    Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

    Actually, it was a mini-series. I liked it very much.

    I did too. Anya Taylor-Joy is a heartbreaking beauty who has this rare ability to convincingly portray a character whose humanity touches you in a truly poignant way. Additionally, the movie was more about the chess than the character without being either technical, ostentatious, or philosophical. Well done for television

    Trump has encouraged a victim/grievance culture. In my opinion, the Proud Boys and the Boogaloo Boys, QAnon and all the other lunatic or hate-filled groups, need to grow the eff up and realize that NO ONE gets everything they want.

    I can't imagine why not ... San Diego is a very pleasant place to live, with arguably the best climate in the country. I'd live there myself if I could afford to buy a home or even a condo there.

    His cheese has slid off his cracker.
    He's missing a few dots off his dice.
    He's a couple of cans shy of a six pack.
    He has toys in the attic.
    He's not firing on all thrusters.
    :eyepopping:

    (Sorry, I just needed a chance to get those out. I've been on the verge of laughing out loud for no apparent reason. :lol:)

    Most of the good writing, directing, and acting is in television these days. Hollywood tends to focus only on the 18-29 demographic, with "blockbuster" franchises based on comic books and video games. While I truly enjoy Iron Man and Wonder Woman, etc., in theaters, at home I prefer stories with more relatable and nuanced characters.

    Anya was truly wonderful and I look forward to seeing her in other works.

    Corroboration. Miles and miles of evidence.

    We are entitled to our own opinions, but not our own facts. In any given event, situation or issue, there is one set of facts, one truth to the matter. Opinions based on lies or "alternative facts" are not valid.

    CNN has been sure more than once for
    CNN was sued by the kid from kentucky wearing the maga hat and staring down an indian..

    he sued for about $250 million..

    CNN knew they were wrong and settled with the kid before jury of trump supporters could sit in judgement

    not sure if CNN fired any celebrities over the matter

    but one thing I am sure of

    the kid from kentucky will never have to lift finger the rest of his life

    hopefully he is grateful to CNN for making him a millionaire at 17

    Greek. Attributed to Plutarch, who said:

    "The first messenger, that gave notice of Lucullus' coming was so far from pleasing Tigranes that, he had his head cut off for his pains; and no man dared to bring further information."

    "Who, me? What?" -- that's a line my son used at around age three or so.

    You haven't presented one fact on this entire thread, just your opinions. And your opinions are of no value to me.

    Free speech doesn't require anyone to prove their claims. If it did, none of the liberals would be able to post here, and CNN would be barred from television. Free speech applies to us all, not just those who are of your own political persuasion.

    Slightly off topic. Have you guys found the tv national news has become sensationalist since the arrival of social media.
    Here in the UK the BBC used to be a no nonsense news program, now its written to wind you up.

    Todays opening news headline, was "Scientists say vaccine doesn't work on new virus strain" Very worrying you might think.
    Until you find out its a strain that only makes you mildly ill and the vaccine didn't stop you becoming mildly ill.

    He needs a check-up from the neck up.

    He'd have to get better to be crazy.
