This is so fucking specific that all i can do is laugh. Later leaf, you'll be rejoining soon enough. Move to Greenland instead. I hear the forests are green there!

Oh, then it’s really gay that they took a stupid word like punk and applied it to a foreign context

I hope they get beer bottle glass shards in their backs from the floor of the vfw basement that was the only place dumb enough to let them appear in public

Look, this all happened after I aged out of pop culture, so definitionally, I hate it and think it represents a form of retardation.

No personal offense intended, but I don’t want to picture it. I want to criticize it and tell it to get the fuck off my lawn and definitely not try to put a mattress in my dumpster.

Unfortunately they're using the mice to fight with.

Hate to admit it but you're right, the founders did not anticipate that we would essentially gain a fourth branch through bureaucracy and if they did well they did a shit job preparing us for it

They did an excellent job of preparing you for it. It's called the Second Amendment.

No system can survive the inaction of its citizenry. Any government can be corrupted if nothing is done to push back against the corruption. This they knew and understood and tried to both provide those who followed with the tools to control it, and clear warnings of the necessity to do so.

I'm not sure what more could have been asked of the Founders. They did a remarkably good job compared to every other country I can think of. Most of us don't even have a Constitution. And the few emulators like Ukraine tend to fill them with absurd temporal goals like 'our goal is to join the EU' making it unconstitutional to oppose such.

Only the original trilogy is alright.

Everything after became a panderverse

“We need shit to sell more toys to kids! Wait boba fett looked cool? We have to start retconning him into a heroish antihero. Make the star a kid so kids will make their parents take them to see it! Buy a hat for your hat”

They're only "underrated" because they're being compared to the Sequel Trilogy. If Disney had never made the sequels, we'd still be making jokes on Jar Jar Binks rather than sucking his dick.

The Original Trilogy has a fraction of the world building as the Prequels. One of the major complaints about the Prequels was that they had too much depth (e.g. the "boring politics") for low-IQ manchildren like RLM.

Lucas was a master at making movies that both kids and their parents could enjoy. Boomers and Gen X love the Original Trilogy not because they're better movies, but because they came out when they were young. For every Jar Jar in the Prequels, there was an Ewok in the Originals. For every awkward Anakin/Padme scene, there was an awkward Luke/Leia/Han scene. Some of the CGI looks bad in the Prequels today, but so do lots of the practical effects in the Originals.

Boba Fett wasn't even in the prequels beyond a cameo. His backstory was expanded by making his father the template for the clone troopers, but it was the third-party EU that turned him into an antihero (which happened long before the Prequels were made).

What the fuck is with the left-wing's obsession with refugees? There are homeless people on the streets right now but they want to import refugees who can't speak English, don't want jobs, and will get thousands in EBT along with Section 8 housing the second they come into the country?

I assume it will just stall in legal limbo, but Trump should import them in and place a refugee camp neighbor to the judges home.

“I’m not saying you should commit crimes here. But that dude next to you has some nice, easy to pawn stuff. Also I heard his family likes sexual assault and never pressed charges.”

They hate America and Americans because of what Americans and America represents.

It is always funny when twats talk about how many boots the cartels can put on the ground, as if that would make a US incursion risky.

Two words for people who think cartel footsoldiers matter:

Air Superiority

It doesn't matter how many untrained, illiterate assholes with AKs your little criminal enterprise has when the opposing force has AH-64s, F-16s and A-10s.

If the US decides to take out a cartel compound, they don't need to go in on the ground. Then end result, to quote a poet and philosopher with US military experience: "Nigger didn't know what him, didn't have time to ask"

The smart ones are treating it as a matter of free speech and the final pushback against cancel culture. The stupid ones are bringing race into it. I'm more than positive Trump and his team will ignore it completely if they can

It is racial and it should be talked about. The only thing stupid would be burying your head in the sand so you can disparage white advocacy like your masters taught you.
