A huge chunk of Trump voters display cult-like tendencies. I think that documentary should do ok box-office wise. I don't know why they're trying to distribute it overseas though. That's ridiculous.

So apparently Melania did pretty well. It is expected to get over $8milion and be the best start for a doc (excluding concert films) in 14 years

It's not that much given that a lot of it probably comes from organized watching from conservative communities - they do that a lot for i.e. religious movies that gross about the same amount.

God's here.
One of the latest Kevin Sorbo movie.  It's about someone having a crisis of Faith.
2 000 000$ budget, grossed 64M$ in streaming and dvd sales worldwide.  61M$ in the US.

Dems just flipped a Texas district that hasn't gone democratic since 91. Valmy what say ye?

97.

And while we thought we had a good chance after the Dem got 48% in the first round the scale of the ass kicking was surprising. Not sure what to make of it.

Some parochial things going on with the Republican Candidate being the wife of the former senator might have played a part.

Also this election is just a temporary deal. We will do it all over again in November.

What is interesting to me is now that we finally replaced that dead congressional rep, almost a year after he died, will the Republicans in the House refuse to swear him in like they did with that Arizona seat.

I found Trump's answer to the media amusing.

"There was an election? Where? Texas? Don't know anything about that.  They ran without me, had nothing to do with that, people lose, that happens".

Dude was on Truth the day before asking his voters to support his friend.

It is the way White Anglos have told us and continue to tell us that if you are white only English is acceptable.

More like English is the only acceptable language in Canada, and White (Anglo Saxon Protestant) is the only way to live in Canada.

There is some resurgence lately of the White and English thing everywhere in Canada, even in Quebec <sigh>.

Just goes to show.  You can try to make AIs more intelligent.  Or you can try to make the seem more like humans.  But you can't do both.

Like how Scientology made all its members see Battlefield Earth multiple times.

Trump audibly shitting himself during a press conference, that is.

Apparently, it's miscaptioned.
