The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: ORANGE Gettin' PEACHed, Nation Goes BANANAS

I mean that’s all correct and is why I’d argue Baby Driver was 1000% more memorable than Drive, and I’m saying that despite Drive being 1000% a better movie

Sorry you weren’t cast :(

I’ve never seen Drive, but I guess I should.

I’ve had plenty of cool background roles - can’t get them all. One of my “movie set friends” was in the early scene when Baby was going for coffee, so I lived vicariously through him.

What the fuck is this shit?

The vast majority of “the evangelical voters who elected him” absolutely LOVE Miller’s nativist extremism.

In case anyone who watched Halt and Catch Fire doesn’t know, dlk9s was cast and shot as Bill Gates in one of the seasons of that show. He was actually the focal point in a shot, but alas his scenes ended up on the floor.

“On every front, the ultraleft is waging war on the values shared by everyone in this room,” Trump said. “They are trying to silence and punish the speech of Christians and religious believers of all faiths. You know it better than anyone. They are trying to use the courts to rewrite the laws, undermine democracy and force through an agenda they can’t pass at the ballot box.”

“They are trying to hound you from the workplace, expel you from the public square and weaken the American family and indoctrinate our children,” he continued. “They resent and disdain faithful Americans who hold fast to our nation’s historic values, and, if given the chance, they would use every instrument of government power, including the IRS, to try to shut you down.”

That’s some A+ projection.

This sharp turn into openly and forcefully gunning for a theocracy is absolutely frightening. I mean, it’s been there for some time, but I haven’t seen Conservatives - and the White House especially - go this hard in the paint before.

“Two Corinthians 3:17, that’s the whole ballgame. … Is that the one you like?” Trump asked.

They seem to have really difficult time understanding the first parts of the Constitution.

Almost as though Bill Gates suddenly realized he would need to preemptively limit his media exposure should that photo of him with Epstein ever come out #conspiracytheorydelight

Favorite role? In before your AMA makes Unstuck viral?

It’s the other thing that fires up his base aside from fear mongering over immigrants and gun regulations.

The thing I can’t let go is that American pop culture has become so unrelentingly hyper-violent that we accept a mass shooting in a church as a bit of happy fun movie magic, but when it’s transposed to a political ad then it is somehow grotesque and horrible and beyond the pale. There’s a disconnect here.

Just remember, this is all just a matter of perspective depending on which canon your mind is in. Bolton is only a super evil character on The West Wing. He’s one of the good guys in A Clockwork Orange.
