Well that went dark quickly


Did the prostitute have to be a minor? Went to a pretty sinister place for a brief second there, for what is essentially a comedy.

Otherwise an enjoyable movie.

Yes. It was funny that Sen. Jackson co-founded a Coalition for "Moral Order" and he couldn't have done any worse for the image of an ultra conservative, being caught with a prostitute, a minor AND a black girl.

Plus it made the news of his death on the phone that much funnier, because the situation for Hackman's character got worse and worse with each word.

They don't call me Col. Homer cause I'm some dumbass army guy!

reply

I never understood the black part. Is it immoral to sleep with a black person? Seems like a nonissue.

reply

He is supposed to be so far right that he is also a racist. Yes it would be a non issue to most people now--but an ultra far right person would STILL be worked up over inter racial mating.

reply

So, far right people are all racists? How brainwashed you are.

reply

look @ the current news

reply

Which one? The one that shows a certain group committing heinous crimes with no remorse? or that same group committing petty crimes and thinking that it doesn't mean they should be arrested and resist until dying?

Found the nazi 👆

Found the midwit with mental illness who exclusively votes against their interests.

reply

To be fair, he did not say ALL far right people are racist.

You might be delusional if you think that is a significant voter base any politician would try to please.

reply

When a Senator is pandering to the straight white racist crowd, the news he got was the worst possible.

reply

Nope. For example, Trump panders to his racist demographic without actually using the word n*gger.

That is why Trump can call for the execution of black kids who were cleared of a crime.
It is why Trump is completely comfortable with his antisemitism.
It is why Trump thought he could deny rentals to minorities.
It is why Trump opposes the removal of confederate monuments that were erected during the early days of the civil rights movement.
It is why Trump says there were good people on both sides at a protest involving nazis.
It is why Trump can hardly being himself to condemn nazis, and only does so after being heavily criticized.

I would say that you are rather naive and have a lead a very sheltered life.



reply

Yup. You are insane.
Why do you think so many Black and Latino voters support Trump?
I am sure you will have a very racist response.

reply

Same reasons others do. They wish they could sexually assault women as a perk of wealth, skip out on debts, claim to not be responsible for anything, claim fraud anytime something does not go their way, and in general act like a child instead of being a responsible adult.

Since you're so desperate to to see racism in anything, you can shove that up your butt.

reply

Yup.
Confirmed insane racist idiot based on your own words.
Sadly typical for you and your ilk.
Carry on.

reply

I said nothing about race in my comments about why people support Trump. Why do you see racism in those comments when they are not there? Are you that desperate for validation?

reply

You were replying about latino and black voters. lol.
You are very confused.
Everything you believe is a lie.

None of that happened, but you think it did because you are a patron of deceitful liars.

reply

It is easy to find proof Trump said or did these things. Why do you prefer to remain ignorant? Some of this stuff was widely reported in the media, were you in a coma since the 1970's?

I renew my original point.

Case and point, your link.
None of that happened. You are so disillusioned you cannot comprehend how disillusioned you are.

reply

No, i think they happened because they were well documented by reliable sources.

Do you think Trump is perfect and can do not wrong? I think the reason we have terrible politicians in DC is because of people like you.

reply

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

You only prove my point even more.
I despise Trump. I have hated him since the 90s.
However, the TRUTH is far more important. You clearly have no interest in reality/truth. You only want your own opinions confirmed.

You are a joke.

Get a grip on reality.

reply

I don't need validation from the likes of you.

reply

Are you for real?!
Clearly you cannot defend your own argument and have defaulted to ego defense. lol
So sadly typical.
