Nope... not about Trump. At least not specifically. It's all about the power elite as a group and a class.
Same old shit, different figurehead.
At the end of the movie, retired Texas Ranger Jeff Bridges has a strong suspicion that Chris Pines is the bank robber he was hunting before he retired. Chris Pines gives him a little speech on the front porch of the Pine ranch, confirming the suspicion: “I've been poor my whole life. So were my parents, their parents before them. It's like a disease… passing from generation to generation, becomes a sickness. That's what it is. Infects every person you know...but not my boys. Not anymore.”
I could explain how Chris Pines can get the money he needs to stop foreclosure on his oil producing West Texas property from the well drillers. I could give Chris Pines lessons on how to negotiate with the power elite, but it is wasted on boneheads. Pines already knew how to rob and kill bank tellers so he stayed with what he knew. He could also have done nothing, just waited for his money to run out and the bank to foreclose, but then there wouldn’t be a movie. Nobody is interested in that particularly movie about doing nothing but whining about how unfair the powerful are. It’s an on-going movie starring millions of Americans.
6stringJoker, Washington DC will not come to your rescue. The Republicans would never allow it. You don’t have to take Chris Pines’ example, either, and rob banks. Be smarter than a movie antihero. Be smarter than the typical poor person doing nothing but waiting for death. There is some middle ground between waiting for help that can never come because of Republicans and going on a bank robbery/murder rampage. I hope you are energetic enough to find that middle ground and stop blaming Democrats for not bringing another New Deal, eighty-five years after the previous New Deal. Or at least blame Republicans for no more New Deals.
We keep coming back to this....
I don't need DC to rescue me. I could get a job at WalMart part time tomorrow and work about 20 hours a week and save 1/3 of that every year now that I'm not drinking it away. I also have some plans to start doing my own thing for some more scratch.
I didn't realize until about a month or two ago when my brother called me "semi-retired" that this is actually what I am. Now that I'm nearly 8 months sober and starting to feel good and take care of myself again, I'm really starting to embrace that. I have no need for wealth. Don't want it, don't need it.
When you've got a paid for house, low property taxes, zero debt, no kid to clothe and feed and put through college and no wife spending all of your money, you can live on next to nothing. In other words... I prepared very well for the world we find ourselves in today.
I opted out.
The rich can go eat each other.

By the way, GSTRING, I predicted your response PERFECTLY
* ... and then you'll say I'm "too wordy". And then you will - as always- refuse to address the pertinent points, and respond with even more lies and even more bullshit personal attacks.*

Hitler had his brownshirts. Trump has his khaki-and-polo thugs. They worship him as much as you do.
Doesn't matter if you BELIEVE he only said it after being pressured. He said it. Far more than Obama ever did after the BLM supporting gunman shot and murdered 5 police officers in Dallas.
Did Obama ' NAME ' the organization ? Nope. He INVITED THEM OVER FOR COFFEE in the WHHITE HOUSE, because that is how the Leftist radical Obama rolls.
FUCK OFF, ASSHOLE. You've been schooled, yet again.

From Greg Palast:
A special education teacher named De’Andre Harris was beaten with metal poles and a yellow hunk of lumber by a group of white supremacists in a parking garage in Charlottesville on Saturday night.
Harris was saved when some courageous young Black men — with no weapons — ran into the underground garage and the white posse scattered. Except for one. The gunman.
He pulled out what looks to be a 9mm pistol, maybe a Glock semi-automatic, and positioned himself to fire on the rescue squad. But then he heard the click of our photographer Zach D Roberts' camera, just three feet away, and realized he was getting photographed.
Simultaneously, Roberts realized he'd left his bullet-proof vest in his car. In this strange stand-off, the camera proved mightier than the bullet: The would-be shooter figured it would be wiser to quickly conceal the weapon and flee.
The white supremacist attacks on Harris and others this weekend were not isolated incidents. They are connected to a host of ongoing structural attacks against Black people in Virginia.
We will be going back to Virginia on September 9, to the capital, Richmond, to fight for the right for Black folk to arm themselves with the one weapon these white punks fear most: the vote.

Don't feed the antifa trolls Rap.
He's a little pussy with a big mouth that hides behind a mask. Somebody will slap his bitch face in real life and knock him down a peg or two.

Your Obama comment isas stupid and wrong as it is irrelevant, so there's that. You really don't seem to have the first clue what' going on.
More fail from our openly fascist and white supremacist loser "president."
I always, only, without exception, school you.

As I have already proven in this thread, the Nazis are absolutely nothing more than terrorists and murderers, while the brave Antifa heroes SAVED LIVES.
Facts you can't refute. Kinda bugs you, doesn't it? LOL! Loser. I win, yet again.

Obama comment was and is COMPLETELY relevant, so yes, there IS that. Naming hate groups seems to only apply when there's a white guy as President, but when it's a black guy, why hell. he'll invite them over for a few cold ones and show 'em around the place. Imagine if... yeah, never mind. You're a fucking moron. Not worth my time explaining.

"Obama's comment." WTF are you even talking about? Gonna post something from Breitbart for us?
You got spanked. You support Nazis. This thread is proof. Admit it. You're on the side of fascism. Most of your sources prove it, too.
