MAGAThread XVIII: The Authority Is Total

[West Leas Oros 2]

And who the fuck cares? Trump is an idiot and racist, Hollywood won't get over their guilt complex, news at 11.

And what guilt complex would that be?

Probably that they're a bunch of rich people whining about privilege, and they think giving awards to minorities will give them brownie points for being "woke".

An alarming number of them are rapists and pedophiles.

Donnie Trump continues being the Manbaby in Chief, this time bawling about how Parasite winning Best Picture butthurts him.

The American distributor of Parasite hits back hard.

Now if it had been a North Korean film it would be a different story.

Meh. These line of attacks are about as valuable as claiming he is a liar and a conman. It simply shows he is out of touch. Gone with the Wind and Sunset boulevard? Great movies for their time. Some will continue to be watched (Sunset Boulevard). Suggesting only those movies get nominations? Just shows he is simple minded which is already known.

His digs at South Korea would be more of a concern then a movie choice.

Anyway......

South Korea actually has some good films. Train to Busan comes to mind.

A Tale of Two Sisters. That movie was fucked but in a good way.

Jesus Christ, another zombie film?

Yup and it was actually good. Enough to where they are going to do a sequel.

I don’t know that one. I will check it out! Thanks

Today, we saw the ugly face of judicial partisanship in full play. Roger Stone got sentenced more time in prison than murderers get, by a judge who’s openly partisan and a jury made up of unironic Bernie Bros.

If that wasn’t bad enough, the judge barred Stone from speaking anything about this trial to anyone on any news outlet, social media platform, etc. He will be breaking the law if he tells someone to speak on his behalf as well. This judge is actively restricting his freedom of speech, all the while having a partisan trial

You keep asserting this but haven't told us which right-wing rag you heard it from.

I mean, the Defense has a role in jury selection and can easily invalidate a jury if they come across conflicts of interest, so it's remarkably convenient that Stone's defense team overlooked that every juror was a Bernie Bro and didn't make a motion to disqualify the jury or seek a retrial with a new judge.

Classic mistake, really.

[Cannot think of a name]

Since when?

<slaps head>

Sweet Jesus, I didn't think I'd need to get into a discussion of utility theory here (a problem that's going to be made ten times worse because the whole theory is somewhat flaky, largely as a consequence of the subjective nature of the concept).

<sigh>

OK, let's just keep this simple and amend the forgoing statement to read, "... people don't buy things that have no use to them", with the proviso that "having a use" includes such concepts as "it makes me smile," "I thought it was funny", "I think it's really cool," and so forth.

Does that help?

I work in the industry that makes you think that.

So, no not really.

Implying that there's no way a foreign language film could have possibly won on merit?

I mean, yikes, what a take.

Not in a Hollywood that's constantly being upbraided for being So White. *shrug* Superficially, there is an unpleasant aroma of pandering about it. But Hollywood can't do anything right in the eyes of Donald Trump, so you have to take his statements for what they're worth.

Trump can't do anything right in the eyes of Hollywood. Hollywood is full of leftists, Pro Democrats, Pro Fidel, Pro Raúl, Pro Diaz-Canel of Cuba, Pro Chávez, Pro Maduro of Venezuela and Pro Bernie Sanders.

Hollywood could start doing right by ceasing to cover for pedophiles and rapists. I mean shit Woody Allen basically groomed his daughter-wife.

When these actors are President; then it’s time to worry. So what? they met with people the cubans don’t like. Their actions are far less then trump who continues to gush over authoritarians and uses to office for personal gain at the expense of the country.

Should the trump party cease to cover the trump and his past sexual assault charges?

Also, Trump has been in quite a few movies and produced The Apprentice for years. He is a Hollywood type.

One of the greatest pieces of wisdom from the Game of Thrones. “Everything before but; is horseshit”

The news is playing past trump quotes:

"I have great confidence in my intelligence people, but I will tell you that President Putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today.

John Bolton: Trump's Impeachment Was a Partisan Circus and My Testimony Wouldn't Have Helped Democrats

Former national security adviser John Bolton on Wednesday denounced the House’s impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump as ”grossly partisan” and said his testimony would not have changed Trump’s acquittal in the Senate, as he continued to stay quiet on the details of a yet-to-be-released book.

In his second public discussion this week, Bolton was on stage at Vanderbilt University with former national security adviser under President Barack Obama, Susan Rice, who questioned Bolton’s refusal to discuss more details while his book undergoes screening for possible classified national security details by the Trump administration. Bolton was likewise quiet on specifics from the book during a Monday speaking engagement at Duke University.

[…]
Bolton contended that the House “committed impeachment malpractice,” drawing some grumbling from the audience, saying “the process drove Republicans who might have voted for impeachment away because it was so partisan.” He also said he didn’t expect the Senate to vote against having him testify.
“People can argue about what I should have said and what I should have done,” Bolton said. “I would bet you a dollar right here and now, my testimony would have made no difference to the ultimate outcome.”

Not really. Big difference between saying something in public supposedly to help sell a book and answering questions under oath.
