I'm still laughing about that line somebody had about Roseanne being similar to rebooting the Cosby show and Cliff was gunned down by the cops.

I swear I'm not a horrible person, it's just so loving funny to picture his bullet riddled dad sweater.

But seriously, gently caress the police.

I think it’s completely insane to think pushing a gun ban in Texas will rally liberals instead of just drive single issue and moderates to vote. Like that’s just one of those things where I think people are living in a bubble if they truly believe that it’s in any way a good idea for a Texas race.

Yeah, sorry. Switched the presidents there. That'll teach me to phone post.

Wilson promised the bonuses and Hoover refused to honor it and dispersed the Bonus Army with tear gas.

Eh, that wasn't quite the case-the problem wasn't that Hoover wouldn't honor the bonuses, it was that they weren't supposed to pay out for another decade. The Bonus Army wanted the bonuses paid out now, on the completely reasonable grounds that it's hard to collect a bonus after you and your family all starved to death in the depression. Hoover responded by saying the country couldn't afford it, and then sent in MacArthur and the tanks.

The same thing happened under Roosevelt, and he responded the same way (minus the tanks). Congress eventually decided to pass a bill paying out the bonuses early, which actually passed over Roosevelt's veto.

American Presidents in movies are going to be real weird for the next few years. Remember how they got a lot dumber and manipulated when W was in office and suddenly got both darker and more competent when Obama was in office?

On the one hand, the American President in Read Or Die/Dream/The TV.

On the other hand, President David Palmer in 24.

Also Dennis Haysbert and Louis Gosset Jr. But prior to that, it was basically a way to get a cheap pop and show that the setting was in the near future. It was also popular in the 90's and aughts to get the same effect if the president wouldn't appear on screen by tossing in a "Madam President" or giving them a Hispanic last name.

Before obama, Black president was like profitable fusion power in that it was always just ten years away.

Well saying “the black president got killed cause some white dude orchestrated it” isn’t exactly better. In fact that’s pretty much what happens now

To be clear I’m not mocking you. Simply pointing out that in American media, minorities being killed on the reg shouldn’t be a surprise

To be very, very fair here, to avoid getting a very uncomfortable secret service visit, you'd want to make sure that your fictional president is as different as possible from the real deal, and doesn't resemble him in any way. So, simplest way to accomplish that is to just make them a different race, or gender. Weirdly, no-one ever does both.

Why do you think that the MCU and the Arrowverse had a fictional white president for dangerous situations, when they also kept showing that Obama was the actual president when he was not dying or in danger? Luke Cage, the Runaways, the Legends, Arrow, they all talk about Obama all the time, but when a limo needs to get blown up, or the Mandarin is about to burn the president to death, white as milk.

I wonder how NK would deal with tourists visiting during the Olympics. They can't just gulag / murder people who show up with messages that are normally disallowed.

If you're, say, a Swede visiting during the Olympics and you casually leave thumb drives full of forbidden newspapers, films, etc., what would they do? Normally you'd be dragged off to jail probably never to emerge, but arresting and even merely deporting someone would be a bad look during the Olympics.

They kinda do that about everything with comics. Whatever the comic is about right that second is whatever crazy thing the comics thought up but anything "off camera" is alway just our world no matter what. Any story about a president will always have some crazy comics president but then an issue later where it's not about prez the teen president or whatever it'll just go back to the default of "it's the same as real earth".

I don't think it's about protecting from secret service, it's more that any time anything is the focus of a story it'll be the comic's ideas but then anything happening on the side is just the default assumed universe of the real world. comics don't want to be a 100 year hypothetical world building on themselves too much and just want everything but the 'on screen' stuff constantly revert back to present day, present time. If a story needs everyone to own crazy space phones aliens made to enslave everyone everyone will have that, but once that story is over the comics don't bother to keep that, they just draw iphones again.
