I worked on a few movies with him.
Here’s the exact exchange I overheard between him and a PA on the set of Finestkind:
PA: “Would you like Oolong tea, Earl Grey, Green Tea, or something else?”
Tommy Lee Jones: “I’d like a hot cup of too many fucking questions!”

And looks objectively terrible compared to basically ANY major motion picture released this year (perhaps just short of the great film but terribly-lit “Rob Peace”).
I was flabbergasted that such horrifically flat lighting and incredibly uninspired camera work didn’t trigger any reshoots (particularly with the $150 million budget they had and, as a consequence, the equipment they had at their disposal.)

Not as badly as I seem. It’s just insanity. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different result that gets me heated.

No. But the way to fix this CERTAINLY isn’t to post memes broadcasting your anger at some perceived slight from people that won’t step in line behind a sham system like some stupid sheep to be herded for your silly partisan hackery. The shaming does nothing more than perpetuate the very issue of corruption and austerity in the US.
Ranked choice voting solves the issues created by FPTP.
Have you EVER seen evidence that shaming marginalized, unrepresented, utterly voiceless and abused voters works?

I’m shocked that you’d make the typical overly generous assessment of actual bribery to excuse any and all of your team. /s
Do some more research. This is just the tip of the fucking iceberg. Biden has a long track record of quid pro quo besides this event that you clearly are purposely looking the other way on.
I could literally show you video of Biden accepting a bribe and you’d find a way to excuse it.

The politicians of the US took massive payouts from the banking industry in exchange for commodifying anything and everything that people need. Back in 2008, Biden himself took a $250,000 bribe from MBNA to make it illegal to escape student loans even in bankruptcy.

How dare you, OP.
What you’re doing is the equivalent of victim-shaming. The two party system is a fucking sham; and if you’re too comfortable (or ignorant) to realize that, you need to go read up on the US’s fake democracy and stop punching down on your allies.
Some reading:
1.) First past the post makes only two parties possible.
2.) Voting is a fucking sham when you only have two private parties that win court cases where they are accused of election fraud, offering the following as their defense:
“We could have voluntarily decided that, ‘Look, we’re gonna go into back rooms like they used to and smoke cigars and pick the candidate that way,’”
furthermore, the DNC’s lawyer said,
“There’s no right to not have your candidate disadvantaged or have another candidate advantaged. There’s no contractual obligation here…it’s not a situation where a promise has been made that is an enforceable promise,”
If your two parties are legally allowed to engage in open election fraud in the process of selecting those only two possible candidates, how effective is it IN REALITY to vote?

I can only see one result of this: a debilitatingly self-aware nod to the previous one so obviously written by DNC partisan hacks that it feels empty compared to the original.

Thanks for bravely coming to this comment section to actually demonstrate EXACTLY what the video is about. You are such a fucking joke (to the Democrats and Republican parties) and you don’t even know it. You are cosplaying as an activist.
Thanks again for the laugh.

Economist wonks are terrified that we’ll realize that the rain they told us is landing on our heads is piss.
Most normal people know that the economy is bad and has been bad for a few years now despite economists droning on and on with bullshit, cherry-picked unemployment numbers.

Thank you. I surely oversimplified it.
You’ve hit the nail on the head as to why I prefer to keep my activism quasi anonymous. The long list of amazing activists who were right but still ended up dead…. The only one who survived (Kwame) left the country.
Anecdote: At the beginning of this most recent uptick in the ongoing genocide of Palestine, I was pretty vocal and downright subversive with my language about Biden and his bloodthirstiness with regard to Gaza and was actually taken aside and expressly warned by a friend of mine in the MIC. I decided that my family was too important to me to keep up my activism. I’m sure I’m not alone in giving up and I’m sorry if I sort of glossed over the concerted effort by the that cadre of World Bank puppets working tirelessly to stifle any perceived threats to capitalism.
Thank you for your comment.
