A Downton Xmas Present

Image
You read that right...one of our fav series of ALL time, Downton Abbey ...closed shop a year or so ago...man, I threatened to watch it from the beginning...it's on my list...anyway, they tickled us again... they made a movie follow up ... YES! ... the trailer is out and the flick will be soon ...so, you who are like us, Downtonites , will get their fill...very soon...it's a good thing... For all of the hullabaloo of who the new Trump COS was to be...a name came up that surprised me... Mick Mulvaney ...in the past, a critic of Donny, but shoot, who hasn't been, or isn't now...let's just say, from the bottom of my heart...good luck to him...has to be absolute HELL working for the bloke...shut up and cash the check... We spent like 3 hours watching a new Netflix thang ... 'Innocent Man' ...something like that... a documentary out of Ada, Oklahoma ...two gals were killed within 2 years of another there in that tiny town...solved, then unsolved...alleged k...

Imagine

Image
Thinking about the state of the Union...er, Republic ...I awakened to the thought of, 'what if John Lennon were still alive today' ...his haunting 'Imagine' , one of the best protest songs of all time ...just what would he be singing now?...odd, that the others in music are not going there, too...like CSNY, especially Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, maybe Natalie Maines ...the list really is long...but, nobody is sanging protest songs ...maybe, cuz it's but one bloke that is causing the commotion...I dunno... Michael Cohen has a few months before his incarceration...and he has NO allegiance to Trump , anymore...witness his interview with George S on Good Morning America this am ...I read the transcript before we get it on the west coast... he directly points the finger at Donny ...the order to pay hush money to his lady friends...as they may affect the election...sure, but... how does this play out to the Republican Senators?. ..the ruling party... Aw poo...

Wishful Thinking

Image
Right smack dab in the middle of the Holiday (Christmas) Season , is the sentencing of the former Trump soldiers ...the first is his personal attorney, Michael Cohen ...well, former...got a 3 year prison term ...and my oh my, how Donny turned on his trusted ally...who guided him for a dozen years...who at once stated 'he'd take a bullet for him'. ..makes you wonder if Trump actually has friends... Manafort is next... a brazen contributor to the campaign ...even, known as a 'campaign chair'...until he wasn't, ha ha...and of course, got fired by Trump eventually...the path of most everyone around him and his present regime...sure, waiting in the wings, is the fate of Michael Flynn ...man, have you ever seen such a plight of former Trumpites? ...very real and you'd think embarrassing to the present inhabitant of the White House...and I don't think it is... Yes , I know I lead with this sort of thing, often...how can I not?...even his own faithful p...

Silent Night

Image
Holy Night , not even close ...loathsome is a better description...as the pixels aired the meeting with the House Demo Leaders, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, and Trump ...oh yea, VP Pence was there, too ...disgusting...as we ALL could see the tactics of a 'bullying pulpit' that Donald Trump uses... the pure distaste for the man, is evident by Pelosi and Schumer...as they can't even look at him ...while they TRY to get their points across...it's all about him, or the highway... 'you don't give me money for my wall, then, I will shut down the government!' ...and yes, 'I will take full credit for it' ... Can you imagine working for the bloke? ...has to be just hours and hours of personal rants...and you would run out of the White House, seeking some form of alcohol...or something...to calm down your nerves...I didn't think that this form of rule is even allowed anymore...and there it is, at the top of our very own political system...in th...

Smooth Sailing?

It's a DIVERSION , kids...no more than that...as Trump has reintroduced his WALL to the Tweet rhetoric this morning...bombarding the web net with his innocuous comments on the importance of it... threatening if the Democrats don't go with his idea, he would have our military build it ...of course, Mexico will get the tab...ha ha... The real deal , is that the his 'not built as yet' WALL , is already crumbling about him...signs of paranoia abound...his Chief of Staff, John Kelly, has had enough ...who wouldn't?...and now, he is having trouble filling the void... rumors are that his daughter, Ivanka, and her embattled hubby, Jared Kirshner, are doing the job in an interim basis ...oh my, that happens a lot, when you continuously hire, fire, and have people sprint out of the White House, often...to higher ground... A letter to the now Senate House , from a list of 44 former Senators ...was released yesterday...ie, 10 Republicans, basically saying to get thin...

West Coast

Image
You ever think this?...when we wake up here on the West Coast, Humpty Trumpty has already been up for 3 hours Tweetin' away ...cuz he's over there on the left coast, right?...say what?...man, he had some doozies this weekend, and apparently, nobody is safe from his sword ...well, except his immediate family... John Kelly , as expected, will finish out his time (sounds like a prison sentence) with Trump, at the end of the month...alas, he will be FREE! ...just has to be the way those cabinet members feel... Not sure who made this map , but maybe he (or she) should get Trumped, er fired... Watched a flick last eve, starring Hannibal L and Ryan Gosling ...made in '07 and you got it...new to us...I bet we haven't watched 15 movies in the past 10 years...something like that...oh yea, it was a good one, too... 'Fracture' ... Seeings that the Horse has been unceremoniously dumped from the FF playoffs , I can actually watch the NFL games unbiased... the Cha...

Time Stands Still

Image
Morning, kids...we have 16 days 'til Christmas ...just in case you are delaying your shopping...seems to be a crucial time, if you are using the web net...well, probably have this week to get the order(s) in...right?...as you know, I am listening to Holiday Music as I am writing this am...makes me thinks this... Isn't it wonderful this music thing? ...from years gone past, for many of the songs...as Time Stands Still. ..some of the singers are no longer in the living...but, their voices are!...they left us with those treasures, and their ability...product, may be a better description...in the past (weird intro) I have listed my favorites...but, not this time...just a generic idea... do what I am doing, and it will brighten up your day...at least, start your day off right... The same can be said about movies ...think about all the ones that the pixels play from like the 30's on up...if made well, puts you right back into time...in that particular era...so cool... I...
