Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
We know that we’ve missed a GLoP or two in the past few months. So in an effort to make up for lost GLoPs, we present this super-sized edition, close to 90 minutes long. We won’t delve into the myriad of topics covered in this show except to say it runs the gamut from a brief history of cable, William Hurt and his many flaws, Skeet Ulrich, The Godfather, Brando, the woman who protested the Ukraine war in a Russian TV studio, who should play Zelensky and more. Just listen. And laugh.

He was in one of the very first, that is, if The Incredible Hulk (with Edward Norton playing Bruce Banner) even counts as part of that series.
Always research X.
No, but it will go in your dossier.
Oh, I’ve never gotten around to seeing that one so I’ve missed all of his appearances.
Yes, I follow a few who even in a 27 minute podcast break down the time signatures of each topic.
Ouch.
It’s not that simple with GLoP, they were making William Hurt jokes all the way through.

I can guess that BY won’t be first in line to watch this.

I watched the trailer, Richard. What I saw there was some Very Dramatic Music used to score what was clearly footage shot for this trailer of shady looking people engaged in possibly nefarious activities while Dinesh made used his best “just askin’ questions…” voice modulated into hush tones. But my favorite part was the video filter used to make the footage look like it was shot on a bad cell phone or security camera (modern cell phones shoot in 4K at 60 frames per second). It’s a very basic video editing effect that anyone with a laptop can do:
Maybe Dinesh is going to break the election fraud case wide open with this doc. If he’s got the goods, all for it. Really!
But based on this very cheesy trailer (and what I know about Dinesh), I doubt it.
Scott, I feel like you’ve somehow managed to remain oblivious to all the election fraud that’s been revealed over the last year. Pretty obvious to everyone paying attention that Joe Biden did not win this election legitimately. You would do well to not dig in so hard. Just sayin’.
Future Supreme Court Justice Abe Fortas helped persuade Hugo Black to overturn a lower court ruling and put LBJ’s name on the general election ballot for the Texas US Senate race in 1948. So I guess LBJ didn’t steal the primary election. Good old Box 13 must have been legit.
When I get back from D.C., I’ll post a thread about 2020 since there’s not enough room to properly deal with it here. Those of us who think our institutions are thoroughly corrupted are being proven right every day.
I’m not oblivious to it, Drew. I’m entirely open to it. I’ve seen lots of accusations and charges, but no one seems to be able to prove fraud on a scale that would change results.
Oh, sorry — I thought we were talking about the 2020 election. I was not aware that every election in the history of the country was now on the table for examination. Because, yes — if you want look at (what I presume must be) several hundred thousand elections over 250 years, I’m sure you will find examples of shady behavior. The 1960 Presidential election being another one of them.
I’m not a purist. But I’m not a sycophant, either. If you or anyone else has proof that the 2020 election as rigged, or stolen, or even mis-counted, show us the evidence.
There’s a thread on Ricochet you might be interested in.
I’ve read it, Drew. More than once. That’s why I wrote “fraud on a scale that would change results.”
And that is all that matters. The rest is just whining.
There are none so blind as those who will not see.
It’s not that I won’t see, Drew. I’m entirely open to being convinced. No has made a convincing case yet. Not to me, but (much) more importantly — not to numerous state legislators, not to any court where these cases have been tried, and not to the vast majority of the electorate. Maybe someone will. But so far, they haven’t.
Wasn’t he the villain in the first Ironman movie? The rival executive that took over the company when they though Stark was dead?
Jeff
DanielsBridges doing a William Hurt impersonation, I think. Not gonna look it up, though.Jeff Bridges was the villain.
Oh, right. I always mix them up. The names anyway. I knew who I was talking about. ; )
Re: 2020 election, do we have any prior examples of the entire intelligence community lining up and declaring something as “Russian disinformation”that turns out to be true?
Regardless of the actual counting (which to my untrained eye looks sketchy) the fact that the entire intelligence community, past and present, coordinated and conspired to lie about Hunter’s laptop makes the election sound rigged to me.
Serious question as to whether there were examples of such behavior in prior elections. I had accepted that our intelligence agencies regularly messed with other countries’ elections; wrapping my head around their behavior in OUR election has been a bitter pill to swallow.
All some people cared about was that the Mean Tweeter was gone by any means necessary. And if they had to destroy the country to do it, they would.
I look at the destruction visited upon this once-great land and I ask you Trump-haters was it all worth it to you?
I’ll need nerves of Steele.
Most of the destruction that I recall occurred while Trump was still in office. Not that I blame him for BLM riots, statues tumbling, cancel culture, etc. But this all occurred before he was ejected from office.
From what I’ve seen, they seem to think so, including the ones on this site.
I hope you’re not thinking that they have to find enough invalid/illegal/fraudulent votes to overcome the (possibly also partly fraudulent) huge margin in the People’s Republic of California. It’s not really about total popular vote, of course, and never was. And there’s plenty of evidence in several states of improper/illegal/fraudulent votes in numbers that greatly exceed Biden’s supposed margin of victory in those states. Which would have changed the Electoral Vote count, and hence the outcome of the election.
Also, the “we recounted the votes (including the fraudulent ones) over and over, and they always came out the same!” Well, duh. Also irrelevant.
Yes, you are totally right…I think one can see how all these years on, they can get conflated in one’s memory. I should have known that Hurt would have been too old, even then.
