KevinG Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I find it funny (ironically) that he goes among the "liberal Hollywood elite" and be welcomed, ditto to the dreaded Harvard. I think Spicer thought he was laughing with him, whereas the the Hollywood types thought they were laughing at him. But in essence they validated his fuckery. Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 The only proper way to laugh "at" Spicer would've been to boo his pale ass off the stage. Link to post Share on other sites
KevinG Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Well apparently the GOPs plan to kill ACA is just wear the people down and slip something in with out us noticing. Yeah, so if you want to kick millions off of medicare for tax breaks for the wealthy, go head and sit on our hand watch your cat videos, otherwise call your freaking senator. Do it, do it now, do it tomorrow, do it every single day. Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 No it isn't. And who cares if Spicer was on the Emmy's. I didn't seeing it at legitimizing anything. It was a funny bit. Him being laughed at while on the stage was the same as being booed off the stage. That 60 Minute Bannon interview was interesting - I only caught a bit of it - the last 20 minutes that Charlie Rose showed on his PBS show. It's crazy that he was in the White House as an advisor to a President of the U.S. I can see him being a dealer or maybe someone who sneaks a drink into the President, not advice. He just looks like ill. He is great at talking, though. Anyway - with regards to the ACA repeal - write/call/email all the people representing you - thanks. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure even Trump interpreted it as a sign Hollywood would forgive Trump in a heartbeat. Link to post Share on other sites

Forever. Link to post Share on other sites

He would be pardoned and probably be on dancing with the stars or the next season of the apprentice. Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Regarding Spicer - I guess I don't look to Hollywood for normalizing or legitimizing anything. And I am not sure if it did in anyway. My opinion of him hasn't changed. I would not watch a political show, where he is participating as a pundit, because I have no desire to hear what he has to say. But him standing up at a Hollywood TV awards show making a joke about the idiocy and untruthfulness of the whole inaugural crowd count is fine with me - though I totally see and understand where one may disagree. I had to google the after-show pictures -- didn't realize that all happen - it definitely looked weird - but they were all probably drunk, anyway and again it's Hollywood. From what little I read about it, it looks like Spicer is having a tough job getting another gig - which is good. Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I only saw Raging Bull for the 1st time a couple of month's ago - found it very unsettling. It was good, but I had a stomachache afterwards. Never knew the politics of Woods, before. Always enjoyed his acting, though. Link to post Share on other sites

Wow. Raging Bull, like Calvino says, is unsettling. I think Spielberg said something about it like "it seems like a documentary - it's as if you're eavesdropping on conversations you're not meant to hear..." I think the first time I saw it, Cheers was still in its heyday, and it was insane to me to see "Coach" as a mob-heavy. Taxi Driver is just nasty. I can't imagine a film like that getting the green light nowadays. Link to post Share on other sites

Perfect example of a garbage human that is extremely talented. Though in retrospect, he does his best work when he plays garbage humans. Link to post Share on other sites

In the meanwhile, that title-holder for me is Gaspar Noe's "I Stand Alone." Apologies for the hijack. Back to politics. The SEC got hacked, and believe that the info was used to make illegal trades. In the meanwhile, they've been dinging firms for not having adequate cybersecurity policies and procedures. Who fines the SEC when they screw up? Link to post Share on other sites

kidsmoke Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 So has everybody put in a few minutes today to call some senators? This foul Graham-Cassidy bill needs to be tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail. Let me save you some steps...here are some pivotal senators for you to call.Susan Collins (202) 224-2523Lisa Murkowski (202) 224-6665*John McCain (202) 224-2235Rand Paul (202) 224-4343 * Murkowski's phone line is so impacted that you probably won't get through. Better to send an email to her website. It doesn't matter that you aren't their constituent, if you're not. This is an issue that will devastate the American people, and that makes it an American issue. Be a patriot and help shoot this turkey down. Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Don't pop the cork on the good stuff just yet, but McCain says he'll oppose the health bill. Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I'm breathing easier but I'd sure love to hear Collins or Murkowski or Paul announce a similar decision. Still, whew. :whewGreat news. Link to post Share on other sites
KevinG Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Nice deflection by POTUS, instead of talking about how the GOP has utterly failed in their singular focused issue (repeal and replace) we are talking about the NFL, Steph Curry, and the national anthem. Do not think that it wasn't on purpose. Link to post Share on other sites
John Smith Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 The GOP isn't failing, they are just succeeding at a slower pace. Because of the uncertainty created by what they are doing insurance premiums are going up this year, which they will blame on. The ACA. They are doing all they can to shut down the ACA websites this year, scheduled outages every week during the sign up period...they will of course blame it on the ACA. The president swore an oath to uphold the laws of the United States, yet here he is actively trying to sabotage a law. Too bad the GOP are solely focused on overturning everything obama did and getting as much $$ to the ultra spoiled mega rich billenials to care about the rest of the country.

Whatever they replace it with has to have support from Dems. Link to post Share on other sites
