Random Thoughts: The Wall and AOC

certifiably insane person in 2010
“Donald Trump will be president and the number one superhero will be Aquaman!”

I make fun of Trump, but it’s good to remember we spent billions on an election in 2016 and he was the best we could find.

This is the most advanced society has ever been. It’s never been this old before.

Shouldn’t the “chickenhawk” charge now be directed at those drones that just flying around taking video instead of firing hellfire missiles at people overseas?

It seems like just a few years ago they did a comic where Aquaman was confronted with the fact that he’s kind of a joke and “no one’s favorite superhero.”

Trump sees Warren presidential announcement
“Bring it to me.”
“Are you sure?”
“Now!”
hesitantly, a man with a briefcase handcuffed to him approaches the president
he opens the case and places it on the desk
Trump’s hand slams down on a red button inside labeled “Dank Meme”

“Can you believe what Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said?”
“Yes.”
“What she said was…”
“Yep, sounds like her.”
“It was really ridiculous how…”
“I’m sure.”
“What she actually said was…”
“Very interesting!”

There are lots of idiots in safe seats in the House. Usually once or twice a year they say something dumb enough to make news. They’re not worth more attention than that.

Story-wise, I didn’t find Bandersnatch very satisfying, but it did get me obsessed with seeing what the different choices did.
Funny it was set in 1984 but what it most reminded me was of 90s CD-ROM games… but with quality acting and production values.

Before you accept the “people are outraged” premise, make them come up with at least two verifiable names.

It’s morally wrong for the government to take more than 10% of the money someone earns.
And also the 10%.

I think the best thing for the Star Wars episode IX scroll to start with would be an apology.

Even most really greedy jealous people find a 70% tax rate morally wrong.

I think the Elizabeth Warren candidacy will be very popular with progressives who secretly want Trump re-elected because they love being angry and yelling.

Going by history, people a hundred years from now will have such great technology and advantages that they’ll look back on our lives as brutish and short. And they will spend twice as much time complaining about how miserable things are.

A parent’s greatest fear is your children misbehaving in public and then overhearing someone say, “What bad children!” and then overhear Mr. Miyagi correct that person saying, “No such thing as bad children; only bad parents.”

“Cry ‘Havoc!,’ and let slip the dogs of war!”
“But they’ve surrendered.”
“In that case… let slip the dogs of peace!”
the battlefield is swarmed with pugs

Star Wars Episode IX trailer opens with Rose standing in a field
ROSE: “Hi, everybody!”
a starship crashes into her as a stunned Finn watches
FINN: “Oh no! Rose is dead!”
looks directly into camera
FINN: “Everyone is sad about this.”
winks

Reminds me that one of the things I was excited for after Force Awakens was Finn’s character arc as he didn’t have any analog in the previous trilogy, but all The Last Jedi did was pair him with Rose and send him on a completely stupid and pointless adventure.

“Master Yoda, should we really let all the ancient Jedi texts burn?”
“It is time to start anew.”
“But they mentioning seemingly important things I’ve never heard of, like ‘midichlorians.’”
“LET THAT WORD DIE WITH YOU!”

I really like 80s music. They should make more of it.

You can say the rich don’t deserve their money, but the sociopathic morons in government deserve it a million times less.

AOC is very much a Trump-era politician, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing in so much as it gets Americans to stop treating politicians in general as smart, serious people.

If I had to use one word to describe Netflix’s Bandersnatch, it would be “frumious.”

It’s at least as accurate to say liberals love anti-Semitism as it is to say conservatives were outraged by AOC dancing.

The APA says I have dangerous levels of masculinity. Everyone stay back. I could do something awesome.

A speech by Trump followed by a response by the Democrats is going to be so great and useful.
“Wall is great. Wall unstoppable. Everyone love wall.”
“Wall is bad. Walls are racist. No like wall!”

I’m not saying it can’t be good, but all the trailers so far are making me think that Captain Marvel movie is going to be a lower tier Marvel film. Nothing about it stands out.
Lower tier Marvel means entertaining but extremely forgettable. I don’t think there’s been a terrible MCU film yet.

“The Great Wall of China. Pink Floyd’s The Wall. Mark Wahlberg. There have been many tremendous walls admired by all…”
If Trump still needs a speech writer, I cost one million dollars.
“Without walls, wind would blow on us constantly. Without walls, the neighbor’s dog would be even louder. And without walls, we will be defenseless against the dreaded Mexico.”

Can’t we compromise and build a wall but then let Banksy spray paint something subversive on it — something that will make us all go, “Oh, Banksy. You’re incorrigible.”

“Now that we’ve had our revolution and got rid of all those fascist walls, it’s time to take those tyrants who were in charge and put their backs up against the… Oh no!”

Maybe RBG is staying home to start work on her 2020 presidential campaign.

The way this Twilight Zone episode ends is that as soon as Trump finishes his wall, he realizes he left his cellphone on the other side.

Wait, is this wall going to have a door? Because sometimes we need to go to Mexico for fireworks and stuff.

“You think you’re protecting yourself from Mexico, but when you build that wall, you’ll be locked in here. With us.”

    I’m not saying it can’t be good, but all the trailers so far are making me think that the 116th Congress is going to be a lower-tier Michael Moore film.
