“This country was built on patriots stepping up, whether it was popular or not, and doing the right thing. I truly believe this is the right thing,” Cain told Watters.

Cain is among a group of Hollywood actors, including Jon Voight and Mel Gibson, who have aligned themselves with Trump’s MAGA movement. He slammed James Gunn’s recently released Superman film as “woke”; the movie has received high praise from critics and filmgoers on Rotten Tomatoes.

The actor, born Dean George Tanaka, recently spoke about his Japanese heritage on his father’s side in an interview with Variety, saying members of his family were placed in internment camps.

“My family was interred in the Minidoka internment camp in Idaho,” Cain said. “That was a horrible injustice, but I don’t think that I deserve any sort of reparations.”

What a Hypocrite!

[The Roux Comes First]

1. More Than a Few Humans Are Either Born or Raised "Sick," and These Seem Like Exemplars of That

3. Very true. Sad isn't it?

12. The very trauma

that his grandparents experienced, losing everything and being forced into the internment camp, could have caused epigenetic damage passed down to him.

2. What a sad pathetic man.

5. Agreed, Solly.

I hope his grandparents come back to haunt him in his dreams.

13. Especially since Obon is this week in Japan, when ancestors come back to visit.

Wait until they find out about this, it's asking for trouble.

14. Thank you for the history, betsuni.

Obon (お盆; [o.boꜜɴ][1]) or just Bon (盆; [boꜜɴ][2][a]) is a fusion of the ancient Japanese belief in ancestral spirits and a Japanese Buddhist custom to honor the spirits of one's ancestors. This Buddhist custom has evolved into a family reunion holiday during which people return to ancestral family places and visit and clean their ancestors' graves when the spirits of ancestors are supposed to revisit the household altars. It has been celebrated in Japan for more than 500 years and traditionally includes a dance, known as Bon Odori.

August 15 of the Gregorian calendar (Hachigatsu Bon or "Bon in August"; Tsukiokure Bon or "Month Later Obon&quot : This is the most commonly celebrated time across Japan.

I Don’t think his ancestors are going to be happy with him.

15. You're welcome! Lafcadio Hearn describes the Bon Odori in 1890.

Summer is ghost story season in Japan, I always reread Hearn's ghost stories this time of year.

"Unto what, I ask myself, may this be likened? Unto nothing; yet it suggests some fancy of somnambulism -- dreamers, who dream themselves flying, dreaming upon their feet. ... Under the wheeling moon, in the midst of the round, I feel as one within the circle of charm. And verily this is enchantment; I am bewitched, bewitched by the ghostly weaving of hands, the rhythmic gliding of feet, above all by the flitting of the marvelous sleeves -- apparitional, soundless, velvety as a flitting of great tropical bats. ... And with the consciousness of the ancient hakaba behind me, and the weird invitations of its lanterns, and the ghostly beliefs of the hour and the place, there creeps upon me a nameless, tingling sense of being haunted.

"Those who sleep the sleep of centuries out there, under the gray stones where the white lanterns are, and their fathers, and the fathers of their fathers' fathers, and the unknown generations behind them, buried in cemeteries of which the place has been forgotten for a thousand years, doubtless looked upon a scene like this. Nay! the dust stirred by those young feet was human life, and so smiled and so sang under this self-same moon, 'with woven paces, and with waving hands.'

"And the emotion itself -- what is it? I know not; yet I feel it to be something infinitely more old than I -- something not of only one place or time, but vibrant to all common joy or pain of being, under the universal sun. Then I wonder if the secret does not lie in some untaught spontaneous harmony of that chant with Nature's most ancient song, in some unconscious kinship to the music of solitudes -- all trillings of summer life that blend to make the great sweet Cry of the Land."

4. I think he specifically deserves none. As ye sow, so shall ye reap.

6. I fully agree, marble falls.

7. How you doing? I don't seem to bump into you much these days.

[sheshe2]

8. I haven't been posting all that much.

The abuse from this admin is difficult to take 24/7. It's tiring and depressing.

[marble falls]

17. I fight it daily. Stay in the process or strap up. What we really need: a 75 year old partisan ...

... if you can find a relief, please let me know! Right now realizing that TACO/MAGA has to know that the courts are not allowing them a quarter of what they really want to do, the notion that they they are trying to wear me/us down is the biggest thing past moral outrage that keeps in the mosh pit. Allwe got to do is keep on doing what we can. That includes you and me talking each other down!

9. Like most right-wingers, he has "daddy issues"

His first-generation Japanese-American father abandoned the family so that's probably why he doesn't like immigrants.

[marble falls]

18. Maybe he realized the scum in what he had sired. No excuse, but maybe an explanation.

[Cha]

11. Dean Cain is NO "patriot" he's a fucking

Magats care about Nothing except their Own self centered Greed and Power.
