Since Trump’s election:
-Musk got $680 billion richer
-Musk became the 1st trillionaire
-SpaceX got $10 billion in federal contracts
-Tesla & SpaceX paid $0 in federal income taxes
Now, Musk’s spending $442 million to keep Republicans in control of Congress.
Gee, I wonder why?
Now Watching:
•Perfect Blue (1997) [Blu-ray]
This is a great film that I’ve seen several times. I watched Black Swan last night which shares quite a few thematic similarities with this one. Perfect Blue was likely an inspiration for Aronofsky’s film, despite his public denial.

To those saying that if Democrats take control of Congress they should ‘do the right thing’ and be better than Republicans and not embark on ‘revenge’ by trying to impeach Donald Trump…I say, it’s not revenge. It’s accountability. He’s corrupt. He’s a criminal. He’s violated the law. He should face every single measure of accountability possible. Period.

This is a sample of what is coming after the NOVEMBER Midterms.
Impeachment is mandatory for our American way of Life. VOTE!!

Fantastic news in our defense against Donald Trump's attacks on our Constitution and elections.
Make no mistake: Trump won't stop trying to illegally seize power or deface our democracy.
California will keep fighting back.
A federal appeals court has rejected the Trump administration's unprecedented attempt to force California to set aside votes from 20,000 people it claims are noncitizens. cnn.it/3W9di2Z

Found it @RealDonaldTrump – where’s my $1 million?
You can wire it straight to the 10,000 election workers who are volunteering their time to protect against your efforts to steal the midterms.
NEW: Trump is offering $1 million to anyone who reports cases of "voter fraud" in the midterms or past elections that lead to a conviction.
It's his latest attempt to present rare cases of illegal voting as a widespread problem that threatens U.S. elections. demdock.com/4zSmNC2

Like in Nevada?
Where you “found” 15,903….
Then it was 185….
Then it was ZERO.
You mean like that?

Now Watching:
•Black Swan (2010) [Blu-ray]
I watched this film just once back when it first came out, but it’s been long enough that I’ve forgotten most of it. I remember it being good though.
Now Watching:
•Getting Any? (Japanese title: みんな〜やってるか！) (1994) [Blu-ray]
First-time watch! I’m making my way through Takeshi Kitano’s directorial filmography. This is his fifth feature film.
