My money’s on: this movie is so bad they were hoping to trick people into thinking they’d be seeing the Batman film again in theaters.

Someone must have thrown a fish to a penguin there once, giving US a 100% trade deficit…

Seize that golf course!

The entities with the established distribution networks will make the money, not the little guy who makes their own little story.

If I write a little seld published novel, under your system, Hollywood can just take that story and make a movie of it without my permission. How is that better? You think more people pirating will take down these mega corps? Your system is chaos that’s even worse than the current model.

That’s a great plan for letting those mega corps steal from the little guy EVEN more than they already do

Yeah, but think about the grandchildren of the CEO who bought that IP from the artist‽

Do you want them to starve have to work for a living?

Well, artificially increasing the price of all the raw naturals we use to make those things will certainly help with that goal…

Ooh boy, does my retirement account feel liberated.

You understand that they waited until after all the corrupt agency heads were confirmed, and after the trash Republican budget was passed to pull this stunt, right?

You making moronic hypotheticals claiming you know me, because I think this obvious stunt was just that and not something helpful, doesn’t make it any more helpful

He waited 3 months to do this little playacting. This is his job. I’ve been doing mine this whole time. He was phoning it in up until last night. Let’s not pretend this makes up for the Democrats’ subservience up until now.

It’s astounding how stupid the people in this thread are. Do you not realize after doing fuck all to stop the confirmation of all the billionaires in this administration and the various agencies, talking a lot, is kind of a pathetic bit of “resistance”, especially since it isn’t even blocking anything since Congress hasn’t been involved in any of the ongoing coup.

Congress wasn’t doing shit to begin with. Nothing changed.

In what way is wanting our corporate dipshit party to stand up to the fascist racists for once…a right wing stance?

Or is it that everyone who isn’t gung ho about performace art after they let Republicans take a dump on the constitution, must also be a Republican?

I know it’s great pretending like the usual performative shit that Democrats have been doing for years will suddenly work this time, but telling people who’ve seen this same exact bullshit fail countless timeless to shuf up isn’t going to make it less useless this time around, either.

There’s one in the white house. Why don’t they seem to care about that one?

The Senate want voting on any bills at 3 in the morning. This didn’t impede business as usual in any way.

The rural xenophobic bigots would have had to go to the Republican party.

That did happen

And the Republicans fascists would have had to have gone to the Democratic party.

This did not. So where did you say the opposite of what this means?

What did speaking to an empty room in the middle of the night do to stop that bill?

Think how much more we’d be talking about it if they did someone useful instead of performative for once…

Weird for an antisemite to be concerned with looking into that.
