Trump Derangement Syndrome - Orange man bad. Read the OP! (ᴛʜɪs ᴛʜʀᴇᴀᴅ ɪs ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴋɪᴡɪ ғᴀʀᴍs ʀᴇᴠɪᴇᴡs ɴᴏᴡ) 🗿🗿🗿🗿

See, that's one of the things about running mates, and I feel like the biggest reason we see former VP's rarely succeeding in running for president. You choose someone that's just bad enough of a candidate that people will fear that person having their finger on the button. I mean Dan Quayle? Al Gore? Creepy Uncle Joe Biden?

What these people are is an insurance policy. It might give the potential, ostensibly principled assassin or impeacher pause to think of how much more fucked they and their Antifa buddies might be under Pence's administration, or how laughably incompetent Joe Biden would be when that gibbering buffoon was given executive privilege.

The thing that strikes me about Pence is- honestly, he's a boring, stodgy religious right kind of guy. He probably thinks NCIS is a great and entertaining show. And all that's perfectly fine. Do I want him to have supreme executive power? No. That would probably be disastrous. But I think as VP he's a good, mature-acting foil to Trump's firebrand persona.

Exactly. All Trump had to do to get assassinated on his inauguration day is have Mattis as his VP.

Newzoids writers and Spitting Image's were one and the same. They did a pretty good run up of the Labour folks too.

They did state when they were getting ready for Newzoids how hard it was to satirise the current political climate.

The Ed Miliband stuff and The Corbynator was good, yes. But I still feel they're railing on the Tories a bit more. I guess it's because they're actually doing shit. Especially as it's shit they don't like.

All I know is that Richard Osman puppet needs to fuck off as that 'joke' is fucking crap and I want to savagely beat whoever thought that travesty was funny in the first place.

The devotion to Mattis among the Marines I know is second only to Chesty Puller.

Hell, most military love Mattis. He's a guy who still changes out of his suit and has a beer after the work days done.

For as much shit as the left gives Pence, I don't think I've ever seen him give any shit back. Either he's a) not the maniacal electrocutor of teh gheyz they claim he is and is a chill, well-adjusted guy with some possibly unsympathetic views and legislation to his name or b) he's charging up a limit break.

I'll leave it up to you to decide, fellow Kiwis.

He doesn't need to do anything, he has Trump to do all the needling for him. It's basically the ideal situation for a mainstream Republican like Pence... he hitches a ride on Trump's coattails into the White House, and like 90% plays at the standard expectation of Republicans (constantly turning the other cheek, laying low, not rocking the boat), but he gets to let Trump rip into all the bullshit that gets aimed at them both.

The Romans considered actors to be on the same social level as prostitutes...They had the right idea. Because personally I can not name a single thing any actor has done to deserve having their exceptional opinions treated with the reverence so may people give said opinions.
Oh and George, buddy. Given how much you sperg over being put into a camp you would do well to remember a Democrat put you in there. Just sayin.

actors being more popular today than say philosophers & researchers reminds me what my teacher said " when sacred is fallen , people will worship the scums to fill the vacuum.

but somehow masses being fed up of degenrates pretending to be demigods showed them finger.

Always remind Takei supporters that Takei is currently in the middle of a rape accusation scandal and that it is important to "listen and believe" when it comes to all victims.

And that even an accusation means the person is guilty of something and should never be listened to again.

And that he claims the accusations are a result of Russian hackers trying to sully his name because he “speaks out” against Trump.

Guess you could also go on a rant about how the privileged Japanese have done this before in Nanjing and argue that Takei owes reparations.

 

[Kari Kamiya]

He is an actual decent human being. He might not like gays but he isn't a hateful bigot like the left wants people to beleive. He is just religous, think Ned Flanders.

Having heard him speak in person I can back this up. He came across as a genuine, honest guy, which is far more than can be said for a lot of other current politicians, left and right.

Can I also say that his wife must be a real sweetheart? She has the most genuine smile I've ever seen from any politician's wife, like she just has this air of a kind, sweet lady who bakes cookies and bread with you when you visit (and often because you just want to make it like a second home), and you just want to help with the housework and whistle happy tunes the whole time.

The only people who went up in my book recently from the Hollywood Set were Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, because they've actually put their fucking money where their mouth is on shit they felt was important and founded Thorn. An organisation I had only recently heard of despite it being 9 years old and deep into the technology sphere looking for new solutions to combat child pornography and sexual abuse of children.

Kutcher himself actually did pretty well in a statement I saw him make which a conservative leaning friend of mine sent me when youtube commenters and the usual set were telling him to "stay in his lane" when he was speaking out on issues related to Thorn and its impact.

Kutcher also falls into the same political spectrum of Elon Musk, fiscally conservative but socially liberal.

I can respect that and this is what a lot of hollywood's set are forgetting, they think they're respected and that gives them the right to dump on other people.

When I get most annoyed with actors is when they just do the shitty phone ins to look good among their friend sets and then fuck off and go do massively hypocritical things. Katy Perry is still vastly down on my shitlist for being an advocate for open borders while living in her own Hollywood walled compound with a private security team.

There are more of these than you know. You just never see them because OMG NAZI EVIL HITLER PHOBOPHOBOPHOBIC IGNORANT TOOTHLESS REDNECK SCIENCE-HATING FLYING SPAGHETTI WORSHIPPERS is used to drown them all out--and they're too busy being real to worry about whether they're getting "representation" in media.

Actually, in-universe, someone leveled pedophilia accusations against Dumbledore (canonically gay) after he died. Not directly accusing, but implying heavily. It was treated not as a serious matter, but blown off because it must, must be only slander by the Evil Bad Guys.

This sounds like Rowling still desperately trying to stay relevant rather than by the real people thing of writing more books since I don't remember that when I read the last book.

I think it was only implied in the insinuating way people do. I remember it, though I can't find a direct quote at the moment, and I disposed of my copy of the book years ago so I don't even have that.

Anyway, relying on Harry Potter for political guidance is like using a clock to figure out which way is north.

first you take away Harry pottah, next you will say sassy Beyonce gifs are also not useful in political discussion.

typical wypipo statement

That's a midwestern woman if I've ever seen one.

My personal perspective on actor opinions is this. If an actor wants to talk about acting or film making I'll listen. That's their job. It's what they know. It's when they start talking about other things that the problems start. What does Chris Evans know about Immigration? What do Robert Downey Jr. or Mark Ruffalo know about Fiscal policy? What does ScarJo know about Foreign Policy? Their certainly entitled to their opinions and I honestly wouldn't mind having a discussion with any of them but...The vast majority of Hollywood celebrities don't know jack shit about any of the stuff they sperg about and then...Well then their opinion is no more valid or invalid than Mine or Yours. Of course if celebrities just calmly and respectfully gave their opinions instead of bitching and whining and lording over everyone else because of their fame, no would one would really have a problem with them then.

The difference is that, unlike you and me, their opinion is treated by mass media as headline news.
