Schwarzenegger even had Simon Wiesenthal investigate Schwarzenegger’s father’s involvement with the Nazis. Twice. So whatever Arnold’s other faults or beliefs, he was prepared to turn his own father over to the authorities over for being a Nazi.

Oregon is going to have the most visitors as it’s the first state to see it, and a few places in the totality are doing 3 day eclipse festivals, so over 1 million are expected to descend on the state.

Over 1 million people are expected to descend on Oregon. In a state with only 4 million people. Every single hotel, campsite, open lawn and yurt in the total eclipse area has been rented out for months, some of them for years. And then there’s currently a major wildfire in the path that has resulted in closed…

Luján’s comments came from this interview with The Hill. But I do definitely agree with you on the rest of your post. It’s really concerning that he, as well as Pelosi and Schumer, have said that reproductive rights shouldn’t be a litmus test for candidates. It seems that they are choosing to listen to Sanders on…

Putin often tells some of his cronies to run so the election appear legit. Every once in a while a real opposition candidate emerges, but funny thing—you can’t run if you have a criminal record, and somehow, many of the real opponents wind up getting arrested and found guilty soon after they announce their run against…

Please don’t send your postcards to Tom Perez. That’s not who said it, and not even the right committee. It was Ben Ray Luján, who is the DCCC chair, who said there is no litmus test for candidates they’ll support. The DNC doesn’t give any marching orders to the DCCC and gives them no money. The DCCC’s only job is to…

I think you missed this part of the article “The woman is now at a local medical facility, receiving treatment for health conditions that have been left untreated for years.” It’s possible that whatever those health conditions were may have prevented her from escaping with the children. Another article said that the…

Beautifully said. Discrimination towards any group of Americans and a president trying to take their rights away is a huge issue that people need to take notice of. Are there other awful things happening simultaneously? Absolutely. There always are, especially with this clown car administration. But this is a pretty…

She did some songs with Ben Folds at one of his concerts last year, and they performed this lovely melancholy version of It Ain’t Me Babe at the Billboard Music awards. It was the first time I’ve realized what a great voice she has.

Hawaii is 37% Asian-American. And only 22% white. So it’s a little more odd to have two white leads than it is to have two Korean-American leads.

It’s now up to 29 states that are refusing to comply with the commission. And a number of them are deeply red states that went for Trump by huge margins. With that many Republican strongholds refusing, it becomes a whole lot harder for Trump or his supporters to try to wave away as a liberal conspiracy or hiding…

Fuck Trump and his petty insulting nicknames. First, it doesn’t matter why, let men cry if they feel like it. Second, what about John Boehner, who was frequently moved to tears? But also third, Schumer cried over the Muslim ban, maybe because he was remembering that his great-grandmother and 7 of her 9 children were…

There should be, which is why many cities keep trying to fight this. Denver, a sanctuary city, just voted to overhaul their minimum sentencing in many minor offenses and petty crimes because they’re tired of ICE lurking around courthouses. ICE’s system apparently flags anyone charged with a crime that carries a…

War of the Worlds is the only one I know of where he has kids. About the nearest any of his other films have come is that his girlfriend has a son in Jerry Maguire and I vaguely recall him befriending a little girl in Last Samurai. In Valkyrie, his character should have had kids--in real life the man he was portraying…

This is the handshake that Macron said was on purpose, you can see him grab Trump’s knuckles and squeeze hard a few times before letting go (the handshake starts about :19 in so you don’t have to listen to Trump’s blather)

And while she was indeed appointed Deputy AG under Obama, she was hired to the DOJ (by Bob Barr, who later seved as a Republican congressman) under Bush Sr’s presidency, and became a US Attorney under Bush Jr’s. So her work was good enough for two Republican presidents. And while Spicer’s twisting himself into knots…

There are a few ways it could be stopped:

Except that is not Bernie Sanders in that picture of the march in Selma. Not only has he never claimed to have been at the march in Selma, his campaign said that wasn’t him in the picture. When he was involved in the civil rights movement, he spent his time organizing in Chicago, where he was going to college. He…

My favorite was when someone put up a tiny wall surrounding the star.

Since he wasn’t mentioned in the caption of the picture—the enslaved man in the painting with the Washington family is William Lee. He acted as Washington’s valet for two decades and was at Washington’s side throughout the Revolutionary War, including in battle. Lee was the only person that Washington freed in his…
