I still haven’t watched it, is it worth a watch? The trailer looks a bit dark and dramatic and OTT?

Yeah it is really good I thought. Well acted and some great roles played of Trumps inner circle but wasn't much for Gleeson as Trump as must be used to seeing Alec Baldwin playing him.

One of the biggest regrets of my life not becoming an extra in Ireland. I remember it all kicking off with Braveheart.
My Da was in some guild group and was called as an extra loads of times.
The Boxer, Fair City, Glenroe, Saving Private Ryan etc - made a fair few quid

Brilliant, I remember Miley and Fidelma brought out a suspicious glance from my mother in my father's direction. Every husband in Ireland went for a pint at the same time over the next few months.

That's some cast. Aquaman 2, Lake St. Clair must be his fortress of solitude.

I may be the devil, but i'm not a monster
Bloke is on his knees right now.

The problem with his loud mouth version of politics is that it is like Mourinho's management style. It can be effective for a while, but ultimately you burn people out and they just stop listening/caring to what you have to say.

He's back trying to be shock jock, but 4 years of that shit is enough to turn voters off.

what will kill Trump this year, isn't that there will be a record amount of democratic voters, its that the republicans that usually vote republicans are repulsed by him and just wont simply vote.

Ironically, a reverse Hillary.

Why would anyone care though? Are some Americans really so attached to a guy who discovered the West Indies hundreds of years before the U.S. was even founded?
The whole notion of 'discovery' in this context is Euro-centric to begin with, because there were people who has been living there for thousands of years of before Columbus arrived. I'm sure they didn't need a 'discovery' by Columbus to validate their existence.

Whenever I see Columbus being celebrated it makes me vomit. The indigenous people of my country were literally genocided by these monsters, and to add insult to injury were painted as savages and cannibals in history for their troubles. All well and good for Americans to celebrate someone that they were never affected by. Bit of a running theme for them, really.

They're celebrating a conquest, but disguising it as something else.

Look you have to walk in Columbus' shoes
to see what he went through.

People thought the world was flat,
for crying out loud.

Then he lands on an island with a bunch of naked savages on it. That took a lot of guts.

You ever been to Florida? The heat? And those bugs?
