Yea, but the cost of opening the government is $5.7 Billion.... Out of a $44~ Trillion budget.
It's like arguing over $57 dollars for a fencing in the back yard to keep the kids safe when you make $44,000 / year and refusing to pay any of the utility bills, buy gas for the car or give the kids milk money for school until the demand for the fence is dropped.
I say we write the $57 dollar check so the kids can have their milk money and you can put gas in the car.
In the mean time, blame who you want...
Yeah. 5.7 billion is nothing, just piss it all away because it's not the highest item on the balance sheet. Not to mention your total cost estimate is over tenfold inflated but whatever. Alt facts, eh?
That video more about han but it's just a side note. She blatantly is though. She flies the ship straight out like a pro, she does the force mind control before she even knows its a thing, she goes toe to toe with kylo and doesn't even really lose. That's just the big ones from the first film. She never really suffers any setbacks, especially ones from her own weakness, she doesn't have any real hurdles to overcome. She just achieves everything. Now you may argue shes had all this training off screen or whatever but its never mentioned apart from the one little bit with luke who only wants to show her enough to see his point of view (plus he apparently skips a lesson). She has essentially the same start and endpoint as luke and anakin but none of the journey.
Hmmmmm, maybe. Could also be that she's not really flying at that point either ( https://youtu.be/e2Wm5tuTllk?t... ). The force was never meant to be some deus ex machina though that will just make things happen just because. Who's to say Luke didn't use the force to physically (forcially?) push the torpedoes down the hole? They do seem to make a pretty unnatural turn. Anakin was said to be extremely gifted and all that but he never just knew how to do things, he'd been pod racing for a while and knew how to fly and if I recall he's on autopilot til he gets there, he does get lucky sure but doesn't do anything really out there, he thinks a roll is a good move.
Go QQ some more, SJW soy boy. Time and time again, it's proven that anything the leftists touch just turns to shit. Nobody likes your poison politics, stop trying to shove them down other people's throats. But you never learn. You're dense. You're arrogant. You're stupid.
Rian Johnson was more concerned with subverting expectation than he was in writing a good story. He certainly did put some nails in the Star Wars coffin.
He certainly succeeded there. We were all expecting a good film, and this is not what we got.
That's it! That's the whole fu..ing point! Leila was a wonderful woman and a badass warrior in all the movies from the original trilogy. Disney should had stick to a Leila like character instead of a blue air idiot or an unexpressive broomstick.
And then disney took a massive shit all over her legacy at the same time as holding her up as some kind of shining example. The treatment of Leia in the new star wars is fucking scandalous.
First thing she does is crash a ship into the ground and try to run away from the Force.
And then she pulls off some mid air stall that lines up the turret with a small fighter behind her before restarting the engines and blasting away with feet to spare in probably the most impressive piece of flying seen in any star wars film, in a ship she's never flown of a class she's never flown and then starts telling han solo later on how to fix the fucking thing. Yeah, real progression she shows. It takes luke a whole film and massive support network to get there. It takes Mary Rey 5 fucking minutes.
What? Rey has no "hero's journey". Everything she touches magically works. No effort. No consequences. She's a badly built character.
I like the way she gets into a ship she's never flown before and within minutes is pulling off one of the most impressive piloting moves ever seen in universe.
I've seen every Star Wars film (except Solo), and most of them many times. Yet, for the life of me, I can only describe the plot of the original trilogy.
That's because they are the only ones with a plot. The prequels were just to set up the originals and these last ones are a joke by people who think vfx is a good enough substitute for plot and structure.
Well, no. Please remember that perhaps the majority of "Trump voters" were voting against Hillary, not for Trump. In many ways, she was her worst enemy.
We need instant runoff voting in all primaries and all elections, desperately. https://fairvote.org/
Voting for Trump is basically the definition of cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Those so-called "accomplishments" were flat out rejected by many of the people who voted Trump into the presidency:
EPA - too damned big for our own good. Made electricity from coal so needlessly expensive that Americans in rural mining areas had no job while other Americans struggle to pay their increasing electric bills. Made vehicle emission standards so stringent that you can't even make a brand new diesel car legally. And don't even get me started on all their theft of water rights.
Public Education - churning out people brainwashed into obeying gov't, believing SJW and environmentalist propaganda, while being ignorant of or outright antagonistic toward US Constitutional law. This is not the education I want to be paying taxes for.
FCC - net neutrality makes it nearly impossible for bandwidth limited alternatives to exist and compete against the cable Internet monopolies. Sure, net neutrality SOUNDS good on paper, and perhaps IS GOOD for those of you rich enough for high speed wired cable monopolies. But me on a nearly free wireless Internet data plan? I'm quite happy if the ISP is allowed to throttle high bandwidth usages in order to keep the costs down to a minimum and keep the limited airwaves open enough for me to get my tiny emails/text browsing through.
Southern border: We have laws against illegal immigrants entering this country, and Trump is enforcing them. Who is immoral, the guy enforcing the laws? Or the kids and their parents breaking the law?
Draining the swamp: Trump fired Comey as soon as he got into office and got a Mueller impeachment hit squad in return. If he isn't allowed to fire people, how's he supposed to drain the swamp? I agree his cabinet picks look dubious and putting Hillary in jail doesn't seem to be happening, but as long as Trump is the man on top, perhaps he is doing what he can to keep the swamp creatures in check (pulling out of Syria at the protests of Bolton and Matthis was a good example). As they say, "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer."
Why? What did Trump do that is so bad that he deserves such nastiness? Did he block the first female from becoming president in the USA? Have sex with a few women? Stop a few wars? Tell a few crude jokes? What's so bad about all that? Every president in recent history has done one or more of those things.
Getting a probe to that speed is a problem for us, yes. That's not to say it's not a possibility given appropriate technology. Again, though, this thing is just a rock.
Really? Which advanced civilization do you know of that can create a probe that can last 10,000 years (and travel at 0.01%C) to get here? 0.01%C is 10793000 km/h. The fastest we have ever sent a probe is 4200km/h. What technology exists that would allow 0.01%C travel?
Something with a constant acceleration. Ion drives etc. Getting something to that speed really isn't problematic so long as you can keep pushing it. If you want specific examples pick up basically any scifi book for all kinds of wonderful examples. What technology exists that we have? None really. What potential technology exists? Who knows. It's just a rock though so it's moot.
By the way voyager is currently going along at a fair clip of 62,000km/h so you estimation is a bit off unless you mean rocket launch but they can get up to like 10,000km/h. Either way if you could somehow apply a constant 1g acceleration to something it would only take a bit under 10 years to reach lightspeed.

"In fiscal year 2015, the federal budget is $3.8 trillion." https://www.nationalpriorities...
Trump offered to give Democrats everything they wanted and, thanks to TDS, they turned down his offer before they had even heard him make it.
Apart from dropping the 5.7billion demand that mexico isn't paying for to build an ineffectual wall.
They still have a satellite internet connection, their redundancy plan worked.
But what if the satellite crashes? How would they get their instatweetbooks then? The horror of it.
Not really but we just call them fries anyway and only to distinguish them from chips.

Then you'll understand why I have an inherent distaste for anything French lol
No argument there.

Abrams I get. He had a ton of big, successful movies under his belt (that I hated, but that's just me).
Not just you ;)

Probably the horns and kickass double saber thing.

What a bummer! I am thirteen and I plan to visit Paris next summer.
Well, I'll save you the bother. Don't. It's shit and a waste of time.
