January 2016: Sioux Center, Iowa
President elect Trump said :"I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters."
Sat 12 Nov NY protest rally (that photo from March, 2016)
Trump Tower!
anyone remember that 1974 movie The Towering Inferno- hey it's a Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, William Holden. Anyone remember that President Bush used tax-payers money paying Hollywood screenwriters et al good money to come up with possible post 9/11 attack scenarios! Who could make this shit up...?
What if people started shouting “shoot Trump” in the middle of 5th Avenue?. Is that …? legally he is not yet President. What if one lone person started shouting that? Could that not be argued to be satirical response? People in NY shout in the streets on per second basis. If such were ever singled out, that be be legally defined as harrassment and impingement if not blatant denial of the 1st Amendment. You will find out what the law is like once you are sworn into office Mr. Trump. And, perhaps, you will be amazed at its efficacy. The allegations of those women against him (that I hope for their sake are true…God will not help you if they aren’t) will definitely impeach him.

Having said that, Kirby Dick came a
‘cropper’ last year with his doc The Hunting Ground about sexual
abuse in colleges. The girls who started their campaign are unbelievably
naively brave and tenacious to get their cause all the way to the White House
in Washington. Unfortunately for respected director Kirby Dick, the trial of
his ‘lead subjects’ had just got underway before the Sundance Fest 2015
premiere. And the director’s use of so-called facts was fairly embarrassing in
an otherwise urgent and powerful doc. Therein lies the problem for colleges
taking action that when a case goes to trial facts are necessary. And the
galling problem for the campaign recognizing college rape is that the
facts, if there, are quashed and massaged or dragooned into a grey realm. Harvard
Law School quite justifiably issued a press release. The campaign for
justice by Andrea Pino and
Annie Clark…thankfully thunders on!
Not a world particularly I want to live in anymore….I’d rather drown with the mermaid (s) and die happy…
BTW- must be fun for the kids going to Radio City Music Hall being confronted by heavily armed police bearing machine guns. True! Not that I distrust the officers or their judgement with those weapons (at least in New York City). (I wish I could say the same for London). Examine the 'nitty gritty' facts and you'll understand why I again raise this issue.
What are the police outside Radio City Music Hall going to do, though, in the event... that? It is nigh impossible on the ground to get a clear-shot in those crowded streets. But 'Collatoral Damage' has always been one of America's biggest bad-boy movie stars.

And Lou Lumenick of the NY Post called for banning Gone with the Wind last year. Perhaps looking down upon your own doorstep this year, sir?
Ask Yourself Why?
Nocturnal Animals (I thought long and hard before placing this here. (Saw the movie Friday night in NYC). You are very brave Mr. Tom Ford. I did not enjoy sitting through your movie at all. Yet totally applaud you thrice for creating it. There is nothing surreal in that film. Tomorrow is another day...
