The Politics Thread

[DramatistDreamer]

 

Yeah, there were a few lines that I read from a few of the people that cause me to roll my eyes.   Also, the guy that said that he was conflicted because although he disagreed with Trump's stance on immigration, he believes Trump is a man of God .  I couldn't help but think that this guy really needed to get out of his bubble.  Trump may be a lot of things but a devout Christian is NOT one of them.  I was raised in church, have relatives who have done missionary work and I don't recognize Trump's brand of Christianity.

 One good thing about the midterms soon being over is that we will start hearing more news about the Russia investigation again. I've been missing Indictment Fridays.

I do.  It's the televangelist kind.  Where the guy on TV is getting grannies and rubes to send him their social security checks, while he buys private planes and hookers.

I've forgotten that this type of style has now permeated the pulpit.  I never expected a twenty-something year old man would be taken in by the kind of philosophy that Jimmy Swaggart promoted.

 

 

Why so expensive? Did the side-piece go on the trip too?

 

This sounds like some much needed good news.

I'm glad you posted this @Khan so I didn't have to.

The actual document, which is stored in 'the cloud' is available with a quick online search.  With each L that Trump Inc. takes, it draws even sharper focus on his haste to try to reshape the courts.

^ He really is a monster.  I can't believe we have a minimum of 2 more years of this.  Yeah, he could die, but I've never been the optimistic sort.

 

I'm headed to Temple Israel for Shabbat service tonight.  I dread it to be honest.  The people there have always welcomed me even though I'm an outsider. I hate to see them in so much pain thanks to blind hatred.

I already voted and like early voting and will never go back voting the old way.

I early voted today. I was in line for two hours, by far the longest it's ever taken. We'll see if that means something good on Tuesday.

Michael Cohen has dropped a November bomb. Thrilled to see it, although none of these revelations surprise anyone about Trump. 

I'm tempted to do it myself. 

That is a very good observation. They basically are finding things to feed their crazy. I know social media has totally changed my opinion of the American public. About half are complete imbeciles. 

[Juliajms]

Hopefully it means good things. I probably should have voted by mail, but for some reason I want to show up at the polls on election day. I don't even know why, I just feel the need to do it in person this year.

[DRW50]

 

I can understand why. Someone else who was there was saying that this is a day she'd remember forever.

Zachery Ty Bryan from Home Improvement was on Fox News earlier this year talking about conservatives in Hollywood along with Hollywood's echo chamber and celeb elitists alienating middle America.

 

He also shouted out Trump on TMZ.

[DramatistDreamer]

None of the people who run the major Hollywood studios can be called liberal by any stretch of the imagination. 

Having some vocal actors and a few directors and some writers, who also happen to be liberal doesn't constitute an entire industry being that way. The people with actual power to greenlight a movie or a series are almost always conservative and it has been this way going back to the days of MGM and Louis B. Mayer.

 

Many people look at actors and think that they run the industry.  They don't.

 

We've actually discussed this topic in the Movies and Music Thread and lately, also in the Hollywood Sexual Assault/Sexual Harassment thread in the Off-Topic Section.

 

 

 

Despite, the ruling in Georgia, I see the voter suppression handbook is still at work in some states.
