I just personally verified this is a 100% real post tonight. He’s having a normal one.

I am fully aware they probably gave him the red lightsaber because Republicans, but it's still funny knowing who always has the red ones in Star Wars media. What makes it absolutely hilarious is that this is going to live forever in the Library of Congress.

For those not up to date on the canon:

Sith lightsaber

Sith lightsabers, also known as Sith sabers, were lightsabers wielded by members of the Sith. They were constructed through methods similar to those used by other Force-sensitives, but the underlying philosophy was different. Unlike the Jedi who followed the light side of the Force, the Sith...

Well, I’m not much of a Christian, but I don’t see a lot of solid theology in what she’s, literally, selling.

I’ll leave to theologians to call her a heretic, but having seen her on TV, she’s either a not very good con-artist or a loon.

So now I’m confused. Is he a Catholic or a Sith?

My money is on “heretical Sith”.

Do you have the letters in the right order?

Who said she couldn't be both?

We have now arrived at the part where American produced movies being made outside of the US are a national security threat.

Trump Says He’s Instituting a “100% Tariff” on Films Produced Outside of the U.S. Because the “Movie Industry in America Is Dying”

The president posted that Hollywood and other areas are "being devastated" due to "a concerted effort by other Nations," which constitutes a "National Security threat."

I wonder if 'The Donald' knows about Ayn Rand?

I think the POTUS might be genuinely unwell. And it's quite worrying how little the American population seems to care. The island has been a giant museum piece since the early 60's.

Trump says he is directing Bureau of Prisons to reopen Alcatraz to house ‘ruthless and violent offenders’

I didn't have long to wait.

. . . Just look at the number of American productions that are filmed in Canada. Over the past several decades, they've come North attracted by favourable exchange rates, lower wages and government tax credits and that has helped develop a Canadian film and TV industry. But it is an industry that, at present, is tied to the Americans just like auto manufacturing. I'm awaiting for the White House funny farm to come out with tariffs that will try to force more Hollywood and less Hollywood North.

It's important to remember that generally speaking, our conservatives are actually to the left of the Democrats, so very much and apples to oranges comparison.

How do you figure?

The Democrats are/were all for DEI, massive government censorship, out of control spending, etc

Our Conservatives are generally opposed to DEI, much reduced spending.



I don't see our Conservatives as 'more left than Democrats' in any of the key areas that define the 'left'

(But I'm certainly open to that being a possibility, I just don't see it as the case personally)
