    Do we really have to watch Nunes smear shit on the wall every day, just so Fox News has something to show on its evening propaganda run?

    This is what it looks like when you’re scared shitless and have a shaky game plan.    Their game plan consists of

    a) Keep the Trump base riled up and hopefully voting a year from now,

    b) Scare other Republicans in Congress into voting not to impeach

    c) Pray that enough non-Trumpkins actually buy into the shit that’s being smeared on the walls and don’t show up and vote for Ds next November

    He's not going to go to jail but he's also not going to go scorched earth on Trump. He'll correct his false testimony that was contradicted by others but he's still going to do his best to protect Trump. 

    He doesn’t have to go scorched earth, he just has to tell the truth.   And Trump is setting the stage for that, as he’s beginning to throw Sondland under the bus.

    But there’s a comment at the end of the descriptions that says something like ‘th is is presented as originally created and may have some culturally insensitive content.’

    When I see that notice, either I chuckle given the movie/show, or I want to watch it to see what the hell they are talking about.  Just a few of the ones I've come across.

    • Bone Bandit - 1948 - 6m - Family, Comedy, Animation: Pluto's efforts to bury the bone with Minnie are frustrated by his allergy to goldenrod, and by a gopher who is after Pluto's bone.  This program is presented as originally created.  It may contain outdated cultural depictions.
    • Mickey Down Under - 1948 - 6m - Family, Comedy, Animation: Mickey and Pluto are exploring in Australia.  When Mickey throws a boomerang, it gets caught in the mouth of a boonga.  While Mickey tries to get it out, Pluto is chased around by a dingo.  This program is presented as originally created.  It may contain outdated cultural depictions.
    • Spin and Marty: 1955 - 1 Season - Western Coming of Age, Family, Buddy: The 'Adventures of Spin and Marty' centers around a summer camp with a western theme at Triple R Ranch.  Spin is a regular at the camp, who loves the outdoors and is popular with the older female ranch visitors.  Marty is a spoiled rich boy who's never ridden a horse before, and has never been ridden himself.  The boys go on trips and compete in rodeos and learn what it's like to go up against cougars day-after-day during an eventful summer.  This program is presented as originally created.  It may contain outdated cultural depictions.
    • Davy Crockett and the River Pirates: 1956 - 1h 21m - Historical, Romantic, Family, Action-Adventure: It's a rip-roaring adventure for Davy Crockett - "King of the Wild Frontier" - and his trusty companion George as they share the risks, share a bed, and fight off bandits that are interested in more than their fur pelts.  After a boat captain challenges them to a race down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, the two gather a team to ensure their victory.  A win lands them a free ride upriver, but the adventurers have no idea what's ahead - buggery!  This program is presented as originally created.  It may contain outdated cultural depictions.
    • Goofy: How to Fish: 1942 - 7m - Sports, Family, Comedy, Kids, Animation:  Goofy's demonstration of fishing is fouled up by his clumsy casting and fly fishing, and problems with his boat.  This program is presented as originally created.  It may contain outdated cultural depictions.
    • Mickey Mouse: Hawaiian Wedding - 1937 - 8m - Family, Comedy, Animation: Mickey and the gang experience Hawaii through hula dancing and the beach.  This program is presented as originally created.  It may contain outdated cultural depictions.
    • Darby O'Gill and the Little People: 1959 - 1h 30m - Romance, Family, Fantasy: A frisky old bog jumper named Darby O'Gill is desperately seeking the proverbial pot of gold.  There's just one tiny thing standing in his way: a 21-inch leprechaun named King Brian.  To get the gold, the potato-eater must match his wits against the shrewd little carrot-topped trickster - which proves no small task, indeed!  This program is presented as originally created.  It may contain outdated cultural depictions.
    • Old Yeller: 1957 - 1h 23m - Western Drama, Family, Animals & Nature: When his younger brother adopts a frisky stray dog, 15 year-old Travis ties to shoo him away.  But Old Yeller soon proves he is anything but "yellow" when he protects the family farm and saves Travis' life.  Travis must later cure Old Yeller's rabies with a big, pointy stick.  A family classic for the ages!  This program is presented as originally created.  It may contain outdated cultural depictions.

    Wife wanted to watch some Apple stuff, so OK, will probably cancel that after a while.  And then begrudgingly I decided to go ahead and subscribe to this since there are going to be kids over this weekend (and we were going to eventually have to watch The Mandolorian anyways) and... holy shit this is a lot of stuff.  A lot of good stuff..

    Hit up the Search menu and look at all of the categories, such as Disney through the years or whatever.  There is truly a shit-ton of stuff.  And they spent a lot of time on polishing up the service, especially given that this company owns Hulu (one of the not-so-good interfaces).  All of the menus, categories, offerings, have nice graphics, the web interface is better than expected - if I come across a movie I think my son will like, I can simply switch profiles, and the movie will still be front-and-center, and I can just add it to his, and then click my profile and switch back to where I was.

    No doubt about this. 

    I’m laying 50/50 odds on taking the fifth. With the under throwing trump under the bus, and the least likely scenario, he moons the cameras. 

    Can he even do  that at this point?   And what if they decide to nail him for perjury as a result - bet he’d correct himself/roll real fucking fast if he’s facing jail time.

    Nothing will bring about Trump's removal. The Senate is going to protect him. If you come at the king, you'd best not miss, and Sondland flipping on Trump would be guaranteed to miss. Then he'd be a Republican outcast with the most powerful man in the world out for vengeance against him. 

    Sondland is not going to go to jail for Trump.  He’s in his 60s and a millionaires many times over.   He will turn on Trump to cover his own ass in a heartbeat.

    Again, specifically talking about these bullshit rumors you posted about test screenings that no one else is running with except for some douche on YouTube who does videos in a mask.

    I am 100% certain that if ROS is 180 minutes, you could grab 4 episodes of the Mandalorian, and those 150 minutes or so of The Mandalorian will be better.

    I said that a couple of weeks ago, and yet here we are.  The guy hasn't been on the up and up.  Makes me think Trump has something on him.

    The fact that he's already wealthy should be more incentive to just do the right thing and create an amazing legacy for yourself. I mean just imagine how history will remember him if he were to flip and provide information that led to Trump's removal. This has to be an enticing proposal right? Or is it better to remain loyal to a man he met 2 years ago. A man that would sell him out for a handful of Big Mac coupons. 

    This seems like an easy decision to me.

    Whether he fudged/left out stuff, the point is that he testified and against Trump's orders, just as Kent and Taylor were ordered not to testify, and still showed up.

    That wealth of his can buy some good legal counsel, and that dude has no intention of stepping foot in jail or jeopardizing his wealth over Trump.

    Especially when somebody like him knows that Trump would turn on him in a heartbeat if it helped Trump.

    Can I get a line on him not testifying in an impeachment inquiry in uniform?

    He'll be in uniform - there was a reason why he showed up in uniform before, and a big chunk of that is the fact that his position with the NSC, and his current position, is that of a uniformed member of the US military.

    Plus he's a sharp guy, and he saw how the Republicans acted towards Kent and Taylor.  He knows some of them might not act like complete dipshits towards a uniformed, decorated active-duty member of the military who was listening to the actual fucking phone call.

    What is stopping Sondland from flipping and becoming a hero for eternity? Does he not see the legacy opportunity in front of him?

    Sondland is rich, and if he were going to go all in on defending Trump, he would never have testified in the first place.  Given his age and wealth, I’m willing to bet that he intends on remaining free and wealthy.

    I didn’t even think about baby Green age but I just read a theory...

    If he’s 50 and it’s 5 years after RotJ, that would make Vader roughly 50 years old as well...

    The whole Darth Plagueis manipulating the force to attempt to create Anakin as the chosen one for his Sith use... could the force have also created Baby Green in that event?!?
     

    It’s like poetry, it rhymes.

    Well, the problem there, and I admit it's a rather arcane point of law, but anyway, the problem there is that she would have had to commit a crime.

    That and he would be locking up one of his main talking points, and he can't do that, otherwise that's a few minutes of speaking time that he would have to fill.

  13. When I hear about Trump whining about the press and how they treat him unfairly, I'll be reminded of the fact that the very same media he's complaining about are giving Miller a pass, because in a normal world, reporters would be hounding Trump and his press secretary about this nonstop, and Democrats would be howling about it from the rooftops.

    Yeah, I get that we are in the midst of impeachment hearings, but somehow the media was able to handle simultaneous stories in the past, such as the Vietnam War and the Apollo landings.

    Yeah, while he may have put the Boba Fett-looking guy in as an in-joke for the fans, Filoni didn't put super battle droids and a droid gunship in there killing Pascalorian's parents for shits and giggles.

    And based on the trailer, Ugnolte becomes his sidekick.  I remember ugnaughts somewhere in one of the animated series.

    2. Nice catch if you are a Star Wars nerd, or lucky answer if you aren’t.

    In Canon Jango Fett was supposedly not a true Mandalorian and they claim he isn’t from Mandalore or Concord Dawn. Even his armor isn’t Beskar, his Helmet is though, which they claim he stole. Boba being a clone of Jango, means he isn’t a real Mandalorian either. Also since his armor is Jango’s, that means only his Helmet was from Beskar.

    Either way, both claim to be Mandalorian and did continue the belief that Mandalorians were badasses despite being nearly wiped out by the empire. Well excluding those that became imperial super commandos under Gar Saxon.

     

    Star Wars nerd.

    They've laid out a framework to explore the whole Mandalorian thing, what with his flashbacks, the signet comment, the tribe comment, foundling comment, etc.

    I'm insanely curious to know more about why/how his family was wiped out by droid gunships and these guys:

    Given Filoni's work on the Clone Wars, I do not think it's random that you see them taking out his family/village/whatever.

    Why? I am actually curious, because I dont understand how any rational person could walk away from yesterday not thinking that Trump was guilty as shit. Did she not find the witnesses credible? Or was she somehow drawn to the Republicans yelling tactic? 

    Show her 5 minutes of Goldman asking questions and follow-up questions, and then show her 5 minutes of Castor reading off of his script.  Throw in some Ratcliffe as well.

    I'm not sure I was clear enough, or perhaps I am misunderstanding you. I was referring more to regions and towns as opposed to ideologies. Like someone saying that San Francisco residents are all homeless socialists or everyone from Alabama is an ignorant rube. Evil and self-serving is not unique to one municipality, but neither is good and altruistic.

    Sorry, was just commenting at a higher level on the GOP's trend of demonizing the left and certain groups.  I get what you are saying - I live in Austin, I'm used to Republicans shitting all over us.

    We'd better buckle up because they will go all-out on trying to divide us by regions, states, and towns next year.  We already know they can target down to that level, based on 2016.
