Democrats want to get rid of the Electoral College - BECAUSE DEMOCRACY ya dum fk
And so do most Americans. Why should the Economic Royalists have a mechanism to
short circuit democracy? Answer is: they shouldn't.
National polls almost always favor Democrats.
That's why Democrats always win the popular vote as well.
The fight is over the swing states.
There is a lot of unfocused anti-Trump sentiment out there, and even Republicans are looking for any excuse not to vote for this James-Bondian criminal type.
I would liken Trump support from the Right to the support for Palestinians/Hamas on the Left, people who are ignorant, naive and just plain stupid with emotional issues as the mass of Trump voters, losers who believe they will get something for nothing just for being white racists, or whatever, and then there are the manipulative billionaire overlords who delight in having found a way to mobilize these otherwise useless plebes who can be manipulated with fairy stories.
The ancient Kamala anti-Trump ad offers some relief that maybe she gets it and can actually blast Trump out of politics.
I've been away from MovieChat for the better part of a year, but I remember you now and some others here as being a voice of reason among what seems to be a site full of out of control right-wing trolls. Cheers.
Bill Kristol, not someone I normally put much store in, was on the Bulwark podcast with Tim Miller a day or two ago mentioned an interesting choice of former NATO Commander Jim Stavridis - an interesting choice.
James George Stavridis (born February 15, 1955) is a retired United States Navy admiral and vice chair, global affairs, and a managing director-partner of The Carlyle Group, a global investment firm, and chair of the board of trustees of the Rockefeller Foundation.
Stavridis' Wikipedia page says the following:
On July 12, 2016, The New York Times and other media organizations reported that Stavridis was being vetted by the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign as a possible vice presidential running mate on the Democratic ticket.[77] The Washington Post summarized Stavridis' qualifications in a short video.[78] Publications like the Navy Times cited his NATO leadership as pluses.[79] An article in Politico called him "Hillary's Anti-Trump." Stavridis was quoted in that article as joking, "My name is too long for a bumper sticker."[80] Eventually, Clinton selected Tim Kaine.[81]
On December 8, 2016, Stavridis went to Trump Tower in New York City to meet with president-elect Donald Trump. Following the meeting, Stavridis told reporters that they had discussed world events, cybersecurity and other matters.[82] Press accounts suggested he was under consideration for secretary of state or director of national intelligence.[83] On December 14, 2016, however, in an interview on MSNBC's Morning Joe, Stavridis said that he would not be taking a position in the Trump administration.[84]

Still mostly filled with loutish aholes.
The birthday guy died?
The bots have learned how to cooperate while I've been gone.
Only been gone 10 months.
I think he's right. What kind of orders, and what command would write up a get out of jail free card. Why would someone draw up orders for papers like that? If you want to give a specific person safe passage, you would at a minimum attack their name to it, and maybe their picture.
The writers should have come up with a more well defined MacGuffin, as riraho below says. But, there is something about all the oddball aspects of this movie that just makes it one of the best movies ever made in many different dimensions.
Since your first impulse followed through on is to be an asshole you're telling me there is at least one troll present and accounted for.
It would actually be nice if there were a bit more depth to people responses instead of just name-calling, or comments that could be construed to be superior or name-calling.
I said it was weird, not that I was "weirded out". I'm not weirded out.
You just assume I talking homophobically, but really it is an effeminate thing to say - which is adjacent to, but not the same as homophobia. It's like a man man-splaining to a woman how she should decide her love. How would be know, and know better than a woman? There is a deep complexity to this exchange, which I think is why people just glossed over it. That's how it's weird.
That ain't nothing, I did that ages ago and never got a congratulations.
Invasion got bad real fast.
"Trapped" and "Fortitude", and a Russian series "To The Lake" were all good.
Australia is just America in the Southern Hemisphere now that some of you are a little bit civilized and can engage in civil discussion ... not you of course.
The Hamas attacks of 10-7 uncovered a very ugly streak in a certain faction of the Left that is a very ugly stain on the Left. I for many decades and some others I've seen recently came out strongly against trying to make Hamas and other bad guys sympathetic victims to the Left, yet it continued in weird non-mainstream media ways.
I read an article a few days ago about the demographics in Germany. Germany is now about 2% Jews and 12% Muslim, which means that the mainstream politicians are forced by democratic rules to represent Muslims more, and because of their birthrates they will be 30% or so of the population by 2050.
I reject the Leftist rhetoric from anyone who makes it about Muslims, or Hamas ... this is a clever frontal assault on the West, an existential threat just as bad as the Right-wing haters. Two poles of undemocratic groups who are ruining it for the rest of the country.
Why would they put your online goofball fairy tales in speeches and parades?
