    Is Rudy G a secret double agent for the Libs? This is so bad it almost seems intentionally bad.

    Giuliani is an idiot, and always has been.  He’s the genius who came up with the brilliant strategy to reduce violent crime by cracking down on littering.

    "3. Agent for H.A.R.M.  Meet me at the judo range."

    HARM stands for "Hot and Ready, Man"...

    I don’t know why but the line that always gets me is when the sexy trainee spy chick gets scooped up by the star in an aggressive embrace, spurring her to invite him up to her apartment.  Servo then riffs: “Uh, I don’t know.  Do you have cats?”  Makes me LOL every time.  

    That episode is really underrated.  The preppy henchman sequence is fucking hilarious.

    This may be the best one, you must watch, “A Date with your Family”

    some of the lines during dinner.

    ”a violent arguement breaks out over who’s day was more pleasant”

    Definitely my favorite short.  And that line is a classic in our family.

    I also think people undersell the long term damage Trump does by flouting norms, training the populace that ignorance is a goal,  and lessening prestige of the nation.  The worst Pence would be is a guy supporting policies you oppose.   

    I’m not going to just sit here listening to this fucking elitist badmouthing ignorance.

    I'd put "The Final Sacrifice" at #1. Rowsdower is the greatest foil in the MST3K series.

    I probably mentioned this on the old site, but my son and I have a theory that The Force Awakens is a remake of The Final Sacrifice.  The plot and character similarities are too numerous and too close to ascribe to chance.

  6. We don’t have an MST3K / Rifftrax thread over here yet, do we?  Wrong!  We do now.

    What are your favorite episodes?  Here’s my list:

    MST3K

    1. Space Mutiny.  My father and his father before him... also taped wool to their faces.

    2. The Final Sacrifice.  What would coach Don Shula do?

    3. Agent for H.A.R.M.  Meet me at the judo range.

    4. Soultaker.  Bus taker!

    5. Pumaman.  Help, I’m falling at a 60 degree angle, defying the laws of physiiiiiics!

     

    Rifftrax

    1. The Guy from Harlem.  Another foreign dignitary, I presume?

    2. Samurai Cop. We now bring you an episode of “Are We an Established Gang Yet?” already in progress.

    3. Santa Claus and the Ice Cream Bunny.  I said I wanted a blonde one!  Squish.

    Any other recs?

    I’ve been working through Rifftrax episodes on Prime.  It seems like you have to wade through 9 stinkers to get to a good one, but the good ones are very, very good.

  7. The problem with catching Trump in a lie is that everyone—even his supporters—assumes he’s lying all the time.  I mean, they believe him when he lies to them.  But then when you point out that he lied, they shrug and say “That’s just Trump being Trump!”  

    It’s really fucked up.  People like that shouldn’t be allowed to tie their own shoes, much less vote.  But here we are in 2018, and those morons are running the free world... right into a ditch.

    It is almost unbelievable what a liar Trump is, only thing more incredible are the idiots that refuse to admit it.  

    The Trump White House is the CERN of psychology and sociology.  This administration is generating terabytes of unexpected data demonstrating the fundamental weirdness of the human mind.  

    The reaction to his incessant lying is one salient example of that.  Prior to Trump’s ascendency, who expected that open, obvious, and almost constant lying would be perceived as “telling it like it is?”  And that a shameless pathological liar would be viewed as more honest than others who lie only rarely and about less significant issues?  The Trump experiment has revealed a new paradox of psychology.

    "Counselor, just this morning your client said on global TV that Mr. Cohen in fact only handles a 'tiny, tiny little fraction' of his legal deals - so again, how am I to justify involving you in the process of reviewing documents with respect to an attorney who handles only a tiny fraction of your client's business?"

    “Because although Mr Cohen only handles a tiny slice of my client’s business, that tiny slice represents a substantial majority of the legal work Mr. Cohen performs.  Most of his seized files relate to my client and are protected by a privilege owned by my client.” 

    The posters I typically agree with are doing a lot of overreaching lately.  Trump is shady as fuck.  But don’t overplay your hand.

    Regarding a public tip, it could go something similar to an exercise I went through with all of this. I read the original thread about this on shaggy and just started noodling around on some stuff in terms of how I’d run questions through for this in a big data exercise. 

    Total number of people who lived in Sacto footprint, starting with immediate footprint of crimes, during period and then moved to Santa Barbara (or wherever it was) during the next crime spree. 

    +

    Filter for military, police, or security backgrounds. 

    +

    Filter for having families. 

    +

    Filter for zero prison time post whatever prop number it was. 

    +

    Filter for white males below 6’0” between 20-50 years of age in 1980.

    =

    Probably less than 50 men, all of whom could be investigated further. 

    That might sound crazy, but I’ve worked/led big data projects and dealt directly with Palantir, who works with numerous LEO agencies in Cali. That kind of query against their pools of unstructured data would probably lead to the exact hit with this guy, give or take 25-50 others on the list as well. I’m actually surprised this wasn’t the way it was resolved and handled in that manner 4-6 years ago. My guess is that Zodiac could get narrowed like this. It’s kind of scary how close that work can get now. It’s legit. 

    A group from somewhere like this or reddit could probably run a similar exercise as I just described against an unsolved case with enough facts around it to solve it, provided that one of the players had the ability to get someone at a LEO to push it through their data lake. In the future, data scientists will be more important than detectives at police departments and the FBI. That’s partly disturbing, I guess. 

    They should do this to find the Scranton Strangler.

  11. My kids are both soccer players.  So far we’ve kept them in rec leagues.  But both of them are fairly serious about the game and I think could use some more development.

    We are currently looking at Rangers, Liverpool, and Westlake.  Anyone have insight into those clubs?  We don’t want anything that is too intense, but would like to give the kids the option to compete at as high a level as they can.

    No, see, I'm full of shit, and Trump is just a passing thing.  Remain calm, all is well.

    You should read the article before proclaiming yourself Nostradamus.  It hardly concludes that’s Trumpism will survive Trump.  

    The point it makes is that the old GOP order is gone... at least for now.  And that Trump didn’t create the new order - he just tapped into a huge undercurrent within the Republican base
