QMany Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 In light of today's pardons/commutations, remember when @Notre Dame Joe and others tried to rationalize bribing Ukraine as "Trump cares about corruption." Looking at this List of people granted executive clemency by Donald Trump and their charges, some common themes seem to hit home with this Administration. 2 1 Link to comment

Sending a signal that his cronies can count on him to pardon them. Exactly what I was thinking. I've commuted the sentence of the Dem Gov- I can do the same in an 'impartial' way with my friends.

QMany Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Fraud, corruption, extortion, and lying to investigators are Trump's only true policies. Oh, and white supremacy and misogyny. Link to comment

teachercd Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Anyone seen Parasite? I have only heard that it is "good" from people that have watched it. Link to comment
Moiraine Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Trump Jr. calling Brad Pitt an elitist is laughable. He grew up in Oklahoma and Missouri, and I assume had a middle class upbringing. One thing I find really weird is people scoffing so much when an actor has an opinion. A lot of actors came from poor and middle class families. And then even when they get rich a lot of them continue to be against policies that help the rich and hurt the poor. 1 Link to comment

Well, Pitt was a Frat guy and lord knows lots of people hate frat guys and think they are elitist. He also went to University of Mizzo...so...well...that is a strike! But he managed to make Troy a good movie even though the box office poison Eric Bana was in it, so that is impressive. Link to comment

I guess I don't think that just because you were born into money that you are an elitist. I don't think you think that that either. Just like I don't think that if you are in a frat that you are an elitist...I also don't think you think that. My guess, because I don't know either of them, is that they are probably pretty freaking normal, with the exception that Pitt looks like he was made in a lab or possibly that he was the man they were going to use if they were to reboot Weird Science but with female high school nerds.

Is this the celebrity who flies around on a private jet to lecture the rubes about the dangers of carbon emissions? A man's net worth doesn't affect my view of his opinions as much as what he does with it. Link to comment

Donald Trump Jr is definitely elitist and he learned it from his dad who is an elitist who learned it from his dad who was an elitist. They view themselves above the rest. Fred Trump told little Donald he was better than those who didn't have and Donald took that worldview and ran with it. This is fairly well known information. 1 Link to comment
