While I disagree with him that comedy is dead because of "woke", he can make that statement while making a goofy "safe" movie.

It's not like any of his comedy was pushing any boundaries to begin with. Which is probably what got him the attitude he has now. He's probably one of those people that sit on his throne and somehow only hears the loud minority that wants to pick apart every piece of comedy or interview, searching for anything to be offended by.

Kinda like the call a few years ago to "cancel" John Wayne (who died in 1979) for something he said in an interview in 1973.

Something he said? He was the one who tried to assault Littlefeather for something she said. He had to be restrained by six security men.

I didn't mean her "qualifications" but more like, how do you define a VP candidate. Has Trump said anything about who he wants? Has she talked about wanting to be his VP? Or is it just that people think she's likely?

Yes to all. And she ranked high on Trump's list of potential VPs.

Yes, a lot of people in CE are ignorant of this and make incorrect assertions about Bidens approach compared to previous presidents.
I wouldn't say that they're ignorant. They deliberately choose to ignore it to keep spinning his approach as an inevitability of US politics under any president. Like refusing to acknowledge whenever someone brings it up, but bizarrely quoting and replying to other parts of the same post. It's blatant willful ignorance.

Ive recently seen a lot of denial on CE that either the US president has ways to influence Israel or else that it has always been US policy to unquestionably support all of Israels actions, which is just not historical.

Biden, unlike previous presidents, believes that unconditionally supporting Israel will actually gain him more influence.

I don't disagree but it's not impossible to engage in a affair with your boss consensually, difficult and fraught with issues, but not impossible. But so far nobody has come forward and claimed that their sexual relationship with Whedon has been abusive or coercive. Doesn't mean that they won't someday but until then, I am not going make accuse a person of something that serious.

Several women have, in detail.

He's supporting Israel like any American president would do.

It sucks but that is the reality we live in.
The issue is that Biden supports Israel unconditionally. Other American presidents, like Obama, were willing to criticize Israel's military actions.
