    I was a kid when it was out, and it’s the first time I found a film unctuous, and I started noting product placement and so on. It ruined my childhood; this was before internet and it was advertised everywhere 24-7, signs, products, advertisements, on the news and night time shows and morning shows.







  • This alone should qualify him for impeachment, inflation is suffering for all but the most wealthy across the nation.

    Not that he will be impeached, congress is making so much money that they can’t help but “ride it out”. Easy wealth is hard for anyone to resist, could you? Seriously, we’re talking generational wealth for their entire family…

    …and that’s only what they report, there’s way more money in play than that. Even the good ones have to face “I could have enough money for me and mom dad and my kids and their kids, just a few more months and then I’ll argue for a minimum wage, maybe even a standalone bill! Just one more million…”

    All the leadership is long gone, the few decent reps are nothing more than tokens; their only purpose is idealization.



  • If you ever want to know how Trump took office, watch the Christian Broadcasting Network for an evening or check out their website.

    Millions of people believe this crap, and Baptists are a big part of CBN. I attended church for many years as a kid, and they are unbelievably bat-shit crazy. You think I’m exaggerating, but the deeper you get into the faith, the more that will be revealed to you. They have schools that teach children, colleges, and more. They also love home schooling.

    Even as church attendance falters, it’s so much more than that, and its reach is global.

    …and remember, they will work together with other sects as they must against the secular world. It’s not just Baptists, but Catholics, Protestants, Lutherans, Assembly of God… all different faces of the same beast.


  • Why wouldn’t other countries just not sanction us?

    Because the vast majority of countries are dependent on the USAs financial system, odds are very good your country is dependent on that same system in thousands of ways. Especially Europe.

    They hate America even as they depend upon it… and it’s even worse than that, as the USA is controlled by banking interests that have been around since the slavery days. Should America disappear tomorrow, another “financial center” will replace it, it’s an international web of financial interests.

    Their only goal is profit, national concerns are irrelevant to them.
