Discussion: Trump, Pence Honor MLK Day With Two-Minute Visit To Memorial

A friend recommended Vice because of Bale’s performance. I had to remind her how Cheney recommended himself to dubya for Veep and later on recommended we go to war against Iraq after Saudis flew the planes into the towers. She knew it, but still came out with a recommendation. As much as I like Bale I’m no masochist

Did anyone ask noted political expect Meghan “Please don’t utter the words ‘Savings and Loan’ in my presence” McCain why her beatified daddy voted against it? I wanna see her pound the table again while Joy and Whoopi try to keep from laughing!

O I don’t think they’re nice to him. Bale said he used Satan as his model for Cheney.

Yeah, I love Bale too. But I also don’t think I could watch it. Even a dramatic portrayal of The Dark Lord is enough to make me want to puke. I also couldn’t watch more than 20 minutes of “The Social Network”, because of my undying hatred of Mark Zuckerberg.

No problem. It was on the way to their lunch spot, so dropping by was easy.

I appreciate how an actor disappears in the role and comes out as credible as someone else, and you think wow (Streep as Thatcher) but this would be too much. Then there’s dubya’s portrayal as a dumb rube which he is. There’s nothing compelling about seeing this. Not even when and if it comes to TV or streaming.

Well I really want to see Sam Rockwell as W and it’s gotten great reviews and I’d like to see it. It looks funny.

Yes, Fred and his son had a filling system coded in this way, they settled out of court for a lot money for discrimination in housing and called it a win because they didn’t have to go to court.

Unless or until it clashes with Saudi Arabia.

Mississippi and Alabaistan still celebrate Robert E Lee on this day.

Well… Donald didn’t throw the wreath out the window in a “drive by”
That’s something.
No much.
But something.

“I don’t think they recognize it still in Arizona. They maybe finally decided to but they didn’t for a long time.”

NO! We recognize it in AZ.
It took many years of trying. And, it was reversed once.
But we did prevail.
We do have an MLK Day holiday.

Trump: My bad luck, it didnt rain or snow today. I was forced to go.

That’s about a minute longer than most people will spend pissing on the Trump and Pence graves.

Who was that other fat guy with Trump and Pence???

The whole thing seemed like an afterthought really. I imagine Current Occupant saw on television earlier that people were doing “commemorative stuff” and asked staffers what would be the most effortless gesture possible.

at this moment Ann Coulter is SCREAMING at Trump for having the audacity to get out of the car.

Or the statue of himself at his presidential library.

I saw it and it was a depressing reminder for me how awful those years were. I was so wrapped up opposing the war I hadn’t fully appreciated at the time the details of how Cheney installed his own loyalists around W. One thing I took away from the film is that Rumsfeld’s position in the Nixon White House was similar to Stephen Miller’s current position is today,leading me to wonder, where will that miserable little prick be 30 years down the road after the GOP rehabilitates itself, and you know it will. Bale rocks, though, and the movie makes clear for those who haven’t thought about it much just how effectively the Koch Bros. and right wing ideologues plan and organize.
