What's with the movies and documentary stuff
I'm taking the Missus to see 2016 tonight, and saw this last night on the TeeVee. I can only hope and pray that it is an accurate barometer.

Superpac money being used to make movies and documentary stuff?
That would be my guess.
The polls still aren't reflecting the "bloodbath" you have predicted. How does that make you feel?

Take a look back at your suggestion here. You hope that something produced by a partisan political group and shown on Hannity is an accurate barometer of the national political scene? There is a fine line between wishful thinking and self-delusion.

Jay, in two posts you've made reference to three of the people who, along with Limbaugh, are tearing this country apart for personal gain: Dinesh D'Sousa, Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity. Are these the people who in form your perspective on the country and the world?

The movie stuff is superpac money flowing into elections. The trend is fallout from the Supreme Court case Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission. Another debacle.

I'd only go to that movie if it were free and the theater provided unlimited bong hits to help me get through it. Under those conditions, along with a liter of single malt in tow, it could be entertaining. Otherwise, I'd be inclined to drop trou and take a dump on the stage during the opening credits.
Going to something like that is deliberately and voluntarily exposing yourself to propaganda, akin to reading Mein Kampf (though Mein Kampf certainly has more historical significance than this pap). If that's your bag, go for it.
