It’s hard for people to conceive how monumentally stupid Donald Trump really is.
I think of it this way. He could have extorted $50 billion out of the Saudis on Inauguration Day 2017. Instead he figured that he could sell his fans NFTs.
It’s completely on brand for him to start a war
The old one you never heard of.
“Report To The Commissioner” 1970s Time Square movie about a police involved shooting leading to a hostage situation. Has one of the most hair raising chase scenes ever filmed.
“Mr. & Mrs. Smith” I get that everyone was sick of Brangelina by the time the movie came out, but it’s got enough comedy for a comedy movie, enough action for a thriller, and enough romance for a dozen rom-coms.
“Honey, please don’t undermine me in front of the hostage.”
I know a few NYC EMS EMTs. The opening, where the EMT calls the cops out for planting the gun, is always popular.

“Discover What You Are Best At” by Linda Gail. A series of self tests assess your skills and a list of jobs that use your skills.
It pointed me at a career I’d never even considered.
I always thought that I just hated working, I found out that having the right job makes all the difference.
Poul Anderson was a contemporary of Asimov. Anderson had a whole ‘future history’ about the Terran Empire.
I got kicked off Reddit for posting that punching Nazis was a good thing.
I got a great career that I never expected from reading this book.
Good luck.
More blither-blather.
You’ve gone from saying “If you want to fight, you have to be prepared to lose,” tp saying “Violence was always inevitable.”
I guess you can always win an argument if you get to change your terms from minute to minute.
It was mildly amusing, but I’m done watching you chase your own tail.
A frog is much bigger than an ant.
Both get crushed by a bulldozer.
The 0.01% are the ‘rich.’
So, no end game?
No actual plan?

If you haven’t seen it, there was a long run of Buffy comics set after the last season.
Enjoy
Like I said, I find you amusing.
You were standing on your hind legs like a little Napoleon, declaring the battle won.
Now you scurry back at my command like a desperate puppy.
I can’t wait to see what intelligent and witty response you’ll come up with.
Maybe tell me to tug my nuts for the fifth time?
Don’t have time to read the article, have time to complain about the thing.
Think about your life style choices
All stories are stupid.
It’s the writers’ job to make them interesting.
A lot of the most popular heroes are rich. Heck, Richie Rich comics were a thing for decades.
That sounds exactly like the kind of guy who loves Trump.
He wants to tell everyone else how to act while ignoring medical advice.
Sounds exactly like state ownership. You know, Communism.
“The Puppet Masters” by Robert A. Heinlein. There’s an acceptable movie version of the book. The marriage scene isn’t in the movie, though.
If you want to fight, you have to be prepared to lose.
Your words.
You are the one with the idea that it has to be a fight.
Like I said, it’s better to compromise and take small victories instead of push for a heroic resolution.
And, unless you feel like answering the question I posed* before, don’t bother to answer.
*I asked why we should do as Frederick Douglas did, supporting imperfect candidates who might be persuaded in the future, over ‘perfect’ candidates with no chance of winning?
I don’t think it’s about the age as much as it’s about being in absolute control.
Look at Stormy Daniels. He knew he could coerce her into sex because she wanted to be on his show.
He’d rather have a 40 year old he could torture than a 15 year old who’d fight back.
Similar.
Left work after the election had been called and had to travel home wondering WTF was going to happen.
And then, it got worse.
