No political expert thinks the GOP will avoid a blowout in November 2026. Unless Trump suddenly manufactures some event to jerk the rudder. Yet, I don't think more autocratic moves by him are going to endear him to the average voter though. The idea of invading the Falklands looks good on paper when you think Maggie Thatcher's UK is old and busted and you have Alexander Haig and the extreme anti-communists in the US administration telling you to keep on keeping on with unpopular measures against domestic opponents...turns out you made one move too many at the end of the day.

And Cory

Andor is the comp. Andor was better.

Thinking in terms of comps...."Casablanca" was an amazing movie and still holds up because, of the "La Marseillaise" scene: the point in the movie which really tears at the heart strings of the audience. I'm not sure we ever got that point in One Battle After Another. I thought we had hints with the Benicio Del Toro character and his enlarged operation and family but that seems incomplete. I saw similarities to "The Baader Meinhoff Complex" which was ultimately depicting the Revolutionaries as a disease of the otherwise stable West German society caused by the youth's reaction to the Nazi era and East Germany's exploitation of that youth dissatisfaction. "Antropoid" about the assassination of Heydrich in Prague has some comps. There is some of this same angle in "Deutschland 83-89". Not sure why I went to three different German examples.

Interesting

Finally saw One Battle After Another. I can definitely appreciate it. I don't know if I loved it.

This is also a scene my wife and I quote a lot.

It was a gay middle-aged male look for a while.

Michigan weathering the storm of MSU coming back from 18 down might not have happened even during some of our best Beliein teams. Give credit to Dusty May. Its obvious to me that Michigan's team isn't filled with plucky upstarts but professionals. Also, that game was way more intense than a tournament game.

Fears had a magic aura around him. But in the end we had too many dudes.

If you took the time to walk you won't forget the fellowship you felt during the walkout and you'll resist the nonsense bots that are permeating social media.

Be fascinated to see the Washington Post review.

Confirmation hearings might be spicy.

Pretti BTW, the greatest soundtrack of the 80s?

I'm glad Pretti kicked an ICE tail light. It mirrors Jesus in the temple giving hell to the moneychangers. The administration which doesn't understand Christianity is rushing to fulfil the comp.

His point that the county was pretty pro-Trump.

He’s going to regret endorsing that Jessie Waters line.

That is fantastic!

He thinks it does. That’s alarming
