For @bleupasteque

The Democrats are now having to import their trolls from...France.

God almighty. Look at this mess.
I went to Paris three times.

My family all studied French before were went the first time so that we could ask directions and order meals.

We booked the trip through a vicious Norwegian travel agency.
The bitch put us in a hotel in the red-light district of Montmartre.

We didn't know any better.

A mother and her five children, ages 15 to 8.

The first two nights, we were hassled by transvestite prostitutes. Then it stopped.
We ate dinner every night at the restaurant next to the hotel

After a few days, the manager told us that the hotel night clerk had gone up and down the street and told everyone to leave us alone because we were nice people.
I never had any trouble with French people.

Except on social media.

Isn't it bizarre that people all over the world are obsessed with @realDonaldTrump?

How does his presidency impact them personally?

The French of all people are in no position to accuse us of anything.
In the Algerian War of Independence (1954-1962), the French did their best imitation of the Nazis.

They used used collective punishment--concentration camps, leveling villages, taking and killing hostages, arbitrary mass executions, torturing people to death.
In Paris, the cops herded Algerian protestors into the Seine River and drowned over 200.

October 17, 1961.

The graffiti says, "Here we drown the Algerians."
This was done ten months before I was born.

Not centuries ago.

How many people has Trump drowned?

I don't blame today's French people for what the French did in 1954 to 1962.

But still: There's no sense of self-awareness.
Trump-hate IS a full-blown mental illness almost as severe as a psychosis.

I heard yesterday that a record number of Americans are going to psychiatrists to be medicated because they think that Trump made COVID-19 so bad that it's the end of the world.
At this point in my life, nothing scares me. Not death, not illness, not poverty--nothing.

It's amazing. I've achieved total freedom.

We talked earlier about the actor @BryanCranston.

He could learn a lot from Kōji Yakusho.
Yakusho played Admiral Yamamoto in the movie Isoroku (2011).

This scene is extremely accurate in all ways except that Yamamoto died from a head wound that disfigured his face.

They found his body in this final position.
It takes great skill to convey strong emotion without moving your face at all.

American actors can't do it. I watched a bit of Joker and was left unmoved.

But I could go down in a plane the way Yamamoto did in that movie. Having no choice at all liberates you.
( @Twitter broke the thread! Still scared to death of me. I control Twitter. They're my punks.)
As I said before Twitter broke the thread, the plane ISN'T going down.

@realDonaldTrump is in the pilot's seat.

We're doing fine. Very soon, we'll be doing finer.

And then we'll be doing finest.

Watch it happen.
