@NBCPolitics · 1h : "President Obama called me last night and said, 'Tim, remember, this is no time to be a purist. You've got to keep a fascist out of the White House,'" Sen. Kaine says in a video clip featured in a new documentary about Hillary Clinton. Te Va. lawmaker is heard discussing the conversation in 2016 in "Hillary," an upcoming documentary. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/obama-called-trump-fascist-during-phone-call-sen-kaine-says-n1122316?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_np

Obama’s 2016 Warning: Trump Is a ‘Fascist’ The newly revealed comment is one of the former president’s strongest known critiques of his successor. .........The footage is part of the new Hulu documentary Hillary, which was obtained by The Atlantic ahead of its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival today. “President Obama called me last night and said, ‘Tim, this is no time to be a purist,’” Kaine tells his then–running mate. “‘You’ve got to keep a fascist out of the White House.’” Clinton replies: “I echo that sentiment.”....... ........ “If you look at the definition [of fascist], which I’ve had the occasion to read several times,” Clinton said, “I think we can agree on several things: One, he has authoritarian tendencies and he admires authoritarian leaders, [Vladimir] Putin being his favorite. He uses a form of really virulent nationalism. He identifies targets: immigrants, blacks, browns, gays, women, whoever the target of the day or week is … I think you see a lot of the characteristics of what we think of [as] nationalistic, fascistic kinds of tendencies and behaviors.” ......... .....Clinton also notes that she is “scared” and suspicious of what Trump is up to. “His agenda is other people’s agenda,” she says. “We’re scratching hard, trying to figure it out. He is the vehicle, the vessel for all these other people.” “[Paul] Manafort, all these weird connections,” Kaine replies, referring to Trump’s former campaign chair, who is now in prison after being convicted of financial crimes related to his international business dealings. “[Michael] Flynn, who is a paid tool for Russian television,” Clinton continues, referring to Trump’s onetime national security adviser and former campaign surrogate. “The way that Putin has taken over the political apparatus …” she starts to say. ........ https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/01/obama-2016-trump-fascist/605488/?utm_term=2020-01-25T21%3A44%3A27&utm_content=edit-promo&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=the-atlantic&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_term=2020-01-25T21%3A49%3A39&utm_content=edit-promo&utm_campaign=the-atlantic

Endorsement: Elizabeth Warren will push an unequal America in the right direction The Register's editorial | Des Moines Register | 2 minutes ago STORY HIGHLIGHTS Many of her ideas aren't radical. They are right. she must show that her vision will lift people up rather than divide them. She cares about people, and she will use her seemingly endless energy and passion to fight for them. The outstanding caliber of Democratic candidates makes it difficult to choose just one "........Warren’s competence, respect for others and status as the nation’s first female president would be a fitting response to the ignorance, sexism and xenophobia of the Trump Oval Office. She is a thinker, a policy wonk and a hard worker. She remembers her own family’s struggles to make ends meet and her own desperation as a working mother needing child care. She cares about people, and she will use her seemingly endless energy and passion to fight for them. At this moment, when the very fabric of American life is at stake, Elizabeth Warren is the president this nation needs." https://amp.desmoinesregister.com/amp/4562157002?__twitter_impression=true

Trump defends Sanders, stoking Democratic divisions Politics Jan 25, 2020 3:00 PM EST WASHINGTON — As tensions between Democratic presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren rose earlier this month, Sanders found himself with an unusual ally: President Donald Trump. During a raucous campaign rally in which Trump critiqued some of his Democratic challengers, the president launched into an unprompted defense of Sanders........... Trump is taking a page out of his own playbook from the election four years ago and betting that the Democratic divisions that helped him win the White House are even deeper now. ...... Though Trump and Sanders are at odds on most major issues, they have some striking similarities. Both rose to political prominence without the backing of their parties’ establishment, but now wield significant influence over those parties’ policy positions. Both men have forged visceral connections with lower income voters, in part by pledging to revamp trade policies they say have hurt American workers. ........ https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/trump-defends-sanders-stoking-democratic-divisions

Sat., 1-25 for Noir Alley.......... 12:00 AM B/W - 92 m TV-PG Try and Get Me! (1950) Synopsis: Dir: Cyril Endfield Cast: Frank Lovejoy , Kathleen Ryan , Richard Carlson . Film critic Dennis Schwartz liked the film and discussed the political and social aspects of the film. He wrote, "Endfield's social consciousness film hits hard at uncontrolled violence in small-town America in much the same way as did Fritz Lang's Fury (also based on the same factual episode). Soon after making this film, the director was blacklisted because of his leftist positions on social and political issues. It's a superb characterization of America's thirst for crime and violence; one of the most powerful statements ever from a Hollywood film about the class divide in America and the yellow rag press that incites the public with poisonous newspaper coverage to sell papers. It calls attention to something about the 'cowboy attitude' in Americans that they don't like to acknowledge about themselves, but Europeans are quite aware of ..........." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sound_of_Fury_(film) -(beware Spoilers) LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW: 😧 Cyril Endfield. Frank Lovejoy, Kathleen Ryan, Richard Carlson, Lloyd Bridges, Katherine Locke, Adele Jergens, Renzo Cesara. Husband and father Lovejoy can't find a job, so he reluctantly helps slick Bridges in a series of robberies . . . but he isn't prepared for kidnapping and murder. Very impressive independent film noir indicts yellow journalism and lynch-mob violence, but doesn't let the criminals off the hook. Based on a true story that took place in California during the 1930s. Deserves to be better known. Originally shown as THE SOUND OF FURY.

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff · 4h After listening to the President’s lawyers opening arguments, I have three observations: They don’t contest the facts of Trump’s scheme. They’re trying to deflect, distract from, and distort the truth. And they are continuing to cover it up by blocking documents and witnesses.

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson Wait... they have 24 hours to work with, and they're giving up after 150 minutes? I mean, I know they're coming back Monday, but they had EIGHT HOURS allotted for their defense today, and we just got 150 MINUTES. There's no way around that fact. 11:13 AM · Jan 25, 2020 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- vuduchyld @vuduchyld · When the facts are against you, argue the law. When the law is against you, argue the facts. When the facts and the law are against you, just shut it down because you've already threatened to put the jurors #HeadsOnAPike

@SaraJBenincasa Here's why I'm happy to support @ewarren for president. For me, as with most of her supporters, choosing her above others has nothing to do with denigrating the competition! A couple of them in particular have great potential. But I choose Sen. Warren because of these reasons..... I'm registered as an independent, and I like pragmatic progressives. @ewarren is a bold leader with a brilliant mind, keen insights into economics, and a compassionate approach to everything from reproductive rights to sexuality and gender expression and beyond......... She's always listening & learning. I don’t want a leader who remains stuck in their ways without being open to growth. I don’t want a president who can’t admit when they’ve made a mistake and can’t course-correct. When she makes a mistake, she owns it & apologizes. I respect it. ........ I admire her ability to communicate complex concepts in an accessible way . I love her commitment to celebrating a diverse, multicultural America by taking real action that actually affects communities most affected by white supremacy and patriarchy.......... https://twitter.com/SaraJBenincasa/status/1220433495123808258

Fri., 1-24 for Mitchum in the 70's............. (times ET) 10:00 PM B/W - 95 m Farewell, My Lovely (1975) Synopsis: Marlowe has been hired by a huge and surly ex-convict, Moose Malloy, to find his old girlfriend Velma, whom he has not seen in seven years. At the same time, Marlowe is investigating the murder of a client named Marriott, who was a victim of blackmail Dir: Dick Richards Cast: Robert Mitchum , Charlotte Rampling , John Ireland . "...... Roger Ebert gave it four stars saying "Farewell, My Lovely never steps wrong." Most of the praise went to Mitchum and Miles. A New York Times review noted "Silvia Miles plays a role that seems an overdone clich until you realize that she is doing it with such subtlety that her lost beauty keeps flickering back"; "Robert Mitchum always takes getting to know in a role... But he settles into his part, his performance drops away and he moves through the picture with force, humor and unexpected humility." ..... http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/74572/Farewell-My-Lovely/articles.html =============================================== 2:00 AM TCM Underground..... B/W - 82 m Scary Movie (1991) Synopsis: we find our protagonist, the gangly, buttoned-up Warren (no last name given, simply "Warren" and played by John Hawkes) waiting with ever-growing terror to enter the house of horrors. The townspeople wear fake masks, outrageous costumes and garish makeup. Warren trembles in khaki pants and a collared shirt buttoned to the neck. As people laugh and joke, he sweats and shakes. This is his personal hell. Dir: Daniel Erickson Cast: John Hawkes , ".... This is an ode to Halloween in a small country town, a Ray Bradbury-esque setting of wind blowing through the leaves and the moon shining on pitch-black nights. Anyone who remembers the horror of the annual haunted house will recall the anticipation of waiting in line, the anxiety of wondering what lies inside. The cinematography lends a helping hand, too, painting blacks in a frightening opaqueness of onyx and indigo and bringing out the bright orange of pumpkins off the vine. http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/521355/Scary-Movie/articles.html 3:30 AM B/W - 101 m Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, The (1986) Synopsis: During disc jockey Vantia Block's radio show, two hoodlums begin calling and harrassing her. Things take an abrupt turn when the boys drive into a location where there are confronted by Leatherface and sawed into bits as the horrified Vantia listens on the phone. The sheriff convinces Vantia to play a recording of the phone call on the air, in the hopes that the killer will come to the station so that he can be caught.

"....... holds a 48% approval rating on film review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, based on 31 reviews with an average rating of 4.87/10. Its consensus reads, "Without the tense atmosphere of its predecessor, the stakes feel lower, but The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 still shocks with a gonzo blend of over-the-top humor and gore." ....... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Texas_Chainsaw_Massacre_2#Reception
