Especially when they don't clearly define what "made out of the united states" actually means. Might be time for international markets to take trump to trade court over it though: this is blatantly denying them market access.
Yea, seems very poorly thought out. How many US funded productions are shot in Vancouver or New Zealand? I have a feeling he just hates Japan and South Korea. Biggest foreign films in the US market, box office wise, seem to be from those two countries.
Aside from maybe Kemp, who even asked for this?
Xenophobes (well, I don't think they asked for it outright, but I'm sure they're not complaining that they're getting it).
Oh, when you said he was going to destroy the film industry I thought you meant all the other countries are going to respond with retaliatory tariffs and tank Hollywood's overseas market. And I was frankly all for that because the hell with America's cultural imperialism and movies that cost so much to make that they need to succeed on a global scale to make a profit.
But if this is going to block Hollywood from outsourcing or even filming on location overseas... well I'm just going to laugh even harder as the industry collapses even harder.

I've heard of the "Night of the Long Knives" before, but only ever described in an ominous and vague way that made it sound like it involved rounding up everyone in the government and military who opposed him or wasn't 100% on board with his rise to power and having them murdered, possibly in a single literal night. An "Order 66" moment, if you will.
Which makes me wonder, was there anyone who didn't take the oath? And what happened to them? Did they resign, or were they executed on the spot?
Well, it was just a speech after all. Not a good one(basically making changes to protect against abuse issues being reported, all but saying he doesn't care about war crimes, etc) but basically just another speech And for those who were worried about the temperament of our own generals:

Most interesting part of the speech—a familiar MAGA tirade—was the audience reaction. Didn’t hear a single person applaud. Generals and admirals sat silently during this political lecture from a former National Guard captain. The right reaction. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

I think I'd rather punch myself square in the dick with brass knuckles than listen to Kegsbreath and Krasnov any more than absolutely necessary.
I'm going to hold my tongue for the next 72 hours in case some generals get mass fired via tweet later.
Well, no room for interpretation here. Trump intends to turn Democratic cities into military garrisons.
I love how DUI hire Kegsbreath goes on and on about overweight soldiers and generals and how it sets a bad standard, and Trump waddles up to the podium to vomit up some low-energy inane word-salad about foes "foreign and domestic" and to complain about stairs, his expertise in not falling down them, and Obama.
Go take another drink, Pete. And buy Trump a Big Mac or two while you're at it so he can continue to be the icon of fitness a Commander in Chief should be.
And yes, Trump's statements about sending troops to other cities should absolutely raise alarm bells, but it also shouldn't be a shock to anyone who has been paying attention to anyone who understands that we are living in an authoritarian regime. This has been Trump's playbook, he simply waffles on when and where he's sending troops and jackboots depending on what day and what time it is.

Really makes me want to go back and time and take care of Newt Gingrich before his plan was put into action.... A lot of this garbage tracks back to the stuff he pulled back then.
The only hope left is the people rising up to stop this and like 20% of the population are actively cheering on this garbage thanks to only listening to things like Fox News and Newsmax another 30% are blissfully unaware of what's going on...

So long as we've got a time machine to deal with the openly-fascist arm of the Republican Party, might as well go back to the 1940s when they started branding everyone who had traveled to Spain to aid in the Civil War as "Communists."
Well, my time machine can only jump to points within my lifetime and I'm old, but not quite that old, so I had to choose a point. It's broken now, anyway. Apparently trying to give your younger self winning lottery numbers causes a paradox or something.
Please work on that time machine, because I'm gonna need it when Pocket and I get elected.
As part of my process reforms, the Senate will be run by my time-displaced Kindergarten teacher, and these idiots will learn how to conduct a vote in one minute instead of three days.

Generals gathered in their masses.
Soon they'll kiss Trump and Petey's asses.
