Did Trump EVER apologise to Obama for the lies he spread about the former President?

No, people questioning the legitimacy of Obama as an American and a President is free speech. When you question dear leader, you have simply crossed the line.

It's rather amusing that OP thinks it's outrageous that the Left should act like the Right. Yeah, I agree, nobody should act like that. Wink

Well, shit. Put the goofy fucker on your list.  He'd be the perfect stupid ass for SACFI.

We would have done, but the list is for members only. On Min's application, he foolishly answered 'yes' to the question, 'Do you support the freedom of political expression?' So, you know, not the best fit for us.

But if you'll PM me your email, I'll get your application right out to you.

On the one hand, using Shakespeare to comment on current events is nothing new (see in particular Orson Welles' 1938 take on Julius Caesar, setting it in the Fascist Rome of the then-present.)

However, something is very wrong if they're going to take the strict black and white view of this play, especially given that the big crux of the play is the moral ambiguity of the situation.

Also, Caesar's wife was nowhere near her husband's bloody corpse in the play.

Was any of this bullshit funded in part on the taxpayers' dime as that play was? Did any of this receive corporate funding and funding by The New York Times as did the play? Are you defending that play which depicted an assassination of the president?

Your reflection, no doubt.

So, as long as tax payers didn't fund this heinous bullshit then you don't have a moral or ethical problem with it, and it is not at all comparable to the Shakespeare act you posted? We wouldn't be shifting goal posts, now would we?

Maybe if they did Coriolanus, where the title character is pretty open about his contempt for the people he serves under, a Trump analogy might have worked better. Then again, Coriolanus is one of Shakespeare's less famous plays, and that might not have brought in the audiences or headlines.

And it's got "anus", so Trump's already in it.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

You know, it's kind of disappointing that with a work that has so much to say about the world today, the only thing a lot of people know about it is it has the word "Anus" in the title.

Then again, it is the most obvious observation about the play, so obvious that even the Hays Office allowed that pun to appear in the 1953 "Kiss Me Kate" film (relevant bit at around 2:56-3:02):





And to think that three years later, they took umbrage to the title song to Anything Goes implying the mere existence of "four-letter words" and demanded they change it to "three-letter words."

got my attention . . . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
