I revisited The man in the high castle after just watching the first ep last year. Now one from the end of s1 and its good like - the dark brutality of that scenario is compelling. Definitely will be watching s2.
-
You think the private sector is better? I'm surrounded by back-stabbing incompetent cunts.
-
I saw an interview with some ex-miners from West Virginia who'd voted Trump as he'd literally told them he'd reopen mines - the parallels with those Mackems who wanted the shipyards reopened as they provided "proper jobs" unlike Nissan was obvious.
-
They are but the rust belt of Ohio etc is just as urban as some of the coastal states. As discussed before they've suffered from industrial decline in a similar way to the NE which is where Trump found such rich pickings due to years of neglect.
-
He doesn't need the support of the vocal, coastal liberals, just his power base in the red /swing states.
-
Yes but even my limited knowledge goes as far as knowing branches of government including the judiciary are deliberately separated to provide checks and balances. He might think he can go further because of the republican grip of Congress but judges are generally letter of the law focused. Of course there's the whole supreme court thing but that's at the end of a long process when it comes to challenges.
-
I think I said earlier, what's worrying is that he seems to have surrounded himself with inexperienced sycophants - surely the constitution is taught in schools anyway so even basic knowledge should allow anyone to try and tell the idiot how it works let alone the true experts he should have.
-
"The performance was excellent" - that's why we got relegated Steve.
-
Older than Trump.
-
I'm going to channel all of the spineless, lacklustre away performances from last year when I see a team he's fired up to fuck having a great day. Twat.
-
The schadenfreude of Pardew's demise is going to feel quite bitter when the cunt waltzes back in.
-
I think it was one of those where their player deliberately stepped over him with the intention of getting a reaction. Of course any action should also include 3 nasty incidents involving their players but in reality we'd gain nothing if QPR players are banned.
-
It's a shit show but he has a lot of support - I saw some pro-life fuckwits celebrating his SC nomination yesterday. Begs the usual question of what would he have to do before they'd actually think WTF.
-
They have better players than Mo fucking Diame.
-
Charnley/Ashley. Derby will have a field day.
-
Karelse was signed by Gullit iirc. He was fucking shit. Played in a howking at Southampton.
-
The argument goes that we'll see off Huddersfield, Reading etc off because we have squad depth. Struggling without Shelvey and the bench shows that's a myth imo.
-
We have Sterry and Ameobi on the bench and Colback is still getting games. Anyone who thinks we shouldn't have signed players is fucking mental. There's a nasty side of me that almost hopes promotion goes tits up to serve the fuckers right.
-
That Pence is a cunt though - maybe not as deranged but still a nasty piece of work.
-
So in West wing terms he's removed Fitz and Nancy from the situation room and replaced them with an ignorant stooge. That'll work.
-
I think labour "heartlands" and the rust states Trump won share a sense of betrayal of 35 years of perceived neglect. Being told that the country is booming even before the crisis when you're a taxi driver who used to be a miner is /was a pisstake no matter how much NL invested in schools or the NHS. The same applies to places like Virginia and Ohio and being told by Clinton that the cure all was more of the same with more free trade deals reaped its "reward" the same way threatening people in the NE with financial insecurity did with brexit.
-
The sentiment behind the petition is fine but "embarrassment to the Queen" can fuck right off. They flew flags at half mast for the king of Saudi and sent the jug eared cunt to his funeral which negates any "embarrassment" argument.
-
The NSA have everyone's social media records anyway so it's actually just intimidation.
-
Yes, but should a leader of a party accept an agreed policy or lay down his law a la Blair/Thatcher? I think it's up to a leader to set out their views as the ideal but if conference goes the other way then it's not asking too much of them to back it.
-
Is there any polling on whether his voters are happy with what he's done? If he's still​ carrying the swing states all of the outrage is meaningless.
