Watched Vice last night. My blood is still boiling.

As I watched I got angrier and angrier. It maybe a comedy, but I wasn't laughing. I found myself doing everything in my power to not shout out in the theater: Fuck, bastard, mother fucker, god dammit, and every curse word I know.

I haven't seen it and realize that that may be the only way to get many people to learn (at least some of) the truth.

Still, an excellent film. Also could have been done by Moore.

Understand. I have not seen it yet but I have that same reaction to anything having to do with Bush jr. and his administration. IMO the damage they did to this country and got away with is staggering. Their failure to protect the US, Iraq, Torture, Wire Tapping, outing a CIA agent, the Economic catastrophe etc. That none of these people were ever held accountable and most went on to lucrative careers in the private sector is equally frustrating.

If you want to put yourself through more frustrations and a liberal use of colorful metaphors watch “Inside Job” about the financial collapse. That documentary made me want to throw the remote through the TV...🤬

I did like how they closed the film reminding everyone of the Bush administration's missing 22,000,000 emails.
