For some reason I found myself interested in Galaxy_Quest 1999 yesterday and DVRed and watched it, maybe for some laughs.

The cast of a cancelled Space Adventure show’s (satirizing Star Trek) only work is conventions and cheesy TV commercials.

Until a alien races seeks them out thinking reruns of the show are history videos, and needed help fighting a mean race of other aliens.

Being childlike in a certain way they never heard of acting and think the show was real and those characters are real.

Till the actors appear to have failed and are forced to explain it to them, using the word ‘lies’ ,that ‘acting’=’lies’

Thanks for posting the article. You are a regular poster and I for one appreciate the effort.

I certainly believe a president has to be more than a simple dealmaker. Anyone can make deals but it takes a smart person to make good deals, I believe Trump will make good deals.

A president has to be a leader. The President has to be able to take a case to the people, let them know why he believes it is good for the country and then as for their support and carry through on the promise. I believe Trump will do that.

A president has to show that the primary concern is the US citizen. Certainly one should have compassion for international tragedies and circumstances but that compassion cannot be a weakness that underlines the primary responsibility to protect the citizens.

Security comes from protection of person from enemies of the country foreign and domestic. Security comes from economic security allowing one to have a job and pursue a meaningful place in society. Security is proper education of kids academically, through proper morals and respect.

I believe Trump will be good in all those areas.

Reagan made very few deals with Tipp. Their relationship was friendly after working hours and they never discussed politics off the clock. I remember Tipp saying “over my dead body” on a bill he opposed, and Reagan saying with a smile, “Well, that may be.” Trump is miles away from Reagan in style and substance.

Every piece of legislation passed requires that a deal be made.

On that opinion Trumpsters and deniers will never agree. Trump is doing exactly what had to be done to WAKE UP a nation that was accepting our demise. One thing that had to be done is to destroy political correctness....gosh, did he ever!

Trump's got a bit of PT Barnum in him, for sure. He's a US original. But he's also got a sense of style and substance and I'll add class....look at those kids and grandkids as evidence of that!

The very statement of being a deal maker indicates that the person making that statement is more than an administrator of the laws of the land, Constitutional and Legislative.

He must be a lawmaker too.

Have we ever seen a person like that.

Very interesting conclusion of people who know the Constitution so well. They really want a deal maker.

Appreciate your work here Kaslin.

Well who do you want dealing with Putey, the Ayatollah, the Saudis, ISIS and the Norks? Trump or Hillary?
