I have no desire to watch some of the most privileged people in the world speak for people who live in the depths that they will never know.

Sorry for you 6. I doubt most actors come from money. Your bias against them comes from your politics and therefore you are making dump assumptions. And even if they did. What would be wrong with them voicing their displeasure.

What displeasure?

Displeasure about what?

Displeasure that the world from their PEAK isn't entirely copacetic below them?

That's the only one I can assume.

The fact that the rest of the world has to live in the shit that they lived in before they were famous, and now that they have millions their hearts bleed from their podium and they can dictate and/or sway public opinion from it?

It's kind of fucking ironic that we even have to have these conversations since I think we can both agree that the Hunger Games were pretty Double Plus Good....

At least the first 2 movies were. After that it just might as well have been a Michael Bay Transformers 4 fuckfest...

But at least the first 2 movies were on point.

CNN "today" is Donald Sutherland from the first 2 Hunger Games Movies.

Fox News used to be the biased "bad guy", but if you look at the polls, they're pretty much keeping out of it and letting it play out.

CNN constantly censors "bad" thoughts spoken out loud by Hillary and Bill and even Obama. It's like listening to Homer Simpson telling himself to NOT say what he's thinking only to exclaim "DOH!!!!" 3 seconds later when he verbalizes it.

I guaranty you that any argument you can put up for Hillary, I can show you a reason that you would agree disarms it.

It's why the DNC is scared.

The same legitimate reasons can't be put up against Trump.

I saw a 6 minute clip of Seth Meyers talking about Trump.

It was scathing. It was witty, but it was full of bullshit.

That's why he's going to die off and Jimmy Fallon will probably be doing this for the next 30 years or more.

Seth picked a side.

He all but staked his life on that side.

That's another thread, but i could easily discredit more than 75% of his joke fest that night if we broke it down.

That again comes to Your problem. You are part of the Losing side this time.

Because nobody under 25 gives a fuck about Hillary except for the most die hard Feminists.

Nobody else is going to vote. Not like they did for Obama.

And you're up against a demographic of older people who have been taxed too much with no results, who have been marginalized, who watch as 100's of thousands of Muslim refugees come pouring into our country and we're sick of it.

The polls could say that Hillary had 70% of the vote today and I wouldn't believe it.

The rare occassion she actually goes out in public, she's lucky to have 3,000 supporters. Trump regularly fills arenas that are meant for NBA games.

Instead of fighting against Trump, why don't you join me in making sure that he actually does what he says he's going to do when he gets elected.

That's something that none of our Presidents since Reagan have ever done.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Even the stoned Zombie has his moments of clarity... No offence Jack.

I've said from the beginning Trump is a superstar of stupidity.

I wish I was stoned Wish. I haven't smoked weed for a long time since it's illegal and you can't be smoking if you want to get a job. Unfortunately, I'm OCD in a way where if I'm not smoking I need to be drinking or working out 40 hours a week. Sadly, I haven't converted that into working out 40 hours a week. It's just drinking here.

So.... no offence taken.

Have you really listened to the Rallys though?

I mean both of them. Both Trump and Hillary?

I asked my 86 year old Grandmother the same question and to her knowledge, even with cable TV and 24 news networks she doesn't believe she has access to uninterrupted coverage of the Rallys.

They're amazing to listen to.

I've even been watching 1 and 2 hour long sessions in congress. I haven't watched a single minute of TV or movies in about 2 months. It's amazing how entertaining it is to watch what goes on behind the OPEN DOORS that so many people think are closed because they don't pay attention to anything but Sound Bytes.

My point is, as I think you know, I used to hate on both of them.

My mind is changed.

Call me naive, but if you watch 3 or 4 of Trumps rallies I believe your mind will be changed as well.

He doesn't speak from a teleprompter. He doesn't have notes on his podium. He gets up there and speaks for 40 minutes or more from the heart. He also quotes a ton of facts that I wouldn't remember without using some serious Memory Games. Trust me, if his facts were wrong after he said them, you would have heard about them on CNN.

He's 70 years old and sharp as a tack. He's not the racist, mysoginst idiot you might think he is if you only listen to the media talk about him and dissect only 10 seconds out of 45 full minutes of speaking from the heart.

Among his tax plan to lower income tax, he wants to bring it back to a 3 tier system we had before, instead of the 7 tier system under Obama. He wants to introduce an Above the Line Tax Deduction for Child Care, which means that before you figure in all of your other deductions for the year, you can deduct 8k or so from your combined income if it was spent on daycare for your kids.

I haven't seen it spelled out fully, but he says that even stay at home moms would be able to deduct this from the family income as well (and I assume, my stay at home dad brother would be able to as well).

He'd also cap business tax at 15% instead of the current 35% in an effort to make America affordable again and bring business back to us instead of the current trend of 10's and even 100's of thousands of jobs leaving every year.

This Effort to make America affordable again is in hopes that we bring businesses back here and with millions of more jobs there is more taxes being generated through work at lower levels.

I don't know if it's possible, but if you actually go on his website and read about his plans, they seem feesable. This plan, if it was followed for 40 years it claims, will be able to pay of the entire National Debt.

C'mon Wish. You know me. I don't buy Snake Oil.

Maybe I'm just wishing on a prayer now...?

It's not as if I was going to do it anyway.

My plan 3 weeks ago was to give serious votes all the way up to state congress and I was going to vote for Ren and Stimpy for President and VP.

We live in Indiana, so I supppose I still could do that without any negative impact. Trump will win by a landslide here without

A week ago, a panhandler in Times Square sat holding a sign, “Give me a dollar or I’ll vote for Trump,” and people laughed and reached into their pockets. His bucket overflowed. He stuffed the bills into his jacket and other panhandlers looked at him with admiration.

The panhandler knows what every New Yorker knows, which is that the biggest con job since the Trojan horse is taking place in our midst. Millions of Americans are planning to cast their votes for a man who has lived his life contrary to all of their most cherished values.

Trump’s followers out on the prairie were brought up to be wary of slick-talking New Yorkers and here they are, falling right into line behind the biggest and slickest talker ever to hit the sawdust trail. It’s going to be an education for them.

Jack - If I can withstand the video, I think you could too. Yeah, there's some gratuitous condescending pandering going on, but there is also humor. I'm glad Nathan only shows up briefly, and doesn't really say much objectionable. Kinda funny, actually.

But I get it. Joss has worn his politics on his sleeve for ever. Which is why I think Firefly is so refreshing. He gives a great ' both sides have merit ' look at some issues. But he's far less of an ' independent ' in real life. I see Joss as more in line w/ the Alliance. Making us all... better.

The internationally famous Dalai Lama does a Donald Trump impression

The Dalai Lama has been asked for his views on Donald Trump during a TV interview, with surprising results.

Speaking to Piers Morgan on ITV's Good Morning Britain, the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader said he had never met the US Republican presidential candidate, but could do an impression of him. You can see it at www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2016-37443474

I agree, Joss leans toward Alliance.
My take that I posted on Firefly fan pages that claim no politics allowed; some folks agree, some don't:

An Open Letter to Joss Whedon and Browncoat Fans:

From the BDM SERENITY,
Teacher- With all the social and medical advancements we can bring to the Independents, why would they fight so hard against us?

River- We meddle. People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run don't walk we're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome.

TEACHER (gently taking her stylus)- River, we're not telling people what to think. We're just trying to show them how. (She violently PLUNGES the stylus into the girl's forehead)

Hey Joss, you are meddling. Joss has every right to whatever political opinion he chooses. But, just because he has the right to make a political ad disguised as a Public Service Announcement, doesn’t make it right. It is not a public service to call one candidate “a racist, abusive coward who could permanently damage the fabric of our society,” while conveniently omitting the glaring character flaws and criminally investigated actions of the other candidate. THAT is no longer a PSA, it is a commercial for one candidate based on slandering the other candidate. And Joss has committed 1 million dollars to his Political Action Committee. That money used to be MY money and YOUR money; money meant to reward the creator of something cool, and hopefully to create some more cool stuff. One million bucks would probably buy a pretty cool story set in the ‘verse, wouldn’t you say? I didn’t support Firefly with my money to be squandered in the service of a political hack, all of whom are already able to weasel more than enough funds to sustain their lives in the political arena.

Just because this inflammatory political rubbish came from the creator of an Intellectual Property we are fans of, doesn’t make posting said inflammatory political rubbish any more correct than if a fellow fan posted it. And Joss, just because your political ad might be perceived as “clever” or “witty”, doesn’t guarantee it is any less fictional than your more celebrated works.
