A Fortunate Man (Netflix)

Danish, with subtitles. Excellent film. Period piece (late 19th/early20th), about a brilliant young man trying to bring a revolutionary engineering project to his country. He's from humble country means, very stern religious family, that he rejects; instead he embraces a wealthy Jewish family in Copenhagen. His choices have devastating consequences for him and those around him.

Weighs in at nearly 3 hours, every moment worthwhile.

I think 47 is Joe's lucky number

It's particularly funny how Trump keeps mentioning it.

Biden was the 47th VP.

After Trump resigns so that Pence can pardon him, Biden will be the 47th President.

"So, the ends justify the means?"

That needs to be asked every time Trump points to the White House or his presidency as an answer for how he conducts himself (lying, bullying, etc).

"No, they spied on RUSSIANS, and your campaign happened to be there."

That must be said EVERY.SINGLE.TIME Trump makes that claim.

"Clearly an attempt to distract from what he knew was coming."

That's the only answer anyone needs to offer about Rudy's laptop nonsense.

Guy Objects To 'Virtual' Debate During 'Virtual' Interview

https://www.vox.com/21505184/virtual-presidential-debate-october-15-miami

Following President Donald Trump’s recent Covid-19 diagnosis, the next presidential debate is scheduled to be conducted remotely. Whether it will be held is in doubt, however, with Trump saying on Fox Business Thursday, “I’m not going to waste my time on a virtual debate.”

When Fred Trump refused to retire due to Alzheimer's, guess what his family did?

There is a long history in the Trump family of denying serious illness. According to a Trump family friend, Trump’s father, Fred Trump Sr., insisted on working even after his Alzheimer’s disease advanced in the 1990s. “To retire is to expire!” Fred Sr. would say. The friend said that as Fred Sr.’s disease worsened––he once came down the stairs wearing three neckties––the family created a system so that Fred could think he was still running the Trump Organization. Every day Fred Sr. would go to the office in Brooklyn and they would give him blank papers to sort through and sign. The phone on Fred’s desk was set up so that it could only dial out to his secretary. “Fred pretended to work,” the family friend said.https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/10/don-jr-thinks-trump-is-acting-crazy-presidents-covid-joyride-has-family-divided
