True. Do you think this thread would exist if Zegler was Italian? She could definitely pass as Italian

I will say it was pretty genius of Trump to make DOGE not an official government agency. Should make it easier to get rid of Elon when the bromance inevitably comes to an end

I read 2 crew members survived

Thanks for showing that diversity is part of what makes America better than those other countries.

Sure libs are playing it up and laughing at the in-fighting, but It’s not a fake controversy and was in fact started amongst conservatives, namely Loomer. I think you said you don’t follow social media but there were quite a few prominent conservative social media personalities arguing about it. Several of them even called out that they didn’t like Loomer but that they agreed with her on this issue. I would liken it to the topic of getting rid of birthright citizenship. Obviously H1B visas have been around for years, but considering the whole “America first” agenda, seems like a fair question to ask if Trump plans on changing anything about them especially since he was apparently in favor of getting rid of them during his first term.

So @edjr was making up quotes?

Also, @listen2me 23, why didn’t you ridicule the middle aged man that started this thread?

She’s better looking than Sydney Sweeney, IMO

She was a personal guest of Trump’s at events and most likely focked him. She doesn’t speak for half of the US, but she was really the one that started this “controversy,” that many other MAGA folk agree with her on

Laura Loomer is a leftist?

She’s really only half Hispanic anyway. Also half Polish

You realize there’s a thread on here with over 4,000 posts mostly from righties complaining about Disney right?

Her dad is Polish. Doesn’t get much more white than that

Interesting thread with data https://twitter.com/RobertMSterling/status/1873174358535110953

Honest question, do international sales typically lag behind domestic? For example I see that Wicked doesn’t even come out in Japan until March. As a quick comparison I looked up the Barbie Movie, Despicable Me 4 and Inside Out 2, which all did around 40% of their total sales in the US. Wicked on the other hand has done almost 70% of its sales in the US. To me that suggests it still has a lot more sales to come in internationally which would likely bring it over $1 billion globally. https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl3638199041/ https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl1077904129/ https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl2603516673/ https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl1199474177/rankings/

“I hope it’s a bit of a love letter to everyone who feels different, who feels out of place, to all of the Black women who have walked into rooms and felt like they haven’t been welcomed,” Erivo told Variety. “To anyone who’s walked into a room and felt like they haven’t been welcomed. I am really glad to be the conduit through which this character has been brought to the world.” https://variety.com/2024/film/features/wicked-cynthia-erivo-elphaba-black-queer-woman-1236218605/

I saw someone compare Elphaba to Trump too which I can see that as well, as he is a person who isn’t evil but many call evil, and even call him an “Orange man”

I thought so

This lady is saying that conservatives are calling it woke…

Are you saying it went woke went broke?

Wicked isn’t a Disney movie. It was woke though

Hispanics can be classified as white. HTH

The girl in the video in the OP looked decently white to me. Maybe not “white as snow,” but not really “colored”

Not @Patented Phil apparently

Not sure what’s so funny, Wicked Global box office is almost $600 million and counting, so it seems to have paid off. That’s also not counting millions in merchandise sales, they had a ton of brand partnerships. It pretty much took over Target for example, can’t say I ever recall a movie getting that much exposure before it even came out. @edjr wrong again
