  1. It’s one of those things you never knew you needed until you actually saw him throwing Jawas off the sandcrawler, or straight-up disintegrating them     You’re kinda of shocked, but then you see what complete dicks they are, and you’re like “fuck yeah, roast them, do it!”

    So if 11 or 12 Jawas can take him out, and he’s comfortable facing 4 stormtroopers....3-4-ish Jawas = 1 stormtrooper?  I’m not sure on the math though, but I’m fudging it in the direction of the Jawas.  

    Favreau is an amazing writer.   I want to go back and watch Swingers sometime.   There was little dialogue in this episode, only one human, a lot of comedy, and plenty of tense moments.   And the Jawas pelting the shit out of him with junk was a nice touch.   And they made it clear that baby yoda was not a one-off fan service thing.  

    We better get more IG.  And Ugnolte.

    i have spoken.

  2. Wow, reading Holmes' statement.  

    I finally feel like the dam is starting to crumble.  It was springing leaks all over the place with all of these folks testifying, but Holmes coming forward like that, that's going to actually force Sondland to shit or get off the pot.

    So two days into the impeachment hearings we have Trump live tweeting a witness and these gems.  At some point, this shit has to matter to Trump's base a little.

    This is not about Trump's base.  Trump's base couldn't keep Barrack Hussein Obama, a Muslim, Atheist, Marxist, Socialist, Communist, Chicagoan, Hawaiian, homosexual, bi-sexual Kenyan from Indonesia, out of the White House.  Twice.  Trump's base couldn't win him the popular vote in 2016.  Trump's base couldn't stop the Dems from flipping some states and taking the House in 2018.  We've already seen plenty of races won by Democrats, where the Republican candidate was personally endorsed and supported by Trump, where Trump even campaigned locally for said candidate, and Trumpkins couldn't get that candidate over the finish line.

    This is about getting people who sat on their asses in 2016, out to vote.  This is about peeling off those voters who aren't Trumpkins, but who cared less for Hillary in 2016, out to vote D next year.  This is about getting those people who came out in 2018 to flip the House and some Senate and state-wide seats, out to vote next year.

    This also about making Republicans, particularly those in the Senate, go on the record defending Trump and what he stands for, ahead of 2020's election, which, again, feeds into the above.  Every Republican who votes to support Trump during impeachment, is going to have that vote thrown in their face when they are up for re-election.  This is creating election ads for the Democrats, that plenty of Republicans don't want to see running.

    "i think he wants to say it.  i think he's pissed off he has to hide from us, i think he wants to say he made a command decision and that's the end of it."

    similar to the "just look at the tower logs", this whole episode has a few good men parallels everywhere.

    I think Trump wants to desperately say it, because he loathes the fact that all of these libtards are saying he doesn't have the right to withhold aid, to fire ambassadors, etc., etc.  It's driving him crazy that people are claiming he doesn't have the right to withhold aid to other countries, or whatever it is he's trying to do at the moment.

    I’m not Sondland, but he seems to be guy with plenty of money. So if I was, I would paying for, and huddling with, a whole bevy of first rate white shoe DC criminal lawyers as to how to handle these next steps. And I would listen to whatever the fuck it is they had to say, and act accordingly. 

    So unless we have some white shoe criminal defense DC lawyer on surly, I have no idea what to expect from the guy. 

    I expect this from the guy:

    • He's not going to do jail time to protect Trump
    • He damn sure isn't going to do jail time to protect Rudy.
    • He's 62 and very, very wealthy.  He's not going to be running for office in the future, he's not going to give a shit about Trump tweeting at him and Trump's base hating him.

    Best feeling in the world, or at least one of them.

    I vividly remember turning and whaling on the middle school bully (athlete, much bigger than me -- I just whirled around on him and started beating his ass).  The best part was during first period that day, when the principal came and pulled me out of class (having heard of the fight that happened right before school started) -- she gets me in the hall and asks "so...what happened?"  "He just kept fucking with me."  Long pause.  "Ok, go back to class."

    Fucker steered clear after that.  

    The entire Trump clan needs to be popped in the fucking face, and hard.

    You do realize that strategy has a decent chance of being successful right?

     

    For Trump skating due to the Senate Rs, sure.  

    Election in next year?  No, 2018 and this year proved that.   

    Edit: Trump’s and the Rs lack of confidence, and the amount of fear and anger they display also proves they are worried.

    Trump fan: “It’s not fair! All the facts about my guy are incriminating!”

    These guys whine that it’s not fair when the team playing their team is light years better than theirs. Fuck em. They’re fucking losers. It’s their fucking brand.

    Is it deliberate that they aren’t recruiting somebody of Goldman’s caliber?
