Trump spokesman angry at fact

Sure it is possible. It will have a hard time though because so many people vote R or D without thinking about why.

If the “new” party could keep the Republican name it might have a fair chance of success (success == getting elected).

However you talk about it like it is a bad thing. It may not be your choice of policy’s, but wouldn’t it be better to have a choice of “more social programs” vs. “business friendly” as opposed to “more social programs” vs. “madman with the nuclear launch codes”?

But that’s the thing: white people get the benefit of the doubt of being “loners” and otherwise being judged on their own merits. Jews, meanwhile, get collectively judged based on our worst examples. We even have a word for this kind of behavior that negatively reflects on all of us in the eyes of non-Jews–chilhul hashem, literally “Desecration of the Name Of God”.

I see what you mean about the difference between personally feeling bad by association, and being actively blamed by association. I have Lapsed Catholic Guilt which lands me firmly in former predicament; however I’m not blamed for all the shite unleashed on the World by White Male Arseholes :wink:

Wasn’t that Natalie Portman’s first film? She did a good job.

TIL: Didn’t know the full title until this thread. I thought it was just The Professional.

Ted Cruz is so repellent he polls lower than Trump in his own state. He’s had his moment in the sun and has scurried back to the shadows.

In the past I was an airplane mechanic. I also find catastrophic structural failure, in any variety of materials, to be interesting. That doesn’t mean I’m excited to be on the aircraft when the wings are ripped off.[quote=“danimagoo, post:64, topic:83632”]
In all seriousness, though, this whole paid surrogates on all of the news talk shows every single day

Don’t forget the ones hired by those same ‘news’ talk shows…

I have some older conservative relatives who think trump is the creation of Clinton & Co in one epic trolley, which does make sense given the length of time the right has so happily lived and worked off stupid fucken conspiracy theories. It’s ‘Thanks Obama’ merged with the classic misogynistic right-wing Clinton hate-fest.

I thought it was just Léon.

It’s all of the above. It was originally released as Léon in France and most of Europe. In the United States it was theatrically released as The Professional but titled as Léon: The Professional for subsequent rebroadcasts and DVD releases.

Best part from the nytimes article:

After one Cohn coup, Mr. Trump rewarded him with a pair of diamond-encrusted cuff links and buttons in a Bulgari box. ... He did get to keep the cuff links Mr. Trump had given Mr. Cohn. Years later, Mr. Fraser had them appraised; they were knockoffs, he said.

Naturally. As my grandmother might’ve said, trump’s nothing more than a flim-flam man.

It’s all three. It was a lot of different titles depending on the country.
But for the USA theatrical release was The Professional and now the title is Léon:The Professional

I get the impression that because the guy was on a remote audio/video hookup, and he was talking when she said “the polls”, he simply didn’t hear her, so he doubles down on “says who!?” and makes it look like he’s denying the polls are bad. He’s also got this “pushy jerk” attitude which really magnifies the situation. A perfect storm for a perfect asshole.
