Documentary: The Hunting of the President

The original documentary from 2004, "The Hunting of the President", was really revealing. An updated version was released in 2016, "The Hunting of the President Redux".

Here is the IMDB Link for the original:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0391225/

This is available for free on Amazon Prime, for those who are able/inclined to watch it on that platform:

I watched the original many times (still have the DVD), but not Redux, which is on my watchlist for this weekend.

I think this is an important watch for anyone who wants to understand how we got to where we are today.

Police: Man Wanted for Accosting Giant Eagle Workers Over COVID-19 Mask Policy

This is a news story local to me, small town western PA. I'm not surprised at all.

This is how most (but not all) residents feel about Covid-19. It hasn't had much of an impact yet on these small communities, yet (other than what you see on the obits page).

Documentary Grey Gardens (and Trump)

Has anyone watched the documentary Grey Gardens? It is a documentary from 1975. Here is the wikipeida description:

Grey Gardens is a 1975 American documentary film by Albert and David Maysles. The film depicts the everyday lives of two reclusive, formerly upper class women, a mother and daughter both named Edith Beale, who lived in poverty at Grey Gardens, a derelict mansion at 3 West End Road in the wealthy Georgica Pond neighborhood of East Hampton, New York.

I see so many parallels to our current President. "Big Edie" and "Little Edie", Mother and Daughter, were "Socialtes". Big Edie's husband worked for her father, and purchased the estate, which she kept after the divorce. She continued to pursue her singing career afterwards (that days version of a reality performer). She kept up the lifestyle until in 1971 they found her house "full of litter, rife with the odor of cats and in violation of various local ordinances".

I think that our socialite reality performer President has taken over our estate, and it is now "full of litter, rife with the odor of cats and in violation of various local ordinances".

Governor Larry Hogan

I'm a lifelong democrat. I have always been willing to support republicans when it is justified, although that hasn't happened often. I've also been willing to criticize democrats as well (unfortunately too often, but not as often as I criticize those with an R after their name). But that said, I am a partisan. I feel like the best future for our country is a blue future. But now I have a quandary: Governor Larry Hogan.

He has done well in the recent Covid19 press conferences. I agree with how he has handled shutting down businesses and schools. I like him, despite the 'R'. He has done other good things as well, and my impression of him his positive.

Maybe he is the real deal, maybe he is another Rudy 'Mayor of 911' Giuliani, I don't know, so asking our community for thoughts on Hogan?
