Good piece in the NY Mag.

I think this is a fundamental reason why so many of us have been so unsettled, anxious, and near panic these past few months. It is not so much this president’s agenda. That always changes from administration to administration. It is that when the linchpin of an entire country is literally delusional, clinically deceptive, and responds to any attempt to correct the record with rage and vengeance, everyone is always on edge

On our way home from the Lego Batman movie. DH and I both commented on Batman's sociopathic billionaire behaviour at the beginning, which was quite Trumpish in mannerisms & language

We've just rewatched Attack of the Clones....

Basic premise
Some rebels want to break away from the Republic control.
They are developing an army.
Senator is being targeted for assasination.
Jedi assigned to 'protect her learn of the army development.
This allows the Senate leader to 'temporarily' gain more powers in the Senate to use the Clone Army.
Clone Army wins victory but rebels flee.
Senate Leader 'may' have set up whole thing to gain even more power after the battles.

I wonder if Trump and his team have watched it. If so, I hope they have seen the rest of them.

Who is the Emperor? Who is Jar Jar Binks?

The answer to the first may be obvious, or not...
As for Jar Jar, let's see, basic expression skills, weird mouth, weird head gear, just the wrong side of the fence. Or is that wall? :)

Pausing I sincerely hope there is LOTR video in the making.
SanFran that excerpt is spot on

I am very surprised the UK hasn't got one done by one of the TV shows.

There is one, just a few posts earlier.

Can I ask what the general view is of following SCROTUS on Twitter? I've never followed anyone, but am tempted to now. However, the thought of being able to respond to the nonsense he spouts is outweighed by not wanting to add to his followers.

Lweji · 12/02/2017 16:52

I'm not a follower. I search for him (not hard) and can reply without following.

I refuse to give him tacit agreement by following.

Anyone else wondering what that "signal" might be?? It could be anything from nuking them to inviting them for a round of golf.....

I have to admit I would love to see the thought process in North Korea.

Glorious Leader, Trump is meeting with the Japanese PM

Great, let's send him a message to remind him that NK is here.

What message?

Let's fire a missile

But we don't know how Trump will react?

Whatever, I'm in charge. Don't disagree with me.

I 'follow' him, although I prefer to think of it as monitoring, a follower is usually another term for acolyte and I am not that!

Looking at the Miller NBC interview.

He's very quick to refer to illegal immigrants who have killed, but I'd have wanted to see the journalist ask him about gun regulations.

Oh, re followingTrump on twitter - I do not. I have his twitter feed up on a separate tab, so I don't have to follow.

"Yes - so seeing as you are concerned about the safety of Americans, you'll agree with the many people who think background checks should be universal"

That's the kind of question I would ask - the 'you'll agree with the many people' question - nudging...

It's hard to answer without someone saying 'so you don't agree with the many people' who....
