    How does the World view America these days?

    maybe back in the day, but you can tell he is considerably diminished, if you watch him from the 80's versus now.

    I dont know, check out this analysis

     

    You guys are kidding right? The way he formulates his answers/builds up sentences is as if he's suffered some kind of brain injury.
    I disagree completely. He may not be a math or science or logic genius. But don't buy the whole kool aid that he's just a dumbass who speaks off the top of his head without any ryhme or reason. We're talking about a billionaire persona whose possibly the most successful self-promoter and salesman that ever existed. Just watch The Choice for some perspective, it 's incredible. His use of 4th grade level rhetoric and the way he frames statements in certain perspectives is a tactic that works wonders for his PR. Not just for the race hes been doing it all his life, im sure his dad taught him how to make people believe his bs or buy his illusions or feed his narcisism. It's absolutely expertise propaganda rather than just babbling, and if you don't see that, i think you're missing the picture, he's sold you.

    He's definitely sold you - he's not a billionaire, he wouldn't have been successful at all without daddy's money, who wouldn't have been successful without his daddy's money, which he made running a whorehouse in Canada during the early part of the 20th century. I guess the constant is, the family is always willing to exploit others for their own gain.

     

    His grasp of economics, foreign policy and foreign trade is painful to listen to. At least the foreign trade picture he sells to the public.

    I'm talking here about an evil genius of a promoter when it comes to the masses... Remember, the masses are not intelligent like you and I. And particularly the undecided voters, of whom are likely to be swayed by charismatic salespeople. Of course he doesn't appeal to people with higher intellect lol

     

     

    Why do you call it "the masses" when it's quite literally less than 50% of the US population that is involved in the voting process?

     

    That's not even a majority.

    ehhhhhhhhhh...

     

    You & I can see right through Trump, and let's be honest - we're not da trak geniouses here, we're just normal voters. You really have to already agree with his incendiary views to be even remotely swayed by the things he says. A skilled speaker can change minds, hearts (regardless of the topic) - he doesn't have that ability, at least not to any notable degree. He's a rabble-rouser at best, and that's not much of a challenge, so long as you have enough microphones.

    He won the nomination

    How?

    Certainly not on great policy ideas

    I think he won because he was perceived as "strong"

    compared to Jeb 'sadfuck' Bush and Marco 'might be gay' Rubio

     

     

    ted cruz is definitely the gayest of all the republican candidates this cycle

    Now That Trump's President... (not any more!)

    If they had done their fucking job to begin with and offered an indictment we'd have bernie running against trump and all would be right in the world.

     

     

    The FBI can't indict anyone, that's up to a grand jury, Comey knows they have no chance of getting one because they don't have any evidence of anything illegal happening.

     

     

    I'm sure there is something illegal about having classified information on a private server.

    When owl goes into your ass- known as "owl to ass"- is when some mid-life crisis shit is going down hard in your life.  Like you'll be standing in your kitchen with your fumanchu mustache flowing in the wind, and right when you get the 7th live owl in your butt, you realize, "Fuck-- even 3 owls was too much."

     

    that sounds like the opposite of a mid-life crisis to me

     

    "mid-life sisirc"

     

    ...Made me realize that the opposite of mid-life is mid-life.

     

     

    or mid-death  :biggrin:

    Umm, she's a deeply corrupt human being

    And she and Bill belong in prison

    Bill was a war criminal, and Hillary will be too

    (But at least she won't tear down our global civilization, so Hillary it is)

     

    Let's not lose sight of morality here

    And make excuses for her

     

    war criminal?

     

    I'm not making excuses for her. I just don't find the clinton foundation stuff all that compelling. there is plenty of other shit that is.

    not all the e-mails have been read because there are several thousand, but the over under is basically the clinton's have been running one big scam (from bill clinton's campaign, to the clinton foundation to hillary's campaign). it involves lawyers, campaign managers and donors and is slightly highlighted here: http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/2016/1028/What-the-WikiLeaks-emails-say-about-the-Clintons

     

    my response to stuff like this is that:

     

    A) everyone in business flexes their muscles to make more money in semi-shady to shady ways. definitely everyone walks on the edge of breaking the law or outright breaks it. hiring and firing etc is almost always done with input from interested parties. business deals are never fair. etc. etc.

    B) it says nothing about her ability to be a good president.

     

    C) the clinton foundation actually does some good work

     

    D) this makes her no different from any other politician. certainly not any different than donald trump in this regard.

    stupid first world problems you're dealing with

    My neighbor just cut a HUGE fucking hole in my/our hedge. I'm sitting here in my morning gown staring at her through my garden door, through the new hole in the hedge. What the fuck was she thinking? It's like a meter wide.

    The chick with no nipples that keeps popping up on my Instagram feed. Maybe I'm a nippleableist.

     

    Link, pls.

     

    gown?

    Well I think what we can count on is that it will be visually masterful, as I think Prometheus falls into this category. I think that if Scott is involved in anyway then he will make sure of this. Part of the original's brilliance was the visual quality and atmosphere, so that needs to be a huge priority.

     

    I personally don't like ryan gosling that much so I am a bit disappointed although I don't know who else would be a good fit for this movie. Hopefully he does a good job at least.

     

    What really needs to happen is for them to carry an artistic vision without thinking about homage to the originally whatsoever. If fan service is paid it needs to be subtle and not overt.

     

    If it turns into some sort of deckard vs the establisment/goes back for justice against his creators story then it's going to be lame as fuck.

     

    It really needs to have a focus on existential ideas and to play with the audiences perspective of morality and humanity. if it focuses on these psychological subjects it will be very good. If it turns too bland and focuses on things like revenge and justice it will be fucking awful. 

     

    We should walk away from this questioning all of the things that we are on the precipice of experiencing now. There are very interesting and very real discussions we can have about technology, AI, ethics and morality, love, etc. that SHOULD be topics in this film.
