Trump pushes racist anecdote to defend voter fraud lie

In a meeting with congressional leaders, Trump continued to push the lie that 3 million to 5 million undocumented immigrants voted illegally.

According to the New York Times, Trump’s rationale came by way of an anecdote from famous 59-year-old Bavarian golfer Bernhard Langer.

Trump described an incident in which Langer “was standing in line at a polling place in Florida on Election Day … when an official informed Mr. Langer he would not be able to vote.”

“Ahead of and behind Mr. Langer were voters who did not look as if they should be allowed to vote, Mr. Trump said, according to the staff members — but they were nonetheless permitted to cast provisional ballots,” the Times continued.

“The president threw out the names of Latin American countries that the voters might have come from.”

Trump described one incident in which a single rich white person was unable to vote.

That could have been the result of any number of bad but mundane reasons from inaccurate registration records to Langer arriving at the wrong precinct, while other nonwhite people were allowed to vote.

This is not evidence of mass voter fraud.

This is evidence Trump is suspicious of any Latino person who tries to vote. Textbook racism. Read more

This makes me want to cry.

Don’t ever pity the dead, always pity the living.

Alan Rickman in Dogma

Probably my favourite role he has ever played, nobody pulls of pissed off, sassy, sarcastic angel like he does.

Alan was my friend and so this is hard to write because I have just kissed him goodbye. What I remember most in this moment of painful leave-taking is his humor, intelligence, wisdom and kindness. His capacity to fell you with a look or lift you with a word. The intransigence which made him the great artist he was — his ineffable and cynical wit, the clarity with which he saw most things, including me, and the fact that he never spared me the view. I learned a lot from him. He was the finest of actors and directors, I couldn’t wait to see what he was going to do with his face next. I consider myself hugely privileged to have worked with him so many times and to have been directed by him. He was the ultimate ally. In life, art and politics. I trusted him absolutely. He was, above all things, a rare and unique human being and we shall not see his like again.

I always thought about theatre – I’m not sure about film, but certainly in the theatre – if I could press two buttons, first I’d have my lines going across the back of the auditorium, with electric lights – that would calm me down. The other one is all actors should have a t-shirt, whatever the costume, that just says on it, “Believe it or not, I’m doing my best.”
