I'm headed to NYC this weekend and will be seeing Glengarry Glen Ross on Monday starring Kieran Culkin, Bob Odenkirk, Bill Burr, and Michael McKean...and a few others.

I've always been a fan of This is Spinal Tap, so I'm going to try to get Michael McKean to sign the insert of my DVD. I hoping it's uncommon enough that if he exits the theater and sees it that he'll be kind enough to sign it. My chances are low (especially with bad weather), but I'm gonna give it a go. Fingers crossed.

According to Trumpists, basically every trade deal America has ever signed has been a bad deal, yet we are all supposed to cheer this one site unseen. If the Trumpists didn’t have double standards, they wouldn’t have any standards at all

There is always room for improvement. Things change over time, so it is possible that a deal years ago is no longer quite the deal it once was. This is a pretty obvious observation, but continue shitting on him with "hIs dEaL wAs SuPpOsEd tO bE gOoD aNd hE jUsT tOrE iT aPaRt!!! derp derp derp".

10-4. Thanks for the explanation. I'll see if there are some vids out there.

Why isn't this game "overwhelmingly positive" on Steam? If it were I would have bought it already.

The thing I like most about Gen X is we don't give a fvck. We dicked on our friends non-stop. You had to have tough skin. We took care of ourselves since our parents weren't home or honestly just wanted us out of the house even when they were home. Fights to settle childhood disputes..."community" Playboy magazines at the park...no social media to keep us in check. We had it pretty good growing up, but we also have had to work hard to get where we are now. I feel sorry for the generations after us and wish I could go back.

I’m okay if we kill Zelenskyy. frick that guy.

Yeah, I saw the Buddy Guy scene, but not the other one. Decent film.

Nice touch.

If that doesn't underline who the thugs are, nothing will. Sheesh.

This is a loaded question.

Politicians have been grinding the gears of capitalism slowly over time with their reckless spending resulting in additional burden on the American people.

Trump recognized that we cannot continue doing business like this (both in spending and trade), or we are destined to not be great again. Something had to change.

Trump decided to, for the first time in my lifetime, actually do something. I applaud that.

The WAY in which Trump is doing it is (and not unexpectedly) is extremely disruptive to the stock market and, more importantly, to businesses.

The art of the deal is great when you're negotiating something small. Using it on something like tariffs is going to make huge waves and paralyze businesses. Is being this disruptive necessary to get us where we need to be? I don't know, but it's his job to do it and if he's willing to take the heat then I'm willing to watch my IRAs shrink with the belief that we'll get to a new steady-state and we'll rise again.

Trump was an absolute dumbass to put into question the Fed's independence. That's a bridge too far, and I think he finally got the message.

Other than that, all politicians over the past decades get the blame -- including Trump. The buck stops at the top.
