@realDonaldTrump

Great bipartisan response and support in Congress for the Motion Picture, Television, and Entertainment Revitalization Act.
We will bring this once great industry BACK TO AMERICA.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!

President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump has goals for a propaganda machine like North Korea's film industry.

Reading his post, he seems to be focused on bringing production "back" to Hollywood, and California in general. Georgia's not going to be thrilled by that.

Trump does remember that he hates California, right? That it's a failed socialist state that is going to kick his ass electorally? That it's full of commies, etc.?

Also, all these American films made overseas? They use American money and employ Americans to make them. You know...more paid work! Because the inflated costs of working in the USA mean fewer film shoots are affordable there. That's why they went overseas!

I suspect they don't even have to pass this bill. Just keep telling Donny they are shooting Home Alone 3 and that he will have another starring role in it. That will keep him quiet until he falls asleep again.
 
This seems as good a place to ask as any: have the trumpkins received their marching orders wrt data centers yet? I've seen lots of whining and gnashing of teeth the past few days over Drumpf supporting data centers, but they have a tendency to be good cultists and fall in line with opinions that run 100% contrary to what they believe in eventually, even if it takes several days?

I think there's about 25-30% who would stomp on a puppy if he asked them to. But that number has been decreasing lately with affordability, war, etc. He takes the one issue most everybody agrees with and opposes it because he has millions invested in the data center industry.

The Arcons haven't gotten marching orders yet it seems and they aren't even talking about to avoid the usual shoegazing and "bad optics" comments. You have to realize that the arcons often make a point of ignoring the posts from Trump because they realize those posts are embarrassing. They tend to stick discussion of his actions - you won't see them talking much about his Hollywood babbling either.

Fox News complains that underage teenage girls aren’t getting pregnant enough:

“The problem is teens and young adults. From ages 15-19, the fertility rate is down 70% in the last 2 decades, which means we are telling people who are young not to have babies.”

Up is bad. Down is bad. The same is bad. One might happen to conclude that the problem actually lies elsewhere when they're complaining about that. Again.

Also, that's a dumb conclusion. There are a bunch of factors that influence teen pregnancy. Telling them not to have babies is probably not even a main driver, even if it is pretty ubiquitous.

There's a certain portion of Christianity that actually wants what they believe to be the end times and support shaping events to match those in the book of Revelation. Generally, that segment of them believe in the Rapture, incidentally, under the assumption that they'll be taken to Heaven and all their worldly trials and suffering will simply end, while those they dislike will suffer extremely greatly.

The pain, exhaustion, and vindictiveness underlying much of the attraction to such a world view to all that are understandable, really, especially when their religious leaders have a long history of effectively being in cahoots with and pandering to the rich oppressors that have invested significant resources into making them exhausted and exploitable. The whole thing is rather damning, regardless.

That's mighty Christian of them.

Q: The war in Iran has escalated. In March, you said it would be over 'in short order.' We are now in a trade war with Canada, and ranchers are concerned about Trump's beef imports. He has tried to change the name of a Great Lake and threatened to demolish the Kennedy Center. Are these moves you support?

Mike Johnson: The executive branch is doin' their thing.

Yeah, that's the concern.

So, when did you convert?

While the Quran establishes the baseline for self-preservation under duress, the specific rule permitting tactical deception on the battlefield comes from the Hadith (the recorded traditions of the Prophet Muhammad) rather than a direct Quranic mandate.
The Prophet Muhammad famously stated, "War is deception" (Al-Harbu Khud'ah). In mainstream Islamic jurisprudence, this is interpreted as a standard rule of military strategy. It allows for classic wartime maneuvers like misdirecting enemy troops about travel routes, feigning strength, or setting up ambushes. However, mainstream scholars emphasize that this does not permit out-and-out treachery, such as breaking formal peace treaties or violating safe-passage agreements. The Quranic concept often cited regarding concealing information or outward alignment under threat is known as taqiyya (religious dissimulation or caution). This concept is primarily derived from two major surahs
