    Trump should defend his honor by getting into the Thunderdome with Ritchson.

    Two men enter. One pedo doesn’t leave.

    I loved his appearance on “Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum” (Lex from Smallville). He want political there, but very personal and open about his Bipolar disorder.

    The response arrived a day after Ritchson’s interview with the Happy Sad Confused podcast. The actor called the president a “bitch” and a “fucking rapist,” and criticized the government over the sluggish release of the Jeffrey Epstein files and the president’s alleged association with the convicted pedophile. “The Epstein files, the fucking Epstein files!” Ritchson said. “Goddamn it! Where are they? It’s a fucking law, bitch. Show it. You fucking pedophiles!” (Trump has repeatedly denied rape allegations against him.)

    Launching into his tirade, Ritchson added, “This is my fucking politics, dude. I would fucking railroad these fuckers. I would get those Epstein files out in two seconds. Fucking move out of the way. I don’t care what room they’re in, bitch, move. Give me the fucking manila envelope. I will get you the Epstein files. Don’t you want to see what’s in there, so that we can hold people accountable? These fucking rapists! We’re just cool with it?”

    The President is getting pissy about private citizens talking shit and that’s just so damn sad. We all deserve better than this nazi white trash bullshit.

      This could easily end in more than Trump getting pissy. Season 4 of Reacher is coming out, and it’s owned by Amazon. So I’m wondering if Trump is going to try to fuck with it by calling Bezos .

      Trump’s had a grudge against Rosie O’Donnell for 20 years. Of course he’s that petty.

    That’s what always amazes me about anyone who supports Trump. Regardless of what you think about his politics; we all know that he is a complete bitch baby of a man.

      It’s the first Big Lie you have to accept. If you can convince yourself that Trump isn’t a big bitch bully and a failure you can be convinced of literally anything else.

        Coincidentally, this is the same reason a lot of phishing/scam emails have a lot of typos and grammatical errors – to filter for gullible idiots, so they don’t waste their time on smart people who will figure out the ruse pretty quick.

        Also the same reason conservatives and the christian denominations are aligned.

      He was so good at playing Thad I pretty much assumed he’d be like Thad. But it seems to me more and more that this is not the case

        He’s pretty Thad-like from the interviews I’ve seen. Not in how he treats people or his views. But more how he speaks and his mannerisms. When he gets excited his voice pitches up and you can really hear Thad coming through.

      He’s showing real balls here, too. Reacher is one of those dad shows that I’ll bet skews into a very conservative audience. I could see there being meaningful blowback for this interview

        Reacher comes off a leftist to me, so hard for me to see conservatives into that show. I mean the character literally a homeless nomad that doesn’t carry a suitcase or anything but clothes on his back. Not exactly something they approve of.

        Maybe the Tom Cruise version but not the one play by this actor.

          Besides being very hardcore military the guy usually cares more about the law than anything else. And then when people try to skirt the law that’s when “fuck it” takes over.

          You’re probably overthinking it, they don’t really put a lot of critical thought into the things they like. These are people who literally worship a communist hippie, without an ounce of self-awareness.

          From what I’ve seen of it, it’s a big tough guy doing cop shit and pushing people around with his big tough-guyness. Admittedly haven’t seen much but parts of episodes here and there that was the impression I got. Looked very boomerish to me.

    Maybe they should sue. That totally won’t blow up in their stupid ass faces when it comes to trying to prove that that child rapist isn’t in fact a child rapist.

    The dude who played Brooklyn 99s Scully in flashbacks being awesome. No huge guy with tears talking to ‘the president’ this time, just someone telling how it is. Probably a bigger dude than Trump imagines for his stories too, dude is huge. Actually haven’t watched Reacher but gf does, seems decent enough show from what I caught plus he looks like someone you don’t want to be on the wrong end of.

    Unlike a dude who gets pissy if someone calls him out or can’t forget mashed potatoes on his head as a kid.

      Yes, we’ve already been shown that his name is in there a crap ton. But the justice department is refusing to comply with an order to release them. Why would that be?

                I’ll never get how shitlibs think voting for Diet Republicans™️ will do anything but slow the descent into fascism.

                Overton Window. Marches perpetually right. It’s happened multiple times. Figure it out.

                  all of that comes from republicans winning. after one of their sessions new things become “normal”. you are moving the overton window. my devil every time I think about the few votes it would have taken to have environmental friendly gore as president in the 2000’s much less not having trump pulling us out of the paris accords. yeah you just tell yourselves your not responsible and its all the same…
