If you are watching "White House Plumbers" on HBO MAX you see the corruption of GOP is not new

Plus the performances by Woody and Justin are fantastic. Showing these idiots for who they really were, not pretty but funny!

This is a political conversation mostly as anyone who watches this can educate themselves on how corrupt they have been for how long.

1. My wife's watching it. "Gaslit" dealt with this too

In that even the Cubans kept asking “Why are you doing this?”

2. Have not seen "Gaslit" guess I should, would depress me though.

If the latest poll showing trump beating Biden is correct it is a poll that should not exist at any point in time, I know it's early The point is those numbers should not exist at any point in time, and if it's true that a big part of the problem is a certain group on the left is angry that a certain former candidate is not the candidate, then I'm gonna be mad as hell.

4. OH yes....its Must See TV

3. They are...and it sure brings back lots of memories of my childhood.

I am so happy to have such an entertaining way to learn more about that history of this country

5. I wouldn't have thought G. Gordon Liddy could be overplayed by an actor.

Justin Theroux is proving me wrong.

6. We didn't do the research he did, that prick may well have been that bad.

How he appeared years later on tv or internet radio shows or whatever, isnt relevant to who he really was, likely.

7. My point exactly.

Liddy was, in fact, that bad---if not worse. No need for much in the way of embellishment.

[Eliot Rosewater]

8. Oh I misread you then, yes I agree.

10. G. Gordon Liddy and Roger Stone are Two Peas In A Pod

Truly, the more things change the more they tend to stay the same.

And...

There's nothing as constant as change.

Theroux's doing an amazing job.

The script is tight and the acting is top shelf.

We're diggin' it at my house as well.

9. It goes back to the Grant Admin

See the shocking list of scandals and corruption here:

It turns out, Ike was a aberration in Republican history.

11. Indeed

And let's not forget Roger Stone was part of the Nixon cabal.

13. Dead On Point - The Very Definition Of "Two Peas In A Pod"

12. Top Shelf Acting, Production and Scripting. It's Hitting On All Cylinders!

I remember the day Nixon resigned.

I was reared within a GOP household.

We were at my paternal grandfather's house where my father was reared.

As we all sat watching and Nixon spoke the words tendering his resignation, I saw a tear roll down my father's face.
One of three times I saw him cry in my life.

So as a child and into my young adulthood Liddy was a fabled hero.

I and mine are escapees of Nationalist Christianity. I, my wife and our daughter are the only members of our family that were able to defeat the delusions and embrace reality as it is.

So this show is poignantly hilarious for us. We can only imagine how unjust our families would think this portrayal is.
The show is amazing!

It's fascinating to see it played out so well!

14. Good memory LOL They were such slimeballs, weren't they!

I was just told to watch this next

"Gaslit"
