That's kind of the whole point of this conversation though isn't it - the line between a sting operation and entrapment, and whether "intent" can be considered a type of thought crime because no crime actually occurred. I'm not claiming I have all the answers.
The point of my analogy was the specific dollar amount stolen, and that it doesn't logically follow that the person stole that amount of money... because it never existed in the first place. I guess to make it more apt, I could say that the person spoke about stealing it, began to reach for the backpack, and that's when the cops stepped in.
Kind of makes sense though. If I lied about a backpack having $10,000 in it, and you stole it - it's hard to logically claim you stole $10,000 even though it was your intent to do so. Somewhat similar to the fact that they were never actually communicating with a minor.
I have no idea what the technical legalities for this are, however.
My first look, and my last look.
Either a troll or one of the dumbest people in existence - Poe's law strikes again. (it's a troll though, fyi)
Hell no. This is like asking if Beethoven or Chopin is overrated - some genius simply cannot be denied, and must be given proper respect.
Very true, though with Lucas it's even worse because he relegated the unaltered OT to a garbage, non-anamorphic DVD extra and we haven't seen it again since.
There's at least a few Cameron releases on standard Blu-ray that are acceptable, but who knows if we'll ever see a proper 4K of these films after his recent massacres. He's obsessed with digital shit, and that's okay if you're only making digital shit, but leave the classic 35mm films alone, ffs.
Lucas, Jackson, Cameron... it's disturbing how they've all gone down a similar path.
Great, so we can see firsthand what new horrors of AI manipulation and digital noise reduction Cameron has unleashed on this poor film, just like his other recent "4K" releases. Dude needs to be medicated at this point and the reins taken far away.
Correct - it's not different camera lenses and lighting, it's Biden Clone #245 from Cryogenic Storage Unit 4A. You know the movie Moon? It's like that, but with Bidens instead of Sam Rockwells.
I'm so smart.
Trump was consistently turning his head beforehand (pointing at charts), it's not like it was some sudden movement out of nowhere.
And to the OP's main statement: of course it doesn't. Nonsense like this is why the right is often as laughable as the left. Illogical cultish fervor of different flavors.
Excellent trailer, no doubt.
Random Moviechat user surely knows the exact extent of Trump's injuries and whether or not a bandage should continue to be worn, as well as the appropriate size of said bandage.
Random Moviechat user surely is not completely full of shit with a healthy dose of TDS brainrot.
That's called low resolution + video compression - it's the star logo on the water tower: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GSx-9ydXwAAuOvV?format=jpg&name=medium
This conspiratorial nonsense gets dumber by the day, to the surprise of no one.
Underrated performance in Bernie, for sure.
I'll take responsibility for trying to logically engage with a one-day-old account. Never a good idea.
The exact type of "principles" (heavy quotes) that lead to endless shit slinging, division, and null cooperation. Truly an enlightening ape-brained mindset. Thanks for that.
It's called having principles, and if you disagree with the concept of cancel culture you shouldn't be engaging with it. The left thinks they can solve racism with more racism, and that's just as foolish as what you're suggesting.
You'd think humans would understand this by now.
I mean, as distasteful as his "ad libbed joke" was, I feel a bit bad for the dude. He's always been in JB's shadow and went through some dark shit in the early 2010s, and now he's getting universally reamed.
His own fault of course, but Trump seems to break some people's brains, and you have to wonder how much of that is simply media consumption and being stuck in certain echo chambers.
Speaking of which, it is very interesting how people on the right who claim to disavow cancel culture are cheering on his destruction, even going so far as to wanting him deported from Australia (ridiculous). The concepts of apology, mercy, and forgiveness all go out the window when someone is on the opposite side of the political spectrum.
It does feel a bit like a "I'm taking my toys and going home" overreaction, and based on Jack's past comments, I'm not fully convinced he wasn't in on the joke.
Regardless, it's a net negative for Tenacious D not to be touring or making music.
Maybe he had these grand plans, but I think it's equally as likely he was just at the end of his ropes, considering the reports about his history/bullying coming out. A school shooter mindset - one destructive act before potential suicide. Instead of taking out a bunch of random people however, he saw an opportunity to up the stakes with Trump visiting his area.
Curious what the actual motive will be though, if it's actually discovered/released.
You're coming from the typical conspiracy-minded perspective that the government is all-knowing, all-seeing, and always flawless in their actions.
Humans are humans, the world is chaotic, and things rarely go perfectly to plan. Unexpected things happen. Oversights and incompetence exists.
I wonder when the last time these specific Secret Service members actually dealt with a real-world scenario like this, if ever? One of the women had trouble holstering her gun she was so rattled.
People have trouble imagining that a single lone nut can dramatically alter history, which is why JFK conspiracies are still so prevalent even today, but it's a bitter pill you're going to have to swallow. The world is messy, and no one is fully in control.
