Trump, the moron he is, probably doesn’t realize he’s proving the late pontiff’s point by posting that ridiculous AI pic. 3 Quote

Idk if it’s a Christian thing or just an ignorance thing. The old and New Testament are full of stories that are shared across faiths. The story of Krishna morphs into the story of Jesus. The Easter Egg hunt mimics Jewish Passover tradition of looking for the Afikomen and so on and so forth 2 Quote

The story of Krishna morphs into the story of Jesus. The Easter Egg hunt mimics Jewish Passover tradition of looking for the Afikomen and so on and so forth It’s not a Christian thing, it’s a flaw in all religions that some subgroups tend to exploit. At some point, religions depend on the good will of their adherents, and the expectation is control structures like rituals and holy scriptures exist for those who need the regiment rather than those who are spiritually and intellectually more advanced. It’s not ironic that Jesus became the thing he was railing against so much as inevitable. You can’t oppress humans into being good people, but the controls need to be there because humans can’t all be trusted and, eventually those controls will be exploited by the untrustworthy. 2 Quote

He’s a paranoid fuck stick He’s still ass mad over Parasite winning Best Picture. Tax incentives and the like are what’s needed, but states can do that while tariffs can be unilaterally imposed, hence his love affair with them. This may be a way to get concessions on tax benefits for studios, but he’s too stupid to do that and his advisors would need to figure that out. Edited May 5 by Jman 4 Quote

At this rate it won't be long before someone simply sneezing in another country in our general direction will be considered a national security threat, and he'll demand we build a giant sneeze guard around the entire nation.

discolé monade Posted May 5 Posted May 5 “We’re negotiating with many countries but at the end of this I’ll set my own deals because I set the deal, they don’t set the deal, I set the deal,” he told reporters Sunday. “This is not like a big deal that’s gonna be signed — in some cases we’ll sign them, but we don’t have to sign them. I’ll be setting the deal, I’ll be setting the tariff.”' and THAT's the "aRt Of ThE dEaL" 3 Quote

He just wants to inflict enough pain on it to force it to heel and accept some type of government oversight that'll no doubt be about who they can hire or imposing certain restrictions on what type of content they can include. Just another part of the never-ending, ever more ubiquitous culture war of theirs. First the Kennedy Center and the museums, then the schools, and now this. It's no secret that Hollywood has been a big driver of cultural change in this country, and to a lesser extent worldwide. Only figures that with their so called war on woke they'd eventually go after it. Edited May 5 by Dark_Cloud_Overhead Quote

It barely makes any mention of tariffs because the T word makes Trump hard.

Insipid Posted May 6 Posted May 6 (edited) I watched The Apprentice, mainly because a Japanese minister calling Trump an extortionist recommended others to watch it. The movie really shows how Trump came to be what he is now. And the interesting thing is that the film has a similar effect to The Wolf of Wall Street; scumbags will be enthralled by Trump but most people will be able to see that he's garbage.

Some of the out buildings are tear down. The main cell block is nicely restored, but it’s like really small. No amount of money could expand it enough to make the billions to expand it enough. Plus, it’s been almost thoroughly proven that at least two dudes successfully escaped. It’s not the unescapable citadel the movies portray it as. 3 Quote
