Some Headline News
After Trump derided the South Korean film ‘Parasite’ winning the Oscar, Neon films (the distributor of the film) offered their pithy response as to why: “He can’t read.” The actors speak Korean with English subtitles, so Trump has no idea what it is about.
Trump is angry that US intel is following the law and briefing Congress on threats to the US, because that means that Democrats are being informed that the Russians are attempting to interfere in the 2020 election. He has fired the Director of National Intelligence and put the Twitter troll who he appointed the ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell, to take over. If Grenell leaves Germany I’m not sure Angela Merkel will allow him back as she has already asked to have him replaced. Grenell has been promoting the extreme Right-wing nationalist political parties in Europe which make the German government very uneasy. The current Germans have a real dislike for fascists having experienced the end result of those policies.
