Good point. We can only hope.

True, but Putin's still someone with a huge ego (I'm sensing a pattern here). So if it can be done, Trump is the one boorish enough to do it. Either that or Trump makes some decision that isn't in Putin's favor, causing him to be pissed off at him or something. I can see either scenario happen.

Yeah, that's what I don't get about the whole "Oh, he has prevented WWIII (as opposed to Hillary!) because he and Putin are buddies" argument. People do understand that Putin is simply walking all over Trump, and that the niceties are done when Trump inevitably offends him?

Yeah, it's not as if there haven't been countless articles where his short attention span have been raised, or the fact that Trump's son literally stated that they were looking for a hands-on vice-President because he has no clue how to govern.
Trump is only smart in the sense that he copied what certain groups of…

Such a great cinematographer. The great thing about the French New Wave was the experimentation with styles, so Coutard was allowed to work in black and white, color, cinemascope, all of these different formats, and he excelled at each and every one of them. He was able to look back at a long and successful career.

He still thinks he's great at what he does, so yeah. If everyone turns against him there's no way for him to spin it. Granted, that's unlikely to happen, but still.

Verhoeven has been used to being driven away, the same happened in the Netherlands in the 80s because he couldn't get anything made. Which he of course couldn't resist saying when his earlier films were suddenly highly revered as classics, and after Black Book was a success.

Well, those racists are pretty fun to make fun of.

We'll just have to figure out a way to vote for him three times each.

What slickpoetry said, suicide is not a solution, and you need help to get through this.

Meanwhile on my Facebook feed the first religious nutjobs have appeared who claim that this is all part of God's plan, because of course it is.

No. He shouldn't get off that easy. In a perfect scenario he'd have to suffer through four years of seeing himself self-destruct because of his own incompetence and boorishness, leaving his voters to turn away from him and having Trump end up with his reputation damaged beyond repair.

Oh fuck, Raoul Coutard has just passed away. It's probably going to be buried under all of this news, but it's still sad.
