If/when Trump is impeached I hope people are still ready to resist this government. I worry that once the cartoonish villainy of Trump is gone, the more traditional looking Pence will quietly enact horrific policy without announcing it crudely on twitter, and folks will let it pass with no protest.

William Wheeler wrote the script, which is based on the true story of Juan Pujol Garcia, an eccentric double-agent who with no military or covert training, somehow persuaded both the Germans and the British to hire him as a spy. As it turned out, his real allegiance was to England, and working closely with MI5, he created a fictional network of 27 spies said to be spread out over England, Scotland, and Ireland, supplying him with critical information about British troop movements and military planning. He actually made the whole thing up, but it was a turning point in the war, enabling the English to deceive the Germans about the invasion of Normandy.

Storyscape Entertainment’s Bob Cooper and Richard Saperstein, Chuck Weinstock, Jason Spire and Isaac are producing.

“This is a tricky part. There are very few actors who can do both pathos and comic grandiosity,” said Weinstock. “Oscar is one of them, and we feel very lucky to have him.”

@bomberqueen17 sorry if you already know about this but this sounds delightful

I had seen the post but have been getting excited every time I see it, and as I was scrolling just now I was like, damn, I am so excited about this. I really am.
I have, like. A Special Interest in WWII and the Resistance and also Oscar Isaac so it’s like someone rummaged through my id to come up with this. God damn, I don’t know what to do with myself.

@wildehacked WE ARE GETTING THE JUAN PUJOL GARCÍA MOVIE!!!!

OH MY GOD WHAT

I just literally gasped out loud. YES, GOOD.

Texas lawmakers’ phone lines jammed with complaints about Trump | Texas Politics | Dallas News

s-leary:

Rep. Bill Flores, R-Bryan, said he believed at least half of the calls his office has received are not from constituents but rather from “activists from other parts of the country.” The onslaught of calls has not dented his confidence in the House GOP agenda.

“I know where my district is, and those calls are not representative of the district,” Flores said, noting that many calls to his office had come as a result of the Indivisible project.

Heeeeeeey Texas! Our reps think we’re faking! Give ‘em hell, y’all.

Perhaps it seems silly to say, “Imagine what Republicans would be saying if this was Hillary Clinton,” but the comparison highlights how malleable their principles are. They were (or at least pretended to be) horrified at the thought that as Secretary of State, Clinton might have a meeting with a foreign dignitary whose government made a donation to the Clinton Foundation to support the distribution of AIDS medications in Africa. But foreign interests basically depositing money into Donald Trump’s bank account? What’s the big deal?
 

Just before the election, Jason Chaffetz, who heads the House government oversight committee, was forthright about the fact that if Clinton won he’d be issuing subpoenas every time she brushed her teeth. But now he has taken a very different attitude toward his committee’s watchdog role. “It’s sort of ridiculous to go after [Trump] when his financial disclosure is already online,” Chaffetz now says.
 

We’re going to see this again and again: not just a disinterest in Trump’s copious conflicts of interest, but a willingness to parrot whatever ludicrous defense Trump makes of them. If some dictator somewhere wants to slap Trump’s name on a hotel and pay the Trump Organization $20 million in exchange, isn’t that just proof of what a great businessman Trump is? And why would anyone think that might affect U.S. foreign policy, when Trump’s kids are running the business? It’s not like they’re advising him on government policy and personnel. Oh, wait, that’s exactly what they’re doing.

Republicans are already making it clear: Trump can do whatever he wants

The idiots who fell for Trump’s “Drain the swamp” bullshit won’t care about this at all, and the fuckbag Republicans in Congress will do nothing to provide a check on his abuses of power.

Further to this post, it now occurs to me that a lot of Hogwarts’ problems ultimately stem from the fact that Dumbledore recruits teachers the way a supervillain recruits minions.

Which is, what, through personal charisma and by calling in favors?

It occurs to me that Dumbledore could have looked further afield for the DADA position. It also occurs to me that the curse could be negated by specifying that the employment contract be for one year only. 

Basically, Dumbledore looks for two traits in a prospective teacher:

  • Emotional vulnerabilities that make it easier for him to manipulate them; and
  • Talents that make them useful as weapons against his enemies

… in exactly that order. Actually being good at teaching is a distant third.

(McGonnagall’s an interesting case, as she’s probably the only one with enough self-awareness to realise that she’s being manipulated – but then, Dumbledore knows that she knows what he’s up to, and all of their interactions basically devolve into a high-tension game of “I know that you know that I know that etc.” Which is a totally conventional way for a supervillain to relate to his second-in-command, really.)
