They must have been so pissed that the event that was supposed to celebrate them, was hijacked by the Narcissist in Chief.

personally i’d like to send some flowers to whoever programmed (more than once, i believe) the playing of ā€œFortunate Sonā€ (during the trump ā€œperadeā€). seems quite clear that a large subset of the military (any who weren’t selected to be right behind him at the podium…?) were sending code that they knew this was a travesty.

The closest things I saw to civilians on the Death Star were a princess they rescued and a garbage monster they didn’t, and it had destroyed a planet. Iran has about 90 million of them and is currently firing back at someone.

The movie plotline is about detailed plans of the Death Star being smuggled and chased, then used to arrange a very skilled and precise attack. In other words, they decided to know what they were doing before they did things.

I don’t really expect Cruz to understand his actual job, but I’m a bit surprised he doesn’t understand Star Wars.

Oh, sure, just go ahead and answer the question as soon as you ask, don’t give anyone else a chance…

I’m less surprised by that. Not understanding Star Wars – or really any popular culture where the fascists are the bad guys – is a whole Republican thing.

Cruz has been posting on Xitter all fucking day about that interview. He knows Carlson got the better of him. He’s been going on a Trumpian post storm.

With everything else going on I hadn’t heard about this outrageous effort to censor the shameful history of the incarceration of Japanese-American families at Manzanar:

Maybe it’s also a petty statement against Melania. There has been news coverage about him doing things typically handled by a First Lady. There was one about changes to the Rose Garden, another about him leading WH tours, as well as the renovations to create a ballroom…

Yeah, and the Japanese Americans’ Citizen’s League is on it. They’ve been on alert since before T**** 1.0. The JACL knows what American fascism looks like already.
