Maybe ya'll have seen this before but I found out about it for the first time today and it's kind of blowing my mind. This episode of the 1950s show Trackdown encapsulates our current situation perfectly. A conman named Trump promises imminent death and doom for a town unless he is given lots of money.

Video has a timestamp to the most relevant part but the scene right before that is also worth watching. Great lines from this episode include something we'd all like to hear: "You're under arrest, Trump."


Josh Marshall has been speculating that this is not a coincidence. By this time, Fred Trump had a reasonably high profile as a racist con man developer in his own right (Fred had appeared before congress four years before this episode to testify about how he'd ripped off a veteran's housing program, and even Woody Guthrie wrote a song bashing him as a racist), so it's not unreasonable to guess that this was an intentional reference, especially given a) how rare the surname "Trump" is, and b) how much the actor looks like Fred Trump. There's no direct proof, but I find it convincing.

(it's because he actually likes and respects her IRL, which is because she is dynamic, intelligent, cunning, and fuckin perfect in every way.)

GOP Sens. Portman and Moran introduce bill that has $25 billion in border security in exchange for temporary protections for Dreamers (Democrats, obviously, do not support this)

Oh no, now a bunch of Twitterers who don't understand that Rorschach is a right-wing psycho with an untenable ethical code will be all up in her mentions, inspired to make new Rorschach/AOC/Democrats memes.

You know ever since that video started making the rounds I wondered if that's what the explanation was. A lot of folks don't know how notorious Fred was before his even worse son took his place.

I think a temporary wall in exchange for temporary protection is a good compromise. We can put up a beaded curtain like Nancy suggested.

Nope. Courts have stopped the ending of DACA. Trump turned down 25 bil for protecting dreamers. He's not getting shit until after the govt opens and then it would have to be permanent protection and pathway to citizenship

It was a joke man lol, he's not getting shit.

I think this actually sank in for him days ago but he really painted himself badly into a corner and with that ego there's just no way out.
