I like the ‘if they showed this movie on a plane, people would still walk out’

Has anyone seen the Miss Piggy edit?

I’m actually more curious to see it now that it is getting panned. I still won’t, mind. Ugh. Well said Roger Ebert, “From Slovenian prostitute to First Lady …”

Edit
It is spectacularly tone deaf. The grift is strong.

Its supposedly the most expensive documentary ever that hasnt had any music licencing fees to account for. The majority of that cost, paid by Amazon, was a licencing fee paid to the Trumps

Bezos is a bad chicken. Got slapped down early on and since then he has been in Trump’s pocket and doing his bidding.

And given the short sighted moves on attacking highly skilled foreign students and workers, where is Sergey Brin? He is worth $250B and has massively affected the economy for millions. The next Sergey Brin won’t come through in America, given what Trump is doing. But he won’t speak up. Everyone seems scared.

Brin, Pichai, Nadella, Thiel, Musk all came through the foreign student route. Jobs was the biological son of foreign uni students.

Just to name a few

I think they had only just got over dressing up as the women characters from Coronation Street.

Weird these are “new directions” when this is what they have kept saying they were doing the entire time, and what the boot likers were parroting when defending any of these incidents.

Malicious or incompetence in not redacting this stuff properly?

Just read from somewhere that the new joke is the recently released “Melania” movie has just been nominated for best picture, best actor and best director at the FIFA academy awards.

Epstein files latest release flagging up Andrew MW antics with another Epstein-supplied Russian blonde hooker. What a sleaze.

And Trump wins them all!

Not sure if it has been verified. Some post I read stated that:

  • Seems like Howard Lutnick is also implicated …
  • Seems like DOJ missed redacting trump’s name in a few files released today, so DOJ suddenly pulled some of the files down ..

Tapper reported a spreadsheet had been taken down that was seemingly documenting reports received by a tip line full of lurid accusations in which he was named repeatedly

Would love nothing to have licknut goes down in flames TBH.

My take has been that WAY too much has been made of people who were simply “in the files”. That is who Epstein was. He was a socialite, and a philanthropist. He purposefully crafted a persona where he had this web of legitimate associations with rich and important people, and was through those that he scoped out who was amendable to the seedy and illegal shit. Many people in these files would have been in them because they legit had nothing more nefarious than raising money for a cancer charity. Also dont forget that before his second arrest the extent of his crimes were not really public with the DoJ (and maybe other parts of government?) actively helping cover that up and under play what he had been done for.

But where it gets problematic are the people who explain away their association ad then get caught lying. These releases are showing both Trump and Musk retained active associations with him far stronger than they claimed, and long after they claimed to have cut it off. And in Trump’s case, long after his private knowledge of what was going on is not credible for him to deny.
