    This is very similar to his playing of fortunate son.

    He watched the movie and though the fire-murder guy was a badass.

    (Or more likely, he never watched the movie).

    I just realised he doesn’t make these himself (or come up with them). But still. Asshole.

    The last time this obese imbecile was that slim was deep in the last fucking millennium. Which was also when it was the last time he could squat like that, useless cunt.
    If he tried to squat like that today he’d shit himself 4 times on the way down and then roll over like a hog in even more shit.

    Fuck sake, What type of bunch of fools could ever vote for this buffoon? Hang your head in shame.

    I’ve never seen Apocalypse Now, but I get the feeling Trump has never seen Apocalypse Now.

      One time there was a heat wave in my city, and I don’t have air conditioning at home. The movie theater was playing apocalypse now, I think it was the directors cut. It was 3 hours long so I bought a ticket because I wanted 3 hours of air conditioning. I had no idea what a great movie I was stumbling into! It was about war and how horrific it is.

        Going in neutral without expectations is the best way to enjoy a movie in my opinion, there’s a indie theatre near my home that mostly plays older classics from US and around the world. I’ve had my mind blown by movies that came out decades ago, good movies age very well

        We just got it on DVD. It’s the “Redux” edition. 3 hours 22 mins. It’s the 6th longest movie in our collection behind LoTR extendeds, Beh-Hur, and Lawrence of Arabia.

        What about them ? Jay “Chef” Hicks
        Lance B. Johnson
        Roxanne Sarrault

        I asked the machine, here is what it said

        Jay "Chef" Hicks	Cowardice, instability, disloyalty, inability to cope with war.
        Lance B. Johnson	Emotional detachment, negligence, descent into madness.
        Roxanne Sarrault	Colonial arrogance, moral ambiguity, emotional manipulation.
        

        I have a hard time calling them pieces of shit for that. Seems normal to me to refuse to play the game of war and recognizing military duty as the infectious spook that it is.

          “Redux” is the extended cut, which has ~45 extra minutes of stuff that was cut from the original theatrical release. Some of the scenes are great, but some could have been left on the cutting room floor. “The Final Cut” is basically the definitive extended version.

      Great War movie by the way. That guy is a surfer fanatic and basically requested a famous surfer to surf in a hot zone. Dude was crazy just waking on beach with bullets landing around him.

      Insurrection is grounds to declare martial law, remove those in power, and halt elections. He has to push hard enough to force people to fight back.

          There will be an activity called an election. It won’t be free, or fair, or allow everyone to vote. The simplest method would be restricting voting locations to those deemed ‘safe from insurrection’ aka counties that voted for Trump.

    I accidentally scheduled a vacation to Chicago during Mexican Independence Day, which apparently is a huge deal in Chicago. When I got there, the entire downtown area was completely shut down as Mexicans had been roaring up and down every street in trucks for the last two days. The Chicago PD had blockaded every exit off the highway within two miles of downtown to try and stop it. It didn’t- it just limited them to doing it on the highway breakdown lanes and the actual fucking grass medians.

    The moral of the story? If the above is what the Mexican population of Chicago does for fun, I’d dread to see what they do in the face of an actual threat.

    dude honestly thinks he is the shit. If there was ever a pit fight between world presidents, I would bet money on him losing his first fight in the first five seconds.

      No, we’re good. I know some people from the U.S., who still think nothing is wrong with the government. So we got to let the dumpster fire burn out a bit more.
