In the opening, there is that text scroll about the escape route.. which was not something run by the US, but by the Mexican consulate in Marseilles, directed by Gilberto Bosques Saldivar. The Mexicans (being neutral) also rented a tourist camp and a castle to hold refugees until they could arrange their escape by ships chartered and re-flagged as neutrals.
Lazlo and Elsa may not have been heading for the United States (which had strict immigration quotas) but to some other place in America.
If the US would even give a visa to Victor Lazlo. I get the sense he's a socialist, and might have been denied entry for ideological reasons.
When kids come into school in February or March looking like this, it's because they've been on Setimana Bianca- a permitted absence from school to go skiing. You can always tell because of the tan with the goggles.
Rubio is sticking to the line that Canada couldn't survive as a nation without "unfair" trade with the US.

Trump's nominee for NASA administrator, Jared Isaacman, was arrested on fraud charges in 2010 & faced lawsuits in 2 states for writing $2 million in bad checks to casinos, according to government records and court filings.
Jackass Jared Isaacman, who has spent 0 days serving in the military or as a NASA astronaut. He founded Draken International, a Florida-based defense aerospace company that operates one of the world’s largest fleets of privately owned fighter jets. Its Black Diamond Jet Team performs at airshows.
Isaacman's own pilot call sign is the highly appropriate "Rook".
As I recall, one of the orange guy's casinos took a check from his dad to keep the doors open because he is the greatest businessman who has ever lived.
What I know for sure is that he desperately needed money right that very second, so his dad bought some number of millions of dollars of chips and then didn't use them. That's really illegal, but the law enforcement authorities didn't press the point. The part I don't know for sure is whether his father wrote a check or sent cash; I think it was a check, which his dad was good for, unlike the orange guy.
The Fetid Fascist is a divisive, diplomatically incoherent, damned dangerous psychopath.
If that vapid shit disturber is not removed from power with all due haste he WILL instigate some egregious military mash up involving the US that is going push nations into another world war.
There is a diplomatic thing called an aide memoire, basically a formal reminder one nation sends to another. I doubt that The Homunculus knows what that is, though.

But, yeah.. my favorite movie of all times.
My favorite movie of all time. I have seen it more than 100 times, but I get something new out of each viewing. It's pretty much a perfect film.
Do you do like I do, stand up and sing along with La Marseillaise?
Who let these two in.

I just noticed the zip pack w/ Casablanca also had Maltese Falcon, Sahara, Across the Pacific, and The Roaring Twenties!
Nice!

I'm pretty sure Canada has more "Rare Earth" (that's an adjective, not a noun, btw, Mr. President) than we do. They might be just fine.
Only the best ppl.

Wait - casinos take checks?
As I recall, one of the orange guy's casinos took a check from his dad to keep the doors open because he is the greatest businessman who has ever lived.
Many people are saying...

Well, my opinion of the ultimate goal is to have NASA absorbed into SpaceX.
All off-Earth communications will be handled by StarLink.
Yeah.
Okay. From the job board I have selected 11 jobs to apply for this week. Wheee!
Good luck!!
Best of luck!

Nice set list. Heavy on the St. Vincent (I'm woefully ignorant of her oevre but I'm learning).
We saw her again recently so we're still fan girling out.
I listened until Traffic’s “Rainmaker,” and had to turn in. A great program.
I love all things Jimi Hendrix. It's a great list.

What's next? The Erie Canal? The Gowanus Canal? The Kiel Canal? The White Sea Canall?
The ear canal?
If he indeed has any of his own teeth left, may I suggest a root canal sans novocaine?
It is now the NY State Barge Canal. convicted felon cheetolini only remembers the song about getting to Rome, so is confuzed.
I want to know how you memorialize canal myself.
The article asks those very same questions.

Now he is making noises about how obscure judges should not make decisions about pharmaceuticals... wait, what?
Is he talking about Kacsmaryk? 'Cuz that's the only example that comes into *my* mind.
Dang, what's with this car ramming attack in Vancouver? Sounds awful.

That is a staggering UNDERstatement, wise feline.
You should hear what Li'l Feller says. It would hose the internet though.
I suspect that Li'l Feller meowls machinations similar to the purr-fanities of Cat the Ripper.
yes
I try not to listen because I get scared.
I have no problem with LF, except maybe his countdowns into the show. It's almost impossible to see his individual beans.

Thanks. I'm reading about it on the BBC site, and it's all about Carney cancelling campaign events.
I saw that, but opted for the CBC, as they're closer.
Yeah, the Beeb is where I started this a.m. and hadn't gone any further yet.
Reince Priebus thinks that Trump is doing what stupid people voted for him to do. Again, Wisconsin is so very sorry for the shits we impose on you.
who dredged him back up?
These assholes are like the commanders in A Handmaid's Tale..."we let this get a bit out of hand."
We made so much fun of Rinse Penis's name back in the day!
Priebus needs to shut the fuck up, grow his beard and hair out, and go raise sheep in Montana.
Y U HATE SHEEEPZ SO MUUCH?
Goin' to Montana soon...
Shoulda made trump show his taxes in 2015, you feckless fuck.

Good read, for some hope.

Dispatch from India: I am now in Bombay (Mumbai is too weird to say) for a couple of days.
I passed an ad at restaurant while out with my cousin this evening: “Happy hour from 11am to 7pm”
I’m pretty sure that’s a happy *day*.
💪🏽 !!!!
LOL
Give my regards to Doctor Bombay, and his gin as well.
"Calling Doctor Mumbai!"
That's just too weird. Man.
Try saying "Bombay-Mumbai" ten times fast after that kind of day...
Ah, the Beautiful Bay!
