Jeremy Irons must have took a step back from the CEO world and became a Butler for Bruce Wayne.

Off topic, but those comments in every clip of any movie on youtube from some bore genuinely enrage me.

He’s basically already said that. Dictator on day one. Filling his cabinet with people that will or already have bent the knee.

Said it earlier than that. 2016

"I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?" Trump remarked at a campaign stop at Dordt College in Sioux Center, Iowa. "It's, like, incredible."

Ah, if only everyone had such a privileged life that they could just make such easy black and white choices.

And the majority are only putting themselves through that, hoping to be able to claim asylum and then bring their families over safely. Imagine being desparate enough, brave enough and loving enough to risk your life to do that

It is a black and white choice.

The fact that you're claiming people are "desperate, brave and loving" to risk the destruction of their family is insane.

Madness.

So how much education experience does she have again Zat?

Im not sure you understood my point about certain leadership positions.

How many years experience did Biden have in the CIA ? About as relevant.

Also went to a lecture last night about reintegrating those released from prison (which like 98% of offenders are ultimately released) and how it's crazy the barriers we put in place that stop people being normal members of society again, then wonder why so many reoffend. For Zat and others, the Peer who gave the talk also complained about the idiotic response from the Mail et al about Labour's release of prisoners in the wake of the riots. I'll paraphrase, the public are largely clueless on these matters, but the media are even worse.

Early release of prisoners is not a good thing.

Mcmahon is not the worst pick, so far. I mean, at least she has a bit of gusto and is a bit of an unknown in that world. An outside perspective may help in some cases. It is unknown, I am not confident that she is a sensible pick but there may be something to it, at the best case scenario.

However, your reasoning is just unbelievably stupid. What other films would you say proves that she is experienced enough to be the head of a country's governmental department. Deadpool, Goodfellas, Singing in the Rain?

FYI, Jeremy Irons is an actor, their job is to fake things. I don't think he really was the CEO of the bank in question.

Well, when people are intellectually and even simply broadly challenged then I find it helpful to give examples based on films.

This is something that helps children visualise the point and make it more relatable.

Unfortunately, yourself and one or two others -- with different viewpoints to my own -- dont seem to understand the same logical examples that children do.

Oh my word. This is one of the craziest posts ever, that is saying something on here.

I understand the whole point of using examples of fictional situations being compared to real life situations. Like, you may say 'Remember that time in Friends when Chandler fell asleep in a meeting and then accidently nominated himself to head up a new division and they made him move to Tulsa, well imagine that but I don't have to move.'

However, you cannot use a fictional film to justify a real life person being nominated for something, or a real life decision making process. That is not how these examples work. The correct example would have been to cite a real world experience where this went well, i.e. So and so got the justice department job with no previous experience in the area and implemented this and that which are working well.

I mean, if this is your logic then I am all for draconian punishment and locking people up for minor misdemeanours because there was this one episode of Thomas the Tank Engine where they bricked Henry up in a tunnel, it was maybe a bit harsh but nobody else crossed the fat controller after that and that justifies stricter punishments on humans in real life.

Now you're seeing how low the depths are I'm going into to give you an example which you also fail to understand.

Perhaps a colouring book may help?

Jeremy Irons character in the movie btw is as dead on as an example as you can get for someone not working in that field.
