    JUst watched it, and I am fucking stoked about what's to come. THey borrowed a lot from a few classic western scenes, and I was at half mast the entire time.

    For example:

    When Mando and the bounty bot are pinned down: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid

    Mando hops on the auto cannon and goes apeshit mowing down everyone: Wild Bunch

    Opening Bar scene: One of the Man with No Name  movies, cant remember which.

    They better include this little movie scene in a future episode.

    Two questions:

    1) is this worth watching if you've seen the star wars movies but know nothing about anything done outside of actual films and have no idea what a mandalorian is?

    At the very least, you will enjoy 35-40 minutes of a TV Star Wars show that has Carl Weathers, Nick Nolte, Horatio Sanz, and Werner Herzog.

    This tells me they can’t attack their actual testimony, so they are reduced to mocking them over stupid shit that has nothing to do with said testimony.

    Please, please, please let Trump start another rumor about withdrawing from NATO. Let's get the republicans to try and spin that decision. Heck, maybe Trump could push to get the band back together with a new Warsaw Pact. We could be their new Steve Perry, or Sammy Hagar.

    We could be their Arnel Pineda.

    Blanket labeling does no one any good.

    No, it doesn’t, but Republicans are openly saying Democrats want to take your guns, your cars, your homes, your children.    Well, maybe not the last one.  

    You know, it’s easy to blow that stuff off as just a group of people who are terrified of next year’s election, but it sure does feel like there are bigger forces at play than a simple loss of power at the voting booth.   But that leads down the conspiracy road.

    But it is crap for staying in touch for a couple of reasons.

    If you love me, you will copy and paste this post and put it in your status. 

    1. It was supposed to be there so grandma can see pictures of your kids and comment on them. Instead, it makes you and your grandma actively hate each other. In the past, you may have barely even known what each other's politics were since everyone is polite at Sunday dinner

    I used to get those “copy and paste this” requests.  20 years ago.  In email.  

    Social media makes it far easier to ignore that crap.  And yes, I know people who have shitty political opinions.  I have family in NE Texas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma, so I have a trifecta of shitty political opinions going on with much of that group.  

    I only block those whose politics spill over into comments on my posts/photos that have nothing to do with politics. And I make that very clear to family/friends. Just because we are Facebook friends/family, doesn’t mean I have to follow those who have such views, so my timeline is not full of that stuff - I can still check in around birthdays and see what their kids/grandkids are doing without looking at the rest of their stuff or outright blocking them.

    2) is Pedro Pascale playing a young Boba Fett? Looks like the same armor so if it's not the same guy is it the same race or something?

    1. Yes

    2. No.  Boba Fett was not a Mandolorian.  Pascale’s Mandalorian wouldn’t go out like a bitch in a Sarlac pit, he’d go out guns a blazin’

    I know next to nothing about the movie-making process.  That being said, wouldn't it be a tad late in the game to be doing screenings, reshoots, etc...?  The movie comes out in a little over a month.

    They've already pulled it off. The next few months are purely an exercise in futility. If there was any chance of anything but a purely party line vote in the Senate, Republicans like Graham wouldn't be acting so flippant and brash. This whole thing is purely an optics battle for about 8% of the country's hearts and minds.

    Graham and Trump do not act like confident men, who have a comfortable margin of victory.   They are angry, scared, and clearly trying to keep Rs in line.  

    If they were confident, like I said earlier, Trump would have ordered everybody around him to go testify. 

    Graham and Trump aren’t targeting Democrats when they rant, because Democrats don’t give a shit about what they have to say.  They are 100% targeting other Rs.

    This shit show cannot go on for months.  No one can take this beating.  I think the only hope is that people see what obvious hacks and dumbasses the Rs are and will vote against them purely for being idiots.

    i mean, the republicans cannot believe what they are claiming, or they are mentally deficient. they are not at all interested in the truth. this is not surprising in and of itself, i suppose - there are always going to be some zero sum partisan tomfoolery. but we have fewer john mccains and more jim jordans, and it's making the republicans completely cynical. jim jordan knows that trump fucked up. he's probably so angry because the cards he's been dealt are so fucking laughably terrible that he is forced into theater of the absurd.

    of course, he could actually have some fucking principles and call out our president for blatant corruption. but the republicans are not wired that way. even the arguments and lies they are peddling are beyond absurd.

    it's fucking maddening that they are arguing 2 + 2 = - 3. no sham, no sham, they are the sham

    On the one hand, people can be that fucking stupid.  

    On the other hand, the people claiming the GOP is thoroughly compromised have a compelling argument when you look at the Republican statements and questions today, because there’s only so much dumbassery to go around.  

    Jordan, Nunes, Radcliffe, etc. are scared. Very scared.  Something is up.

    I haven’t been able to watch much of this, but Kent and Taylor both seemed very credible when I was watching.  As expected, the GOP Congressmen were absurd.   The Democratic Congressmen were generally good on their questions, except I saw a bit from Castro and Swalwell who were ineffective and douchey.

    Even though they are Trump admin appointees, I’m all for Taylor/Kent 2020

    Fuck. NPR just screwed up the punch line from Welch. What did he say?

    Paraphrasing, Gym Jordan was ranting about the whistleblower was the one who started all of this and he wouldn't be in here to testify, and then Welch follows up with "the person who started it all, Trump, is welcome to come in here and testify!"
