MAGA ❤️ assymetrical warfare. E.g., Netanyahu’s 50 to 1 ratio of dead Gazans to dead Israelis, or Putin’s ratio of 1000 to 1 kidnapped children.
So if DJT was forced into court for a week, 50 Dems must be put in prison.
I assume if the wife of a MAGAn slaps her man, she gets beaten like a piñata

Absolutely! As audiences did with Rocket in GOTG and the last 2 Avengers films.
Since Rocket won’t be in the next two Avengers films, they’ll either
1. Give Ben Rocket-like lines, which will now sound odd, or
2. Not; so Ben will blur with the other 20 characters.
Didn’t have to be this way 🤷♂️

The words “Russia,” “2016,” and “tariffs” are not on this list of DJT’s named priorities…nor anywhere on this, his official campaign site
In other words, no one voted for this.

Novel opinion: #FantasticFour needed Ben Grimm to be the movie’s Rocket (Raccoon) as he was for much of Lee-Kirby. Not so haunted yet.
We needed flashcuts of Ben at Reed and Sue’s podium jawboning or wisecracking about Reed’s latest plan (esp warps/teleportation)

Not sure why the liberal media is upset that DJT is accusing BHO of “treason.”
From what we know of Trump’s treatment of the treasonous, he’s probably getting ready to change the name of a military base to Fort Obama

Sure. True.
Also, hearing DJT say “get over it!” is like hearing Batman say “let’s kill all those kids.” It goes against everything he says and does. All DJT does is litigate the past and persecute “enemies.” Like Obama.
We’re in Trump’s ballpark now, he just doesn’t like this game

You know that scene in an action movie when the bad guy runs through the kitchen of a restaurant and pulls down all the pots and pans behind him to slow down his pursuers? We're in that part of the Trump presidency.

We never before had a President who bragged about interfering with the market. The GOP used to say the government shouldn’t pick winners and losers. Oh wait, excuse me, they’ll say that again as soon as a Dem is in the WH. My fault

So, the SDPD is punching people in the head and kneeing them in the side while they’re face down? This is ridiculous. I’m so tired of seeing videos like this of cops abusing their power.

This article overrates the # of people asking for the end of Israel, and underrates the # of people asking for Bibi to change tactics.
If, in 1970, you said you didn’t want the US to use napalm on Vietnamese, would you then logically also want the US to end?

This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode deficits
3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.
4) Repeat.

The most heartbreaking moment in pop music, because of context, is in “Woman,” when the music rises an octave as John Lennon sings,
“So let me tell you, again and again and again…I love you…now and forever, I love you, now and forever”
I break every time

After AI lets you do (non porn, non violent) videos of famous people, I assume the first such viral video will be Jeff Bridges, Jeff Daniels, Jeff Goldblum, and Jeff Probst in a restaurant kitchen saying, over and over in cuts, “Yes, Jeff!”

If you listen to any full 2 hour British-commentator-led broadcast of a football match, you WILL hear the word soccer. Just as a synonym.
So Brits don’t actually *hate* the word soccer as much as they don’t love Yankees failing to use “football” the “right” way
