What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2023)
bendejo replied to CharlieH's topic in Entertainment
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2, episode 7 This was a surprise over the past weekend, episode involves the ST-based cartoon "Lower Decks." Posting this because I think some may have missed it. -
In usual Fox fashion they snatched this and ran with it: someone made remarks about how well Blacks folks had it under slavery recently. Yeah, how come they didn't appreciate the opportunity to learn to pick cotton, and so on. So this pea-brain brings it over to the holocaust. Gutfeld is the personification of a backed-up toilet.

Check out Seth Meyers, if he ever gets back on. Political satire-wise, he's on Colbert's level. Gave up on Daily Show but started dropping in when they were shuffling hosts. Don't care for any of the Jimmys. These days I'm watching old SVUs from the first seasons. Man, they had some ugly actors in them, and they brought in models to (try to) act to balance the cast out. -
Almost as intelligent of a choice as paying $44billion for the company. Should have used a derriere for the new logo, everyone will think of him whenever they see it.

So one guy has a German Shepherd and the other has a Serbian wife. The GOP has nothing to run on other than the promise of imperial presidency: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/17/us/politics/trump-plans-2025.html And the "retribution," whatever the hell he means by it. -

European director, that makes it an art film in the US. Some Americans are suckers for anything with a European pedigree. I guess I was too for a while. Then my local art cinema hyped this French movie, which turned out to be lower valued made-for-TV tripe. That was it for me. Johnny Guitar: I've seen it a few times over the decades, each time it seems like a different movie. Recently saw this vid of Scorsese talking about it, that had an effect. -

AN Original Trump wants to execute people who engage in human trafficking.
bendejo replied to Social Media's topic in World News
For you US conservatives with short memories, recall that the GOP president previous to 45 was W, who lumped together all American men who went to places like Thailand as sex tourists and pedophiles (ok, maybe his speechwriters did). You too may find yourselves subject to what this thread is about. Guilty until proven innocent. The weirdest thing about the DT fans is they think they will be excluded from his extreme plans because they voted for him. "But I'm not a pedophile!" "Uh-huh, that's just what a pedophile would say." And then there are people who use fear of these things for their own ends: https://www.thedailybeast.com/qanon-incited-her-to-kidnap-her-son-and-then-hid-her-from-the-law -
Video of tribal women paraded naked in Manipur shocks India

This stuff has been going on a long time. When I first traveled to India in the 1970s it was near impossible to get a travel permit for that whole NE region of the country. -

Perhaps this will be his retribution for Melania, something to with how she made her way to the US and those who, umm, handled her situation. The guy has been married three times, two of those were to immigrants. Why so much time around immigrants, Mr USA Flag Kisser?- 188 replies

Does the shuttling of immigrant workers across state lines by deceptive means qualify as human trafficking? Is DeSantis or Abbott to be locked up?- 188 replies

I saw this a few nights ago. It wouldn't be too off to think Stephen King wrote this; I don't go in for this type of stuff, but found this entertaining. For us 70-ish fossils a lot of nostalgia for mid-1960s Brit-pop, like Petulia and Dusty, but of the dozen or so songs in the movie at least half of them are by performers who didn't make the Atlantic crossing back then, like Cilla Black (the title is from a song I never heard). Can't recall last time I heard the name Rita Tushingham. I believe it was Diana Rigg's last role before she died. -
Trump says he's been indicted in classified docs probe
bendejo replied to Scott's topic in World News
DT jumps in front of these things for the purpose of raising money. Expect reports of tons of MAGA donations with each announcement Smith makes. Jimmy J has only one move: when questioning someone he goes into a mile-a-minute babble screed that is impossible to follow and then ends with "so what's your answer, yes or no?" Strangely he never gets anywhere with that. But our Jimmy here is a true bully, which means he is also a coward. If the Dems were really half as weaponized as he claims, they would have gotten rid of this fake tough guy with the student sex scandal from before he entered politics. And he knows it. -
Everyone knows Biden is a 'figurehead president'
bendejo replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Everyone is saying Ingraham is a hack television personality, probably would have preferred being a soap opera actress. Olbermann used to date her. jeez! -
DT has a sense of awe regarding Woodward, it came out back when he was interviewed by him. He seems to have a fetish for influential men. How come all these anti-LGBT people don't go after T____ for exchanging "love letters" (his own words) with the guy who runs North Korea? Did the White House doctor do a rape kit on the then-president when he returned from his Helsinki meeting with Putin? He also has this deference to Turkey's Erdogan, what's up with that?

These right wingers go on about law&order, love of country, a strong defense force (FORCE!), the noble Founding Fathers etc. And without a second thought they pull stunts like this that undermine US military operations and security. If a Dem were to do stuff like this, taking sides with a foreign adversary over US defense issues, you can be damned sure guys like himself will be grandstanding and calling for inquests and shouting "Bengazi!" Special shout-out to Tucker, who supports Russia and it's allies because he is anti-Biden, and the GOP PACs holding their meetings in Hungary; what happened to "love it or leave it?"
