If Mattis' resignation letter wasn't enough of an indictment -- his letter to DoD members certainly was.

OFC I am sure someone might push for the interpretation being "He's talking about the Deep State!". Wouldn't be the first perversion of a long standing military legacy.

So much interesting backstory to Batman Forever. Really come away feeling sorry for everything involved -- but that sympathy especially extends to Schumacher. Reading how shitty it was for Arnold is hilarious. His costume was toxic and weighed about as much as it looked like it weighed. Also took hours to put on.

The whole DC reboot through Zach Snyder has really been a shit show. Everything is hyper produced with such an impotent edge -- the movies will look extremely dated within 8 years and immediately recognizable as Snyder who essentially lifted the "hard gloss" that Fincher uses in meaningful ways and merged it recklessly with some of the most homoerotic jaw clenching in movie history.

I still haven't seen Justice League (or Aquaman) but the DC Universe movies are easy to rank.

1) Wonder Woman
2) Everything else

If forced to rank I'd go 1) Wonder Woman, 2) Suicide Squad, 3) Man of Steel, 4) Batman v Superman. But there's a big gap between #1 and #2. Not counting the Nolan Batman movies, of course, which I'd probably all rank ahead of Wonder Woman. Based on what relatives have told me, Justice League will be ranked near the bottom once I finally watch it.

Amazingly delusional.

I'd compare Trumps detachment from reality similar to Jim Harbaugh's at least for him when it comes to the game of CFB. Heh.

As Trump has undermined American influence in the world and stridently abandoned its allies, China threatens Taiwan with military force.

A sign of things to come. I hear that oft spoken refrain from Millennials, desperately looking for an excuse - "But I looked it up on Google!"

I am old enough to remember your side labeling him a racist, homophobic, sexist, evil animal abuser that single handily gave an employee's wife cancer then canceled their health insurance.

Remember? the world didn't start spinning in 2017
