Well dang. I honestly don't know if that was satire or not. I can't even tell if he was being sarcastic or not. To be fare, I couldn't tell that for a while with the Fandumb Menace as well.
It's hilarious that these people will literally turn the villains into heroes by just flipping the roles and pretending the fascists are a tall freedom fighters and the rebels are actually terrorists.
The rebels kinda were. There was a duly elected government and the rebels used guerrilla tactics to weaken them to the point where the head of the government is assassinated by one of his own soldiers and then a new government is installed. 🤷🏻♂️
The Jedi had a mandate from the government to deal with immigration and customs enforcement. They were running refugee transports in the phantom menace and the trade federation invading naboo is basically Russia invading Ukraine. Why is this not a Access Hollywood piece is beyond me.
Is Scott Jennings OK? I'm concerned about his mental state. While he is within his rights to have an opinion, this batshit fucking nuts! Everyone says 'what???' 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Remember all those bad 80s action films where the villains were so obvious and dumb? Yet there were people who were like “ no he’s amazing you don’t know what you’re talking about”.
That’s our universe… we are trapped in a crappy 80s movie.
So happy I missed this since Scott Jennings is the reason I stopped watching CNN last year. Kaitlan Collins helped when she allowed Trump to take over her "town hall" with a Magat audience.
Remember the White House posted an AI picture of Trump with the Sith Lord light Sabre.
Perhaps they’re trying to appeal to edge lords at this point.
Wouldn’t be surprised if they threw a few jabs at Susan B Anthony and Martin Luther King.
I’ve seen people deface a MLK poster in Missouri.
While there were problems with both the Jedi and the bureaucracy, forming a tyrannical empire (electing Trump) is like burning down the house to fix a broken window… from the inside.
Can this numb nut be more detached from reality?WTF CNN?Why is this miscreant on your payroll?For your supposedly fair and balanced news coverage of both sides bullshit? Who do you morons at CNN think you’re fooling allowing this imbecilic right winger to spout his take on our politics?Do better!
…”Conservative CNN panelist Scott Jennings tried to defend infamous Star Wars villain Emperor Palpatine by calling the Jedi "unelected hippies and violent protesters."
😆 This is how far I got in reading bf I stopped. Oh my 😆😆😆 I can’t even. LMAO @ Scott Jennings
I'm just wondering if MAGA wants to identify with someone who is clearly cast as a Star Wars villain, if they feel their grievances are so closely aligned with the villain's objectives.
Another trump supporter, Laura loomer, posted today, George Floyd, 5 years sober. Are all Republicans ignorant racist starting with the president and working down to the KKK, Nazi and white supremest?
It really IS hard to tell the difference now. the onion headlines and stories were always ridiculous. Now I can begin reading an article and it takes me a few beats before I realize it’s just an onion satire and not the latest bat$hit executive order.
NO ONE
Why is anyone anywhere asking this nimrod anything?
CNN is a hole
I’d rather spend my time watching Jerry Springer “is he the daddy?”episodes ….
Smarter and more useful
Does he think that the Jedi's are real? Will he also start claiming Voldemort was a poor misunderstood orphan wizard?
Am I allowed to call him a D**kHead?
The meaning of the word "conservative" has long been invalidated by these people & folks would do well to stop pretending that's what they are.
FYI The Sith leader slowly drew the Jedi into the conflict. They were peacekeepers and were thinking they were defending a Republic & reluctant to engage.
CNN pays Scott Jennings to lie and make over the top statements like this in order to create viral content. When we repost articles like this we reward them. Please do not feed the troll.
This guy is the poster boy for the brown nose group, its so had to believe that some of these guy are said to be intelligent when they constantly go on tv to promote the most discussing moronic felon whoever walked the grounds of USA and that is saying something.
That dude is probably one of the worst out there. Yes sir Mr Trump lemme suck on that little crunchy cheeto for ya sir. Lemme drink your man boob sweat sir! Pathetic
Maligning the heroes of arguably the most successful movie franchise of the last 50 years for BOTH the right AND left... genius move. and he's. all. yours, CNN.
probably so he can say stupid shit and make the GOP look like morons. it's like how Faux News will find someone that actually is a gay groomer, and let them speak for half an hour, as if they represent the entire LGBT community.
It feels like Commie Donnie looked at the positions he had in his cabinet, and chose the most unqualified people for each one. He chose an antivaxer who swims in shit to be in charge of HEALTH. you could randomly reshuffle those people into other positions, and they'd be more qualified there.
Why CNN is, in fact, “fake news.” Scott never provides a counterpoint without a convoluted concoction of his personal bias and twisted, self-serving beliefs aimed at launching himself into the soon-to-be vacated seat of Mitch McConnell.
Even if Jenninga is the “lone” maga cult member, we all know CNN is in Trump’s pocket w/ the way they are focusing on Biden instead of the real important news.
Palpatine was responsible for a Jedi genocide & more! No way he got a bad enough rap! Only cult members would believe he got a bad rap!
Pundit understands his party’s policies have more to do with cartoonish villainy than basic functional governance, and so attempts to litigate the merits cartoonish villainy.
Um.... if anything the Jedi were unintentional collaborators because they were so up their own asses they couldn't detect Sidious right in front of them.
I have an old college roomate that had that same theory regarding the Jedi. One would think the dictatorial, Nazi, evil burned face guy would help one follow who the flawed good guys and who the bad guys are. Guess not.
I really wish this was just the Onion, but apparently this weirdo conservative really does think the cackling over the top supervillain is “actually the good guy”, probably because he sees that all his buddies are cackling over the top supervillains.
The Dark Lord got a bad rap. There he was, defending against a violent, woke mob from invasion when a misshapen dwarf sneaks by and tosses his stuff...in a VOLCANO!
Not if you’re the apprentice to a Sith Lord—which I’m fairly sure this clown is. Fortunately, the real Sith of America are nothing more than incompetent, delusional narcissists, reliant on the ignorance and compliance of those they grift.
These guys have wet dreams about replacing democracy with an autocracy run by billionaire plutocrats, so what is wrong about replacing the "Republic" with the "Galactic Empire"
Jennings is not a correspondent; he is a Trump sycophant and nothing more .. when he shows up on a panel, I turn off CNN.
I appreciate hearing from both sides but Jennings just spouts Trumpism ..

Also, WTF.
That’s our universe… we are trapped in a crappy 80s movie.
I think one problem is letting people from hollywood run..no offense..
🤣🤣. This is the MAGAt standard for "news" now.
the Bible Christian fundamentalism
is responsible for Dementia Trump’s
deconstruction of the social safety net
for the poor
and giving the money in tax cuts for the Rich.
The churches are responsible for Trump & his Fox News appointees administration

I mean you don’t need to be super immersed in the IP to understand how a kyber turns red which said a lot about the Trump image..
But this take? It’s fucken bizarre… there is nothing redeeming about Sidious… even as a joke it’s a pathetic take by Jennings… he’s an entire clown
😆 This is how far I got in reading bf I stopped. Oh my 😆😆😆 I can’t even. LMAO @ Scott Jennings
In Turkey, in Hungary, in Russia, in the People’s Republic of China.
In Vichy France.
And now in the United States.
They’ve always been the people in favor of justice, human rights, Freedom, Democracy, The People!

Oh, and all kids movies where the bad guys are real-estate dickbags or CEOs.
Please don't engage.
What the fuck?

Democrats have historically done well when in power, but they are in the minority in Congress
Congressional Republicans are in power right now, and can make change
If you want change, call your Republicans
