I really hope that there's a lot of misdirection going on because I'm not going to lie, I'm not really liking some of what I'm seeing. Factor that in with Hamill's comments recently, I'm not sure I'm liking the direction they are taking with Luke. However, I'll wait to judge when when the movie comes out.

Got my tix for first showing but wasn’t all that impressed with the trailer. Kind of a let down.

I don't have an answer, but the question is, here we are in America and we have a ridiculously disproportioned percentage of mass shootings... what the hell is wrong with us? Why us? What is it that is causing this? I get the idea that guns are inanimate objects and don't kill. People do. But why do we have this disproportionate number of incidents? People say gun laws only keep these weapons out of the hands of criminals. Again, I don't know the answer, all those counter arguments make sense.

In the past, I'd say this was a big issue for me. Not any longer. Unfortunately, the idiots ruin everything for the responsible people. If it comes to having to give up mine, I'll do so.

This is true. My best friend is a conservative and anti liberal, he bought more guns during the last 8 years because he was literally convinced his guns were going to be taken away.

That's part of the problem, IMO, AR15, AK, etc... they are not hunting rifles. I grew up hunting. Never been hunting with anyone that used those guns. Ultimately, as part of the process, there needs to be a clear definition not necessarily of "Assault Rifle" but in terms of which guns are made for hunting and which are military use. Is there a clear answer? no, not at this time, but something needs to happen. This is getting old.

I'm a gun owner and I am all for the right to own guns. However, I'm anti NRA and have no problem with very strict background checks and assault rifle bans.

As I've stated before, I stand for the pledge, students in class each day used to stand for the pledge, but now, I'd say roughly 90% do not. It annoys me, but in the context of the NFL players, its their right. What I do wonder is how many of butthurt people actually stand at home while the anthem is playing?

My best friend is in the military and is a republican. He said, he doesn't like it that they kneel or sit, but he absolutely respects their right to do so.

What kills me is the pro GOP people were all butthurt that a foreign power MIGHT be able to hack into Clinton's emails... With Trump, no need to hack... wow. So dishonest.

He'd have to take a hit to his ego and I have a hard time seeing Trump admit he's an idiot. He wants us all to think he's a genius

I think you hit the nail on the head. I do believe it's more anti liberalism rather than just being a conservative.

So the truth is, times probably haven't changed all that much, we just see more of it because of 24/7 media and social media. I'm not disagreeing with you at all, but just wanted to point out, I know several military guys, best friend and another is a dad on my son's travel baseball team. Both always claim that Benghazi was such a HUGE deal and the public doesn't know the half of it. Again, people are so partisan, their minds are already made up, nothing really to even discuss anymore with most people. Waste of breath.

Here's the thing... From what I see, most diehard conservatives do not think Trump has done anything wrong and in a lot of cases, they are saying what he has done is ok. My best friend is in the navy and he is very conservative. With each new bit of info, he just doesn't think its a big deal. I have to believe that that's how most Trump supporters are. IF it comes out that he did make deals with the Russians or money laundering or what ever, many are just not going to believe it. I was too young for Nixon, was it that way then? People are so partisan now. its scary

There is a twitter user that I follow, i think its something like "impeach trump", and they always link to articles from a source called the "Independent Report". I would not generally consider this a choice of media that I would trust, however, over the past couple of months, everytime they have posted "bombshell coming" and then link to the story where people claim something, it has generally happened. So there's the backstory, from what I've seen, they have a pretty good record of indicating when something is about to happen. So, since yesterday, they have been saying that something else is going to be revealed soon and part of the story was that major media outlets have audio of Trump that implicates himself. They have claimed that Mueller has asked that the info be held back while they investigate, but it will be released soon. One theory is that Trump has been slamming CNN and other sources so severely because he will just claim fake news etc... Again, not claiming its true but so far, they have been pretty correct... Curious to see what happens.

I watched the dashboard cam footage yesterday and I personally don't understand how the video proved anything conclusive either way. I can't see what's happening in the car. I can't call the cop a "murderer" without knowing what was happening inside the car. Point of interest. When I took my conceal carry permit class, we were taught that when pulled over to keep our hands out of the window of the car and visible so there was no chance of any misunderstanding.

Totally agree, but all the stuff going on now is beyond belief. Never in my lifetime did I think we'd be where we are now.

Its because the people the special prosecutor is hiring, he looks to be doing a legit job and I"m sure trump is scared because we all know he or those close to him are guilty.

I just can't wrap my mind around this. How can anyone defend this (If he does it), but you know his supporters will have no problem with it. Party Hivemind... needs to go away.

Ok, I'm not understanding this. HOW is is possible that Trump can potentially fire the special prosecutor? How is this even a thing? Do we live in Russia or something...??

This is how I feel. Some one is going to cave and its all going to come crashing down.

So, with Flynn pleading the fifth, what's the consensus here? Does anyone thing a deal will be worked out? Anything?

I agree, McBride was really out of place IMO

I saw the movie and liked it a lot. However, I tend to enjoy the lore and easter eggs etc.. when it comes to movies and video games. I thought this movie did a great job tying together Prometheus and Alien. I personally don't know if someone would like it if they were not already fans of the other movies.

LOL.. not sure if I'm missing the sarcasm, but that building in Moscow is St. Basil's Cathedral
