Oh my god, this.

When some friends and I saw it, there were a number of people with us in the theater who had no idea that the movie was part of a trilogy.

"How do you know that?"

"I read the books."

"There are books?"

And then my friends dragged me away before I went off on them.

I'm going to be honest, I don't recall knowing this beforehand, but that's possibly because I spend as little time as necessary thinking about Bannon at all.

Still fucking surprised he hasn't died of liver failure, though.

But a whole lot of bull.

We're definitely in the realm of his inner circle playing the "keep the old man entertained while we dismantle democracy" game.

He's apparently signing a bill *checks notes* honoring the 1980 U.S. hockey team for that year's Olympics.

.......

1980?

19-fucking-80?

For a forty-fucking-five years old achievement?

oooooookay

Okay, that wasn't nothing.

Considering that Trump was well over 90 minutes late for this folderol, I don't blame @atrupar.com for bowing out of watching this particular shit show.

wait, as a product? *starts looking online*

You realize that it means that 10 minutes from now, he'll finally show?

They're trying to color-match some spackle for his hand.

I mean, yes, it could be today, but it's not going to be today.

We're not that lucky.

I figure either his meds are taking longer than normal to kick in, or they're still trying to match a color of spackle for his hand.

And then there's the "not medications".

No, no, get your mind out of the gutter, I mean touching up his clown makeup, and trying (and probably failing again) to cover the bruises on his hand with something that looks vaguely natural or appropriate.

Look, I don't really know why he's late. I'm not a doctor, and I'm not in Trump's inner circle, nor do I want to be.

But he's 79 years old. He's certainly taking a few medications.

And if my mother is anything to go by, there's always a strong chance of "I'm going to need a few more minutes."

This is a terrible idea, because it will be used to censor any opinion considered unpopular.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

That's just wrong.

I mean, come on.

That might ruin the cheeses.

Put a couple drop-cloths down first.

Imma go with "NOPE!"

(I'm already afraid of heights.)

Yeah, but Trump's never been interested in forgiveness, much less permission.

A friend of mine ran a table-top Rogue Trader game several years ago.

I got to be the Captain of the ship, although they wouldn't let me name the ship after my character.

Like I said yesterday, there's going to be Disney execs asking, 10 minutes into this "HOW ARE THEY MAKING DISNEY PORN? DID NO ONE DOUBLE-CHECK THIS?"
