Michael Moore Punches Down

By PeraclesPlease on Fri, 05/08/2020 - 1:54am |

Is he becoming Kid Rock?

I remember him saying he refused to recycle because he saw a truck mixing bins. But I live in a country where we successfully separate and recycle. Yes, in Europe - America should try it (with his encouragement for a change?)

DoJ Craziness Thread

By PeraclesPlease on Thu, 05/07/2020 - 2:59pm |

DoJ claims they can't release Mueller grand jury info to House.

DoJ starts withdrawing Flynn cases.

What else?

DOJ has officially gone to SCOTUS to stay the DC Circuit's ruling to turn over Mueller grand jury materials to the House, arguing it would suffer irreparable harm if it had to release the info: https://t.co/F00eeEhqjm pic.twitter.com/KZnPdP9VPQ

Once We Were Queens

By PeraclesPlease on Thu, 04/16/2020 - 1:33pm |

The heyday of female directs, gone, er, with the wind.

Did they really need a League of their Own? Was it a rude Awakenings to find it all burned down? We *are* more woke about all this stuff these days, right?
