He's had some hilarious bad luck with shows. He got cast in the ensemble and as a swing in Bonnie & Clyde, which closed due to poor sales in 4 weeks. But that's okay, because a few years later he finally got a leading Broadway role!  ....in Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark, less than a year before it closed.

Remember how the right spent eight years roundly mocking the left for allegedly believing Obama was "the messiah"? Top Israeli Rabbi Believes Trump Will Build Third Temple in Jerusalem I'll give some credit here that Freepers have strongly divided opinions on the subject rather than it being a hugbox. Lots of comments like this one: quote:He better build the gosh darn wall on our southern border first. ...that are still willing to work for him? quote:I’m sure Trump knows some excellent architects and structural engineers he can recommend. Okay this is legit funny: quote:Hope he doesn’t getting naming rights - Trumps Temple just won’t work And the crazy starts coming out: quote:That would appear to be the next step. Hahahahahahahahahahaha. quote:Well, if Trump’s going to build it, it’ll come in ahead of schedule and under budget. A Freeper with an uncommonly good grasp of scripture. This reminds me of Conservapedia's incredibly mixed message during the primaries where they literally said something like "Some could make an argument that Trump resembles the Biblical description of the Anti-Christ, but it is also possible that he will be the hero to oppose the Anti-Christ." Really, talk about damning with faint praise. quote:Yeah. A Freeper who is not keen on Jews and their role in the Jesus Trap(tm). I had to wiki the term, but it's "supersessionism", the belief that with the arrival of Jesus the Jews lost their claim to be God's Chosen, since the old covenant was dissolved and replaced with a new one. It's my vague impression that supersessionists would be Christians who aren't into the whole "gotta back Israel" thing, seeing it as unimportant to the master plan since they missed the boat anyway. quote:Uh...Christ IS “the Third Temple”, as well as the perfect Sacrifice. Oh good, the *good* kind of isolationism. quote:If he does, it should be after he wins a 50 state landslide. Because that would be sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong. Yeah, how about that? quote:All your points are noted. And it is a surprise to absolutely nobody that a Freeper is a Dispensationalist. quote:Perhaps you missed the part where Christ Himself talks about the temple being desecrated in the future tense?

I had to go do a little digging on google to make sure I was right, but there is indeed at least some faction of Christians who believe the Anti-Christ will rebuild the Third Temple. Note that the actual term "Anti-Christ" isn't used in the Bible like people use it now, the Apostle John just uses it in the general sense to refer to people who deny Jesus and God. But in popular culture or certain readings, the "Antichrist" is correlated with "The Beast" in Revelation, who is supposed to be a smooth-talking handsome stranger who beguiles the world, becomes a ruler, and fucks poo poo up. The main argument about the Antichrist/Beast/whatever being in the temple actually wasn't in Revelation like I expected, but is in 2 Thessalonians 2: quote:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Long/short there are definitely some arguments that promising to rebuild the Third Temple is creepy as hell and really not a Good Thing.

Two threads going so far, this should get pretty interesting both on Freep and in actual reality. BREAKING: Trump to sign proclamation sending National Guard to the border immediately Ambiguous "they" but doesn't sound pretty; quote:Natl Guard be heavily armed. Oh no, unarmed border crossers have a dastardly plan to get mowed down by the military. Better just buy into it and shoot them anyway I guess. quote:They WILL try to provoke an incident. I need to read some actual news, but this seems to allege it's more of the usual window-dressing, and not a bunch of guys in Humvees leveling .50-cal machineguns at hordes of invaders. quote:A SUPPORT role, not their to SECURE the border as originally announced. No different on the surface than what Bush Junior or Obama did. Even the DHS secretary confirms this a few minutes ago. Troops are not there to secure the border. Guess they better get their smiles and waves down pat as the illegals walk right on by them. Sad. I somehow feel the Posse Comitatus Act should address this somehow. I suppose you could argue that it's not a "domestic" issue and thus PCA doesn't apply, but having a bunch of armed dudes hanging out in Texas sounds a lot like "domestic". quote:If Brown refuses to Nationalize the Californio National Guard then replace those units with Marines. Oooookay? quote:If Brown refuses then deploy the Natl Guard to all southern border states EXCEPT CA. With an ROE that doesn't allow them to shoot anyone or arrest anyone? "Ready" for what? This seems like a *really* expensive way to just have a bunch of extra eyes staring at the border and ready to radio the same number of ICE/BP agents as are already out there. It would seem massively more cost-effective to just put up a few Aerostat blimps (basically stationary drones) at hot-points along the border, and military presumably has a few extra of those around. FWIW, an Aerostate blimp has a view range of 200nm, so you could cover absolutely the entire US border with 100 of them (at $8.9 million each). Though again, that just means you're *seeing* people coming across, not actually stopping them. quote:They don’t have to do much other than be there in significant numbers. Don’t underestimate the deterrent value of a fully equipped National Guard standing at the ready. Oh good, if you can just get Mexico to pay his salary (whatever happened to the claim that he'd donate his salary?) then you can count this campaign promise as Mission Accomplished. quote:You’re right; it’s over as of now. PDJT’s vow to “go nuclear” seemed to put an end to the northward march of the snakes. All he had to do was say something. I guess chuckle? What the gently caress kind of threat is an F-18 if it isn't allowed to drop 500lb bombs on border crossers? And keeping those birds in the air is *not* cheap. It's also a pretty pointless airframe to use since at the speed it travels you can barely see anything below. This is exactly why "counter-insurgency aircraft" are basically like Cessna prop-planes where they burn little fuel and fly slow so they can linger and observe the ground for hours and not just zip about it at Mach2 while squinting rapidly. quote:A rifle squad supporting each Border Patrol Officer, and Spec Ops for Intel and cross-border.

tl;dr: this is all a summary of the brutal takedown of the Left Behind series of Fundemantalist apocalypse-porn. Since more folks seem interested, and it does tie into Freep, I'll summarize briefly what Fred Clark says in his takedown of the Left Behind series. He covers almost all of three books (out of like 16), exhaustively and in detail, and I read two of the three books (and the movie) takedown in the last few days just because I enjoy it that much, and here's the key takeaways: -- Clark is beating his head against the wall because secular reviewers describe the series as a "literal interpretation of the book of Revelation". Rapture theory is most assuredly not that, because it involves taking little bits of Revelation, some Thessalonians, some of the Old Testament prophets, and cut-pasting them together in attempt to form a cogent narrative which its supporters then claim is abundantly obvious from their readings. These are also people who insist "the Bible says what it means and means what it says" but are also somehow compelled to play ransom-letter with the text to find their meaning. Further, despite claims of it being self-evident, there's an entire cottage industry of pundits all with their own interpretations, selling books, DVDs, and lecture tours around what is supposedly blindingly obvious. The book itself gets into dick-slap fights where the authors shoehorn in hits at competitors, flat-out mocking those who believe that the Tribulation's 7-year countdown starts with the Rapture, rather than with the Antichrist's peace treaty with Israel, or those damned heretics who believe the Rapture occurs after the Tribulation. Also there is a cheerful disregard for the word "literal" where they take any hint of a number "yea, for seven years" and demand it be absolutely 2,555 days, but when the book describes The Beast as having seven heads and ten horns, while *that* sir is metaphorical because it'd just be crazypants to say that the Antichrist has a lion's head instead of looking like Obama/Saddam/Pope, etc. -- The theology of the book is gruesomely terrible, and the protagonists are absolute assholes. Clark is a Christian, and counts himself Evangelical, but is appalled by the self-centered and un-Christlike behavior of the "saved" protagonists. There are numerous scenes where there's death and destruction all around, and the main characters just waltz past it on their urgent mission to do (whatever) that's vitally involved in their alleged mission, ignoring the people out actually trying to take care of the injured and dying. They hold a massive funeral for their Dispensationalist pastor, attended by hundreds, literally a week after all of Chicago was just nuked as though he's the only death anyone cares about. It's the middle of the great Tribulation where (according to the authors' theory at least) the church is supposed to rebuild itself, since the Bible implies there will still be "the Church" after the Rapture so it presumes some new conversions, and the protagonists basically skip out of every chance to actually witness to people with an incredible testimony based on according-to-Hoyle miracles people are seeing around them, just because it's inconvenient and might blow their cover. And what do the heroes do as their secret mission? One becomes the personal airline pilot for the Antichrist, and the other becomes head of the Global News Network shilling Antichrist propaganda, both cushy positions with massive salaries, condos, access to resources, and unlimited credit cards, but it's totally okay and they're not Nazi collaborators because they *really* disapprove of what he's doing and are using their access to spy on him for... (reasons) even though they don't do poo poo to actually stop him, plus what's the point of going undercover to spy on the Antichrist when all of this is fore-ordained and part of the Great Plan anyway? Incidentally, Clark likes to point out that the authors never bother mentioning Jesus' actual words about what to do when the End of the World comes, when he basically says "flee to the mountains! If you're up on your roof don't bother getting your poo poo out of the house, and if you're in the fields don't go back for your coat." The protagonists instead pretty much do the Antichrist's bidding, and when not doing that just chill out in a suburb of (recently nuked) Chicago and do scripture readings while refusing to share their findings with anybody. --Lastly, for the authors it's absolutely vital that the book be about events that could take place Any Moment Now. So they can't really predict future stuff because it shifts the timeline downrange for the Apocalypse, so as decades of books went by and the world didn't end, they had to start shoehorning in stuff that didn't exist in 1995 when they started, like people having cellular phones and internet access, because in 2002 it would be silly to not have those. In the books, given that one of the authors was a lifelong Birch Society advocate, the United Nations becomes the One World Government under the Antichrist. As Clark notes, that makes zero sense for that to happen anytime in the immediate future, and it's insane that anyone who's spent several decades of his life could imagine the UN shortly becoming the actual ruler of the planet. The UN is a bunch of squabbling diplomats who at most issue strongly worded statements or beg constituent militaries to send troops somewhere. But for The Prophecy to be accurate, in the books everyone is breathlessley following the ascension of the Romanian president to head of the UN, *literally* the week after over a billion people disappeared off the planet, because you see the head of the UN is like the Super Duper President of the whole world and not a castrated spokesman for above bickering diplomats. That leads me to the even larger point of incredibility: the authors literally treat the Rapture like no big deal, because clearly non-Christians would be totally unphased by it. Every single child under 10 or so, and every Real True Christian adult, disappears off the planet, the UN takes global power and starts nuking cities, and the net impact on suburban Chicago is literally less then you'd see for a severe snowstorm. One hero runs into a Range Rover dealership *as* Chicago is being nuked to buy a tricked-out SUV with his unlimited UN credit card, and the drat store is still open. Nobody has trouble buying groceries or getting gas, the nuking of specifically airports means they just drive to Milwaukee for all their flights from now on. When their pastor gets killed when loving Chicago is destroyed, they're still in contact with the coroner's office to make arrangements. Fundamentally (  ) the authors have a timeline allegedly spelled out in the Bible, and they'll be damned if any intervening events have any effect on that timeline, because presumably unbelievers are just going to diddy-bop along living their lives during a global apocalypse, and heaven forfend that the protagonists face any personal challenges.To build on that last point, Clark points out that by coincidence the widespread popularity of books about the Rapture/Apocalypse make the books non-credible because millions of people who aren't necessarily Real True Christians are now vaguely familiar with the general feel of those books. So if all the kids and chunk of RTC adults disappear, people would be saying "hey, this sounds a lot like that Rapture thing like I saw in Family Guy and American Dad, better start hitting the Bible!" Much less the rise of the anti-Christ, global Armageddon, etc. In actual reality, Reddit and Twitter and YouTube would be jam-packed with media saying "I didn't believe this poo poo so I didn't get Raptured, but holy poo poo current events are going right down the checklist." But in the LB world, despite the fact that even before the Rapture Russia and Ethiopia attack Israel, including dumping Russia's entire nuclear arsenal, and it's swatted away without even the tiniest damage occurring to Israel, that that alone wouldn't have literally millions of people re-examining their faith and beliefs. In summary, Left Behind is a lovely series of books that has sold something insane like 60 million copies, plus multiple movies (including one with Nicholas Cage) so this poo poo isn't just some minor trend, it's a serious current in modern Fundamentalist thought. And yet it's also a mindboggling pastiche of random Bible poo poo purporting to be literal by-the-book truth, has "saved" protagonists who are more antichristy (in the lowercase "a" sense) than Christlike and honestly horrible human beings even for nonbelievers, and takes place in a pants-on-head crazy universe so unlike our own that you can't imagine the world coming to that attitude in the next century, much less next week.

In which the undisputed head of the Executive Branch can't get said branch to do what he wants. quote:Well then run the Executive Department Mr. President. Freep hates sessions; blind pig-squirrel finds broken clock. quote:Magoo, you’ve done it again! quote:In before the Sessions bashing. Just in time for the Blue Wave and credible impeachment hearings: quote:Dear President Trump, WE EITHER HAVE TWO FBI'S AND TWO DOJ'S OR ONE OF EACH AS IT SHOULD BE. Trump, it's time to give DIRECT ORDERS for the Deep State FBI and Deep State DOJ to cough up the subpoenaed items OR ELSE THEY MUST ALL FACE IMMEDIATE ARREST. drat! quote:Succinctly put...and exactly right. Whining about your own department in public is very Obama-like. quote:That is what I think. Or if is a build up to something already planned and this is a cover. I cannot see the President being weak, this is for show. 15 months in, and Still Obama's Fault. quote:How many Trump appointees now serve in DOJ? Is it still staffed mostly by actings? Have the missing appointees been named and submitted to the Senate? If the Senate has the names, what exactly is the holdup? Keep fuckin' those goalposts: quote:
quote:"Well then run the Executive Department Mr. President." Doesn't keep him from golfing, tweeting, or immediately tweeting about a fire at his Tower. quote:It’s clear right now POTUS is under an unprecedented treasonous assault on his office. We have seen nothing like this in American history. That he is not fully staffed up is hardly due to his management style. The man gets nuclear bombs dropped on him on a near daily basis. And oh, but what great things Nunes has done with the classified material in his paws. quote:Nunes wants the docs. He has more than earned our unquestioned support. Period. Wait, so Trump is using Twitter because it somehow isn't actionable, and that's a good thing? quote:“If he directly ordered the FBI to release the information unredacted to Congress. Rino’s, Dems, and the media would start screaming Obstruction of Justice to high heavens. Doesn’t seem logical, but true.” Now That's What I Call Leadership! quote:LOL, Trump gets up to piss in the night and tweets just to poke the deep state with a stick. He’s always on the job.
