The Speaker is powerful, but it doesn't let him call himself the boss, so he doesn't want it.

Yeah, but he'd still have a boss, and he can't handle that. He doesn't want to be the power behind the throne, he wants the throne and doesn't care whose power is behind it.

President ain't the boss of Congress, Speaker Trump is gonna spend all his time hollering about how he's the boss of the legislature and the legislature is just as big a swinging dick as the executive, some say even bigger, perhaps the biggest of the constitution's three swinging dicks

I'm coming around to the Speaker Trump expectation, it's the perfect race for him: one he can't lose. He's already lost a presidential election, he hates the idea of losing a second one... but if the GOP takes the House next year, and he decides he wants to be speaker, they're all gonna have to vote for him or get run out of the party.

Somehow I don’t think Waddler wants to go there.

Americans formerly skeptical about “fake news” have been watching the media cover for an obviously mentally-impaired President, demonize an innocent kid obviously defending himself against a mob, and so many other attempts to obfuscate reality itself to fit an agenda that looks more fake, antiquated and hackneyed every day.

If Waddler wants to demonize the kid further, he can go ahead, but the masks are literally coming off the public, and most of the public doesn’t like what it sees.

I am not a lawyer, but would that not constitute “double jeopardy”? (The Double Jeopardy Clause in the Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution prohibits anyone from being prosecuted twice for substantially the same crime.) Can a Freeper more knowledgeable than I on these matters weigh in?
This never stops the feds when they want to assuage the screaming crowd. The Semi Valley police officers who allegedly "beat" Rodney King were acquitted by a Jury all to be brought up on phony baloney Federal "civil rights" charges because the Feds didn't like the verdict.

They claim that being tried in a Federal Jurisdiction is not "double jeopardy because the original trial was in State jurisdiction and the charges are different.

"Civil Rights" violation is a catchall that means any d@mn thing the Feds want it to mean.

They claim it is a different charge in a different jurisdiction, and therefore "double jeopardy" doesn't apply.

It's bullsh*t, but they get away with it every time they do it.

In watching the videos of Mr Rittenhouse during the attack, I was really impressed with how he stayed cool and thought strategically in spite of the fact of multiple hostiles trying to kill him. He didn’t fire off a bunch of random shots. He hit his targets and nothing else. Even when he was being beaten and kicked, he didn’t fire any accidental shots.

The nearly-8-billion-dollar-a-year TSA, however....

We can gve him the benefit of the doubt and say that he supported the “BLM movement” according to what he in his young naive mind believed to be its goals and overall philosophy.

This explains how he allowed himself to get so close to the heart of darkness to risk his own death via multiple very bad actors in close succession. Though adequately armed for self-defense, must somehow, because of a perfumed or flowery conception of the nature and tactics of BLM people, have been unaware of the true nature of the danger posed by such people in real life.

So, naive then, but why still naive?

Why is he not saying, I ***supported*** BLM and had a level of trust for the people involved, but based on what I saw and experienced, I must admit I did not appreciate how deranged the actual people are who make up the “boots on the ground”, street theater troupe of BLM, and now do not want to touch them with a 99 and 1/2 foot pole!

Use the anger. Use it.
Top 10 Funniest Movies Ever (As Measured In Laughs Per Minute)

quote:

...
Here's the full Top 10:

1. Airplane! - 3 laughs/minute

2. The Hangover - 2.4 laughs/minute

3. Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! - 2.3 laughs/minute

4. Superbad - 1.9 laughs/minute

5. Borat - 1.7 laughs/minute

6. Anchorman: the Legend of Ron Burgundy - 1.6 laughs/minute

7. American Pie - 1.5 laughs/minute

8. Bridesmaids - 1.4 laughs/minute

9. Shaun of the Dead - 1.3 laughs/minute

10. Life of Brian - 1.2 laughs/minute

"Interestingly," Cowley said, "while Lovefilm members voted Life of Brian as the funniest film, our research shows that for Laughs a Minute...Airplane! beats the Monty Python epic hands-down."

Black Panther had more laughs for me than any of those movies (that I have seen anyhow, no borat, bridesmaids, superbad, american pie) and it wasn’t even trying. I must have had at least one belly laugh per minute with that piece of dog squeeze. Worst case of the emperor’s new clothes in show biz I can think of in recent years, to the point it actually got nominated for best picture. All that made it unintentionally hilarious because it was just so outrageously bad and hopelessly ridiculous.

Some more intentionally funny off beat pics would be the big lebowski, raising arizona, a christmas story, dazed and confused. Lots of classics left off the forbes list.

Yep. For me the all-time funniest movie I ever saw was blazing saddles. But then it has to do with the time it was produced and my age at the time.

THE LIFE OF BRIAN, the scene where Stan wants to become a woman named Loretta and have babies was a foretelling of today.

I got 30 days FB jail for posting it and had several other posts pulled for insulting Zuck’s trannies.

A classic! The whole laugh-a-minute thing is shot-to-pieces by movies like this!
Today’s “humor” critics wouldn’t know good humor if it slapped them in the face. A laugh a minute doesn’t mean anything. The Three Stooges were hilarious! Sure, they were violent and silly, and as a kid I laughed like crazy at their antics. As an adult, they are still just as funny, but when I think of the planning, script writing and execution that went into their films, I marvel , and that makes it even more enjoyable.
The ingenuity of the comics of the past can’t be beat by “laughs-a-minute”.
I could go on and on with this. At any rate, laughing is good for the soul…

These threads are pretty much useless.

The reason is here are a lot of Freepers who haven’t laughed since the stone age. They are simply so serious, nothing registers.

The next reason is that this includes movies made AFTER 1970. Again, a lot of Freepers haven’t set foot in a theater since the wheel was invented.

The third, and probably most important...people find different things funny. MY version of funny probably different than yours. I respect that. I would never foist my sense of humor on anyone.

If these lists could inspire “conversation” about the silly things in life, that would be fun. But instead they inspire posts that sound like my cranky old uncles sitting at the end of the bar in the local Vets club in 1982.

So, enjoy what you enjoy. If there are movies on this list that you haven’t seen...give them a watch some day instead of sitting through the daily news. I have to imagine that a bad funny movie is better than the news.

I gave $50 to a charity out of Harlem so that a couple kids could go see Black Panther and get snax and whatever.

Kinda wish I coulda been in the theater with that shittty freeper so I could invade their personal space and burp in their face. gently caress off, shitbird. That movie meant a lot to people.

Blazing Saddles is two different comedies: a 'laugh at the crude and offensive stuff' shock-comedy, and a satire about how stupid the people who like that first comedy are.

Anyone who thinks you can't making Blazing Saddles today didn't see the second one.

i guarantee that this person has never seen blazing saddles, and they especially didn't enjoy it when it first came out. you don't become a freeper if you enjoy the total deconstruction of the classic western. they will tell you the gene autry western's that blazing saddles set out to mock are the only real westerns
