@ATRightMovies Jeff Daniels in Something Wild

[Matt Van Nest @BigFunBuff]

@ThatEricAlper Opening sequence is fantastic! The music sets a mood too.

[Matt Van Nest @BigFunBuff]

Uh huh

[Acyn @Acyn]

CNN put together a collection of clips of Trump complaining about Democratic presidents playing golf

[Matt Van Nest @BigFunBuff]

Now that’s funny!

[Richard Roeper @RichardERoeper]

I haven't seen anyone named Duke take such a hard and shocking fall since these guys tried to corner the frozen orange juice market in the early 1980s.

[Matt Van Nest @BigFunBuff]

@RichardERoeper It holds up for multiple viewings for me. The music plays such an integral part. Not sure if great but always intriguing and interesting. Definitely underrated.

[Matt Van Nest @BigFunBuff]

What a spineless hypocrite(like so many of them). He lays it out exactly as it is happening.

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

Prescient stuff here from @SecRubio

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

Dear #MAGA,

Can we hold your cult leader to his own words today?

[Matt Van Nest @BigFunBuff]

Agree, but half of our country has been convinced not to trust.

[Sen. Lisa Murkowski @lisamurkowski]

Efficiency in government should be a goal for every administration, agency, and federal employee. But how we achieve it also matters. By circumventing proper channels and procedures, and creating the potential to compromise the sensitive data of Americans, we create a tremendous amount of unnecessary anxiety. That is wrong. Good governance is based on trust, not fear.

[Matt Van Nest @BigFunBuff]

This!

[Fred Guttenberg @fred_guttenberg]

The Democrats need to reorganize today. Forget House and Senate, become the Party for America and choose the best Democrat for different roles. Choose a Press Secretary first. Choose someone to lead each department being dismantled who can explain the impact to Americans. The truth is, you have ZERO legislative function at this time. The truth is the other party is unified in this coup. Time for you to become unified and focused on nothing but communications and fighting like hell to save America.

[Matt Van Nest @BigFunBuff]

@AdrianneCurry Seems about right

[Christiana Figueres @CFigueres]

The result from this election will be seen as a major blow to global climate action, but it cannot and will not halt the changes underway to decarbonise the economy and meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.

Standing with oil and gas is the same as falling behind in a fast moving world. Clean energy technologies will continue to outcompete fossil fuels, not just because they are healthier, faster, cleaner and more abundant, but because they undercut fossil fuels where they are at their weakest: their unsolvable volatility and inefficiency.

Meanwhile, the vital work happening in communities everywhere to regenerate our planet and societies will continue, imbued with a new, even more determined spirit today. Being here in South Africa for The @EarthshotPrize makes clear that there is an antidote to doom and despair. It’s action on the ground, and it’s happening in all corners of the Earth.

[Ashton Pittman @ashtonpittman]

Regardless of the outcome, it'll always make me sad that so many people in this country happily vote for pure hatred, bigotry, and cruelty.

[Dana Goldberg @DGComedy]

No matter what happens, it saddens me deeply that rape, felonies, trying to overthrow our democracy, misogyny, racism and transphobia are somehow not deal breaks for 10’s of millions of Americans.

[Matt Van Nest @BigFunBuff]

well said.

[Rick Steves @RickSteves]

I long for the day when we can return to healthy and principled partisan debates. But this election is different… and much deeper than left versus right. It’s about the survival of our democracy.
The stakes are really high — and the best candidate is clear: @KamalaHarris

[Mikel Jollett @Mikel_Jollett]

You know what would be an October surprise?

The media actually treating Trump like the existential threat to democracy he actually is.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

The Kamala Harris town hall was fine. She’s more than capable. Vote against the fascist, for god’s sake. The end.

[Alyssa Farah Griffin @Alyssafarah]

We’ve never lived in a moment in modern history where so many Sr Military Officials & political officials have warned about the danger a POTUS they served under poses to America.

Let that sink in.

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

If your response to Gen John Kelly, gold star father & Trump’s WH chief of staff, confirming that Trump praised Hitler & called members of our military “suckers and losers” is to defend Trump, you need to look in the mirror and realize your dishonor will live forever.

[Matt Van Nest @BigFunBuff]

🤣🤣🤣 Brilliant

[Fearghas Kelly @FearghasKelly]

I better go superviral for this...

[Matt Van Nest @BigFunBuff]

Yup. I don’t know, but I find our country to be a pretty awesome place.

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

As always, Trump shits on America in his closing statement.

He always tears down America.
