Tuesday, November 28, 2023
BQ RETURNS!!! FULLY BACK IN ACTION 11/29/23!
So sorry to be away for so long. Those pesky medical issues came bubbling up to torment your faithful move 'n book blogger, sideling me for over a week or so........
I'll go right to the good news. I'm back! I'm alive! And I'm pissed off that I couldn't let you know about the films I've been consuming (some of them while in the hospital, which I had to re-watch at home to catch the parts I missed when so rudely interrupted for blood pressure checks, electrocardiograms and I.V. flushings)
BQ's just about on the mend, so please, please, stop back into the site tomorrow and I promise you a whole load of reviews, snarky commentary and much more.....
Hope to see you all tomorrow when The Beached Quill comes roaring back into action......with a special new department..."Films you never heard of or forgot they ever existed at all"!! Happy Holidays to one and all.......
Love, actually......BQ

WEEKEND MADNESS WRAP-UP....SPECIAL "WHAT THE FOX IS GOING ON HERE?" EDITION....
\
Ron DeSantis declares himself 'Official Prince" of Walt Disney World, planning to move from the Florida Governor's Mansion and into Sleeping Beauty's Castle.....also proclaiming that as of the start of the new school year in September, all Florida public schools will only go up to 6th grade....stated the Governor, "Think of the money we'll save on teachers' salaries and there's really no need for kids to know any more beyond that grade....
Rupert Murdoch let his Fox News opinion anchors continue to push Trump's Big Lie about a rigged election......even though all of them knew Trump's accusations were complete and total bullshit....Murdoch stated he's taken immediate steps to correct the problem...."We just hired an exciting new host to join our stellar line-up. 'The George Santos Pants-On-Fire Hour' will kick off our new primetime schedule......rest assured, you needn't worry about anybody believing George...."
Comic strip 'Dilbert' loses its media outlets due to creator Scott Adams racist remarks.......remarked Adams, "Another perfect example of the ongoing oppression of white people....just ask Donald Trump...."

WEEKEND MADNESS WRAP-UP......SPECIAL "HASTA LA VISTA, DEMOCRACY" EDITION.....
I can't kid around about this......The United States Of America, the version we all grew up with, you know, the one created 246 years ago, way back in 1776....could go bye-bye on November 8th. .
Democracy as we know it, might only have 5 days left. I can hardly believe I'm typing this.
If the worst comes to pass, the destruction of the 'Great American Experiment' will stand as Donald Trump's ultimate achievement. Like a slowly metastasizing cancer, he infected the country with hate, stupidity, corruption and a veritable death-dealing tsunami of lies.
Like a depraved cult leader, he turned millions of formerly rational, intelligent Americans into mindless, soulless zombies. And he fattened his wallet with their money while he weakened whatever was left of their minds. At his Hitler-like rallies, he feeds them his steady diet of lies, which his minions gobble up like pigs in a trough. And still do.
The mind-boggling, horrifying irony of all this......MAGA was and is nothing more than another one of Trump's colossal grifts....a scam, just like Trump University and Trump steaks.. He believes none of the verbal excrement he spews out of his mouth to rev up his brainwashed Trumpanzees......
Forever and always, Trump believes in nothing......only in whatever will guarantee him the greater glorification of Trump. Above all else, Trump worships Trump.....everything else is a con, a come-on, a trick to part the suckers from their cash.....and their votes.
Tragically, even if truth, justice and accountability finally bring him to the jail time he's] richly deserved for decades, the irreparable damage he wreaked on the United States will take generations to repair and heal.
But as of now, there's no real guarantee any of that will happen. Even worse, we've been forced to live in the warped Trumpian universe, where his crazed zombies, their addled minds poisoned by Trump and QAnon rubbish, seek out Trump's political foes to exact bloody vengeance.
Trump's hands drip with the blood spilled by his goons....the blood of Capitol police and the blood that poured from the cracked skull of Nancy Pelosi's husband. And make no mistake....consider it a preview of coming attractions....look up Nazi Germany in the history books.
This imminent election is fraught with peril to democracy and the USA.....populated by GOP candidates of staggering ineptitude and idiocy.......election deniers, grifters, neo-Nazis and babbling imbeciles like Hershel Walker, espousing abortion bans while paying for his girlfriends abortions.
They're all children of Trump.......you can tell by the way they won't believe any election results that declare them losers......(which they'll always be, even if they win....)
Should the horror continue and they prevail.........prepare to adjust to living in a different country than the United States Of America.......you know the one I mean, the 1776 one.
Hasta La Vista, democracy.......we hardly knew ye.......Vote. And RESIST!
