Betty Gilpin is some fine ass. Also she plays Chris Pratt’s wife in The Tomorrow War, but unfortunately we don’t get to see her in action.

Good to know, thanks.

This is a conservative's dream. Yeah, the liberals are going to start murdering people for sport--just like they molest children and eat their flesh, right?

They will also be familiar with Orwell, yet fail to understand him. Sure.

And, of course, the conservative will not only possess the physical skills, but also the intellectual skills to defeat them all. Right. Oh, and the liberal will be wrong about identity of the main character. Right, cause liberal get things wrong all the time. Like Trump, who can't spell or that Frederick Douglas is dead. Oh wait, he's not liberal.

Conservatives think that liberals are going to murder or molest them when the opposite seems to be true. Look at the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6. Look at Matt Gates.

Conservatives dream stuff like this up, like liberals hunting them. When in reality it is they who do the hunting while liberals try to make the world more safe and equitable.

Portland has been under siege by antifa and blm for over a year, and no one cares....

remember when antifa destroyed businesses in NY and MN? again no one cares....

remember when dems protested the 2016 election by rioting and looting? still no one cares...

17 were murdered last weekend in liberal Chicago, no one cares...

a few people protested the stolen election and suddenly dems care now... oh the hypocrisy...

reply

These are fair points. Overall though, the conservatives are scarier. The FBI even says that white supremacists are the number one threat to the country. The military acknowledges the threat of global warming and is preparing for it. Antifa and BLM are reactions to the unmitigated violence and hatred of the right. They do go too far at times, but they would not exist had it not been for the racism and violence of the far right, which the republican party has stoked.

reply

Let me ask you a question. . .

Where are all these white supremacists? If you wanted to join a local Neo-Nazi group would you know where to go? I wouldn't and I live in a large city.

I would, however, know where to find the local BLM HQ and I saw Antifa active in the streets as well as the aftermath of their rampage.

The FBI is now a political organization. Just because they said something doesn't make it true. Sometimes you have to rely on the evidence of your own senses.

All these supposed "white supremacists" that are running around America are often talked about but almost never seen, and on the very rare occasion they are seen they are almost never engaging in violence except when they are attacked first.

Meanwhile, literally for months upon months, Antifa and BLM burned shit down, killed people and tried to silence dissenting voices via gestapo tactics.

reply

I would go on the internet looking for White Supremacists if I were so inclined. But there were some at Charlottesville. I seem to recall a few of them running people over. One went into a church, prayed with them, then killed about eight. This is just off the top of my head.

Just because two people exchange an email does not make an entire organization political. And, let's see, who were they opposing? Trump, a man who had no military or political experience, a man who criticized John McCain and other war veterans, a man who praised Vladamir Putin, while criticizing and lying about our own president. No wonder they didn't approve of him.

reply

Once again...sigh: Maybe all "white supremacists" are conservatives, but NOT ALL conservatives are "white supremacists". Hard to understand? No set theory at school?

reply

Just as all MLBs and Antif are left leaning, but not all liberals are Antifa or MLB.

reply

“attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6” was a guided tour by police who let them in…and Matt Gaetz, nobody believes your evidence lacking smear 😆

Libtards go on about it because that’s all they have. Confession through projection propaganda.

Meanwhile hundreds die and billions are damaged in Marxist riots, pedophilia is basically sung about (“we’re coming for your children” https://youtu.be/9o8nzQ5afwI), then you cry about defunding the police while enacting literal fascism with 25,000 troops in DC to protect the 1% who finally feel afraid of voters.

You’re either brainwashed or stupid, neither are a something to be proud of.

reply

You are calling someone ELSE brainwashed while you say something as absurd as Jan 6 was a guided tour. . . I'm not trying to be mean or insulting, I'm genuinely worried about you friend.

reply

No, he's right.

Here's the footage of police literally removing the gates, opening the doors and -- in one video -- the police literally guide the protestors to the chambers where Congress were gathered:

It's not an "attack" if the police literally invited, goaded, and ushered people into the Capitol.

reply

You realize there are other tapes of that day, right?

reply

Yep, and many show the police removing barricades and opening the doors for the protestors while Antifa filmed it all and sold it to CNN:

And here's more footage of police removing barricades:

(Unfortunately YouTube deleted most of the incriminating video footage of police letting protestors into the Capitol. You ever wonder why?)

reply

It doesn't really matter if police let them in at some points, at other points they forced their way in, they assaulted officers. Is that okay with you? They attacked our capital because they didn't like the outcome of the election. Okay with you?

Oh, and where was their "fearless" leader who said he'd be with them? Didn't show up.


reply

The problem was that this was orchestrated. Police and guards conveniently not there to enforce barriers. Other police leading protestors to the chambers where Congress was so they could get a nice photo OP for photographers who were waiting just outside the chambers to snap pictures for stories that literally went up BEFORE riot police even arrived on the scene (how did the photographers even KNOW that's where the protestors would be to snap these nice photos?)


And look here, as a guard casually allows them through the halls:
https://beta.ctvnews.ca/content/dam/ctvnews/images/2021/1/10/1_5256821.jpg?cache_timestamp=1610308909805

All the professional photographers for the big news orgs were also there waiting to snap those nice high resolution shots:

Do you know how big the Capitol building is? It's comprised of 540 rooms.

There are more than 800 doorways.

In other words, a handful of photographers from big name outlets could have been in any hallway or room and still missed all the action given how big the building is. Conveniently, however, they had guards to lead the protestors directly to them, as showcased here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0PrHDzacKE


They attacked our capital because they didn't like the outcome of the election. Okay with you?


They PROTESTED fraudulent results because it turns out, the results are fraudulent:
https://www.theepochtimes.com/mkt_morningbrief/wisconsin-lawmaker-calls-for-full-forensic-audit-after-georgia-arizona-updates_3905957.html?utm_source=morningbriefnoe&utm_medium=email&ut

More audits are incoming after it was discovered during the Arizona audit that thousands of ballots were dupes, just enough to put Biden over the line.

That kind of fraud doesn't disturb you knowing the elections were rigged?

reply

Liberals and the media who spread their propaganda are the number one threat to this once great country period.

reply

Facts betray your unfounded beliefs.

reply

Liberals try to make the world better, but they don't know that they're doing because they're so blinded so they end up making the world a much worse place to be. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

reply

And, of course, the conservative will not only possess the physical skills, but also the intellectual skills to defeat them all. Right. Oh, and the liberal will be wrong about identity of the main character. Right, cause liberal get things wrong all the time.


Minor quibble: The villains are armchair liberals, no question. but there's nothing to indicate Crystal's political leaning, if she even has one

She's obviously had advanced combat and survival training, and she's likely been "in the shit," but beyond that we know nothing about her conservatism/liberalism/independence

Also, getting her identity wrong wasn't too big a strike against the "liberals" in this film; the post office gets it wrong, after all ("I get her mail sometimes")

Agreed that they missed the point of "Animal Farm," though, not only naming Crystal "Snowball [the idealist]," but in failing to notice how they, themselves, were the Animal Farm pigs in their own story (elitist, overly smug, inconsiderate, acting like soldiers the way the pigs walked on two legs, etc.)

reply

What? Conservatives didn't mind the Grrl Power? Not at all. A woman with giant cans shooting firearms is a huge turn-on for them. The liberals in the film were victims of cancel culture. I'm not sure why they decided to take out their anger on MAGA nobodies instead of corporate and elites. Or the person who leaked their group chat.

And the protagonist at the end puts on sky heels, a slinky dress, and eats caviar -- becoming the person she deposed (as in Animal Farm).
