It would sure be good if we could get that movie out in public right now.
Just read that Tim Robbins said Bob Roberts came true, referring to Trump.

(25,926 posts)says, "I just wish there was a way to vote for you a hundred times" and Roberts says, "Oh, there is actually." Pause. "Just kidding."
That's both creepy and spot on right now.

It's sad that trust in what the truth is has fallen so low since then, though.
