    Nah, appleseed is too dark and broody for Marvel's brand of lighthearted quips. He would most definitely be a DCU villain. :p

    One of the crazier things about the Trump investigation is that it feels like AT MOST Trump will get booted out of office. He might have been involved in countless illegal activities in the past and some in the present and yet...if found guilty he’ll never go to prison. His punishment will merely be early retirement. Good lord.

    @The Regular Mustache

    There is a podcast by a couple prominent attorneys (forget their names) that was made a few months ago. Basically they said the Stormy Daniels case alone puts Trump in major jeopardy to wind up behind bars let alone all the other stuff. Again the great unknown though it is Fox News. I truly believe had that network existed in the 1970's, Nixon would survive Watergate. But Trump's actions are much much much worse then Nixon so in the end, that might be enough. I hope at least.

    I listened to a podcast, by two prominent finance experts, who told me the economy was about to collapse...

    That one guy who accurately predicted the past several elections later said Trump won't last a full term.

    Economics is a real science. It's just that economists don't actually use it.

    Gotta admit that it's a pretty unique defense: yes, we profited from illegally obtained info from Russia, but it was more like a gift that we took advantage of. Haha! You see?! No collusion whatsoever.

    Nah, Snyder's movies are too uplifting to fit my worldview. Start with Kurosawa, his bleakness and lack of hope is how I view things.

    Although as a huge Superman fan, Snyder's movies offend me to no end.

    Don't get too excited. This is exactly the kind of thing he'll waste millions of dollars of taxpayer money appealing to the Supreme Court.

    They messed with Donald's Twitter. That's tantamount to assailing his manhood. He's not going to just let it drop.

    Oh, I know! But just the fact the courts are having to tell the President of the United States how to use his own Twitter was just too LOL-worthy for me.

    Sometimes I have to laugh or I'll cry. :p

    EDIT: And the fact that he's invariably going to waste time and resources fighting this only adds to the hilarity.

    This thread has been fun today. I’ve gone from imagining @appleseed reading Stephen King tweets in Christian Bale’s voice to imagining Trump throwing both Big Macs across the room in a raging tantrum because he has to read his @‘s from “haters and losers.”

    “Sons of *****es!!! HATERS!” Like the Old Man in A Christmas Story yelling at the Bumpuses about their dogs.

    Actually, I see Trump more like in "The Untouchables", only he's not as cool as De Nero.



    NSFW.

    Hipsters are going to be buying these off of ebay for fifty cents a pop in about two years.

    I don't think you need to take economics seriously as a science to know this country is headed for a financial crisis.

    Interesting quote from James Clapper's new book.

    “Of course the Russian efforts affected the outcome. Surprising even themselves, they swung the election to a Trump win. To conclude otherwise stretches logic, common sense, and credulity to the breaking point."

    I mean, Jake Clapper's a liar, and I have no interest in whatever spin he's going to put on his lies, but he's been essentially non-partisan ever since JFK, so that's interesting.

    EDIT: James Clapper. Jake Tapper. Will I ever be right the first time I mention one of them?

    Kushner got his full security clearance back today.

    This occurred after a second sit-down with Mueller and his team that lasted seven hours and took a deep dive into his foreign connections.

    Which means Mueller may not have anything on him after all.

    That's a White House decision, not the FBI and besides, they know they're getting away with everything.
