Absolutely! As audiences did with Rocket in GOTG and the last 2 Avengers films.

Since Rocket won’t be in the next two Avengers films, they’ll either

1. Give Ben Rocket-like lines, which will now sound odd, or

2. Not; so Ben will blur with the other 20 characters.

Didn’t have to be this way 🤷‍♂️

My bar is lower than yours. I’m happy with anything that isn’t NEWSCUM

The words “Russia,” “2016,” and “tariffs” are not on this list of DJT’s named priorities…nor anywhere on this, his official campaign site

In other words, no one voted for this.

DJT: try doing what you said you would do. Finish those, then we’ll see about other ideas

We never before had a President who bragged about interfering with the market. The GOP used to say the government shouldn’t pick winners and losers. Oh wait, excuse me, they’ll say that again as soon as a Dem is in the WH. My fault

This article overrates the # of people asking for the end of Israel, and underrates the # of people asking for Bibi to change tactics.

If, in 1970, you said you didn’t want the US to use napalm on Vietnamese, would you then logically also want the US to end?

Ridiculous

You just misheard what they vocally promised. What they meant was:

“Uh, dolts in the room”

Walt Disney:

1. Pioneered feature-length animation

2. Invented modern amusement parks

3. Innovated the music video

4. Won more Oscars than anyone else

5. Promoted a sanitized “Main Street” aesthetic now called “Disneyfication” that changed every city

6. Convinced people lemmings are suicidal

Thank you

Either way it’s nice to think of Gump before Zemeckis and Hanks hijacked the word

Secret for all of you:

If you listen to any full 2 hour British-commentator-led broadcast of a football match, you WILL hear the word soccer. Just as a synonym.

So Brits don’t actually *hate* the word soccer as much as they don’t love Yankees failing to use “football” the “right” way
