George Lucas put a lot of them to shame by actually building a museum.

I think Disney merging with or buying Netflix was originally plan A before Fox. They used to have a pretty good relationship with Disney movies all over the site, and there was the Marvel partnership.

I can maybe see people from Chicago knowing who he is because he was mayor there.

Even in his doomer beliefs, he was wrong 2016 was more important with the Supreme Court.

I think Aslan will still have a mane. They showed an image on a magazine cover, and it looked like Aslan still had the outline of one.

Tim Walz tried this argument a lot in 2024. I liked it and agreed that it was good not to have to deal with him; I wish more people agreed.

He said in 2022 that Manchin was too conservative but has become way more trump kiss ass than Manchin.

I think Annie Andrews in SC might be a dark horse; Graham looked uninterested in having her appointed seat and did poorly at a republican debate. She can make it a race.

Going further back, it is clear Ford was wrong for pardoning Nixon, if Nixon went for jail and normalized a president being punished that way, I don't think Trump would have even run.

Kamala should campaign with Troy Jackson. She won Maine in 2024, and Troy can win this year with only Kamala's voters.

With East of Eden, Lonesome Dove, and 1000 Years of Solitude adaptations, Netflix seems to be betting on a growing interest in classical literature.

There needs to be more of an attempt to foster dislike for the Supreme Court as an institution among the dem base, at least.

From 2022 to 2024, there were people on the far right and far left who said we could have easy peace with Russia if we were mean to Ukraine and cut aid. Trump did that, and the war is still going on. Will anyone admit they were wrong? ,

This is what Canada should do: focus on making gas more expensive in America. America imports a lot from them, and seeing how Trump has acted in Iran shows he cares about it. I think he would rather lose the trade war than have $7 diesel and $ 6 gas before the midterms.

This is a partisan resist lib answer, but tech companies messed up being so pro-Trump post him winning in 2024 at best it was 50/50 and as he has gotten more unpopular they have gotten more unpopular.

I think there are two things AI companies can do to make themselves more liked. Show that AI can give people a shorter workweek for the same pay, or give people who live near large data centers an Alaska oil-style check once in a while, a share of economic growth.

I think we can argue against prediction markets and sports betting like people used to argue against cigarettes. Not a complete ban, but a heavy reduction in advertising.

Dems need to work on two messaging things. They need to get it in people's heads that Republican presidents are bad for the economy and that crime is lower now than it was in the 80s and 90s. So much nonsense is caused by people who don't believe these things.

DC being a state would reduce the Senate's conservative bias.

I think a way to break this is for a Dem 2028 contender to demand he or she be held to a Trumpian standard by the press. If they try to make a corruption story stick, say, you really think you have a right to try and make a scandal out of that when you did not talk much about this Trump thing.

Don't think he tries pardoning himself or gets Vance to do it?

Want to hear some crazy hopium? I think if Dems win Congress, Trump might just quit the presidency. He might have only run again to avoid prison and will just pardon himself, and after a loss, people will not try to suck up to him as much, and the day-to-day job would be hell for him.

It is kind of amazing how strong Spider-Man is as a franchise. The character has had multiple hit movies in three decades now, not even including successful games and t.v. shows.

Honestly, the stock market should go down for a correction alone; it is nonsense that it had a rally from April to June, even though Hormuz was not open.

There has to be growing anger at the business community for keeping falling for it. Never mind fool me twice shame on me, its fool me what nine times, it is nonsense how they fall for such tactics.

I am glad they don't have British accents in Nolan's The Odyssey. I don't like how that seems to be the default accent in any fantasy setting.

No, if that was the case, she would hate Turkey the most. Turkey has given much more support to Azerbaijan than Israel.

I see the right complaining about the Supreme Court when they lose, maybe Democrats should play reverse psychology a bit for decades, the court has been more right-wing than left. Having the Supreme Court being an institution no one cares about would be better for them long-term.

The next dem president should ban Axios from the white house and dem leaders should not talk to them now. This willful ngorance and willingness to constantly say a deal is coming for 8 weeks now to pump the markets up deserves punishment.

One thing that's missing from democratic messaging about trump's many crimes is "we told you so." It's not enough to say "this is a horrendously bad thing," you have to establish credibility by saying (& repeating) that you predicted he would do this type of bad thing, which is easy because you did

I think it was a combination of full employment, Lina Khan saying no to mergers, and data center money that made a lot of business elite crazy around 2022 to 2023. It was then that they started wishcasting a recession.

I disagree, Iran wants at a minimum of sanctions relief, and Trump giving that to the regime he wanted to end three months ago would be pretty humiliating.

I hate that line, "This is bad for the country but tremendous content." No, this is horrible content. If you want good content, read, watch a movie, or play a game. Politics and the news should not be our content.

Brian, you have millions of followers and views. Try to do a public plea to get Spanberger to pack the VA court, or lower the retirement age plan I see to force judges to retire that way. It would be a good way for the idea to get momentum.

Even Vance is trying to leak that he did not think the war was a good idea; Rubio has not even tried that. Someone from the neocon wing will be hated by a lot of the right in 2028.
