Easy Rider Premieres

On July 14th, 1969, Easy Rider hit the theaters.

I was too young to see it then, my parents would no got to it on their Friday movie night, but I did later on.

This was the movie that introduced me to Jack Nicholson.

Growing up in the 70's, this movie was our symbol, even if, as young teens, we didn't understand it all.

We did relate to the hatred of the police, the Vietnam war and the violence against a changing society.

Open thread.

E. Jean Carroll Got Her Millions For Trump’s Sexual Assault

Donald Trump finally paid one of his bills!

Trump did his best to avoid coughing up the $5.6 million after being found to have sexually assaulted and defamed E. Jean Carroll. But President P***y Grabber exhausted all his appeals.

As I've previously reported, a judge ordered the money released from escrow last week after even the Trump bootlickers on the U.S. Supreme Court denied his appeal. The funds were also released to Carroll last week, according to The New York Times.

The guy who has boasted about grabbing women by the p***y is also known for stiffing his workers and creditors. In this case, Trump’s appeals and stalling cost him significant money. The Hill notes that the original award was $5 million but grew by about 11 percent because of court-appointed interest.

Trump UN Ambassador Sets The Stage For Cuba Invasion

Trump UN Ambassador Mike Waltz was back at it this Sunday, trying to justify military action against Cuba, and calling them a "national security threat."

As we've already discussed here, they've been pushing this narrative for months: White House Busy Manufacturing Consent For War On Cuba:
