    Influence of movies

    Let us just hope Trump doesn't watch Dr Strangelove

    Did Trump Call to Reopen Alcatraz Come From Escape From Alcatraz PBS?

    The turdman of Alcatraz be a fiting end to a corrupt career

    Ever wonder where Donald Trump gets his policy ideas? Take, for example, the presidential proclamation he fired off Sunday night on Truth Social, ordering the Bureau of Prisons to reopen and expand Alcatraz to house “America’s most ruthless and violent Offenders.”
    Where, oh where, could that have come from?
    It’s not like anyone’s seriously floated reopening The Rock since it shut down in 1963 and became a fog-shrouded tourist attraction run by the National Park Service. At least not until Trump somehow, seemingly out of nowhere, came up with the notion on Sunday night.
    Russia went from being 2nd strongest army in the world to being the 2nd strongest in Ukraine

    It's in line with his 'let's pretend it's the early fifties' ethos.

    Next year he goes back to 1961, pop pickers.

    The Bay of Pigs.

    "you can get yaba anywhere you go"

    Stacey, is this your first trip to Asia or do you just pretend to be surprised?
    This documentary is not up to the usual BBC Documentary class.

    My most memorable clip of Stacey Dooley was when Ben Dover offered her £10k to star in one of his movies.
    I reckon she missed her golden opportunity there for a shower of praise

    The media can become a negative agent of socialization. In other words, a conveyor of propaganda.

    First, take a few minutes to reflect upon both the "Trump Russia Collusion Hoax" and (by design) the mass hysteria that it created. Next, do a Google Image search for "Hitler propaganda quotes". The obvious similarities could evoke troubling thoughts.*
