  1. That guy was as much of an actual Christian as I am to being the king of England. It is absolutely infuriating watching the Christo-fascists hijack Christianity and weaponized it against non-believers or other faiths. Real “Crusadish” type actions going on here.
  2. I appreciate you opening up and sharing your own personal struggle and thoughts on this. That is not easy to do so thank you.
  3. I can watch gory at times, but not always. Again I always preface my thoughts on films in that none of them will get every person to like them. We all have different tastes in film and what we enjoy. I won’t bash this film, especially because of Roman Griffin Davis being in it. He is in Jojo Rabbit as everyone here knows. That’s my favorite film of all-time. I hope he has many more roles ahead of him and that he turns into a star.
  4. I would say that at some point someone on Stephen Miller’s staff will compile a list of sites that are critical of TFG. This one will be on it and so will my favorite site that I subscribe to which is Defector. David Roth’s writing about TFG alone will get them on there. Roth is the best political writer in America and has been for a good long while. I hope more people will subscribe to them because as they grow they add more writers to the staff and give more freelance writers the chance to write for them.
  5. She’s a racist and a trash person.
  6. So I met this elderly couple. Married for 41 years and they've lived in the Los Angeles area for 50 years now. Because of this clown show that is ICE, these two people, who are retired, should just get to be enjoying their lives without worrying about ICE picking them up. The wife says they now both carry their passport with them everywhere they go in case they do get detained. This is where we are at. Elderly Hispanics who contributed good things to society (He was a welder for the last 20 working years of his life, and she just retired from WIC after 36 years.) and yet now everyday they realize they could be picked up off the street just because of how they look. For those of you that kept friends who are in the cult give them a thank you for doing this to people like the ones I met. That story got to me, and I won't forget them.
  7. Not just here. I met a couple from Ukraine a few days ago that were relocated to the San Francisco area. This is more a worldwide thing. Seeing people displaced by war and knowing what they are going through, among other things, made that movie too hard to watch. Again, it doesn't mean it's not good. I just couldn't stay to see all of it. Sometimes a movie just triggers something inside to where I just leave. This was one of those. Not the first time it's happened on a movie over the years.
  8. I saw it once. It was more than I needed to see it. Reveling in violence as a society just begets more of it. We passed that point a good while back though.
  9. The last part is probably why I left. Watching what should be fiction now possibly turning into reality kinda hits home with me. Hoffman’s kid is going to be in some really big movies. He’s not getting jobs because of his name. He’s talented.
  10. I cry no tears for the NYT. I could not possibly care any less if they ceased operations because they deserve a giant part of the blame for the last decade. Also Haberman can get thrown in the middle of the Pacific with no life raft. You got your access and you helped destroy this country because you wanted a story more than doing the right thing.
  11. I am glad to hear you have a plan. The money at that point that you’ll leave behind won’t mean much if you are facing an imminent threat to you and the life of your family. Just getting out is most important. You just rebuild from there is that is what becomes necessary. It won’t be easy, but the alternative is not fun.
  12. You’ve already been given that sign. It would be wise to have a plan that allows you to get out on short notice, even if it means leaving material possessions behind.
  13. Met a guy here today who is retired now. Had lived in Hawai'i for years but left to go back to the Mainland as he took an early retirement. He is from Jersey and is a Democrat. He lives in Hilton Head now and he said he told his neighbor after the election last year that he just killed his restaurant business with a vote for TFG. Fast forward a few months and his neighbor is complaining about rising food costs, especially fruits and vegetables. Said his neighbor told him what his margins were now (5 percent). He said if that was my margins I'm closing up shop and taking whatever money I have and just investing it before it all goes down the drain. Somehow I don't think his cult member neighbor will do that.
