Darth Vader alive and well in D.C.

[Martinius]

In case anyone was wondering about the whereabouts of Darth Vader and what his plans are, we now know that Vader is residing in D.C., working at the White House. Steve "darkness is good" Bannon, who in November named Satan and Darth Vader as his role models, has now revealed in an interview that he IS Darth Vader. It is now all coming together. Where is Luke Skywalker when we really need him?

To add insult to injury, Bannon then said that the press was the "real opposition party." He is out to destroy freedom of the press, a pillar of our democracy. Of course, you must realize that when you knock down a vital pillar, the whole structure will collapse. Heaven help us.

According to Trump's false idea of what voter fraud is, Dark Vader committed it. He also talked with admiration about Satan for his dark powers.

Again, your penchant for changing the subject and derailing threads. We are talking about Bannon/Darth Vader. If you want to discuss someone else start a thread.

The rebellion is on and the resistance is quickly spreading. Even federal departments like the EPA and NASA have gone ROGUE in defiance to Emperor Trump and his empire. May the Force be with them. I am one with the Force and the Force is with me.

Just showing that there is precedence for Bannon's words. And in keeping with the Star Wars theme, "The student has become the Master."

Thanks for using works of fiction to make political points!

I know this is supposed to be a bad thing, but Darth Vader is one of the coolest characters in Star Wars, so...

First, Bannon can't be Darth Vader as you guys already said that was Cheney. So Bannon has to be Maul or someone else. Secondly, the large corporations are not the press.The press means any person or group which reports on the news. Technically, blogs, talk radio, and podcasts covering the news are part of the press.Trump being mean to them may hasten the mainstream media's collapse, but they have been terminal for years.

Well at least it wasn't a Harry Potter analogy.

I seriously worry about people who only seem to frame political thought in terms of popular fiction.

I don't. It saves me time on how serious to take them.

LOL

Again, I worry for people who seem to have that problem. I don't see it as much different than calling people who disagree with your politics nazi's or political figures hitler.

Well, have you looked over in American Politics meme thread lately...?

Note that Rogue One was essentially: here's a bunch of new characters no one is going to care about BUT DID YOU SEE DARTH VADER MOW DOWN THOSE REBELS?!?!!?!

I find that I agree that the press is owned by (and controlled by) the Progressive Left, that is why there are so many complaints leveled at Trump, and why he is accused of doing things like writing executive orders. Obama ruled by decree for a good part of his term.

Let's face it, though, the losers are always sore at the winners, and say all sorts of bad things about them.

 

[Monk Brendan]

The press means any person or group which reports on the news.

The Press means he/she who OWNS the press. That is what Freedom of the Press boils down to. If I owned a multi-state newspaper, I could write any op/ed, and people would take it as the truth. That happens a lot. So, if a conservative reporter is working for a progressive newspaper, he learns quickly to write with a progressive slant, or he tries to find another job.

Now, I don't LIKE the current status of the press, but I have no money to start a multi-state news organization, so it falls to people with the millions to do it. Also, the press always has to sensationalize, or it won't sell, and selling newspapers IS the reason for owning the press in the first place.

No silly; Cheney was the Penguin.

While we're on insightful analogies, Obama is clearly Sauron. Just try to look him in the eye for more than a few seconds, I dare you. Tell me you don't get creeped out and start hissing about The Precious.

LOL - this thread is a gem - thx I needed that

I am shocked to know that Fox News, Breitbart, the Washington Times and many other similar media outlets are controlled by the Left. Just shocked.

And it seems that the complaints leveled at Trump are coming from all directions, including Republican congress people and Senators, as well as conservative business people (Charles Koch?) who can see what damage Trump's follies may do to our country and people.

Also, presidents don't rule. Kings and dictators do. No where in our Constitution or laws does it say that the president "rules". Oh, I am sorry, I didn't realize you were presenting "alternate truths". My mistake.
