Anyone watching the Comey Rule on Netflix?

It is triggering me, but I enjoy how they mock the trash panda former president.

I saw that the other day and added it to my watch list. I wasn't sure if I wanted to drudge up those memories again though.

It was fine, nothing surprising really. I personally cannot stand to hear TFG speak at all, and even felt repulsed by the actor portraying him. I guess that means he did a good job but it was painful for me to watch.

TFG = The Former Guy = DJT, right?

I was confused for a long time. If I'm right, I'm in the same boat. And the actor that portrays him is amazing at playing back-handed, devious, traitorous, double-handed grade A a-holes. I'll probably be triggered too!

Yes. I just hate giving him the decency of even calling him by his lowercase name.

I love seeing the continuing bit on cover with all the creative new names we never used during his 4 years. And I do love the consistent use of t***** when displaying anything. I don't want to get anywhere near being inside his pea sized addled brain, but it tickles me to think of his impotent rage. I'm sure it's out there, but I want a compiled list of the monikers Colbert had used this far. Sometimes the internet is a glorious thing.

I am almost done watching this. All I keep thinking is how much damage he inflicted and how many years it is going to take us to dig out of the mess. If we ever can.

Same. I binged it yesterday, and man it brought back so many memories. The show plays out exactly as I imagined behind-the-scenes conversations were happening. 

Watching the Russian characters who were toasting that their social media strategy to tear apart the fabric of America worked well for the 2016 election, I couldn't help but wonder what kind of toasts were happening on January 6?

And then seeing this play out: www.yahoo.com/news/2022-midterms-big-lie-battleground-090105754.html

I had trouble sleeping last night.
