I’m very glad to see this project moving along! ST/whitecliff, thank you for sharing your extensive archive with us, it’s a real pleasure!
Trump spent much of his speech – which he gave in front of a memorial wall that honors the 117 CIA officers who have fallen in the line of duty – focusing on the size of the crowd size at his inauguration, his appearance on magazine covers and saying he “has a running war with the media.”
“Former CIA Director Brennan is deeply saddened and angered at Donald Trump’s despicable display of self-aggrandizement in front of CIA’s Memorial Wall of Agency heroes,” Nick Shapiro said in a statement. "Brennan says that Trump should be ashamed of himself."

The only reason I have any money is because I lead a very boring life.
Post screenshots of the issue. You’re using QuickTime player as your editing software?
The most concerning issue for the Trump administration is the size of the crowd at the inauguration. I don’t understand why I should care, or why the president should.

Fascinating, thread deserves a bump. I’m a bit curious though, for me, great sci-fi has always relied on good characters and themes, not science, which is more often a backdrop than anything.
I’m also a bit confused as to what this fundraiser is supposed to do, since it seems they’ll be able to complete their first episode regardless of its success.
I cringe. It’s just awkward looking at these two together.
Especially after how apparent the love the Obamas’ shared was.

Trust me. I’m, like, a smart person.
I weep for our future.
Someone could make a new thread if it’s really necessary.
If we’re going with a Christian interpretation, they did kill Jesus, which probably did them no favors.
I just can’t believe we’ve gotten to this point as a nation. It’s a dystopian nightmare, and I’m not sure when it began.
Being misunderstood by an annoying friend is annoying.
I saw Battle for Endor recently. It’s better than AOTC and ROTS, but it’s not great.
Yeah but Dems suck at midterms.
The current situation isn’t really business-as-usual, so that might change if the next couple of years are as awful as predicted. Keep in mind there are a lot of new voters who weren’t able to vote in the 2014 mid-term election who seem to be very politically-active now, and tend to vote Democrat. If that momentum lasts, then the result may surprise us.
Moreover, Brian Knight of Brown University writes about the “presidential penalty,” which has historically meant that the party of the sitting president will lose seats in the midterm elections. Pew writes that “since 1842, the President’s party has lost seats in 40 of 43 midterms–the exceptions being 1934, 1998 and 2002.” Including the 2014 midterms, that tally rises, as Democrats lost even more Senate seats.

I understand your argument, but I believe the right is going to come out as the victor in this polarized environment. They control all three branches of the federal government now, so they are in control of how our lives will be run in the next four years.
Don’t forget about midterms.
The advanced aging characteristic of this office leads me to question the validity of the “figurehead” claim. Certainly the power of the presidency has expanded and shrunk in different ways over the decades, but I highly doubt the power of the office is as frivolous as it was in, say, the majority of the 19th century.
I wouldn’t want to hear the Imperial March before its first appearance in The Empire Strikes Back.
It’s in Phantom Menace, so there’s another knock against the prequels.

Since this is is now a Q&A thread, what is a good printer for disk labels?
I’ve been happy with my Canon Pixma MX922.
Thanks for the quick response, I’ll definitely check it out.
You could make a living just selling the packaging.

Also, I have no respect for those that voted for Trump.
That’s another reason why Trump was elected.

Former President George H.W. Bush and his wife, former First Lady Barbara Bush, have both been hospitalized, his spokesman said Wednesday.
President Bush, 92, was admitted to intensive care at Houston Methodist Hospital to address “an acute respiratory problem stemming from pneumonia. Doctors performed a procedure to protect and clear his airway that required sedation,” his spokesman, >Jim McGrath, said in a statement.
Barbara Bush also was admitted to the hospital Wednesday morning as a precaution after “experiencing fatigue and coughing,” McGrath said in the same statement.
Hopefully they’re both ok.
I’ve been feeling this would happen since the start of the year, Bush 41 has been in poor health for awhile. Here’s a favorite clip from his presidency:

Yeah everyone already knows that. Are you guys trying to suggest that Fox is the reason the OOT hasn’t been released? Because boy, that’s a good one…
Think about this from a business perspective. We’ve received multiple reports that they’ve restored the OUT but there’s been no sign of a release. Why is that? Here are the two options:
- Release them now and let 20th Century profit off the work you invested into restoring them
- Wait until you’ve fully secured the rights for two-thirds of the trilogy and only split the profits for one film
Which sounds like the smarter business decision?
That makes sense, thanks for explaining it clearly without insults. But we still don’t have all the info on how that restoration was made, wouldn’t Disney have to talk to Fox to even start restoration work on the first film? Anyway this is all conjecture now.
Oh shit this is the Rogue One thread.
