Not the original commenter but I'd wager similarly that yes, the vast majority of the American people are far too comfortable to venture into the "inconvenience" of an actual war. Gripe about it from our couches? Yep. Lift a finger to bring about actual change (and no, signing an online petition doesn't count) in the face of real, actual, severe consequence? ....nah.
As you do
I worry that we as a society have turned a corner and these kind of folks have been empowered to the point there's no going back. If they aren't latched into Trump, it'll just be the next DeSantis/Gaetz/MTG grifter they saddle up to.
How would a sham Supreme Court judge be removed? I know there was talk of impeaching them but... is that actually a thing?
Digital Cinema Package; basically the movie file you're watching when you're in a movie theater.
I, too, am a John Stewart connoisseur!
I thought the same thing, except this is line a reverse-Infamous plot where (presumably) Tony is Doom rather than Doom is Ironman.
I trust Marvel & the Russo Bros quite a bit at this point, but this is definitely a weird casting.
I really want to give him the entirely unwarranted benefit of the doubt that he's saying it won't matter in 4 years bc he won't be running (making the assumption he'll win this time and reach his term limit) but having watched the video I dunno, that "we'll have it fixed by then" sounds reeeeaaally ominous.
I just finished reading the LotR series with my now-11 yo son (we started a few years ago) and there were definitely plenty of sections like this that I converted to more understandable terms and concepts on the fly. Sure my son may not have heard this exact line, but he definitely got the idea that Shelob was old, bad, and Sauron had encouraged get 8 in exchange for a scary guard in the tunnels into Mordor.
