Rewatched "Good Night and Good Luck" today. I was reminded of the direct connection between Joe McCarthy and Donald -- lawyer Roy Cohn.

McCarthy employs the same word salad fire hose of lies and smears that Trump does, just with a bit more refinement.

False allegations of Communists hidden in the government was the precursor of today's "deep state."

Cohn was Trump's mentor.

@WordsmithFL 🀬 but thanks for the reminder about a great movie.

@DJ95X I'm a big David Strathairn fan. I think next Saturday will be either "Lincoln" or "L.A. Confidential." My wife likes him in "A Midsummer Night's Dream."

I was stunned that they got him for "The Expanse."

@WordsmithFL so I had to look him up (BF is the one who knows all the actors 😏). Oh, *that* guy, yeah!
Which film did you choose?
