At that point, Brett Ratner himself would probably have to play Wonder Woman.

Trump fucked up the good life for a lot of his fellow famous and powerful serial predators - they could fly under the radar for a long time, but Trump, provoking the visceral reactions he does every day, made a lot of women reach the end of their patience with this crap.

From an economics and PR standpoint, there’s just no way that a disgraced man like Rattner is worth more to the franchise than the box office losses that would come with the terrible PR of recasting the lead role.

I’m much more worried about the overwhelming acquiescence of politicians of both parties towards Israel, than I am of an Israeli actress who has no political power to shape American policy towards Israel. If you don’t like her politics, it’s certainly your choice not to support her movies with your money. Especially…

I’ll hold on to my victory parade until a couple of them are sued to bankruptcy, or better yet, sentenced to prison terms.

What makes this man such a fool is that he’s incapable of understanding that you can’t just wave a magic wand and wish yourself towards good relations with a foreign nation that has vastly different interests, which often stand in direct opposition to Western and American interests.

Trump is, above all else, slow. Homer Simpson-slow (but without Homer’s humanity).

Merkel doesn’t have a pee tape in her safe at the chancellory, though, unlike Putin. Russians like Trump, while he is nearly unanimously loathed in Germany, and prety much everywhere else in Western and Northern Europe.

Beyond just being creepy as hell, the potential for criminal abuse certainly warrants the government not allowing such masks to be produced or sold on the open market.

Restoring the environment is actually a way bigger task than cleaning up minefields. We can’t, for instance, just quickly reforest a rainforest like the Amazonian jungle, depending on its biodiversity, it takes decades to centuries for all of the species to come back and the habitat balancing itself out again. Great…

Yes, I wrote about that extensively just yesterday - Trump and the GOP are destroying not just the “administrative state” (Steve Bannon) at home, but also America’s influence all over the world at breakneck speed.

Imagine the West had set up a Marshall plan for the Russians after the collapse of the USSR, like the US did with Western Europe after the war - instead of trying to seize their oil and gas reserves and privatizing everything. They might be part of NATO and the EU today. That was a once in a lifetime chance to return…

Gays, guns, abortion and Jeeeebus. Works to turn out the vote every time. You have to give it to them, they’re a lot better at branding and framing than the Democrats.

Reflection is the first step towards action.

China is such a terrified - and terrifying - regime, that it would not release Liu Xiaobo when he was terminally ill, would not even allow friends and family to visit him in his final hours.

It was the most superfluous film ever made. After the Ben Hur remake.

It’s not about whataboutism, but about following the standard of personal conduct that Barack Obama set for future Democratic candidates for high office - not the lower standards the Clintons set.

Some African Americans and feminists have argued in recent months that Trump might prove a blessing in disguise in the long run - for being who he is, and dropping the pretense of racist and sexist dog whistles that Republicans in past decades used to get elected, he really exposed the dark underbelly of American…

That’s just not feasible for other countries, the United States is too powerful to allow that to happen. No outside force can bring the US government to heel, only American citizens can do that, by actually voting and removing these crazies from power, step by step.

They don’t really care about policy anymore, like conservatives used to do, all they care about is winning (regardless of the cost to themselves) and basking in those “librul tears”.
