Yes, there was a movie on him that was pretty good.

The Suicide Squad is pretty fun. But you can also see it on HBOMax. Was actually good to see in a big Dolby Laser theater though. Free Guy... meh. Should've had a lot to drink first. Too much of the good stuff is in the trailers and the rest is pretty predictable. The Green Knight... ... ... is trippy. Interesting and well done. Basically like Excalibur but much less action, so some will find boring and many will find confusing. Still, glad I saw it.

This is generally my opinion. The people of Afghanistan let their country be taken over and ruled by the Taliban, their neighbors and women terrorized and worse. They've suffered mightily for 20 years after that government's foolish support of 9/11 (though Saudi's involvement remains unaddressed...). I'm sure many there don't remember before the American war and think that we're the sole cause of all their suffering, though. They can choose to fight for a better government or let the Taliban take over again. That's been their choice for 20 years and many have bravely died fighting. The western world actually tried hard to help the people establish something better for themselves, that enough didn't take it AND HOLD ONTO IT, well, we've given just about all we're willing to give, especially in American lives. But every time the Taliban concentrates power somewhere there'll be iron raining from the sky. Every time somebody wants to oppose them there'll be arms and dollars for the cause. Sadly, the Taliban don't seem to mind trying to rule through fear while hiding in a cave, never building anything good or lasting, just brutally keeping control over whatever local population they can terrorize. So be it. Every time they stick their head out of that cave it'll be blown off. It sucks we didn't manage to turn them into the new Germany or Japan, it would have been a great model for the middle east, and I mostly blame Bush2's idiocy, the whole world was with us until he had to go after Iraqi oil instead. What we did in Iraq was heinous and criminal, and will forever taint us. But Afghanistan did it to themselves and that needs to remembered.

How many are trolls, how many are grifters, and how many are dumbfucks too stupid to read the constitution?

Exactly, especially considering that George Washington ordered his troops to get the smallpox vaccine!

Oh, it was his "ring" all right...
