America was built on protest.
not protest of it own national anthem.
What’s the difference? Protest is protest.

Nah, I’m pretty sure you just crossed everything out and totally missed the point 😛
patriots don’t disrespect the national anthem.
Why not, it’s not like the anthem can be upset about it. Who is it hurting?

Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray spoke with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ® by phone Sunday evening to offer aid “as good neighbors should always do in trying times”…
DAMN.
um, no he didn’t, jeebus did
Couldn’t let it go to waste.

I am also looking for an appointment with the Doctor. The Doctor has free reign over what the subject matter of the avatar is to be.
No Pokémon, however. I generally don’t like that game and did not know that my current avatar included a character from that game.
100% Pokémon Free Guarantee
Vetoed.
Then the doctor doesn’t have free reign, does he?
I think it’s a cute picture.

There’s a lot going on in this picture, all of it’s stupid. The_Donald is an utter cesspool.
So that’s what a bunch of people whacking each other off looks like! 😉
How exactly did Arpaio succeed where Trumpy’s Hawaiian investigators failed? I presume they failed as we never heard about them ever again.
wait, it was proved that Obama’s birth certificate was a fake? I hadn’t heard this. I would think if it were actually fake and Obama wasn’t born here and was therefore ineligible to President, that it would have been a huge news story. I don’t see how I would have missed it.
Yeah, his certificate wasn’t proven fake whatsoever, but these morons are so hopelessly delusional that they really believe “Barack Hussein OSAMA was proven to be a mooslim!!!”
He said it is “absolutely feasible” that “face-to-face” visits by officers could be reserved for the “vulnerable” - giving examples as those for whom English is not a first language, the elderly and people with learning difficulties.
They’re utter morons. They are legitimately the stupidest fucking people on Earth at this point.

In Tucker “Bowtie” Carlson news, there’s this:

@TuckerCarlson: “If the [@NFL] owners are racist, why are 70% of their employees black?”

And in other news of Antifa and punching Nazis, I want to ask a couple of questions: Is it okay to be violent when protesting against white supremacists?
Only if they get violent first.
Is it okay to kill them?
Only if they kill you first.
You Millennials and your desire to butcher the English language.
There are so many other words that mean what ‘exasperated’ already means, but there aren’t any that mean what it could mean. I seek only to improve language 😉
I feel like ‘exasperated’ should mean something other than what it really means. Something like a cross between ‘exhausted’ and ‘frustrated’ or ‘agitated’.
Here’s a short 2 and a half minute Youtube video that’s relevant and informative.
This timeline shows confederate monuments are about racial conflict
For those of you that don’t want to watch (of course, some of it is meaningless without having watched the video for the full context);
This makes it pretty clear that these monuments weren’t just trying to ‘celebrate history and honor the noble Confederacy.’ They were erected to scare and intimidate black people, plain and simple.

I found this thread to be incredibly informative on the subject. All of Georgy_K_Zhukov’s posts about it are worth reading.
Very interesting read. I’m actually subbed there, but I must’ve missed that post, so I’m glad you pointed it out. There does seem to be a very clear shift from honoring fallen soldiers to wholesale romanticization of the Confederacy. Personally, I have no problem with solemnly honoring the fallen soldiers, but I think it’s wrong to try and honor the Confederacy as a whole. Whether the war was fought solely over slavery, or slavery was just one aspect of an overall disconnect between the North and the South; it can’t be denied that slavery did play a part in the war, and the Confederacy was on the wrong side of that issue.

Yeah, it is looking more and more like the confederate monuments is more about white pride and racism than honoring the past. However, I do have to wonder if part of the peak around 1910 might have anything to do with the 50th anniversary of secession and the early Civil War battles. It would not be unexpected for people to erect monuments and whatnot around the 50th anniversary of a bid event.
It’s possible, but it’s also around the time the NAACP was founded (1909). Probably has a bit to do with both.

What kind of sleeping pills?
Took 3 sleeping pills, fell asleep for 20 minutes, and woke back up. That sucks.
What good has Kathleen Kennedy done for this franchise?
Nothing. YET. But you don’t know how much “creative freedom” does she have. Don’t forget she’s working for the Mouse.
All she did was exploit fans’ nostalgia for the OT,
Just like the prequel trilogy, which was 100% George’s work.
while at the same time doubling down on not releasing them.
Does SHE have the right to release them? What if she wants to release them but the problem is either on Fox’s or Disney’s side?
Common sense should have left SW alone.
Not really. Star Wars is unfortunately (?) extremely marketable, and let’s face it, Star Wars is the reason why Disney bought Lucasfilm. They will release Star Wars stuff until they start to lose money.
Bit where are we now?
I don’t know about you, but I’m lying on my couch.
Kennedy has given us a loose remake and a fanservice-heavy spinoff.
I agree with that. While I kind of liked TFA, the only parts I liked were ripped off, I mean inspired by the original movie(s). And Rogue One was just a boring fan film with no interesting or memorable characters and one cool scene (Darth Vader).
It’s apparent she’s stifling any creativity by firing directors and keeping on hacks only because they make money.
Well she’s a producer. That’s what Hollywood producers do. They don’t usually care about artistic value, they usually do their decisions based on the highest profits.
Of the next four films coming up, only TLJ would come close to not being some reference-heavy glorified fan film (I’m not buying into the hype).
Well, TLJ is the first Star Wars movie I don’t care about, like at all. I’ve seen the first trailer and my reaction was similar to my reaction of most of current trailers, a giant “meh”, I don’t even know if some other trailers were released or what the other four movies you mentioned will be.
At least with Lucas you got fascinating failures instead of marvel-lite like today’s Star Wars movies.
Actually this is pretty interesting. I have seen TFA twice, once on the big screen and once on the BD, and I don’t plan to watch it any time soon. I’ve seen Rogue One once, I have it on BD but I never even opened it and I don’t feel the need to wtch it. However the prequels - I don’t like them but I’ve seen them many times, I watch the first 6 movies at least once a year since they started to come out on DVD in 2001(?). I didn’t realize that until now, thanks for the term “fascinating failures”, it makes sense.
By the time the Obi-wan movie comes out this franchise will have TEN mediocre installments in it!
What? There’s an Obi-wan movie planned? Why?
Because the worst disney star wars film will always be better than anything George Lucas created after 1977…that includes the franchise destroying darth father plot twist…talk about a compelling character destroyed by one plot twist
Now I’m convinced you’re trolling.
What’s the topic again?
who raped star wars more
That’s… in poor taste.
If this were to happen, I’m sure they’d be called rehashes 😛
That’s creative, and it sounds like it works. But, and I don’t mean to nitpick here, what do you imagine Anakin was going to say before he was cut off? Everything I came up with sounded kind of clunky (“How can you be on the council and not be able to use the force to it’s fullest potential?”), but if you were to cut it off after ‘you’, it leaves you more possibilities (“How can you let someone die when you have the power to save them?”, “How can you expect me to let someone die when I know I can save them?” and so on).
