I was looking for a Love, Actually clip to illustrate body language for a class...


And came across this "Hillary Actually" video on YouTube from SNL... right after the election.

Stick with it to the end-- there's a payoff they probably thought was theoretical back then, but really stings now.

Trump erupts at campaign manager as reelection stress overflows

Source: CNN

As he huddled with advisers on Friday evening, President Donald Trump was still fuming over his sliding poll numbers and the onslaught of criticism he was facing for suggesting a day earlier that ingesting disinfectant might prove effective against coronavirus.

Within moments, the President was shouting -- not at the aides in the room, but into the phone -- at his campaign manager Brad Parscale, three people familiar with the matter told CNN. Shifting the blame away from himself, Trump berated Parscale for a recent spate of damaging poll numbers, even at one point threatening to sue Parscale. It's not clear how serious the President's threat of a lawsuit was.
The White House did not immediately respond to a CNN request for comment and the Trump campaign declined to comment.
Faced with an increasingly uphill battle for reelection and aides trying to steer him in new, sometimes conflicting directions, Trump has grown increasingly unnerved in the last week about his reelection prospects. Lashing out at Parscale was just the most recent manifestation of that anxiety.

I'm chortling because Parscale was probably all mixed up with "the Russia thing" and totally got away with it, so it's great to see the scorpion turn on him.

"Trump is insane: And it's time for leading Democrats to say that out loud."

Democrats should also get over their concerns about angering Trump supporters. Anyone who continues to applaud Trump's weird and reckless disregard for humanity at this point is beyond the limit of rational persuasion. Trump supporters live in a hallucinatory dreamscape under the authority of a maniac. Let them have their anti-social distancing rallies, and allow them to believe that Barack Obama invented COVID-19 shortly after he was born in Kenya.

Anyone watching the Global Citizen concert?

The Rolling Stones were amazing, in a couple ways.

Mick absolutely must have sold his soul to the devil at some point, because he looked and sounded pretty much like Mick 1973.

But Keef... He looked like he wasn't sure what this guitar thing was, who that Mick guy was, what this song was, who he is....

Ronnie Wood got into it, and Charlie Watts was playing an invisible drum kit (presumably movement operated?)

They sounded great, anyway, and it's always inspirational to see Keith Richards still alive and still shooting up, apparently!
