Exactly. "We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful what we pretend to be." Aptly, this is from a book, Mother Night, about someone pretending to be a Nazi.

Also: Pewdiepie is a screeching moron and he's the reason I can't stand to watch 95% of let's plays. gently caress that guy.
What do you guys think about this Nazi? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0fksEpiUFk

Granted, Pewdie is a moron and I won't miss still never seeing him, but his main issues are dumb jokes and a stupid audience.

I don't think that's how you jump over a waist-high wall.
In cases like this you'll often see that the person (or animal) slipped on the ground, causing them to miss the jump, but here it appears that she did everything exactly as planned. I have no idea how that was supposed to work.

Not allegedly. Even after the insanely high taxes of his home country, his net worth is something like $50 million+.

He was born rich & moved to England to avoid paying Swedish taxes once he started youtubing. gently caress him.

It looks like they wanted to do a forward somersault over the wall but jumped way too late.

Aside from letting everyone know who the guy who holds the football is, how is it such a terrible thing to get a selfie with it? it's not just a box with a big red button on it. You still need the president to actually go through the verification process. At best stealing the football would mean America can't retaliate as quickly if there was a nuclear exchange. And if you're close enough to steal it, you';re close enough to kill the president which would probably have bigger impact with less risk to the offending country that organised it. Theoretically.

Ladbrokes are offering the current odds on Trump not lasting the year:

quote:

He may be not even a fortnight into his role as the 45th President of the United States, and our odds suggest Donald Trump might not last the year in the Oval Office.

The businessman’s Presidency has been riddled with controversy thus far, and it’s just 7/2 that Trump is replaced in the White House before 2017 is over.

Meanwhile it’s just 11/10 that Trump leaves his post via impeachment or resignation during his first term, and that price has shortened into Evens in recent weeks.

It's part of a huge number of security blunders Trump made at Mar-a-Lago, including using phone flashlights to go over sensitive intelligence documents in full view of the diners. The combined result is that he just kinda threw security out the window and had all of his rich buddies walking around classified documents lying out in the open and taking selfies with the guy holding the nuclear launch codes. It may not work if someone stole them, but stealing them would be an absolutely awful thing for our security.

I think the actual thing also contains information about secret locations of our own arsenal as well as possible plans and whatnot for targets. There's probably a bunch of information that would be...bad if it were stolen but yeah it's still probably the least of the blunders on that night.

According to what's publicly known it includes all of the pre-made strike options for the president and a list of classified sites for the President to be taken to in an emergency. Even if an enemy state couldn't actually launch nukes with the contents, it would blow the lid wide open on our nuclear capabilities and the location of a lot of secure facilities.

The difference between Bill Hicks and Pewdiepie is, as you say, both a comic and an audience that understands it as ironic and having a purpose outside of what it said. Pewdiepie essentially pulled the "it's a prank!" card, and had no actually subversive weight behind anything he did, up to and including the anti-Semitic "joke."

My money was on resignation before the term was over, but I have to admit that the escalating scandals that make it harder and harder to ignore the blatant corruption has been making me think that having him out by November was a distinct possibility. Not necessarily impeached; he could easily pull a Nixon when things get really bad. It's just that before I was figuring he'd pull a Palin and resign the office for more lucrative things once he'd looted everything he could from it and now it's a three way race between his health giving out, the Republicans realizing that if they impeach him early enough then it won't even have an effect on the mid-terms, and Trump fleeing to Russia.

Besides the stuff people already mentioned, membership at Mar-A-Lago costs $200,000. Now everyone knows that if you pay to be a membership there, you get to see the White House in action! Being able to pay for access to the President and see the executive branch play out it's role on the table in front of you is basically the thing that Trump accused Clinton of.
