Stallone wrote/directed/produced a lot of his flicks, morseso than anyone else in the American 80s pantheon.

Moreso than Woody Allen?

I hope woody allen gets a cabinet position

Lena Dunham, too. They could hang out in Comet Ping Pong and talk policy and life, that'd make a movie I'm sure

He seems less impressive than his relative, Barack.

Treeship, Friday, 16 December 2016 01:03 (seven years ago) link

Best guess: he's trying to cash in.
Second best guess: he's mentally unbalanced.

I think it's a lil bit of both.

full credit for biding his time

American action pantheon, should have specified

hopefully there's an alternative universe somewhere where a roid-fuelled woody allen spent the 80s enacting reaganite justice against terrorists in a string of highly successful action movies

I bet a lot of not-voters are having not-buyers remorse.

So just the usual insult added to injury for the thousands of Midwestern POC whose attempts to register and/or vote on the day were rebuffed.

jane burkini (suzy), Friday, 16 December 2016 13:23 (seven years ago) link

i think we all know what needs to happen to this pile of shit. not putting it here.

Supercreditor (Dr Morbius), Friday, 16 December 2016 14:08 (seven years ago) link

I agree that he needs a stern talking-to.

a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 16 December 2016 14:11 (seven years ago) link

At the very least, he needs a pie thrown in his face

zchyrs, Friday, 16 December 2016 15:03 (seven years ago) link

i agree the ghosts of past, present and future need to visit him on christmas eve to show him the error of his ways and encourage him to reform

so the reason they sat on this for a year is...

wait for it...

...they thought they were gong to win!

smdh it's like the mantra at the root of every fuckup.

AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 16 December 2016 15:13 (seven years ago) link

"They thought she was going to win, so they were willing to kick the can down the road," NBC quoted one government official familiar with the situation.

AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 16 December 2016 15:15 (seven years ago) link

Damned if you, damned if you don't tbh. If he'd brought it up he'd be 'un-presidential', meddling in the election and all right?

Le Bateau Ivre, Friday, 16 December 2016 15:24 (seven years ago) link

is "newsmax" actually a real news source?!

Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 16 December 2016 15:30 (seven years ago) link

if you really trash yr definition.

may i ask again: who read the Podesta emails and had their minds CHANGED by them? I don't think the ppl who found satanic rituals and pederasty in them count.

things the public needs to know, things they don't.

AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 16 December 2016 15:31 (seven years ago) link

The issue with the hacks and emails is that they created conditions for vague innuendo. It was a totally substance free scandal, which is why she couldn't exculpate herself. How can you prove your innocence it you never hear the charges? Xp

Treeship, Friday, 16 December 2016 15:44 (seven years ago) link

Trump could have pulled something like that off regardless, but the frequent leaks just led to a slow bleed of "scandal," even though in this case she was a victim of a crime not a perpetrator. The power of the "emails" was that no one was sure why they should be upset about them.

Treeship, Friday, 16 December 2016 15:53 (seven years ago) link

I might need to sit with that Newsmax story for a little bit and really let it sink in, but at the moment it's making me angrier than almost anything else that's happened wrt the presidential election.

I don't think it would have made much of a difference tbh

think about what you are saying

marcos, Friday, 16 December 2016 16:03 (seven years ago) link

xpost It's less about whether it would've made a difference and more about the administration making that determination themselves on our behalf.

My Lunch Is Older Than Your Lunch (Old Lunch), Friday, 16 December 2016 16:04 (seven years ago) link

marcos, fwiw, it's an NBC News story reposted by whatever the hell Newsmax is. If I get what you are saying.

the NBC News story to which it linked is real

sorry about the newmax links guys. i know in this time of fake news we can only trust certain sources

I bet Trump is asking his people if the US can just give Taiwan to China.

Man, I hope he does not start a war with China before he becomes president.

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 16 December 2016 17:13 (seven years ago) link

I have a question, does he have or is he trying to build hotels or other holdings in Mainland China?

Dalai Lama named US ambassador to China.

My Lunch Is Older Than Your Lunch (Old Lunch), Friday, 16 December 2016 17:17 (seven years ago) link

That second one seems a lot less consequential. Just some sort of aquatic science thing. Reportedly.

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 16 December 2016 17:19 (seven years ago) link

And this is only a month since the election... great.

jmm, Friday, 16 December 2016 17:20 (seven years ago) link

I have a feeling in years back we will look at Russian interference in the election the same way we look at the Supreme Court case that gave us George Bush.

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 16 December 2016 17:23 (seven years ago) link

Speaking of the Supreme Court, who is the worst possible choice Trump could make? Because we will probably get that person.

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 16 December 2016 17:28 (seven years ago) link

o btw I'm finding postmortems quite unpleasant now rn, but for people whose alternative vision of history suggests that HRC ran a campaign of "vote for me instead of the BAD MAN," please see this Vox piece.

The issue she talked about more than any other was jobs.
