Didn't everyone start off with a year in that movie?

That was the most unrealistic part, they'd absolutely make you pay upfront or you would just die instantly the moment you hit 21 or whatever the age limit was.

He added that he is sure if he was told there was evidence a journalist or agent had blagged information, he would "have been pretty furious".

I'm sure he would be furious. Evidence is the last thing that they want.

The only preposterous thing in this enquiry is the fact that it took so long to get to this point.

I have colleagues who don't read emails, so I guess it's possible.

But given the fact that he appears to be ignorant of fundamental US laws, I have to conclude that he didn't bother reading any of them.

I'm honestly surprised that some Hollywood action movie actor has never actually become president. I've honestly surprised it isn't Tom Cruise.

I literally took out a mortgage to buy my house. That's financing.

If I lose my job and I'm not able to find another one then the bank will repossess my house, but that doesn't make my purchase of my house a financially irresponsible decision. The repayments on my mortgage are considerably less than the rent that I used to pay, so I am much better off now than I was previously. Anyway I would have lost my rental had I stopped paying as well, so nothing's really changed.

He would be best to go back to Mexico on his own right now, or else he'll probably end up somewhere he doesn't want to be.

Of course, he's an idiot so this won't have occurred to him.

He openly admits that he doesn't actually know anything about the people he's voting for, and just votes for anyone who represents the republican party. He doesn't even know if he actually voted for Trump or not he just "suspects" that he probably did. This probably means he also doesn't bother to actually pay any attention to any of the policies of the republican party.

He just coasted through life without paying any attention or ever engaging in his brain. He's the reason that manufacturers had to start putting "don't drink bleach" warnings on bleach.

He's perfect. He should run for Congress

People like this should be sued for the oxygen they use.

History will remember these people in the same way it remembers those that tried to justify the slave trade.

They're completely unable to separate desire from reality. They want the situation to be x so they believe that it is x. They cannot understand that reality doesn't necessarily map to their desires. Which makes them considerably less intelligent than squirrels, who understand that, which is why they spend all summer stockpiling food.

I do not understand the cult of personality around Donald Trump he's the least appealing looking human who has ever existed, surely they could have found a more attractive cult leader. Most cults do.

Also how do you manage to get into politics and simultaneously be completely politically inept? You just get a free pass in the US if you just turn up?

When I first started I used to work at an absolute dumpster fire of a place, and even that only had one right wing guy and he was a conspiracy theorist who thought that the COVID vaccine contained nanobots. The guy who is supposedly an IT professional thinks we have nanobots.

He didn't last very long. Not because he was a conspiracy theorist, although for my part I would have been perfectly fine if that had been the reason, but because he was actually kind of useless at his job. It turns out that if you think we have a microscopic robotic technology then you're probably not as well versed in the industry as you are pretending to be.
