    Why couldn’t they change their mind on Boba Fett’s death. It’s not like Lucas has never changed his mind on a character before. Like when Vader went from being a total badass to being a whiny little bitch in his early years?

    Because JJ Abrams is not the show runner, and this is not a reboot.

    Well, I would assume Jews already constitute a protected class ("race", religion).  The race/religion/nation nexus has always been a bit confounding, but this EO seems like it won't accomplish much good.  It's important to seek Trump's real motivation, which I imagine is a means by which Muslims can be more easily persecuted.

    Occam’s Razor.  He fucked up a speech to a bunch of Jews a few days ago, he’s not polling well among many Jews.   Spend 5 minutes signing an EO and taking a photo, and as far as he’s concerned, everything will be kosher.  “Somebody says I offended some of you, here’s something to show I care, and now you can do me a favor and vote for me.”

    I’m sure he’ll come up with something that’s less of a hassle.

    Maybe tattoos.

    This is one hell of a way to characterize an order that effectively declares Jews to be not American.

     

    Stephen Miller’s fingerprints are all over that one.

    I also think he’s a lock to get re-elected. But I bet he and other politicians will probably think twice before engaging in these kind of activities again. Even though he’ll escape punishment there’s no questioning that this has been a massive pain in the ass for him.

    You know who doesn’t think he’s a lock to get re-elected?  President Donald J Trump.  His twitter feed is that of somebody who is scared shitless he’s going to lose next year.  He drops dire threats about the Democrats winning in order to whip his base up.  He claims he’s done the bestest and mostest for the United States of America’s and therefore does not deserved to be impeached.  All he has are hollow threats and promises.   He promises farmers billions of dollars in welfare because of his fuckups, because he’s scared they will leave him   He works hard to create fear in his base, because he himself is full of fear.  He doesn’t know yet who the Dem candidate is going to be, and he fucked up royally in assuming it was a Uncle Joe   

    And Trump still gets to face a collection of state AGs when he leaves office.    Sure, some politicians will continue to do shady shit like Trump, albeit on a much smaller scale, but actually they have to start worrying a bit.  Nunes is a prime example - he’s been facing some heat over his ties to Rudy’s people, and I have a feeling that the Dems and the media are not done with him.  
     

    Hell, he’s at a campaign rally tonight, and why does he campaign so much?  Somebody who was sure they were a lock wouldn’t be constantly campaigning like he does.  

  6. Having the original cast, minus Rick, and given how competently filmed/written this looks (including comments from Akroyd and others) this thing is going to hit a billion easily.  Probably the only movie ever set in Oklahoma that will make a billion.

    dont want to beat the dead horse of good movie bad movie, but I wish they would have gone deeper into the internal conflict of Finn having second thoughts of being a storm trooper. And then dying to redeem himself to save the rebellion at the end

    If Finn had been allowed to sacrifice himself at the end of TLJ, it would have redeemed a lot of that movie.

    I think Trump was going to get re-elected anyways, but this planned, transparent and flawed impeachment is going to put the nail in the coffin.

    You know who doesn't think that?  President Donald J. Trump.  How do I know?  I look at his twitter feed every day or two.  The man is scared shitless and his constant whining and attacks make that abundantly clear.

    We are almost to the point where he's just going to retweet this every day:

     

    DO SOMETHING!

    Wow, even in basic training we learned not to do something as fucking stupid as this, I'm honestly surprised they would group up like that.  This isn't some dark hallway where they are clearing rooms.  They are in the open.

    On a related note - Ol' Art is wanting to get into politics, me thinks.  He's going after Turtle, the NRA, Cornyn, and Cruz, and he's getting a shitload of attention around the US.

    Edit: Acevedo made the comments after the funeral for one of his officers.  Twitter is now saying that one of the cops shot today is dead.  Wonder if Cornyn is going to be as snide as he was.

    This is the worst, most tedious, most excrutiatingly tendentious impeachment ever. I used to be in favor of it, but damn if you people aren't just thoroughly godawful human beings to make people suffer through this total waste of time. Can you kill with boredom? Looks like we're going to find out.

    It's really hard to find an analogy, but here's an attempt:

    This is like an Adam Sandler movie on Netflix, with our fearless main cast: 

    • Ronald Drumpf - Adam Sandler 
    • Jimmie Gordon - Bobcat Goldthwaite 
    • Doug Rollins - Rob Schneider
    • Kevin Nunez - Jon Lovitz
    • Matt Gates - David Spade
    • Steve Cantor - Steve Buscemi
    • Rafael Cruz - Kevin Nealon
    • Mitch McDonald - Henry Winkler
    • Lincoln Graham - Norm Macdonald
    • Louie Juliannie - Robert Smigel

    Act One: Drumpf has a lot of friends.  Well, they aren't really friends, at least not in the traditional sense.    Drumpf and his "friends" maybe did some really shady shit and took some money from some people that they'd rather not have the rest of the world know about  And maybe they are even in debt to these people.  One-by-one, he brings his "friends" to various golf courses that he owns, and he tells them "now look, I know you don't like me, and I don't like you, but guess what?  I maybe did some bad things, some really bad things, and I know that maybe you did some really bad things, and I need you to protect me, and so if you protect me, I won't tell anybody about the bad things you did."  We see a brief montage of the shady shit they did, and him threatening them on a golf course.

    Act Two:  Now all of Drumpf's "friends" are nervous as shit.  They are not happy, because they feel like he could throw them under the bus at any moment, but they are dutifully out there protecting him, in order to save their asses.  They are constantly texting each other, and trying to stay on Drumpf's good side.

    Act Three:   Drumpf takes all of his "friends" into a massive casino.  Now, some of his "friends" actually control half of the casino.  But the other half of the casino is owned by Shifty Adam (Adam Scott) and Nancy Potosi (Tina Fey), Drumpf's enemies.  Drumpf gathers his "friends" around him and announces that they are going to rob the shit out of the casino right then and there. They are going to steal everything they can get their hands on, and every one of them better leave the casino with at least a half a million.  The "friends" protest, saying that they control half the casino, and that if he needs a favor or money, just give them time and they'll take care of him.  But no, Ronald Drumpf wants this to be remembered by everybody.    And he tells his "friends" that if they fail to do what he says, or if he is even so much as touched by a security guard, that he will rat every single one of them out to the police.  To top it all off, he tells Matt Gates that he better shit in his hand and start flinging it at security cameras, and that Jimmie Gordon better pull every fire alarm, and make his way to the control room and turn on the fire sprinklers.

    We are currently deep into Act Three.

    Didn't think I could hate an AG more than Ashcroft and then Gonzales. 

    But Barr doesn't feel he even has to hide his bias and corruption, apparently. Unprecedented but sadly, right in line with the M.O. he's always shown.  

    Barr was only hired with one reason in mind:  To protect Trump.

    Wait, someone gave Boing Dogboner a platform? Ugh.

    It's worse:  It takes 5 minutes to setup a news aggregation site like Drudge.  There is absolutely nothing special about Drudge technically.  Drudge was big early on though, and had the perfect timing for some major Clinton stories.  Mong Bonjoiner doesn't have that, although he does have Trump's twitter feed.

    Pretty soon, Dong Bojackjoiner is probably going to be complaining that Google is oppressing him, because in the years since Drudge and a few other sites, Google decided that news aggregation sites were not actual news sites in and of themselves, so that when you go searching for news on Google, you don't get directed to Drudge and then click on the link on Drudge's site to whatever the story is.  Rather, Google just links you to the story outright.

    In fact, you can even be penalized by Google for such sites if you are not careful.  

    But Kong Joinbanger knows none of that, and doesn't need it, because Trump's twitter feed and the millions of bots will keep traffic flowing to his site.

    Chris Wallace basically just said 'everything trump and kellyanne were just saying is not true based on this report'.

    I'm honestly surprised that he's lasted this long.

    I know but it still sucks balls.  The relationship between our unaccountable big tech companies and our unaccountable big military is terrifying AF from a 30k feet perspective.  It is what it is. 

    Would you feel better if it was some podunk CloudsIsUs.com outfit that does a few million in business every year, that's owned by some guy who tossed trump a million or two for his inauguration?  Maybe a Prince/DeVos family friend?

    And here's the kicker: If it had been any other outfit but Amazon, Microsoft, Google, IBM, or Oracle, they would most likely still be hosting the infrastructure on....drum roll please....Amazon, Microsoft, Google, IBM, or Oracle (well maybe not Oracle).

    There are some things you can't get around at this scale.
