  - new show on USA reprising the Shooter movie -- nm - Beaker Nov 16, 18:41 2
    - Oh, another network I don't get. Maybe they'll extend the premise, though. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 18:43 1

- Is there video of the writers doing it too? -- nm - Bacon Nov 16, 17:07
- Red Sox's Rick Porcello wins AL Cy Young Award -- nm - Beaker Nov 16, 16:24 1

Forgive my cynicism (or don't) but I think Glenn Beck is an opportunist. - ty97 Nov 16, 16:01 21
- Wait, what? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 16, 16:55

- To be fair he always was and always remained #nevertrump -- nm - Jovian Nov 16, 16:39

  - I've been watching multiple articles that Glenn is now a Democrat - ty97 Nov 16, 16:26 8
    - That is emphatically not the truth. I listen to his show. He doesn't believe there are any liberty branded conservatives. - Qale Nov 16, 17:54
    - yeah, I think if there's ever a meaningful conservative opposition to Trump he'll be right back on board. -- nm - mafic Nov 16, 16:44 5
      - imo, that is totally the argument for grabbing his opposition now while the getting is good... - x Nov 16, 16:53 4
        
        yeah absolutely. just don't expect him to be loyal to your particular brand of the cause. -- nm - mafic Nov 16, 18:25 2
        
        sure, that's fine. wringing your hands over possible future political loyalty is a mug's game. but you take what you can get when you can get it...nm - x Nov 16, 18:43

    - I give this post a C. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 16, 16:19
- I fault the director and writer. The actors were game and I love the source material -- nm - crash davis Nov 16, 15:20 5
  - No, you can't blame the actors here. nm - Dignan Nov 16, 15:27 4
    - Jay Hernandez was legitimately good. -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 15:30 2
      - True. And Kinnaman has nothing to be ashamed of. nm - Dignan Nov 16, 15:37 1
        
        I thought he was terrible, although the role was so poorly written that he didn't have a chance. -- nm - David Nov 16, 15:40
