Remember a few weeks ago where we had a very civil discourse on pro- and anti- Trump (which I personally enjoyed), and while we didn't see eye to eye to across the board, we respected each other enough to recognize that the other made valid points. Towards the end of that, you complimented me by saying something along the lines of (I'm paraphrasing) "I see you're not a Trump guy, but I respect that you're able to discuss the issues rationally and you can say the things you don't like with reason, numbers and you're not just standing there with your eyes bugging out of your head like a child?" It was something to that effect and I, in turn, felt you did the same. We did it! So....shouldn't the inverse of that compliment get applied to the OP? Have you seen the posts? If I can discuss why I don't like Trump rationally, then pro Trump people should be held to the same standard without immediately calling others assholes right off the bat. You don't see me patting anthonyrocks on the back and others who just shit on Trump with their dicks out all the time. Sorry bud, but I didn't say anything about the OP in my post, I was just throwing out some Trump stuff, so I'm not really sure how that pertains to your point. I do think the OP went about things in a pretty aggressive, negative way, but he did start an "OT political thread", so I felt the need to put in my two cents. I didn't say anything negative towards non-Trump folks in my post.I didn't say you did. I just think what you said in the opening of that second paragraph needed to be said by someone who is more closely politically aligned with him than say, myself or masterofgallons. Tangent, I don't get why people get bothered by OT threads. Sure, political threads can often devolve into non-fun, but we all know each other, let's chat about things that we come across every day. I'm all for them.

Now let's talk about something for real here involving the 2020 race.....you really don't want Hillary getting involved in this, right? You're a smart guy, you know that's a trainwreck, yes? That can't be the final option.

That can't be the final option. I bet my professional license on it not happening. I'm seeing headlines, mostly in right-leaning papers (National Review, Washington Examiner) about how she's not ruling herself out, how people are pressuring her to re-enter, she still thinks about, it's all rumor mill nonsense turning into clickbait. Nothing more. Now Michael Bloomberg, there's a guy I can get behind. The rest of the Dem field doesn't make me feel good about the election at all. Even if I agree with some of their ideas, none of them are really electable nationally and I'm really getting sick and tired of Bernie Sanders.

Even if I agree with some of their ideas, none of them are really electable nationally and I'm really getting sick and tired of Bernie Sanders. She was on the Howard Stern show the other day and was hinting at it, I'm telling you I think she's gonna push herself into this, and with a fawning media's help, she will bullhorn her way to the nomination, which will pretty much seal the deal for Orange Man. Bloomberg might be the Dem's best option but the media loves Hillary, so I don't know. The problem with Bloomberg, Hillary, and most all of them (except maybe Biden) is that not all of the country is the West Coast or the Eastern beltway from DC to New England. There is this WIDE SWATH in the middle of the USA who have no problem with Trump, and are beyond insulted by the likes of dopes like Stephen Colbert and Bill Maher.

Creepshow II - the episode entitled 'The Raft' was my go to for some boobage on VHS as a kid - being horror fans - Father Jack and masterofallgoons probably have an idea of what I'm talking about. I'm a full grown adult man. And even now when I'm about to watch an R rated movie on a cable movie station I will say to myself when they show there is nudity, "Oh good. I hope I get to see some tits in this." There is no shame at all in this.

Anybody here see Knives Out? That movie was a lot of fun! A bit cheeky but a good time at the movies nonetheless. As good a cast as you'll find this year with Daniel Craig having a blast playing the role of the detective extraordinaire. Very entertaining movie. Of course the OP and his type will say the movie was bludgeoning us with a certain type of slant which ruined any of it's positives.

I kinda liked how both of sides of that stupid political argument were stupid. Really rang true.

Why is there this political thread, on the sports board, moaning about politics on the sports board, posted by the poster who can't go five minutes without posting some far right political pish, and hurling foul abuse at anyone who disagrees with him?
Is this post-modern irony or something?

Honest question. There is a forum here for politics. If you want to talk politics, go there. Why can't movies be about movies, books be about books, sports be about sports, etc? It's so tiring to see the leftists here interject politics in almost every thread no matter how apolitical the thread is. So, why do you leftists, liberals, progressives have to interject politics into everything? Errr, you're the one starting a politics discussion on a sports board. Guess you are an annoying "leftie" or else your proposition is utterly without merit.

They want to "change the world" ... and politics is the mechanism. The obvious plan these days is to "re-educate" everyone to their way of thinking. You can't do something like that piece meal. It must be infused into every aspect of everyday life. That's why the left dragged politics into the NFL with the kneeling episode. In other parts of the world, leftists would simply eliminate those who resisted their plans, but we're too well armed in the USA for that sort of draconian measure to work. So, it's the long game.

I'm not reading through this thread as I know how toxic they can get, but it's a bit hypocritical starting a political topic on the sports board despite wanting less politics on these boards. Also, while I can somewhat agree that everything is too politicized these days, it's not exclusive to the left.

There are several guys on this site who post nothing but right wing political commentary in every thread they enter. Film General is filled with them. They can't talk about any movie without making generic social/political observations about it. Making a Trump joke is nothing compared to insisting Hollywood is anti-male, anti-white, anti-working class etc., (despite all evidence to the contrary) and these guys do it all day long, every day. Comments like my generalization of Trump supporters are worth an eyeroll if you disagree, just like I roll my eyes when I see generalizations made by Trump supporters on this board. It's ultimately harmless and you move on. But the conservatives who get worked up over nothing are the ones who see everything through a political lens. This thread is proof of that.

Not me! I just responded to it. I've been very restrained for a while now* *I might cut loose a bit this weekend though 😉 It's an Old Firm cup final. Catholics vs protestants, Irish Nationalists vs British unionists, and all that... Sorry.
