Do not accept the Michael Douglas - Albert Brooks remake. The 1979 original, with Peter Falk as a spy and Alan Arkin as a New York City dentist, is a near-perfect comedy.
The The In Laws (1979) should be required viewing. Peter Falk and Alan Arkin are side-splittingly hilarious. It ranks up there with "What's Up, Doc " as my two favorite 1970's comedies.
The immortal (albeit dead) Richard Libertini (Subway Ghost in . . . Ghost and exxecntric science teacher in Fast Times at Ridgemont High--who's wife was played by soon-to-be-murdered by Phil Spector, Lana Clarkson).
I may have to keep myself alive to be here for that! I won't be able to dance in the streets, but I can be pushed out in a wheelchair and pound on pots and pans! 🥳🥳🥳
I can probably do that too if all my grandkids don’t hate me by being too poor to leave a will dividing the family fortune. Maybe they led shove me into the street amidst the chaos
And the people will feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats, and large chulapas...
Since he’s hellbent on eliminating holidays relating to persons of color, I think the day of his death (hope it comes quick) should be a national holiday.
Or if maga tries to trusk's death or birthday a national holiday, rename it immediately as Medgar Evan's Day, John Lewis's Day, or. MLK Jr Day. Not sure if turd has wiped away MLK Day.
Since Nov. 5th, I've felt like Gene Wilder in "The Producers," stroking the side of his face with the remaining swatch from his childhood blankie and moaning, "No way out. No way out."
Now, there’s a funny movie. The 1968 original, not the remake. Although the remake wasn’t bad, the original was sheer hilarity. The NY Civil Liberties Union got hold of a print and ran it as a fundraiser. I think the tix were $5 or something.
Everyone had seen it multiple times by then, so we all knew all the lines. It was like the Rocky Horror Picture Show for Libs. Everyone would stand up and yell lines at the screen. I think I had seen it may 10 times by that point.
Currently there are 34 lawsuits filed. He's averaging 3 per day. The most litigated assclown in the US is the president. There was approximately 1000 lawsuits during his first reign. He's on track for at least three times that amount.
Thanks to the microplastics I had to use a calculator but if Mango Mussolini keeps up 3 lawsuits filed against him per day that’s 4,386 during the time he’s in office. Unless the cheeseburger avenger strikes home early.
It's probably being discussed as we speak. The Kennedy family would never want this brain dead fuckface to be chairman let alone have anything to do with the cultural center and memorial to JFK. It's possible that all of those years of Dump using plastic straws for packing his nose caused those creatures living his dome to fry a few circuits and in Dump's case, probably more.
A second horror for the Kennedy family after RFK Jr.'s entrenchment as a fixture in national media coverage and his positioning as our next Secretary of the HHSA. Wonder how much plastic is in HIS worm shit cranium.
And don’t laugh- researchers have found that micro plastics are found in all our organs but especially the brain. And the amount present had doubled in the last 8 years.
I saw a picture the other day of a teaspoon filled with plastic from a human brain. This is so serious, but oil companies don't want it banned because they make money from it. They kill the climate and they kill us. How do they expect money and live, in the end? I told my husband to stop buying/using plastic, although I don't do it myself very often. I suggest metal straws, although I grew up using paper straws, just like T did. I got my straws from one of those get rid of stuff you don't want Christmas giveaways. No one wanted them, but I sure did. This was maybe 10 years ago.
The first performance will be the J6 Prison Choir singing Trump’s favorite anthem ‘Justice for All’. 😫
I spent most of my life living and working in and around DC and have been to the Kennedy Center too many times to count, so this makes me sick! Trump probably wants to change the name to the Trump Center for Performing Arts. 🤬
I sincerely hope that after this nightmare is over, everything he names trump will be immediately changed back, cuz you know he’s going to name everything from buildings to highways to bridges after himself. (Golden showers gate bridge???) If he actually has a headstone, the family will have to post Eric there to guard it and hose it down every 15 minutes.
We used paper straws all the way through high school because the plastic ones didn't exist. If the Felon-in-Chief had ever gone to a public school and had a school lunch, he'd have known that because he is older than I am. What a freaking moron!
I have seen pictures of what plastic straws do to wildlife. A tortoise with a straw up one nostril. A racoon with a straw stuck on a claw. That's probably another reason why Biden wanted to ban plastic straws. It's fine with me if the Buffoon-in-Chief wants to suck through plastic straws if he just keeps them locked up with the fabric swatches. His own little sicko collection of filth.
I began carrying my own glass and silicone straws years ago. The urban legends about people losing their eyes during sudden stops in their cars have never happened. But accidental lobotomies might be a good thing 🤔 😏 😉
Musk has demanded that Judge Engelmayer, who ordered him to stop the seizure of the Treasury, be impeached. The shit is starting and I suspect Musk will refuse to obey the order. Judge Engelmayer could hold Musk in contempt. I have no idea what will happen then - the US Marshals are under the control of the executive branch and obviously won't be ordered to arrest Musk.
Not giving up, but being real like Linda. The Dems don’t have a spine save for a handful. The ReTHUGliCONs are all bought in to the power grab. Cronies are being placed at every agency.
How about our own proud boys clan to bother the tech bro incels who are doing the actual damage? They have to leave the building sometime. Let them know that their efforts are Not appreciated by most of us. I’m tired of going high- We were buried by that attitude!
1. Orange Fuckwit’s handlers are giving him all kinds of shit to focus on to keep him occupied while the country is being dismantled. Think giving a rattle to a baby to keep them amused.
2. Microplastics in My Brain would be a great name for a band.
OMG. "Microplastics in My Brain” Someone needs to do this…. in costumes that wouldnt interfere with the instruments. A plastic straw on bass, a bottle of Tide on drums. 😂😂😂
The Evangelicals and Christian Nationalists hate the arts. I broke off a friendship with an old high school "friend" who found religion because of her outrage that during COVID the museum of art in NYC got COVID relief money. I told her they are also a business and have employees/overhead to pay. Fuckity bye old friend.
I posted about this a couple days ago - after retrieving my exploded brain. The idiot with THE WORST TASTE IN THE WORLD is going to decide what we call "Art"???!!!!
I scare myself sometimes. I try to always be kind, and even try to understand why people act mean - usually because they have been badly hurt. But something broke in me over the last decade. Seeing cruelty and bigotry elevated to the degree it has been....where is the humanity? I don't like feeling - let alone expressing - hatred. I used to believe that the best way to handle enemies is to make them my friend. I just can't be friends with toxic people. And I'm unable to pity them. I've lost my compassion for millions of my fellow Americans. 💔 Most frightening of all - I look forward to their downfall. This is not who I want to be.
I understand that. Completely. Where IS the humanity??? I think there has been so much manipulation from media and social media. So many humans have lost their way. I’m typically a “cup half full” kind of person, but man… even close friends have slipped into this cult. 😭
I’m with you. I have never hated anyone as much as I hate him. And I hate people as a rule—I’m a New Yorker. I hate him so much that I feel diminished by my hatred of him. It’s not healthy, this hatred.
Didn't that show also have the sleepy hound dog, Beauregard? He'd only wake up when the man lifted an ear and yelled "HOT DOGS! HAMBURGERS! SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS!" I remember that show from my early childhood.
The transformation will be complete when King Donald books the WWE and Kid Rock at the Kennedy Center. I don't know General Garcia, but if you're old enough, you'll remember Bananas - "Underwear will be worn on the outside. The national language is Swedish." We're a couple of Adderall away.
Donny can shove his drinking straws up his backside. Here's a bigger problem: on Friday the NIH announced that they are cutting indirect funding rates to 15%, effective Monday. For those not familiar, the current indirect funding rates are approx. 27%, so this is cutting them almost in half. "Indirect funding" means money allocated by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to research universities for things that don't directly pay for research (hence the "indirect") but that are key to support the university and its researchers. We're talking things like:
-providing electricity, running water, waste pickup to research labs
-facilities, maintenance (like if a pipe leaks and you need to have it repaired)
-administrative support - HR, compliance with federal regulations, etc.
As Jeff would put it, half of our indirect research support is now going fuckity-bye because Donny and his tech bro consiglieri hate scientists and researchers, and consider us all a bunch of arrogant woke elitist pinko commies.
If this goes through, it will absolutely devastate research in this country. I can only hope that enough Republican Congresspeople (many of whom have constituents who receive lots of NIH money) will make enough noise about this that this won't go through. I'm a researcher and so is my husband, so this is super personal to me.
I saw a story in The Guardian that the amount cut will be 4 billion. I have a kid who’s a researcher at a major university, so I understand your concerns.
The Hoff is a Trumper?! He is strangely popular here in Germany, but not just because of Knight Rider but as a singer. I remember video of him on top of the Berlin Wall when the border came down.
The Orange Blob uses an old sales technique. throw enough shit against the wall and some will stick.
Invade Greenland and Panama. Tariffs for our 51st State, Canada & Mexico,. Build a cabinet of the most inept people he could dig up. (RFKjr actually looks like a zombie). Destroy some government Departments. Invade the Department of Treasury to get our private information. Do away with the 14th amendments. Remove every immigrant he can find. (Great theory; remove them all, and your sure to get the drug dealers, etc.).
Don't forget the cherry on top of his horse shit sundae. Take over Gaza. Remove 2 million Palestinians. (How about we send them to Greenland?) Then The Blob will partner with Elon "the sleeze," Jeff "Every day is Prime day" Besos, Mark "the Gutless" Zuckerberg and other zillionaire buddies to create the DEI Free Riviera. Only white men allowed!
WHY USAID?
Lets face it. Most Americans couldn't give a rat's ass if USAID closed down, as long as the price of their twinkies doesn't go up.
Here is what will happen after USAID; MILLIONS of people will die; mostly children. How many lives is your dozen eggs worth?
China and Russia will get a leg up on winning the hearts and minds of the people effected. Thousands will join radical organizations like ISID, Hamas, etc.
USAID provides grants to many organizations most of you don't know about. For instance, In the midst of the vicious Ukrainian winter, since Russia has destroyed so much of Ukraine's infrastructure,
People are freezing to death. USAID give a grant to an organization called, "HOPE FOR UKRAINE". The money provided buys firewood that provides some relief from the severe winter. A simple thing that saves lives!
sadly, there are only two General Garcia clips on youtube.
one is age-restricted because of nudity, and youtube has disabled embedding into posts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELy2ZOkxEHI&t=155s
the other is badly overdubbed in Spanish

does everyone here love The In-Laws as much as Ms. Spouse and I do?
I must admit, I saw it and had forgotten this. Must be the microplastics.
Ditto
Hahahahahahahahaha Bravo, Kay-El!🤣🤣👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Serpentine! Serpentine!
I was going to post that if no-one else had
That line alone brings tears of laughter. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The "They're carrying off babies!" line is also reminiscent of "They're eating dogs!"
My favorite scene!
Jose Grecos de Muertos
😂😂😂
It's amazing how many situations that can be worked into
I haven't seen it. I'd like to now !
I’m with you Kristy!!
Do not accept the Michael Douglas - Albert Brooks remake. The 1979 original, with Peter Falk as a spy and Alan Arkin as a New York City dentist, is a near-perfect comedy.
Right.
Just say it into your tv remote microphone and all will pop up but don’t select the remake with Michael Douglas
Richard Libertini also played Prakha Lasa in one of my all-time favorite movies, "All of Me".
Back in bowl!
Oh, he was great!
The The In Laws (1979) should be required viewing. Peter Falk and Alan Arkin are side-splittingly hilarious. It ranks up there with "What's Up, Doc " as my two favorite 1970's comedies.
One of my all time favorites.
The immortal (albeit dead) Richard Libertini (Subway Ghost in . . . Ghost and exxecntric science teacher in Fast Times at Ridgemont High--who's wife was played by soon-to-be-murdered by Phil Spector, Lana Clarkson).
No, that was Vincent Schiavelli—also played a teacher in “Better off Dead”!
Yes, my bad. I think Richard Libertini was in second Batman film.
Absolutely one of the best movies ever. Peter Falk gives an Oscar worthy performance and Alan Arkin is great as his brother in law.
Thank you for referencing it and bringing it to the attention of your readers, who will all enjoy it immensely. It is very much worth a view.
Waiting for flames on Air Force One!
I'm laughing out loud just thinking about how funny that movie was!
I love the late Richard Libertini playing Grneral Garcia. He showed up on "Barney Miller" from time to time as some real whacko characters.
Sorry! Not watched it but will add it to the list.
Please don't hate me but I prefer and absolutely love the remake starring a young Ryan Reynolds.
No hating allowed from me or anyone else…I haven’t a clue about any of it Carol!!
Have never seen any of it, what am I missing??
I never even heard of it... I don't think I'm missing much....
I used to like it but Trump ruined it for me.
I can’t remember watching it
Who's going to report me, your ghost?
The day he dies is going to be the best day in American history.
There will be more rejoicing than anything with dancing in the streets.
I can hear all the car horns honking,,,,, just like when the Cubs won the World Series in 2016!
It cant happen soon enough. Rejoicing and revolution!
I may have to keep myself alive to be here for that! I won't be able to dance in the streets, but I can be pushed out in a wheelchair and pound on pots and pans! 🥳🥳🥳
I’m 84, so I hope I live long enough to know he’s out of power.
My will to live will keep me alive until he is gone. Then I can die in peace.
This makes me think of the line(s) from the Grateful Dead song "Hell in a Bucket":
"There may come a day I will dance on your grave
If unable to dance I will crawl across it
Unable to dance I will crawl
Yeah!
Unable to dance I'll crawl"
👍👍
You and me both Paula. I'm sure someone will push us.
I can probably do that too if all my grandkids don’t hate me by being too poor to leave a will dividing the family fortune. Maybe they led shove me into the street amidst the chaos
And the people will feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats, and large chulapas...
For the love of God, not the sloths!
Bats made of fruit ? 😋
#pantsoptionalvodkamandatory
Dang, now I have the song “Celebration”in my head 🤣🤣🤣🤣🕺🏼🕺🏼💃💃
i hear there is a waiting list for pissin on his grave, i'm lucky, i got ticket #1
I want to be #1 to shit on his grave.
I've always said that instead of a library he should get a trump memorial port-a-potty instead.
i'll see what i kan do!
Bring your dog with you if you have one.
#1 to do a #2. Okay, you're on the list.
That will cost extra because of the yuge earthmovers required to clean it up each night.
And I want to be "#2"....
His service ought to resemble the one shown to Scrooge by the Ghost of Christmas Yet-To-Come
His death celebration will bring in a bigger crowd than any of his rallies.😂
How about burial via dropping into active volcano 🌋
This actually happens in a book which came out early in his first term:
https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/437352/trumps-christmas-carol-by-lucien-young-and-watt-t-dickens/9781473554504
Since he’s hellbent on eliminating holidays relating to persons of color, I think the day of his death (hope it comes quick) should be a national holiday.
Or if maga tries to trusk's death or birthday a national holiday, rename it immediately as Medgar Evan's Day, John Lewis's Day, or. MLK Jr Day. Not sure if turd has wiped away MLK Day.
A fuckingmen!
World history
Now that I know about the fabric swatches, it makes sense that Trump would choose Vance, with his intimate knowledge of upholstery fabric, as VP.
argh, now I'm jealous that I didn't think of the Couchfuck McGee connection first
😂🤣😂
Let me tell you, the women of America are grateful because Donny Tiny Dick sometimes put his hand on fabric instead of us.
Since Nov. 5th, I've felt like Gene Wilder in "The Producers," stroking the side of his face with the remaining swatch from his childhood blankie and moaning, "No way out. No way out."
Now, there’s a funny movie. The 1968 original, not the remake. Although the remake wasn’t bad, the original was sheer hilarity. The NY Civil Liberties Union got hold of a print and ran it as a fundraiser. I think the tix were $5 or something.
Everyone had seen it multiple times by then, so we all knew all the lines. It was like the Rocky Horror Picture Show for Libs. Everyone would stand up and yell lines at the screen. I think I had seen it may 10 times by that point.
Oh Gene Wilder, he was wonderful.
😂😂
Bialystok & Bloom
Bialystok & Bloom
😂
Anybody remember “The Swatch” watch? Wasn’t that a thing for a while. I wonder if Donny Obsessed Boy ever had one on his little hands and fingered it?
A little mini jerk-off tool for Couch-Fuck McGee. How handy.
Eeew. But - you win! The laugh of the day! Thank you.
😆😆😆😆
Good one!
Efs 😂😂😂
The Kennedy Center is financed privately... The lawsuit could get REALLY interesting. And there'd better be one.
I did not know that…and thank you for sharing that fact. Let the lawsuits reign. It made me sick when I heard about this…its such a treasured space.
Currently there are 34 lawsuits filed. He's averaging 3 per day. The most litigated assclown in the US is the president. There was approximately 1000 lawsuits during his first reign. He's on track for at least three times that amount.
Flooding the zone, making it hard to keep up with the corruption & skullduggery !
He’s weaponising against his enemies ensuring that they are busy with legal stuff.
Great irony in his being the defendant when he has BIGLY exploited the legal system to his advantage🥳
Lingo 34 is a recurring number with him, 34 felony counts guilty as sin.
Thanks to the microplastics I had to use a calculator but if Mango Mussolini keeps up 3 lawsuits filed against him per day that’s 4,386 during the time he’s in office. Unless the cheeseburger avenger strikes home early.
I learned that info from Legal AF. Michael Popok is a very astute attorney.
It's probably being discussed as we speak. The Kennedy family would never want this brain dead fuckface to be chairman let alone have anything to do with the cultural center and memorial to JFK. It's possible that all of those years of Dump using plastic straws for packing his nose caused those creatures living his dome to fry a few circuits and in Dump's case, probably more.
A second horror for the Kennedy family after RFK Jr.'s entrenchment as a fixture in national media coverage and his positioning as our next Secretary of the HHSA. Wonder how much plastic is in HIS worm shit cranium.
Micro plastics infused his brain.
And don’t laugh- researchers have found that micro plastics are found in all our organs but especially the brain. And the amount present had doubled in the last 8 years.
Microplastics also accumulate in male genitals 😱 and that is having a negative effect on fertility.
Maybe we'll start seeing women giving birth to plastic baby dolls.
Probably, but women in general are desperately trying not to get pregnant under the regime.
Paula...You WIN....
Would explain where those kids Musk has hired came from
No, apparently plastic causes autism, so I was apparently wrong about high fructose corn syrup. Oil companies, our favorite businesses.
I saw a picture the other day of a teaspoon filled with plastic from a human brain. This is so serious, but oil companies don't want it banned because they make money from it. They kill the climate and they kill us. How do they expect money and live, in the end? I told my husband to stop buying/using plastic, although I don't do it myself very often.

No one wanted them, but I sure did. This was maybe 10 years ago.
Whoda thunk that a metal straw would be a good idea. I love mine. Don't know why anyone would use anything else.
I use my Starbucks drink bottle straws. They're washable. At Starbucks they have a bundle of hard plastic straws. Looks like a red mini umbrella.
Yep, I got my metal straws about 8–10 yrs ago; both straight & curved. I carry one in my purse for when I’m out
The first performance will be the J6 Prison Choir singing Trump’s favorite anthem ‘Justice for All’. 😫
I spent most of my life living and working in and around DC and have been to the Kennedy Center too many times to count, so this makes me sick! Trump probably wants to change the name to the Trump Center for Performing Arts. 🤬
I sincerely hope that after this nightmare is over, everything he names trump will be immediately changed back, cuz you know he’s going to name everything from buildings to highways to bridges after himself. (Golden showers gate bridge???) If he actually has a headstone, the family will have to post Eric there to guard it and hose it down every 15 minutes.
“Golden Showers Gate Bridge” 😂🤣
😂😂😂
Trump Center for Performing Farts, Susan you left out the “F”!
🤣
The better way to proceed would be like his own: just ignore what he posted and go on as if he never said anything.
We used paper straws all the way through high school because the plastic ones didn't exist. If the Felon-in-Chief had ever gone to a public school and had a school lunch, he'd have known that because he is older than I am. What a freaking moron!
🍊💩 doesn't need a straw, he has a nozzle mouth.
I have seen pictures of what plastic straws do to wildlife. A tortoise with a straw up one nostril. A racoon with a straw stuck on a claw. That's probably another reason why Biden wanted to ban plastic straws. It's fine with me if the Buffoon-in-Chief wants to suck through plastic straws if he just keeps them locked up with the fabric swatches. His own little sicko collection of filth.

They probably had silver straws at his ultra-exclusive reform school.
Donnie Jr. probably prefers paper straws to get that coke up his nose.
required tool of DAIRY QUEENers everywhere! HAIL PAPER STRAWS! DILLY BARS!
A judge just told Musk to take his dirty hands off USAID.
https://kathleenweber.substack.com/p/unlikely-hero-trump-appointee
let's hope Donny and the Space Nazi actually listen to what judges tell them
Musk has demanded that Judge Engelmayer, who ordered him to stop the seizure of the Treasury, be impeached. The shit is starting and I suspect Musk will refuse to obey the order. Judge Engelmayer could hold Musk in contempt. I have no idea what will happen then - the US Marshals are under the control of the executive branch and obviously won't be ordered to arrest Musk.
Court orders are meaningless without an enforcement mechanism. It’s truly horrifying.
Suspect he will disobey? I would bet my bottom dollar that he's already exfiltrated the data to train his Dollar General AI chatbot, Grok.
The man is pretty much untouchable, and if anyone tries to lay a glove on him, Trump will order the FBI to come down like a ton 'o bricks on them
We're finished. The coup is almost complete.
Don’t give up the fight, it’s not over!
Never surrender because that’s what they want you to do!
Hang in there Linda!
We all need to speak up even when we feel such disappointment. Because we need encouragement.
Not giving up, but being real like Linda. The Dems don’t have a spine save for a handful. The ReTHUGliCONs are all bought in to the power grab. Cronies are being placed at every agency.
So true. It feels like he can’t be stopped & therefore he won’t be stopped. This shit creek we’re in without oars is scary as hell.
Wait, I thought Donnie fired the FBI?
What's his security like?
IANAL, but:

Aye, there's the rub.

OMG. "Microplastics in My Brain” Someone needs to do this…. in costumes that wouldnt interfere with the instruments. A plastic straw on bass, a bottle of Tide on drums. 😂😂😂
Dennis Leary already did in his pre-emptive song about trump ... I'M AN ASSHOLE!
YES! I had forgotten this: duck://player/UrgpZ0fUixs HA! Perfect!

Senor PePe! I havent thought about that in ages! 😂
The Kennedy Center thing…when I heard about that yesterday, it was dagger in my heart. This demented old fuck is going to ruin the arts now. 😭😭
This is never going to end. I despise him.
The Evangelicals and Christian Nationalists hate the arts. I broke off a friendship with an old high school "friend" who found religion because of her outrage that during COVID the museum of art in NYC got COVID relief money. I told her they are also a business and have employees/overhead to pay. Fuckity bye old friend.
Yeah, but they don’t mind getting federal money for their crappy “schools”, and of course, paying no taxes.
Yeah, the statue of David, so obscene 🙄 Was it because he's naked or uncut ?
Probably both.
I posted about this a couple days ago - after retrieving my exploded brain. The idiot with THE WORST TASTE IN THE WORLD is going to decide what we call "Art"???!!!!
No.
Just....no.
It’s horrendous. I cant despise him any more than I do.

I think it was called, what a

No, but I read the book. I'm a big Dickens fan, and I think he died before finishing Edward Drood. I will look for the film! Thanks!
Edwin!! Stupid autocorrect.
No, was it pushed to OFF Broadway?
I don't know, probably. I'm not a fan of musicals.
Reminds me of Topo Gigio.
Only nothing’s ‘salright.
Didn't that show also have the sleepy hound dog, Beauregard? He'd only wake up when the man lifted an ear and yelled "HOT DOGS! HAMBURGERS! SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS!" I remember that show from my early childhood.
Shades of Johnny Cochran.
That's a common practice among tyrants through history.

Oy. Imagine this being an actual timeline we have to endure, instead of a fever dream.
Donny can shove his drinking straws up his backside. Here's a bigger problem: on Friday the NIH announced that they are cutting indirect funding rates to 15%, effective Monday. For those not familiar, the current indirect funding rates are approx. 27%, so this is cutting them almost in half. "Indirect funding" means money allocated by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to research universities for things that don't directly pay for research (hence the "indirect") but that are key to support the university and its researchers.

As Jeff would put it, half of our indirect research support is now going fuckity-bye because Donny and his tech bro consiglieri hate scientists and researchers, and consider us all a bunch of arrogant woke elitist pinko commies.
If this goes through, it will absolutely devastate research in this country. I can only hope that enough Republican Congresspeople (many of whom have constituents who receive lots of NIH money) will make enough noise about this that this won't go through. I'm a researcher and so is my husband, so this is super personal to me.
I saw a story in The Guardian that the amount cut will be 4 billion. I have a kid who’s a researcher at a major university, so I understand your concerns.
Kennedy Center Honors next year:

The Hoff is a Trumper?! He is strangely popular here in Germany, but not just because of Knight Rider but as a singer. I remember video of him on top of the Berlin Wall when the border came down.
Really? That creep?
Was he the one who left hateful voicemail for his daughter?
Yes. There are YouTube videos of his drunken abuse of his daughter.
😡
Hasselhoff?
Yes.
Don’t forget Lee “God Bless the USA” Greenwood.
Gold plastic straws, the next grift. $99 for a pack of six with Trump Manly Sucks printed on each one.
You got it!!!
The Orange Blob uses an old sales technique. throw enough shit against the wall and some will stick.
Invade Greenland and Panama. Tariffs for our 51st State, Canada & Mexico,. Build a cabinet of the most inept people he could dig up. (RFKjr actually looks like a zombie). Destroy some government Departments. Invade the Department of Treasury to get our private information. Do away with the 14th amendments. Remove every immigrant he can find. (Great theory; remove them all, and your sure to get the drug dealers, etc.).
Don't forget the cherry on top of his horse shit sundae. Take over Gaza. Remove 2 million Palestinians. (How about we send them to Greenland?) Then The Blob will partner with Elon "the sleeze," Jeff "Every day is Prime day" Besos, Mark "the Gutless" Zuckerberg and other zillionaire buddies to create the DEI Free Riviera. Only white men allowed!
WHY USAID?
Lets face it. Most Americans couldn't give a rat's ass if USAID closed down, as long as the price of their twinkies doesn't go up.
Here is what will happen after USAID; MILLIONS of people will die; mostly children. How many lives is your dozen eggs worth?
China and Russia will get a leg up on winning the hearts and minds of the people effected. Thousands will join radical organizations like ISID, Hamas, etc.
USAID provides grants to many organizations most of you don't know about. For instance, In the midst of the vicious Ukrainian winter, since Russia has destroyed so much of Ukraine's infrastructure,
People are freezing to death. USAID give a grant to an organization called, "HOPE FOR UKRAINE". The money provided buys firewood that provides some relief from the severe winter. A simple thing that saves lives!
Thank you. The best comment today so far.
