    Don't ever say that around my daughter, at least about The Last Jedi, unless you have 2 extra hours to hear her rant. It's one of her obsessions.

    The Force Awakens was fun. The Rise of Skywalker was unwatchable.

    A big problem was that they did not harmonize directorial visions in advance between Johnson and Abrams.

    Yeah they really didn't want this fight. There's no upside in it. It's merely defensive. But he just wanted this fight so bad. If it goes well for him, the nature of business in this country will be forever affected.

    Even Marvel has run out of magic. Its not easy to monetize that IP to get the type if short term returns to justify the price.

    haha. There’s blood in the water. I really don’t see this going well for Desantis regardless of what happens in the litigation. If he loses, he’s a loser. If he wins, there will be business repercussions for the state that he’ll be remembered for.

    Easily the best GOP candidate. Which of course means she has no chance in the primaries.

    Also not saying much. Pandering to be Trump VP with Ron de-sanctimonious jab today

    The GOP is a a party of thieves, liars, seditionists, morons and children with few exceptions. I can’t even respect Romney because he willingly dwells with the gutter rats when he could be putting his wealth towards helping people other than himself.

    The replies, LOL. All scathing (she's pro-groomer now) except for one who told her how stupid it would be to try to actually move Disney due to the logistics of it.

    Maybe she wasn’t being literal. It was easy points to promulgate the great state of SC.

    Meh. She seems to be not much more than a panderer at this point.

    I’d like to see politicians stop spouting the party line, leaders don’t just incorporate bullshit into their agenda, they do the opposite. Leaders drive the narrative, they don’t go along with horseshit just hoping to score a few points with “the base” or with a certain spray tanned buffoon.

    It’s a modern tragedy what the Republican Party has become. Hard to take anyone seriously who drops “woke” as part of their common lexicon, unfortunately at this moment we have nearly 100% of the zombie sheep bought in to these culture wars. That they accuse others of a “woke hive mind” while all staying on their nonsensical messaging is like peak hypocrisy. Unfortunately in addition to missing critical thinking skills, its apparent self awareness is also lacking among large swaths of the population. Social media crackheads.

    Of course she wasn't being literal. I was laughing at the stupidity of the replies - and a little taken aback by the vitriol to what was obviously a cutsie pandering tweet.

    I see him as a mini-Trump w/ no charisma.

    Thinks being voted Governor makes him God.

    Twitter has become a cesspool now that any kind of speech is considered ok by Elon. Oh, unless you are criticizing him then it is a quick suspension.

    I would take Asa Hutchinson over her. He is a straightforward, honest conservative, as far as I can tell, although I almost certainly will disagree with both of them on abortion issues.
