I was thinking of the main cast, really, but I honestly thought Gene Hackman was gone. Happy to be wrong about that.

Sadly, most of the players of the bit parts are gone too, including Danny Goldman, who played the medical student with a line. The little girl is still alive as if the shoe-shine boy and the other credited medical student. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised considering the movie is now 50 years old. Damn, I’m old. :(

I think that she was the last surviving actor from Young Frankenstein. Everyone else in that movie is gone now except the director. Mel Brooks is still kicking around at 98 years old.

I love his response at the end of the article.

Dougan told the Post he wasn’t behind DC Weekly and other sites and said he didn’t know Korovin or Khoroshenky. He said he worked as an IT consultant for an American company.

“I will tell you hypothetically, if they were my sites,” he said, “then I am merely fighting fire with fire because the West is fucking lying about everything that’s happening,” Dougan said. “They are lying about everything.”

Those aren’t my websites… but if they were, "I AM FIGHTING FIRE WITH FIRE BATTLING THE CAPITALIST MENACE IN THE WEST AND WILL SEE YOUR NATION FALL, HA HA HA HA HA HA HA… ahem… hypothetically.

What makes you think he has two jobs? He’s a former Florida sheriff who, according the the article, “moved to Russia amid an FBI investigation” and is now a Kremlin-backed propagandist.

Would be nice if tax payers would stop voting in pols who hire trigger-happy, racist cops.

Which is likely in this case since the envelope did not contain any narcotics.

The cruelty is the point. Of course they rewarded him.

Good. I hope the state supreme court doesn’t overturn this ruling.

What the every-loving fuck is wrong with people?

This fills me with such a rage that I cannot express myself. Cats failing to use a litter box is generally because the box is either not kept clean enough or that cat has a medical issue such as a urinary tract infection. The cat was asking for help in the only way it knew how and they did that to it.

Sure they left the prisoners behind, but the cops worked “around the clock” to make sure they moved their “evidence, paperwork and supplies” somewhere safe before the storm hit.

I guess they didn’t learn their lesson from when thousands of prisoners were abandoned in their cells during Katrina.

Yes, it’s far better to help Trump win. You know, the wanna be dictator who has already said he wants Israel to hurry up and get it over with. Yeah, that makes loads of sense.

Check that bank account for rubles.

Faith is less than nothing when weighed against observable, measurable fact. Religion should never be allowed to overrule science.

So Secretary of State Raffensperger’s lawyer sent a pretty scathing letter to the State Election Board saying, you really shouldn’t change these rules.

Ooh! Scathing!

As Billy Joel said, “I’d rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints. The sinners are much more fun.”

It’s shit like this that makes me not give a shit when cops get ambushed or murdered. The whole profession is a cesspool of sociopaths that the world would be better off without. I try no to subscribe to the whole ACAB attitude and believe that they aren’t really all bad, but it’s virtually impossible to hang onto that belief when dangerous officers like this are kept on the force.

Wouldn’t that mean that this transparent political hit job was a colossal waste of time on the part of the Republicans?

Not really. Their whole goal is to make sure they can say that Biden is impeached at least as many times as Trump even though they know that they’ll never get a conviction in the senate. The whole investigation is not in the interest of justice or good governing. It’s pure politics. When you point out that it’s all just for show, they’ll turn around and say that the Trump impeachments were the ones that were all for show. And their base, the only one’s they care about, will believe it.

Here’s the kicker. The reason they want to be able to say that is because they are trying to 100% equate Harris with Biden. Watch the first few seconds here (youtube) where Vance says, “It’s hard to believe just how bad the Kamala Harris administration has been…” There hasn’t been a Kamala Harris administration. It’s been the Biden administration, obviously, and Sofa King knows it. This is not a mistake on his part. This is the new play, everything Biden has done, they will try to lay at Harris’ feet including Biden’s impeachment.

That’s the Republican method of operation. Accuse your opponent of doing what you are doing. When you point out that it’s their guy doing it, they just claim you are the one lying. Their base is so deeply programmed they believe it.

I don’t think it’s a fair assumption that the faith groups are doing that. The facility itself really isn’t a prison. The article says:

“It will cost millions to renovate that building to get it up to the jail standards,” she said. “There’s no bars, there’s no doors. It’s like a dormitory. And the women have it beautifully decorated.”

An good argument could be made that the type prisoners sent to such a facility are very unlikely to re-offend in the first place. That chance is further reduced simply by the fact that it’s not a facility that is focused on punishment and is focused on rehabilitation with or without religious overtones. I don’t for a moment believe evangelizing them helps keep them out of prison.
