And you can bet that, every time news footage shows the insurrection, they’re all watching TV closely, hoping to see themselves popping up in the coverage of the marauding crowds, and getting a rise out of it and pointing it out to all their friends. “Didja see me in there? THAT shot RIGHT THERE! I was THERE! See that guy next to the big fellow in the fur? No, not THAT one. The OTHER guy next to him - that’s ME!!! I was THERE! That was ME!! Right THERE! Dig it!”

And hopefully, one of those “friends” makes a quick little call to the FBI...

Ronald Reagan was also an actor, both movies and TV.

I guess the Republican base sees people who were part of the entertainment industry as being really good Presidential candidates. That tells you more about their base than I want to know.
Also, just as a side note, the movie Predator "spawned" two governors, Arnold Schwartznegger, and Jessie Ventura. I believe that is the only movie to have done this.

I don't think it was the chaos and cruelty per se that the media were in love with. It was the drama they adored.

The disturbing part is that they didn't seem to care that chaos and cruelty were what caused the drama.

To paraphrase Ron in the first Harry Potter movie, they need to sort out their priorities.

When they are faced with two stories, with one about a cure for cancer, and the other is about some MAGAts and their insane actions, they go with the one that gets the most hits/brings in the most income... which, unfortunately, is the story about the MAGAts. No, they don't care about what they say when their main goal is to create income. It is NOT to dissimilate the news in a fair and impartial way. Being fair and impartial does not make money these days.

During Thursday’s hearing, Heinl informed the court she would waive her right to an identity hearing and was assigned a preliminary hearing on March 24.

Channel 11?s Rick Earle learned Heinl’s husband is a detective with the Shaler Police Department.

Court records indicate he filed for divorce in February, one month following the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

Channel 11 has learned Heinl’s husband is a member of the FBI’s violent crime task force unit in Pittsburgh.

The department’s chief tells Channel 11 Heinl was on-duty at the time of the insurrection and does not support what took place at the U.S. Capitol.

That is NOT a good look for her husband, about whom I know so little I can't even say if he is like-minded, or if his wife went off the rails all by herself. Well, without him, at least. Clearly, she has fellow travellers.

If he is blameless in this - which, upon reflection seems unlikely - he would have grounds for divorce in a state where it's not as easy as it is in others. That would be my move, at least.
