    For those who aren’t in the loop, the full video of his speech is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BBhNkywMJY

    It was cut for time in the episode but it’s glorious.

      That’s literally in the article, along with a clip of the Libingston County one: https://twitter.com/LaurenMGibbons/status/1100419006803128321

      IIRC, Patton improv’d that whole speech in the moment.

      So has this movie been released yet or is it still in production? (I’m assuming any pitch that involved robot Chewy would get approved instantly)

        They still have to work out the rights to include the X-Men. Then they’ll get on to filming.

              Marvel better have something special up their sleeve for the xman. Cuz so far whooboy they are dropping the superball.

              They’re in danger of peaking in highschool right now.

                They left highschool already. Peak confirmed. It’s been downhill for a while now. The occasional spike isn’t enough to reverse that trend.

                  I hope it’s just a sophomore flop. Like how a lot of bands struggle with thier second album.

                  Because ultimately thier first album/story arc was iron man thru infinity war.

      Thanks for sharing this! I had seen the episode, but had no idea that they had made the full speech available, nor that it was so long!

    Board chairman Donald Parker said the move to end broadcasts was more to address the question of whether $8,000 spent on the taping was worth the low viewership than it was a transparency issue.

    How the fuck are you spending that much? Just get a shitty camera pointed at the stage or whatever with one shitty mic and a shitty camera/mic pointed at wherever you have citizens comment, plug it into a shitty laptop, and send to YouTube.

    No one needs 4K with professionally mastered audio.

      From the video footage shown, they don’t appear to have spent it well.

    What I find most peculiar about his filibuster was how much of it actually came true.

      I might have missed the movie with Chewy’s severed head. Though I haven’t seen them all.

        Chewie’s head on a robot spider-body would be bitchin’, but didn’t they already do that with Darth Maul in Clone Wars? or did I dream that up?

        Now, Chewie’s head floating in an armored bacta tank on top of a massive Gort-like body would be pretty cool.

          I’m thinking we do the ol’ floating Zordon head projection thing the Power Rangers have going on.

      Very cheap and plentiful weed too. Sadly, I am far closer to the Illinois border than I am to the Michigan border here in Indiana.
