Wow, that didn't last long! Looks like it's down for copyright infringement.

Glad I got the chance to watch it, but it's a bit more of a one-man-show, and not-as-funny-as-he-thinks, advert for Hilary, rather than a serious/humorous look at why some folks believe in The Donald (that I was hoping for).

Some good points in there, though.

13 days until the next phase of this unending fiasco begins.

geise · 10/26/2016, 01:31 PM

I'm doing early voting this weekend to get it all over with.

blueraven · 10/27/2016, 04:36 AM

I was gonna vote to legalize weed but I'm having an Aleppo moment.

Seen more people talking about this Michael Moore film, I really want to check it out now, anyone know where I might be able to watch it?? other people seem to be but not revealing where they're watching it.

Michael Moore is such a joke. He makes these documentary-style movies that are simply his skew of the truth and no-one else's. Spend 5 minutes fact-checking, instead. It will be a better use of your time.

geise · 10/31/2016, 09:39 AM

Did early voting this weekend. Glad I got all this shit done and overwith. I really want it all to just end.

jlued686 · 10/31/2016, 09:55 AM

I'm not convinced it's going to end on November 8th.

Errr ... this one isn't a "documentary", or presented as such.

It's very-clearly presented in the format of a "one man show".

He's very, very careful not to say *anything* negative about Donald Trump.

He has an opinion, and he presents it, so "yes", it definitely is "his skew of the truth".

Doesn't he have the right to present that in this world of biased-opinion-presented-as-news that you see from the talking-heads on MSNBC and Fox News, or hear on the partisan radio channels?

It's fairly-interestingly presented, and some of his perspectives were new (to me).

You don't have to agree with him in order to watch it, but you might find *something* in the show that makes you think.

Also, from my POV, this election cycle is totally about "opinion" and not about "facts".

There are plenty of "facts" that seem to make either candidate a poor choice for POTUS.

The "opinion" comes in when you weigh the relative-importance (to you) of all of those "facts" in order to come up with a candidate to either vote for, or vote against.

Otaking · 10/31/2016, 11:46 AM

Nearly all political discussion I watch or read (news articles, documentaries etc..) isn't inline with my personal political views, but it's still fascinating to watch and hear others view points, differing political view points leads to debate, which is the foundation of good healthy politics.

esteban · 10/31/2016, 08:13 PM

Wait, this is still a thing? I thought this reality TV show had been cancelled.

Retro MJM · 11/07/2016, 10:00 AM

I don't care who votes for who, but one thing that does kinda tick me off are unfaithful electors who refuse to vote for whoever the majority voted for; they are hand-picked elites by a state that votes for the state winner, no matter the party-affiliation. Or at least that's how it should be.

http://bigstory.ap.org/article/d3a1c10593c44da58bb611ef09101214/washington-state-elector-says-he-wont-vote-clinton

This only enables America to be an anarchy than democracy. How would Trump supporters feel if George Soros bought off a few electors in Texas to pick Hillary instead of going with their duties to represent the majority vote? I think they would be incredibly annoyed the electorates failed them and invalidated their votes.

I agree with what you are saying, but the whole point of the EC is to vote how they think will best benefit their state. It's not their job to represent their popular vote. The electoral college needs to be wiped out all-together.

NecroPhile · 11/07/2016, 10:28 AM

That asshole should be removed as an elector.

NightWolve · 11/07/2016, 11:57 PM

So...day of reckoning is manana, place your bets, who will be the next president, Clinton or Trump ? Who would you put money on and how much ? (Me, I'm not confident either way to put money on it...)

esteban · 11/08/2016, 05:25 AM

MUSICAL INTERLUDE:

Music has been cancelled. Thanks America.

You may, or may not, find success finding music in Canada.

blueraven · 11/08/2016, 06:34 AM

esteban You are certainly the master of tangents.

I never listened to the Psychedelic Furs. I will give them a chance tomorrow at work on your recommendation though.

That said Nightwolve... the only thing I would bet a six-pack of craft beer on, or a copy of Keith Courage (if you don't drink. Yes... I'm afraid it has come to KC. Two years ago it would have been PCE Art of Fighting

) is that California will legalize weed... and as I'm posting this a few minutes before 4:30AM MT, Gary Johnson is probably doing a bong hit right now.

Remember that CA failed to pass that vote just 5 years ago. I knew a lot of very pro-weed people who opposed the law because it was a bad law. They hoped something better would come along. It's a real possibility still (that said, I didn't look at the law myself because I'm no longer living in California).

I guess I should vote today eh?

Why am I watching all this election crap on TV and hitting "refresh" on my browser?

I should be doing something more worthwhile with my time.

Jeezus.

Been watching here in the UK, got too late now (2am) so gonna see the results tomorrow.

Man, what a let down, a prematurely broken campaign promise on Madonna's part...

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/election/madonna-withdraws-oral-sex-promise-hillary-voters-article-1.2864602

In other news, woah, Trump has a serious shot, Ohio is won, and Florida is close with him in the lead and 9X% of votes counted - NO republican can win without these 2 battleground states!!! Whatever happens, there was no predicted landslide loss one way or another...

Friggin' Gary Johnson though, took 2% of the Florida vote... who did he draw that away from ? The guy really is more of a democrat without the corruption, but the brand of the libertarian party usually takes more votes away from republicans... :/

BigusSchmuck · 11/08/2016, 11:27 PM

I'm surprised no one brought this up: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/simpsons-writer-who-predicted-trump-876295

Emotions always trump logic (no pun intended), in the end. So I would say, never underestimate the emotional state of a group of people; in this respect - angry rural America. Trump tapped into that. Clinton couldn't tap enough emotion into her surrounding base (near outliers).

On the other interesting side; the classic republican base is actually shrinking (rural America is shrinking), and the democrat base is projected to keep on growing. There's a whole younger generation of democrats that will be moving into that voting demographic (30's I think). In the long run, if the republicans don't change their party (image, etc) to attract more of these democrat leaning outliers, they'll be in for one hell of a fight in the coming next generations.

Medic_wheat · 11/09/2016, 01:21 AM

I simply can't believe Truno is in the lead and looks to have won.

Bloufo · 11/09/2016, 01:52 AM

My question : Our own Trevor Noah had some pretty nasty remarks in regards with The Donald in virtually every show the past couple of months. Deport incoming ?

But then I guess most of mainstream media had fun making fun of Trump.

Medic_wheat · 11/09/2016, 01:59 AM

Well going to bed. Trump just needs 6 more electoral votes to win and he appear to be ending with a possible 306.

Night.

Bloufo · 11/09/2016, 08:48 AM

Don't you think Trump is like the idiot WWE wrestler shouting at the crowd and giving them the finger. The crowd know it is all fake but love it regardless because it is different to what Clinton brings, which is a promise of more of the same whilst she's a wolf in sheep's clothing?

And besides,

Nothing fake about this!
