about open corruption in the White House, cruelty, misogyny, fucking Nazism being treated with respect by our president. We have a crime boss cosplaying a president, and it has put me off my feed. Attempts to sabotage affordable health care, election corruption, nepotism, openly serving the Russian fascist state, and on and on.
As for what we've done, how the fuck would you know? Should I write up a list and post it with every comment I make? That seems like it would be in poor taste, or worse, boring.
There are happy news sites, and more power to 'em. But this is a political comment mommy blog, and if you think there isn't cause for fury and frustration over the current politics in the US and rest of the planet, then either you're a fucking fascist yourself, or you haven't been paying attention.

Read my comment above yours!
A year? That would be inconvenient. We have always been at war with Eastasia.
I like that he thinks we're full of "bile." He's clearly new to the internet.
We should be honored...Ricco’s first comment ever! And 5 downvotes for it...that’s a ratio to be proud of!
This sounds like a fake story.

LET LAURIE GO!
I heard that Trinity College is going into the Academic Protection Program to go into hiding over this dolt.
Oddly, my German-American grandparents, my dad, my uncle and aunts were not. Must be some difference that explains the different treatment, but what?

I did not know this. My dad's family was/is German American. They were not interned, but they must have worried about it and known about it.
Thanx.
