You all saw how Republican idiots reacted to Trump declaring war on the NFL: they burned their season tickets and jerseys and proclaimed allegiance to NASCAR. When the piss tape comes out they'll be gargling piss and expounding on the benefits of pure natural healthy piss and Proud Boys will drink piss instead of milk.

If you think Trump having hookers piss on some bed Obama once slept in is gonna change ANYTHING well then you've been living in a closet and/or you're dumb.

The only possible recourse for substantive change is Civil War II. I just built an assault rifle with the assistance of TFR. You would assume a bunch of gun nuts would all be MAGA chuds but they helped me out even after I said my rifle would be for killing Nazis and KKK so good on them.

They don't need it to come out to admit loving it. There's no way they even see the concept of hiring hookers to piss on Obama's hotel bed as sexual in nature. Just try this:

"That piss tape stuff is dumb libtard poo poo, right? But I wish it were real, wouldn't that be such a great dunk on Obama?"

Unless they sense the trap, I guarantee they'd all agree at this very moment.

Guy Goodbody posted:

I heard a reveiw of the movie, the twist is the guy who says he wants peace actually wants war, right?

Well, sort of.

Ares is the guy advocating peace, but only to amplify the panic when that expected peace is shattered. He is not revealed to be the god of war; he is revealed to be the god of war profiteering. He is meant to symbolize the hidden evil that enables peak villainy, then solemnly sends heroes (armed with more of his weaponry) to reestablish order.

The movie is, on the surface, about World War I, but it begins at the tail end of said war. On close review, it is not about World War I at all; it is instead an indictment of American, French, German, and British capitalists for enabling the rise of fascism in Germany.

Ares disguises himself as British Lord who, under auspice of armistice, travels to Germany. He is actually there to ensure the bombing of London with a deadly gas. This bombing was planned by Ludendorff, who Wonder Woman initially thinks is Ares -- until she kills him and the war rages on. Chris Pine speculates that this is because war has nothing to do with Ares, but his argument is proven wrong. When she spares the other fanatic, Maru, and instead kills Ares (war profiteering), the war comes to an immediate end.

Ludendorff, by the way, was an actual German General. In real life though, he didn't die in 1918.

In 1917, a full year prior to the events in the film, the German Reichstag had voted in favor of an armistice that would allow Germany to claim victory in a defensive war and keep their borders intact. These were terms the Entente would have almost certainly accepted. Ludendorff, though, was furious. He successfully lobbied to have the Chancellor removed, and bullied the representatives into funding the war indefinitely.

Ludendorff argued that Germany needed to have expanded borders for defense against future aggression. In reality, he was steered to this conclusion. War profiteers in his orbit were hungry for French minerals in the resource-rich border regions. They had already succeeded in pushing him to modify Brest-Litovsk and the Romanian armistice to line their pockets, and still they were not satiated.

As a result, Germany fought on with no hope of securing victory. Ludendorff, a man who had never been one to lie to his own soldiers, suddenly began distributing false propaganda about America and Britain's "weak position". His fanaticism would end up losing Germany even the mineral-rich region they had taken from France a half-century prior, Alsace-Lorraine. Ludendorff was eventually removed by the Kaiser and a new nobleman Chancellor because he was a roadblock to any realistic path to peace. Both these men were from old nobility, and thus were both aware of the wiles of the profiteers, and too respectful of the lives of the German people, to engage in artificially extending the conflict themselves.

When the war was lost, Ludendorff could have blamed himself. He could have also blamed the industrial profiteers who pushed him to rebuke armistices time and again. Since he was anti-Semitic from jump, though, these specific industrialists were obviously not Jewish.

What he did instead was work through his trauma by creating the stabbed-in-the-back myth. He also blamed the social democrats, who were forced to sign a terrible agreement solely because he himself had blocked their prior armistice. His industrialist friends were not an option, but he was more than willing to blame all the other profiteers -- especially those he was already bigoted against. Soon enough, he was close friends with Adolf himself.

In Ludendorff's post-war memoirs, he accurately proclaimed,

quote:

In twenty years' time, the German people will curse the parties who now boast of having made the Revolution."

He went on to participate in the Kapp Putsch, then the Beer Hall Putsch. During the latter, Hitler proclaimed Ludendorff would lead the Nazi army.

As the Putsch marched on the capitol, the following d e c o r u m occured:

quote:

Ludendorff and his adjutant Major Streck marched to the police line where they pushed aside the rifle barrels. He was respectfully arrested. He was indignant when sent home while the other leaders remained in custody. Four police officers and 16 Nazis had been killed, including Ludendorff’s servant.

In 1924, he was elected to the Reichstag. In 1925 he stood for Chancellor against his friend Hindenberg, and he couldn't handle losing that election. A Berlin paper's 1925 above-fold ran with a now-even-more-awkward headline:

quote:

Ludendorff's hate tirades against Hindenburg - Poisonous gas from Hitler's camp

Ludendorff, however, was so absurd a character that even Hitler could not remain his ally once he rose to power. Ludendorff's sin, according to Hitler? He bought into too many conspiracy theories. Turns out, some of them may have been on point.

Ludendorff's 1933 telegram to Hindenberg is hard to source, but it can be found in contemporaneous books. Meanwhile, the only people I could find dismissing it as a forgery were internet neonazis. Seems like a confirmation to me! It purportedly read:

quote:

"Through the nomination of Hitler as Reich Chancellor, you have delivered our holy German Fatherland to one of the greatest demagogues of all time. I prophesy to you solemnly that this unholy man will plunge our realm into the abyss and bring our nation into unimaginable misery. Coming generations will curse you in your grave because of this action".

Ludendorff finally died in 1937. In one of Hitler's most Trumpian moves ever, and that says a lot,

quote:

He was given — against his explicit wishes — a state funeral organized and attended by Hitler, who declined to speak at his eulogy.

So when Wonder Woman kills Ludendorff and the war does not stop, the implication is that Ares is meant to symbolize war profiteering, and since there is a ready supply of nationalist zealots in all nations, war can only end with Ares' death.

Solid flick.

Trump flips his opinion Jews 180 because they have such an old sexy wall (and new one too)

Humpty Dickless makes a "put me back together again" ref to make Donald love him by pairing him mentally with a great wall

Trump is sold on a fence by some genius who told him it's actually a "wall you can see the bad guys through"

Trump highly recommends NFL players lock arms and be a wall for the anthem, an act just as patently disrespectful as kneeling, possibly more so, if done for the same reason

Trump allows and even praises his VP for loving a horse after Pence takes him to A Midsummer Night's Dream

the main question i have is whether they are running these things on modern-ish computers, or whether they are doing it the way we did it back when we were testing these things. They may well have it all old style as far as logistics goes, having newer tech solely on the payload/mechanical side of things. Unless they're fully old-school, their computers are all 100% compromised, even if they're only running on an internal network, because somebody always gets on the internet or plugs in a thumb drive at some point. If the CIA can hack smart cars and has an entire suite of software that mimics OpenTable/Aloha that is capable of fooling modern European nations, they got their code onto Kim's 2005 Compaq or whatever at some point.

-Many viewers don't know whether they need to care about Puerto Ricans more than Haitians because they are, apparently, citizens, whether feeling this dilemma makes them nationalist, wheth-- oh look American Pickers is on, wow that is a seriously old beer keg
