The final ep of Moonlighting aired OTD in 1989, and went full meta. Bruce Willis & Cybill Shepherd race to save their own characters, David & Maddy, from cancellation, because when the show ends they'll literally cease to exist. It even admits why Moonlighting ultimately failed

Rewatched the Departed on the flight. It’s hard to imagine a film being that good and packed with that many high level actors today.

Not a popular opinion, but my favourite Michael Mann film is The Insider (1999). Mann’s movies are all about hyper-specific atmospheres that hit differently depending on your mood. Most default to Heat, but the more you think about it, the harder the choice gets.

Why does the left think it’s fine to just kill someone they don’t agree with or like? I really don’t understand this logic.

@JoelleAdler @lady_valor_07 LOL 💯. I thought he was a pretty good president actually, but he also led one of the most scandal-filled administrations in our history. Perhaps this is a young person who needs a history lesson? Although, there aren’t enough tweets on this platform to rehash all his scandals.

Young Bill & Hillary Clinton in the 1970s. Still together 50 years later. No scandals. No cheating. No drama. Just true love.

@VoteRandyFine It’s Orwellian doublethink… 2+2=5. There are those who reject reality because they want to believe this. And they will believe it because they are told it is so…

@BarackObama It speaks to the evil of Barack Hussein Obama that after the shooter’s full manifesto has been released Hussein Obama has the audacity to say “we don’t yet have the details about the motives.” Most of the division in America today can be directly traced to him.

Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind last night's shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it’s incumbent upon all us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy. It’s also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice that U.S. Secret Service Agents show every day. I’m grateful to them – and thankful that the agent who was shot is going to be okay.

President Obama showing what real leadership looks like- even in the middle of chaos. Calm, clear, and unequivocally rejecting political violence from any side. No whataboutism, no excuses. Just class. Thank you, sir. This is the standard America desperately needs right now. Secret Service agents are absolute heroes every single day. Wishing the injured agent a full and speedy recovery. 🇺🇸

@BarackObama He thinks you're stupid. There's a manifesto. In the manifesto it lists the precise reasons for the attack. We know the motive. Barack Obama is a liar.

If you’re wondering why he would make a statement this ridiculous, from a psychological point of view, this is what it does: it creates doubt where clarity already exists. That is a classic political manipulation tactic. You don’t deny the evidence directly; you simply imply that the public should “wait for details,” which SLOWS moral judgment and protects the side whose ideology may be implicated. He is not speaking to people who already know the facts. He is speaking to people who need permission not to process the facts. His language gives them a psychological escape hatch: “We don’t know yet,” “Don’t jump to conclusions,” “Maybe there are other motives” That protects them from cognitive dissonance. The genius of this kind of framing is that it can manipulate the opposition too. It forces people to waste energy proving what is already visible, while his supporters accuse them of being partisan, MAGA, or inflammatory. That is how gaslighting affects opposition: it turns reality itself into the battlefield. This is how propaganda and political indoctrination work: deny clarity, create doubt, then accuse anyone who names the truth of being partisan.

@TheDavidPiv Scientists only need to look at his faith in God. Trump believes he has proof over and over again that he’s being protected by God for a higher purpose. He does not fear death because he knows it is ALL God’s will.

Scientists really need to study this man's ability to handle the type of pressure that grinds must other men down to a nub.

.@POTUS: "I lead a pretty normal life considering it's a dangerous life. I think I handle it as well as it can be handled. I think a lot of other people, you read stories where they become basket cases... I really take it as it is. I do it for the country."

You idiots who think Trump is staging assassination attempts. You think he would agree to a plan wherein someone STOPS HIM FROM TROLLING A CAPTIVE ROOM OF THOUSANDS OF JOURNALISTS FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF? This is his dream scenario.

@Hopesundaysam @WallStreetMav No. There is no denying the rhetoric spoken by people on the left and by members of the media. First of all, we had real journalism back then and news was factually reported. No one knew the political affiliations of media members.

How do other people who lived through the 80s and 90s stomach what's going on right now? I find this extremely sad to watch, knowing how awesome the USA was.

@WallStreetMav And ironically, Trump is a product of that 80s US patriotism and unity that made that time so great, but he is absolutely hated by the left for wanting to restore that. Make it make sense.

It is worth noting that the many Democratic leaders being protected last night by Secret Service agents (including the one who took a shot to his vest) are still refusing to pay them unless ICE and Border Protection are defunded...
