spot on about you know who
no he was a coward for denying that the film was about (((them)))
>MAKE AMERICA TRUMP GREAT AGAIN
>Would you make a film about the America of Trump as a horror movie?
>CARPENTER: No. It’s too real and awful. I truly am scared for my country right now. We’re in really dangerous times.
collider.com
Because it isn't
fuck off Carpenter, we all know Brando was the only good shitposting celebrity anyway
epic retard
wow, I'm not even a die-hard right winger and Carpenter sounds like an enormous faggot. What is there to be scared of anyway? is there really right-wing death squads gunning down brown people every nano second?
>implying people weren't saying this about the last election too
>didn't even deny he's john carpenter
lmao you are a shitty hack of a director and I'm sure adreinne barbeau was fucking niggers behind your back
From the man himself.
did he imply the jews don't control the world tho?
they probably didn't like that either
>What is there to be scared of anyway?
Literally nothing.
Unless you are a criminal the only real effect of the Trump presidency is lower taxes and more economic opportunity. None of the apocalyptic rhetoric from the left about how Trump would incite war and ruin everything has come to pass.
>While I had him, I felt compelled to mention They Live!, the loopy 1988 B-picture that stands out as most overtly political film he ever made, a clear-eyed critique of capitalist rot at the end of the Reagan era. Something about his sinister business dudes, secret grotesque aliens under their bold ties and hair-sprayed coifs, seemed newly relevant in the age of Trump?
>“No screaming shit!,” says Carpenter. “Yes, he is the epitome of that. It’s unbelievable. A lot of people are buying that shit. That’s what I can’t believe. I don’t have the answer to that. People just take They Live! as a low-budget science fiction movie, which is fine. But it’s the way things are now! It’s bad news,” he says.

>no screaming shit
clearing he wasn't writing the dialogue to his films
Wow he really doesn’t know anything about a movie he himself made huh?
If he told the truth he would be destroyed by the media of course he lied.
He didn’t make that movie
I'm a great director, I'm a better director then you are and you don't know her so keep your faggot mouth shut. I made Halloween, what the fuck have you done with your life?
Both political sides are cancer and dangerous. Making a movie about what is wrong with one side is pretty gay.
>Both political sides are cancer and dangerous.
only one side has actually attacked and injured people in the streets
Exactly, trump supporters.
nope. try again, and this time turn off cnn
Turn off /pol/
And go back to /pol/
>e-everything I d-don’t like is /pol/!
>/pol/
>MUH /POL/
Obsessed.
you are not going to tell me that abortion clinic bombers and some these recent shooters do not belong to one of these sides?
It was a commentary on 1980s consumerism dingus. They Live is a lousy analogue for Trump. Like him or not he wasn't part of the political establishment and the establishment has been freaking out ever since he got elected.
You got it all backwards user
>Jewish control is a slander and a lie
Then directly below all you see is "This Tweet is unavailable"
Aren't those abortion clinic bombings from over a decade ago and i don't think those shooters were trump supporters.
El Paso shooter was right wing, Dayton shooter on the exact same day was a socialist. Most of them are just lunatics.
2 mass shootings are also statistically irrelevant in a nation of 320 million people. If you think political policy effecting the entire population can be justified by the actions of a handful of loonies then you aren't very bright.
Not to mention more people die in gang related shootings in major cities every week.
Jews only control the places that matter in the world. There is no such thang as jewish controlled China or Saudi Arabia.
I was talking about the extreme right and extreme left that has people throwing concrete milkshakes at people.
He just assumed things were going to keep going in the direction they were already heading. He was right. There's no reason inequality shouldn't grow over time and even accelerate in its growth when there are no incentives in place to rein it in. The creative part is in imagining the side effects of it. The poor turning into the propagators of their own subjugation and misery though is a really interesting consequence when your intuition would lead you to believe that as inequality grows you'd get rebellions, revolts, protects, etc. All those guns in the U.S. getting pointed at the masters rather than the other slaves so to speak. Never happened and long before it does, every American will have been disarmed.
The Trump guy who drove into a crowd yes?
This image is modern poetry.
He didn't hurt a single human being.
He did.
Name one.
and car crashes out do them both.
That woman Heather? He hit her with his car.
It wasn’t a prediction, it was a fact of reality post-WW2. Thinly veiled propaganda has been a core component of the first world for a long time user.

She died of a stroke according to the autopsy.
>muh violent Trump supporters!
For every random crazy right-wing nutjob there are 50+ attacks and murders carried out by anti-Trump lunatics against innocent people.
The whole violent nationalist narrative is literal fake news and only the extremely deluded buy into it.
Happens alot these days. 40 people died in a gang related shooting in Chicago? ignored. A single black man gunned down by police? top story for a week.
The news around here in Florida barely report actual crimes. The gang related stuff is ignored in favor of something retarded like a string of burglaries in a random area. Meanwhile the area where a SWAT team were called into a CVS pharmacy is called "up and coming" and they encourage more people (read: whites) to move in.
meh, gang members are a waste of life. we need to purge the prisons and streets of these people.
name one thing to support that.
impossible mode: incels projections don't count
Caused by the collision.
He was found guilty of murder too btw.
Have sex Nazi scum
You sound like a Russian bot trying to spread division and distrust in the US political system.
go back. seriously
>and more economic opportunity
What exactly did Trump's admin do that allowed this? Is this that repeat where the long-term effects of the dems are felt when republicans get into power, the republicans run everything into the ground for better gains of the ultrarich, which are then felt when a dem gets back into power?
I've been here since 2008.
Why would you lie. I only started seeing your post here as of 2016.
Fuck off incel
Yes because the party that wants both free healthcare for all and open borders know exactly how the economy works.
>Why would you lie.
I agree, it wouldn't make any sense to lie, that's why I don't.
>I only started seeing your post here as of 2016.
Sounds like you've been here since 2016 then.
Historically it's always under Republican presidencies that recessions happen.
If he slanders his holders they'll take his videogames away
And fists and hammers are more prevalent in deaths than rifles.
>and open borders
What kind of retard actually believes this?
Anything that isn't The Wall(TM) is literally open borders dystopia.
>>what the fuck have you done with your life?
not him but he told you to fuck off, that's something :^)
Yes. Because there is no other factor or cause to recessions, only a sitting President who is a Republican.
Well one other factor is phoneposting Zoomers who refuse to contribute to society
I watched the Dem debates you fucking idiot. That Castro faggot literally wants to decriminalize border crossings, and every other candidate wants to allow illegals to vote.
>Historically low unemployment
>Historically high stock market across the board
>Low taxes
>Booming industries/ investment
>Falling crime rates
>Cuts to government waste
>Renegotiated trade deals in favor of USA
Face it, Trump has been doing a great job and there's nothing you can do about it.
That's specifically why you elect Republicans. Controlled economic demolition to spend all your money acquiring assets you made in the Democrat phase.
>illegal immigration at an all-time high
lel
>decriminalize border crossings
>Open borders
Do you only watch Fox News or something? It would still be a civil offense
>Anything other than a working border is open borders dystopia.
You do realize there is no middle solution for this right? You are either for a strong border or an open border.
That's not open borders you retard.
During a Democratic debate the question was asked if the candidates support providing free healthcare to illegal aliens. Every single one of them raised their hands.
You don't have to like Trump but if you don't want him to get reelected than you are an absolute retard.
>>Cuts to government waste
>Forcing all your employees to go to Trump properties and hold events at Trump properties to waste money so that the Trump family can accrue more money
>You are either for a strong border or an open border.
Not allowing punishments for illegals is essentially making an open borders country you fucking dumbass.
>if you don't want him to get reelected than you are an absolute retard.
... or you just don't like the sight of your leader sucking Saudi Arabian cock.
>illegal immigration at an all-time high
This really isn't true, nor is any of it Trump's fault. He's been trying to tighten up the border as much as he can, but keeps getting blocked by our corrupt government.
Give me a middle solution then.
It is true.
>corrupt government
Trump is the government.
>we don't have an open border
>but we wont punish you if you cross over
>wink wink
Kill yourself
>but if you don't want him to get reelected than you are an absolute retard.
I'd really rather not keep weakening environmental protections across the US, letting people go deep into debt because of unavoidable medial issues, and continuing to prop up terrible governments like the one currently in control of Israel
>Trump is the government.
go back to 8th grade
>WAR GOOD
>WAR GOOD

Why even have diplomacy and peace when you can just get people killed for no reason?
Learn about the three branches you insufferable zoomer.

>we wont punish
I wonder what you people think a civil offense is
>three branches
yep and trump isnt all 3. god damn you are stupid
>when you can just get people killed for no reason?
You mean like supplying Saudi Arabia with weapons?
Before Election:
>Trump will cause a nuclear war! A Trump presidency means economic disaster and global catastrophe! We have to save the world and stop him!
After Election:
>OMG Pence stayed at a Trump hotel! He's destroying this country, he's literally Hitler! REEEEEEEE!
Back to pol you tourist
No the zoomer is right. You’re just some insane schizo.
Guess which branch is the administration of the government zoomer.
>OMG Pence stayed at a Trump hotel!
>he's literally Hitler
I don't think these two statements have been said relating to each other. Do you have any examples?
>strawmanning
for fucks sake dude you are thick as pig shit
These people would have you ruin your country financially in other, better ways, it seems.
>Trump can't get it done
How is that not his fault? There's no excuse for incompetence. Dealing with senate and congress is part of the job.
He just made a very clever metaphor a lot of people can relate to
>Dealing with senate and congress is part of the job.
Right, and vice versa. one wining over the other does not imply incompetence
In ways that don't destroy the earth
This. Sorry folks, the world is black and white despite what all your media bullshit tries to feed you about shades of grey. On a football field it's one team v.s. another. That's it. One team wins, one team loses. There isn't a third team that plays in between those teams. You pick a side and you fight for your team. That's how it works.
That isn’t Obama tho. Among other things.

Immigration is his pet issue though, why is this the one where he chooses to hiss the white flag?
I’m voting for Trump this coming election and believe that he is the best Republican to ever become President. That being said he deserves to be called out on immigration.
List of things Trump can do but hasn't done:
>end DACA in 90 days (with court approval)
twitter.com
>shut down the U.S./Mexico border to all immigration while keeping commerce flowing
conservativereview.com
>detain all newly-arrived aliens for a "sufficient time" for the purposes of medical quarantine
conservativereview.com
>I don't think these two statements have been said relating to each other. Do you have any examples?
Hyperbolic statements like these are actually pretty common in the mainstream media. The point is that before the election a possible Trump presidency was talked about in dire, apocalyptic terms. Huffpost even had a doomsday clock counting down towards the inauguration where Trump would 'get the nuclear codes'.
Today the talking heads are reduced to whining about petty non-issues in order to distract from Trump's winning streak.
Three years on and the average American has been relatively unaffected by the election, save for maybe having more money in the bank.
>he is the best Republican to ever become President.
Don't insult Teddy like that
You shouldn't question the president. Especially one as successful as Trump.
That's nothing.
the el paso shooter killed who he thought were mexicans becasue he thought thats what president trump wanted
the christchurch shooter was unapologetically a dank memer or some shit and loved /pol/
also some retard bodyslammed a kid for not taking off his hat during the anthem and that guy "was only doing what he thought trump wanted" according to one of the lawyers at his hearing
those are just the top of my head
but yeah the dayton shooter was a lib? or something and said he'd vote for warren, but you'd have to connent ideologies there, and that shooting targeted his sister as well, so fuck iunno maybe people are just fucking bonkers and take shit to far
I don't think its cool for me to blame trump or the warren for any shootings tho just sayion
>propaganda only began to exist when Trump was elected
What did they mean by this?
America is getting 110 billion for weapons?
Nice
>I’m voting for Trump
Enjoy your dead Earth lol.
I voted for Trump mostly due to the fact that women have gotten too much power.
I won't sugarcoat it, I'm a 35 year old virgin due to feminism. Because of Obama and the liberal agenda, women are taught to be sluts and fuck every Chad out there with a nice car. But the guys like me? I don't spend my money on fancy things, I like anime, and my disability prevents me from working out or going out to bars and clubs.
But now? women will dress modestly again, and look toward men like me. I have a stable income from Social Security, I live in a safe neighborhood with my elderly parents, I'm straight edge, and I'm a nice guy.
Sorry for the rant but this shit really drives me up a wall. I think the next few years are gona be a nice return to the gender politics of the 50s, which were way more balanced towards men AND women
>America is getting 110 billion for weapons?
>Nice
>every single bit of this is wrong
whats with the fucking bots on here lately?
I always hear this but isn't it dumb to compare cars to guns? like, more americans die to heart disease than anything so having no restrictions to vehicles makes sense? it's such a drunk boomer argument
Lol pussy
this is so sad to see. please get help
Have any of the Dems proposed plans involving nuclear power and restrictions on immigration? Because any solution that doesn’t include those two things aren’t serious solutions.
It isn't much at all in the States, you tool. A civil offense typically is a fine, if anything at all. So a one-time fee to come into the country and use all the social programs without paying into them sounds to be like a pretty open borders idea.
>and restrictions on immigration?
I really would love to see the argument for the relevancy of this
but Carpenter said that it wasn't about zionist? what gives
I'm for a strong border which is why I oppose the wall and suggest an alternate system comprised of networks of drones and automated terminator like soldiers that kill anyone who's too brown on sight if the are anywhere in America. Give me $5 today
Warren said she's going to ban nuclear power.
>a one-time fee
Why do you think it would be one-time? They could still get deported, just wouldn't go to jail
>omg le erth is gonna blow up1!11 enjoy your dead erf!!1
I will enjoy it, faggot. Stay mad.
fucking why?
Trump is profiting off his position as president by having the government spend money at his properties. Should that be allowed? Was it allowed for any other president?
I love my man Teddy as much as you do user. But even when Trump fucks up he’s still a better president. humanevents.com
>Trump is a great president
sure is sharpie in here
Zoomers aren't capable of feeling anything.
Because she watched Chernobyl on HBO. Nuclear bad!
she said it's because the nuclear industry is mainly run by white men and it's time for more "HERstory, not HIStory"
If you aren't understanding it, let me explain: it points out that the mass shootings, or shootings in general, are widely overblown as though they are widely prevalent and neverending. But if you scale back, you find that it is far less than car accidents, suicides, gang shootings, etc. It's surprising that gangs commit the majority of gun crime in all major US cities, but these same cities have the strictest gun laws--which do nothing to prevent the gang violence. But instead of focusing on large scale gang violence, the blame is pointed on guns and the minimal mass shootings there are become justification for the gun debate.
I know these are jokes but they are believable
>strawmanning
As I expected from a brainlet like you.
This. Every single fucking one of those shooters was a black OBAMA SUPPORTER. And that's only counting the ones that actually happened, which might be like one of those.
Everyone knows this is true and it's hilarious to watch Yea Forums jews try to deny it.
lmao of course she is.

He's incapable. Either he can get things done or he can't. So far he's been weak and suffered defeat after defeat in the courts. Wheres that travel ban? Why's the border unsecure? Why isn't Mexico paying for the wall? Why isn't Hillary in jail? If he can't do it then he can't do it. Can he or not? Which is it? Are we supposed to just sit with our thumbs up our asses and wait like good boys or should we find someone who will accomplish what he can't? It's fucking infuriating
Because deportations, unfortunately, aren't carried out as punishment nearly as often as they ought to be. Deportations also come with jail time. You typically need to be arrested before you're deported. Bigger issue though is, instead of fortifying the border and tightening the laws, people would prefer to decriminalize the crossing or lessen the penalty for it. Thus far most people deported wind up sneaking BACK into the country. Why would making it easier to cross in here change that in any way?

It's no joke. The media puts out anti-nuclear propaganda like Chernobyl regularly to scare dipshit normies into not supporting the development of nuclear tech.

Bro, Obama bought a multi-million dollar mansion in Martha's Vineyard. Meanwhile President Trump isn't even taking a salary for his office. He does it for free.

That's a strange synonym for "watching a shit ton of television."

His salary is breadcrumbs compared to the money he makes by letting politicians stay at Trump Hotels.

Interesting tactic to talk about other countries than just giving a percentage of their CO2 impact over the entire population of the US which would be much more relevant.
Also much more importantly, how much more (or less) do immigrants produce in terms of CO2 compared to the average American? This excerpt is suspiciously missing this data

That was a very weak deflection bro.

But you don't. You never cared. You just want to hurt whitey.

>Trump became President of the United States to make MORE MONEY!
This is the dumbest shit ever. Donald Trump is a billionaire in his own right and has by all accounts lost an untold amount of money from both his campaign and his actions as president. That doesn't even include the opportunity costs of neglecting his business ventures in favor of public service.
Please educate yourself you 80IQ, blue-pilled mongoloid.
>the issue of gun violence is overblown so we shouldn't do anything at all to mitigate it, in fact we should ignore it completely
tell me why that makes any sense. It seems like a disingenuous way to attempt to get people to stop trying to regulate guns. It's weak and transparent, isn't it? Do you really think that convinces anyone of anything?
there wasnt a single dayton shooter. holy fuck actually look things up for yourself and stop sucking cable news' dick
>all government business
wow that's a lot of business. sounds like he will need 100 more hotels to accommodate all of that
>if you dislike Trump's environmental policies then you love China and India!!
No, you retard. You're reaching very hard in order to feel like a victim because that's what you love the most.
Also interesting how instead of confronting me calling out how these statistics aren't actually comparing immigrant CO2 production to the people who live in the county they moved to, you decide to change topics to avoid it entirely. Neato

Like I said, you don't care. You just proved me right again.
This. Add to that the fact that he no longer operates his own businesses and has had to relegate control to his family, while simultaneously becoming the public face of "hateful bigotry" in the eyes of most of the cities he bases his properties out of. For all the public smearing he and his ENTIRE family get, anybody thinking his presidency was to gain more money has no clue how economics works in the slightest. Some politicians staying his properties he USED TO OWN for only a handful of stays during a 4-8 year period =/= massive moneymaking scheme.

Multiple people are complaining about officials staying in Trump hotels. Compared to the pre-election rhetoric of how Trump is literally Hitler, this is the pettiest shit ever.
I do, that's why I brought it up schizo.
Here's a disingenuous idea for you: the states with the strictest gun laws in the entire country have the HIGHEST GUN CRIME in the country. States with clear-cut open carry don't. Cities like Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago are littered with gangbangers shooting one another on the regular, and these progressive states' strict laws have done nothing to limit this. In fact, criminals just use the guns illegally regardless, and get them elsewhere. I didn't say ignore it completely, so put those words back into your own mouth and quit trying to strawman an argument out of me, you prick.
>this is the pettiest shit ever.
I mean it is actually against the law to attempt to benefit financially from your position of power as the president, but what else is new
Okay so any violation that's not as bad as "literally Hitler" can be ignored altogether.
I mean I guess but you’re just arguing against common sense. As millions come here, more vacant land disappears, animal habitat disappears, more urban poor and sectarian strife. More pollution. Approximately 60% of the earth's flora and fauna has already disappeared. More drugs and gangs. Murder rates increase. A moratorium has to be imposed on ALL immigration. If no action is taken, the U.S. is doomed.
Because it’s literally a non issue.
>I mean it is actually against the law to attempt to benefit financially from your position of power as the president, but what else is new
Yeah, you're supposed to wait until *after* you finish your term where you get paid millions to do speeches for executives or have a biography no-one will buy ghost-written for you
No, you don't. You just want to attack the West, you chinky poo.
