Most people I know had that one movie as a kid; that one movie that they would watch over and over and over to the resigned acceptance of their parents. I’ve always thought that movie says something about a person. What was your movie?
Atlantis and Scooby Doo Zombie Island
The Godfather lmaooo
“A Marine forward air-observer team guides a Marine Corsair in for a strike on an enemy-held hill. The ‘Black Sheep Corsairs’ were highly praised by Army and Marines alike for their precision strikes on targets and their extremely close support of forward units. The close air support provided to the 1st Marine Division by their own aircraft was unique and envied by their Army counterparts.”

Y’all thought politics today were derisive and violent?
“The Arkansas House deserves special mention. In 1837, when a representative insulted the Speaker during debate, the Speaker stepped down from his platform, Bowie knife in hand, and killed him. Expelled and tried for murder, he was acquitted for excusable homicide and re-elected, only to pull his knife on another legislator during debate, though this time the sound of colleagues cocking pistols stopped him cold.”
“On December 4, 1837, John Wilson, speaker of the Arkansas House and newly elected president of the Arkansas Real Estate Bank, took exception to remarks made by Joseph J. Anthony, who was known to be “somewhat inclined to be very dictatorial in matters connected with the transacting of [legislative] business.” The issue was an amendment to a bill for paying bounties for wolf scalps. Anthony proposed that, instead of requiring the bounty seeker to obtain the usual certification before a local justice of the peace, that the certificate be signed before the “President of the Real Estate Bank.” Wilson, who happened to be the president of the bank, perceived Anthony’s remarks, which were in jest, as a personal insult. He swiftly left the speaker’s chair, drew his bowie knife, and advanced upon Anthony, who promptly drew his own knife and tried in vain to defend himself. In a fury, Wilson stabbed him several times in the chest, and Anthony fell dead, pierced through the heart. Although indicted for murder, Wilson was found not guilty by a jury in Saline County after a change of venue.”
John Wilson said talk shit get hit
Honestly, I can’t say he deserved it, but Anthony was kind of a piece of shit, a big dude (like physically, 6'1", 200lbs) that thought he could talk how he wanted to anybody because he was a vet that was fairly educated.
During the War of 1812 he was a second lieutenant in the US Army and fucking deserted during the defense of Fort Sandusky and had to resign his commission to avoid court martial. He got lucky because Andrew Jackson liked him and allowed him to reenlist under him as his assistant adjutant general, and being in the right place at the right time, ended up being promoted to Major due to his “serving with distinction against the Creek Indians” which, under Jackson, meant being so cruel and merciless to the natives that Jackson took notice.
He was a Virginian by birth but ended up going to Tennessee after the war to further his education and try to become a successful farmer, and by all accounts he was a pretty intelligent guy. He went on to Arkansas to try to become a successful politician, but you can see how that ended for him. He never married or had kids, so it’s safe to say he died a kissless, racist virgin. Fuck you Anthony, I hope you are in the same circle of hell as that little bitch Charles Lee.
