Re: Now Watching...

Still watching The West Wing. Just started season 5. Love it. Very witty. It is one of the few shows that can make me laugh out loud.

Re: Movies or "the breakdown of jasper"

I watched Gran Torino last night. Hmmmmmmmm.....wasn't that impressed. Not sure if I've ever been a big Clint 'fan'. Is Million Dollar Baby any good? I haven't seen many of his movies. I liked him in The Beguiled , 70s version (the remake is terrible). Million Dollar Baby is really good. I almost d...

Re: Donald Trump running for President.

Those are all MUCH smaller margins than this time 2016. Yeah, woman. But Trump has a 52% overall approval rating (now) and is an incumbent. :noclue: Yeah man :lol: , but only with the Rasmussen poll. Seriously though, he hasn't been polling well. https://projects.economist.com/us-2020-forecast/pres...

Re: 2020 US Racial/Political Protests and Riots

Doesn't the rioting/looting essentially render the protest/message ineffective? I'd honestly like to know how "peaceful protesting" is solving any problems right now. I'm not even sure I understand what they want, half of them probably don't know, they're out there yelling Death to America? Abolish...

Re: Coronavirus

Fox News claims they have a news division (which airs during the day) and an opinion division (primetime lineup). They can ...

Re: 2020 US Racial/Political Protests and Riots

^ I get what you are saying and realize the small group of people causing trouble are hiding amongst the larger group with protesters. Let's say the protesters stay home, and as a result the rioters are forced to stay away because they have nowhere to hide. How does that solve the problem? As soon a...

If you're a "peaceful protester" taking to the streets in Portland right now, you're complicit in the riots (silence is violence, right?).
In my neck of the woods, "silence is violence" means that people need to speak out, hence peaceful protests.

Trump constantly tweets LAW & ORDER, but I haven't heard him denounce the violence of his supporters . He seems to justify it. When it was brought to his attention that many of the people in the Trump caravan came armed with paintballs, he hemmed and hawed, and said paint balls won't kill you. Then ...
