Actor-director Clint Eastwood believes that Donald Trump is benefitting from a trend in American culture by saying what he believes, despite criticism from all sides. “He’s onto something, because secretly everybody’s getting tired of political correctness, kissing up,” Clint Eastwood said in an interview with Esquire. “That’s the kiss-ass generation we’re in right now. We’re really in a pussy generation. Everybody’s walking on eggshells.” Eastwood specifically cited Trump’s comments criticizing a judge who was born to Mexican parents, but indicated he was tired of the media fueled controversy “He’s said a lot of dumb things. So have all of them. Both sides,” he said “But everybody —the press and everybody’s going, ‘Oh, well, that’s racist,’ and they’re making a big hoodoo out of it. Just fucking get over it. It’s a sad time in history.” Eastwood said that he hadn’t spoken to Trump about an endorsement, and hadn’t endorsed anyone for president. He clarified that he didn’t agree with everything that Trump said, but indicated that it was refreshing to see an unfiltered politician. “He’s just saying what’s on his mind and sometimes it’s not so good,” he said. “And sometimes it’s … I mean, I can understand where he’s coming from, but I don’t always agree with it.” But given the choice between Trump or Clinton, Eastwood suggested that he would probably vote for Trump because Clinton represented more of what Obama did to the country. “I’d have to go for Trump … you know, ’cause she’s declared that she’s gonna follow in Obama’s footsteps,” he said, calling Clinton “a tough voice to listen to for four years.” Eastwood criticized political figures who were using their position to make money, citing “too much funny business on both sides of the aisle.” “She’s made a lot of dough out of being a politician,” he said, referring to Clinton. Overall, however, Eastwood seemed dissatisfied with both Trump and Clinton. “Everybody is boring everybody. It’s boring to listen to all this shit. It’s boring to listen to these candidates,” he said. He added that an ideal candidate should more understanding instead of trying to insult his way to victory. “[G]et in there and get it done,” he advised, citing his father. “Kick ass and take names.”

A uniquely truthful and apropos characterization….I really like it. And I really like old Clint Eastwood….he always speaks his mind. At his age of 86, I’ll say he is close enough to be of The Greatest Generation … God bless you, Clint … And you too, Duke …
He was 15 when WW II ended. You're pretty desperate to shoehorn a lot of extras into that WW II generation, aren't you? It seems to be eating you up.
Nah, not eating me up at all. It is just impossible not to notice the difference in the way people approached things and reacted to them in those days….compared to now. Ah. those were the good old days … [TC, I get no videos to post, using the same procedure I have always used. Please, you do a test post of this video here].
Please, you do a test post of this video here]. Okay. This is working for me. I did reduce it from a 640x360 widescreen to a more palatable 640x480.
I keep getting the following message each time I try to post a video, and I never have before. The format I am using is the same you used….and I even tried your smaller size.
Now I looked back at my old Sent Mail. It was Chrome that caused the problem in January 2015. Here is an forum mail I sent about this back then. However, the particular problem with Chrome that Stone and a few others have been having will be alleviated in the upcoming Chrome 4.1: code.google.com: Issue 36929: Disable the XSS auditor on 4.1 In the meantime, Chrome 4.0 users can just create a shortcut to disable the XSS Auditor in Chrome: Frameloss.org: Using Google Chrome for Security Testing Stone hasn't told me if he's tried it yet here at LF. So maybe there isn't any great need to fix this in LF's HTTP server headers after all as I described in an email to Neil. BTW, I just discovered that Neil wrote me an email a week ago and I just got it so I'm not too sure he gets my emails. The solution I proposed was to change postarticle.cgi and postcomment.cgi to emit a header to disable the XSS Auditor and I tested it as working correctly on my own P forum. Probably making any changes to LF's emitted HTTP headers is no longer needed if the browser makers are going to stop with this nutty XSS Auditor stuff. But they still like it. Mostly they are just dumping it for now until they can fix the problem where it slows down the POST server transactions so much. So the Auditor will be back at some point. I don't follow Chrome too closely so I would appreciate it if Stone lets me know what version of Chrome he is running (Help->About menu on Windows). Also, I want to know if his problem with IFRAMEd Youtube videos stops when he gets the new 4.1.249.1025 version shortly. Chances are that Google will make sure its browser Chrome works with its only big social media site YouTube. So they'll be fixing this problem pretty fast, I think. And now you know just how boring it is to get a private forum email from me. As I predicted in the email, they never gave up on XSS_AUDITOR and I said that it would return. And so it has returned and is screwing Gatlin when he is trying to post YouTube vids.
Thanks for your help....you sent me down the right track to find the problem. Odd that it just started today, when I have changed nothing. I have no problem flipping to IE when I want to do a video post. I think I remember way back when, you use Firefox. How’s that going and what, if any, are the advantages over the other SEs?

Well, Firefox has its ups and downs, like the other browsers. Firefox tried to break into tablets and phones and failed so they wasted a lot of effort on that. Microsoft just gave up their attempt to break into tablets and phones (other than the Surface devices) and they failed too. So we've seen a couple of big failed efforts from both Firefox and Microsoft and they wasted a lot of time and effort on stuff that got scrapped. In the meantime, Google seems satisfied with disabling its own browser Chrome from time to time over unleashing that heartless bitch, XSS_AUDITOR, on its gullible users. As for search engines, I still am quite content with DuckDuckGo. And I can make it retrieve an untraced Google search if I want to. It's just so seldom that I want to.

As I recall, we just sat it out until Chrome v4.0 was fixed as promised in Chrome v4.1. I'm not a big Chrome user so Stone probably recalls it better than I do. Folder: Sent Mail Date: February 1 8:46:51 AM From: Tooconservative To: A K A Stone, Pinguinite Subject: Bad Youtube IFRAME previews in Chrome 4.0 due to Content Security Policy, soon to be fixed in 4.1
I mentioned that CSP was coming to all the browsers and it is. But they are pulling back on it a bit because it has made lots of people (like Stone) mad at them.
[These are the developers who decide what features get included and how they are implemented in any particular version of Chrome. Notice this: "Disable the XSS Auditor by default for 4.1. It causes a huge performance regression with POST. The auditor can now be enabled by passing --enable-xss-auditor.". And reading on we find the first Chrome 4.1 version that should have the XSS Auditor disabled by default will be build 4.1.249.1025 (Official Build 40600).] print "Content-type: text/html"; # Printing Content-Type must come after GoodCookie print "Content-Security-Policy: reflected-xss allow";
