LOL, wut. This is some real North Korean State Television style bullshit.
2017 on his first day as president, he was scheduled to call the prime minister of Austrailia.
It’s typically a nothing call. Usually short, basically just “Hi, I’m the new president of America. You’re our ally. Happy to talk, ok, buh-bye now.”
And he’s supposed to do like 20 of those calls on his first day.
Upon talking, he IMMEDIATELY changed the tone to hostile and aggressive, and ended the call by saying “NO NO, IN THIS LIFE IT’S AMERICA FIRST, AND YOU NEVER, FUCKHEAD!” before slamming the phone. I forget the full quote the prime minister said to the media, but it was something along the lines of “I don’t know what that phone call was. I was prepared to invite him for a presidential tour and meeting here, as is customary, and expected to be invited to America for him to give me a tour of America. Then he got pushy, and now I’m saved a 16 hour flight, but worry for Americas future if that’s who they elected”.
Remember, that was the day after inauguration. First day on the job, and our ally was (rightfully) worried about our future.
Within a week trump had met with North Koreas dictator, and trump was interviewed as saying “Now THATS a leader! That’s someone who’s respected. I want that for America. How do I get that gig?”
Again. Talking about Kim Jong Ill.
More trench coat and way, way more medals 😉
And every medal has a FIFA logo on it.
GÖOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLEuh!
Is Donvict going to find a way to put that stolen Nobel Peace Prize on his chest? I’m trying to think of all the participation trophies he might dream up to give himself.
The first row is just Nobel’s, the second row is just those little Monopoly stickers from all the chezburgurz 😉
Nonsense. North Korean movies have famously been pretty good.
Oh yeah?
‘Scowling Void of Pure Nothingness’: Critics Destroy $75 Million Melania Trump Documentary | Common Dreams
For anyone wondering why trump suddenly wants a new Rush Hour movie:
That use of “Women” to describe the girls he rape is fucking sickening.
Exactly, it’s subtle downplaying of what these people have done. “Women” implies that the victims were adults. Most of them were CHILDREN.
While I think it’s the right thing to block out the faces of the women in all the Epstein photographs, I think it diminishes the impact they have. Without the victims faces in them it’s a lot easier for people to brush them off as “women” and for the media to push that narrative.
By issuing a free copy to all the employees laid off this week and crediting it as unemployment assistance on the books….?
I’m 😵
The fact that it made $7 million just shows people are fucking dumb and will watch any trash you put in front of them, and they’ll pay to do it.
They said that reviewers had to buy their own tickets, instead of the free tickets or previews that they usually get. One reviewer in New York said there were 5 people in his audience and at least two of the others were also reviewers.
Or that Amazon paid £6.5m to seat-fillers.
I hope she ends up like Mussolini’s girlfriend because that’s the end she deserves
I can’t help but wonder - does she really actually believe it’s some kind of success and that the world is actually interested in her?
Or, does she know it’s just the cover for a bribe and the reports of it’s success are just noise.
I don’t know anything about her (and don’t care to), but it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if she is vastly more intelligent than Trump and has a much better handle on how the world works.
Yeah, but that’s not a high bar to clear. I was on the bus and heard a 5 year old yell out “ICE IS A BAG OF POOP!!!”
I’d say that kid has a solid handle on life, and meets the requirements to clear your bar.

I think you are confusing intelligence and empathy. You can absolutely be intelligent and a total piece of shit.
There is no evidence that Melanoma is more intelligent than a golden retriever (though with less empathy).
I’m thrilled to hear it was a success.
I am equally thrilled to hear that they will be paying taxes on its success instead of getting a credit from its failure.
That’s happening, right? /s
Ever seen ‘the producers’? She pocketed a ton of money from the film it’s just another income.
Naked bribery
Oh God, they’re making a series!
First off, blatant bribe here. Secondly, I’m guessing, from Melania’s perspective, this is her trying to set herself up for a relevant and glamorous life once her husband dies (you know he won’t have left her much, if anything). And even if she doesn’t make it into Hollywood, it at least gets her some of her own money.
In other words, they’ve lost money on it so far.
I do believe even one ticket sold exceeds their expectations
Also: anyone with a Prime subscription, congrats on finding Anazons’s bribe.

Must be good
It’s a success for Amazon because the bribe happened. They don’t care if the movie is a hot wet fart.
Oooooh, trump had to cancel a press event today because one of those!
I would like to see documentaty about making documentary Melania filmed with some hidden camera. Knowing how US government operates, such a footage exist in Israel and in Russia.
Your English is still better than a lot of native speakers.
As long as they score viewership like they do golf, then she wins by a landslide.
Will the Razzies have the balls to torch this shit next year?
I like your posts a lot, but the noise/signal ratio is serving the empire, drawing attention away from actually important developments.
It was a success: the bribe got to Melanoma.
I’m just surprised they haven’t tried to pull what they did for The Acolyte when it comes to Rotten Tomatoes having some set of “blessed” critics giving it high ratings even as everyone else is giving it one star.
I remember seeing all the drama around it and not having watched anything Star Wars in a long time, I thought I’d try to see if it was just anti-woke dumbasses being butthurt about having their “childhood ruined” or being “anti cishhet white male” or whatever the fuck those snowflakes are always crying about.
Nope, it was simply not good. Sure, the wingnut bros were brigading it because they hated the creator and the main actress and their politics, but I couldn’t even finish the whole season. I kept putting it on later at night and literally falling asleep. I’d go back to where I fell asleep and try to pick it up later and would fall asleep again. I tried to watch during the day and give it my full attention, but found myself starting to use my phone again. Turns out the far right douchebros were actually right about a thing. I really tried to give it the old college try, but it was just not something I could even finish.
The same thing happened with more recent Doctor Who. It’s almost like Disney or whoever is purposefully making total shit under the banner of representation in order to cause a blowback? I don’t know how things so stupid got released. It almost seems like intentional sabotage.
Anyway, Melania and Donvict must be both in such a narcissistic bubble that they thought this would work? I think I heard on Pod Save America that everyone would have been less embarrassed here (Bezos, Melania, Donvict) if Amazon had just cut him a check openly as a bribe, or bought into his crypto scam or whatever.
I wonder if any of those involved believed that people would go see this in enough numbers to make all that money back? I cannot imagine trying to put on a front about something like this even as it seems to be failing like Gigli…
