I’ve never seen Apocalypse Now, but I get the feeling Trump has never seen Apocalypse Now.
Trump posted this in Truth.

Like pretty much every character in the film, the character Trump is cosplaying as has been driven insane by an insane war.

He tried to use Born in the USA as a campaign song. Media literacy isn’t MAGA’s strongest suit.

This would be hilarious, weren’t this all hell

Literacy isn’t Trump’s.

He plays the mainstream media like a fiddle.

One time there was a heat wave in my city, and I don’t have air conditioning at home. The movie theater was playing apocalypse now, I think it was the directors cut. It was 3 hours long so I bought a ticket because I wanted 3 hours of air conditioning. I had no idea what a great movie I was stumbling into! It was about war and how horrific it is.

That’s an interesting way to discover that film. You must have gone on one hell of a ride that afternoon.
BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Going in neutral without expectations is the best way to enjoy a movie in my opinion, there’s a indie theatre near my home that mostly plays older classics from US and around the world. I’ve had my mind blown by movies that came out decades ago, good movies age very well
ch00f@lemmy.world 10 months ago
We just got it on DVD. It’s the “Redux” edition. 3 hours 22 mins. It’s the 6th longest movie in our collection behind LoTR extendeds, Beh-Hur, and Lawrence of Arabia.

I dunno, his government tracks so far with what I remember of the film.
- Feeling of Endless Hell
- Waiting for it to be over
- Everyone dying or in pain, in some cases at the hands of their own stupidity
- Pretty much the only person who gets what they want is the one main character leading the thing
- Swamp

I could believe it, but my pessimistic interpretation is that whoever made this meme has seen it and doesn’t think Kilgore is a monster.
rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Probably thinks Lt Col Kilgore is the protagonist.

What about them ? Jay “Chef” Hicks
Lance B. Johnson
Roxanne SarraultI asked the machine, here is what it said
Jay "Chef" Hicks Cowardice, instability, disloyalty, inability to cope with war. Lance B. Johnson Emotional detachment, negligence, descent into madness. Roxanne Sarrault Colonial arrogance, moral ambiguity, emotional manipulation.
I have a hard time calling them pieces of shit for that. Seems normal to me to refuse to play the game of war and recognizing military duty as the infectious spook that it is.

Great War movie by the way. That guy is a surfer fanatic and basically requested a famous surfer to surf in a hot zone. Dude was crazy just waking on beach with bullets landing around him.

I accidentally scheduled a vacation to Chicago during Mexican Independence Day, which apparently is a huge deal in Chicago. When I got there, the entire downtown area was completely shut down as Mexicans had been roaring up and down every street in trucks for the last two days. The Chicago PD had blockaded every exit off the highway within two miles of downtown to try and stop it. It didn’t- it just limited them to doing it on the highway breakdown lanes and the actual fucking grass medians.
The moral of the story? If the above is what the Mexican population of Chicago does for fun, I’d dread to see what they do in the face of an actual threat.

Two comments, and I know this is now old news: it’s insane to see someone/somegroup get SO pissy for being hit with a soft, non-lethal projectile; and while I understand how he was likely carrying it, upon further review the clip above seems to show that this man is a sandwich-mancer and can summon subs from thin air.
I don’t normally like to use the AI summary of a search, but this one was funny: Force of rubber bullet vs sandwich
I’m glad they failed to indict him, and I hope he finds success in another place.
iAvicenna@lemmy.world 10 months ago
dude honestly thinks he is the shit. If there was ever a pit fight between world presidents, I would bet money on him losing his first fight in the first five seconds.

Yeah, probably not a great idea on Chi-Raq. If anywhere were to put forth a united resistance it’s the place with a history of running the police or if the city with armed force.

ValarieLenin@midwest.social 10 months ago
Why is he trying so hard to fuck around and find out…
Skyrmir@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Insurrection is grounds to declare martial law, remove those in power, and halt elections. He has to push hard enough to force people to fight back.
ValarieLenin@midwest.social 10 months ago
The right answer unfortunately…
ayyy@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago

Kornblumenratte@feddit.org 10 months ago
There will be elections. All autocrats love elections. Being reelected with 90+ % just feels too good to not have them.
Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It’s only going to get worse. The right would rather elect trumps lifeless corpse than someone with any decency
hector@lemmy.today 10 months ago
All that’s going to do is switch out him for his successor in the party. All of these things are things the party has been working for, such as declaring martial law and locking people up without habeas corpus, disappearing them, including citizens. Without addressing a lack of an opposition that can win in the face of election rigging 2028 won’t change anything except perhaps a leader that is not quite so stupid about doing the exact same things.

The last time this obese imbecile was that slim was deep in the last fucking millennium. Which was also when it was the last time he could squat like that, useless cunt.
If he tried to squat like that today he’d shit himself 4 times on the way down and then roll over like a hog in even more shit.Fuck sake, What type of bunch of fools could ever vote for this buffoon? Hang your head in shame.
