I won't be as crude as the guy you are responding to and deny Scorcese's achievements. But we can all admit that he was taking the piss a little bit with the Irishman. Its a movie in the MCU - the martin cinematic universe. He gathers his avengers (De Niro, Pesci, Keitel) for an ensemble film within the Gangster oeuvre. He defends this by insisting that he went through the motions of "establishing" an "emotional core" or whatever. But at the end of the day, it's De Niro saying "c'mere, whassamatta" again. Brought to you by special effects.

I personally think that there is nothing wrong with this, and Scorcese is a very saavy movie promoter to juxtapose how he makes films against the marvel method. But I do think that Marty is taking the piss just a little, even if it is in a pretty fun way.

There has got to be 5 Republicans ready to throw in the towel. Screw the maga crowd, they can go to hell.

Just admit defeat and vote for Jeffries. Losers.

You can take in refugees and immigrants, and expect them to adhere to the law. It's not hard.

Gross. The Swiss have a responsibility to pay the world reparations for all time for laundering nazi gold. They should use some of that wealth to take in refugees.

Poster is pretty much saying that there is no difference between him and trump. Just super incorrect and arrogant.

This is such a poor understanding of policy.

Thats part of it because everyone interested already doesn't like them and is getting this game for free. If it doesn't have legs outside of everyone who has effectively ore-ordered, its going to be a real issue for CIG

Jared Kushner very openly accepted 2 Billion in Saudi investment the receives 25 million annual fees from, and whose collaborative policy has led to a once in a generation international crisis. It's very goofy,

Nah, you need the chorus to chime in.

I think a lot of generally racist people got caught up in the fantasy. He successfully portrayed himself as a lawman - a western Sheriff modeled after Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp. Writing wrongs, forming posses... etc. Of course, he didn't do any actual police work, and tent city is was pretty much a child's sense of justice. But tons of people collectively ate it up.

I remember having a conversation with someone and him saying proudly that his dad was in the "Sheriff's Posse" back when Arpaio was still in charge. I was pretty disgusted, but he loved it. Right over his head.

The politics in Maricopa county has luckily shifted, thanks in no small part to a lot of dedicated political organizers getting out the vote to non-traditional voters. Joe still runs for positions - outside candidate for republican senator nomination, mayor of fountain hills... But he doesn't really have a chance to win. I guess he is too proud to stop. Even his fans - and they are fans, not supporters - just kind of want him to retire at this point. He is in his 90s.

The hit parade on Joe Arpaio is pretty long. He is pretty famous for tent city and the racial profiling, but there is so much more. This one is probably my favorite, when he put out a hit on himself as a publicity stunt. The systemic refusal to investigate reported rapes is also particularly nasty.

I know people who wanted to vote for him again, but just said that he was too old. This was after he was convicted of a ~~felony~~ contempt in court and then was pardoned by trump for no reason. The dude truly is an American villain.
