Also keep this in mind as legacy media continues to try their best to make Trump seem reasonable, they are owned by a few billionaires who have a rational, material interest in Trump getting reelected no matter what that means for everyone else.

NGL if HBO made this into a 6 part miniseries I would watch. I would hate myself as I watched but I would watch.
They're not so much in the pockets of big oil so much as they literally are big oil. At least a part of it.
It's definitely true that if every actor did their own stunts, stunt workers wouldn't get jobs. But here's the thing - that is not in danger of happening. More than that, Tom Cruise doing his own stunts, in many cases, makes his movies better. Hanging on the side of a plane or running on the Burj Khalifa - in both cases the shots they can get are far better than they otherwise would be if they have to obscure the stunt guys face and use camera trickery and CGI to take his face.
Not to mention that the other actors in his films use stunt doubles so making those films more successful keeps stunt workers employed. It's not like there were no stunt doubles in the mission impossible films.
Overall I just don't see how this is a real problem . Most actors, especially A-listers, like themselves too much to seriously attempt doing their own stunts. Most of their reactions to seeing what Tom Cruise does is "fuck no". Tom Cruise has the commitment of an actual crazy person to do the shit he does. No other actor who "does his own stunts" does what he does. Are stunt doubles really in danger of becoming extinct as a profession?
Given this, I guess I find it hard to see this as an issue worth worrying about. Why must this one crazy guy's obsession with stunts be squashed? Is there there really not room in the wide landscape of filmmaking for one obsessive dude doing his own stunts?
These degenerates are also completely incapable of choosing someone who would be benevolent even for a moment. They just want someone who hates the same people they hate to be able to bypass checks and balances to hurt the people they want to hurt. There's no deeper political philosophy here.
It's Trump's schtick. He spews out a constant stream of nonsense. His supporters are conditioned to ignore it.
I give it two weeks before you're randomly musing about your desire to die along side Sanguinius in defence of the Eternity Gate.
Which significant Democrat has proposed any of that? What makes anything you said relevant?
No they won't because Louisiana will vote GOP no matter what and they know it .
Who is she? Looks so familiar.
His health suggests that won't be necessary. If they 25th him they'll have to deal with his angry cult. The one thing Trump will reliably do is whatever he can to make rich people richer. There's no need to off him. His ridiculous antics provide great cover for all the evil shit these people do in the background with Trump eating up all the media coverage.

Don't worry, I'm sure one of his drooling supporters will be along shortly to tell us "what he really meant".
