    I think there's a nice symmetry comparing the first Republican president to the one who will be, ideally, the last.

      George W. Bush was the last Republican president. Trump is the first Fascist president.

      This is obviously evidence of a Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy. =^.^=

      It is currently the worst reviewed movie of the year at 0% on Rotten Tomatoes.

        Well I mean, it does have a 90 percent audience score. But to be fair theres only 11 RT deep state agents movie critics so far. :P

          90% audience score is meaningless on its own. It's a self-selecting population. It's certainly interesting that the movie has a 90% audience score and a 0% critic score, though. It suggests that Dinesh D'Souza is preaching to the choir as usual, and that at least a tenth of his audience isn't drinking the Flavor-Aid.

            The spouse and I joke about the "people who like things like this, like this" problem in aggregate reviewing systems. As you said, it's an inherently self-selecting population, and the reviews don't entail objective standards against which a broader audience can evaluate the quality of the content in relation to their own tastes and interests.

            Yea, I kind of figured as much, but it's the same thing you see on most political movies/documentaries. I think I need to take one for the team and give it a watch/review! Maybe I can find someone...

            Yea, I kind of figured as much, but it's the same thing you see on most political movies/documentaries. I think I need to take one for the team and give it a watch/review! Maybe I can find someone more liberal here to watch it with me and give a dual review.

                I'm not a huge fan of his work to begin with, so I think I can at least give it a fair & moderate review from the "other side". Once it's available for streaming I'll pop back in here. And thanks!...
