She has some EDUCATION to give y'all. Oprah Winfrey, have you heard of her? She is this lady who has more money than Donald Trump and used to have a day time talk show of some sort, she has a little book club, and she's probably the immortal high queen of the Illuminati. She's also a big #ImWithHer
Dammit! Yes, it was. In my defense, I was dropped on my head as a child, thrown up into a chandelier as a child, dropped in a stream as a child, and managed to get into a briefcase filled with acid blotters as a child and chewed on them. At least one of those events has apparently affected my memory. Or maybe at 48 I am not as sharp as I used to be. Or maybe white blonde women all look the same to me. At least I chose Sharon and not Sly and the Family or Romancing the when I chose a Stone.
Something else you undeciders, she's not running for chief technology officer. Have you ever administered a server farm? You think math is hard? Math is the easiest pre requisite for server administration.
Here are a couple of noteworthy passages relevent to the discussion here.
But Moore then walks his audience through the consequences of what happens if they just cast the “fuck you” vote. “I get it,” he tells his audience, ”you wanted to send a message. You had righteous anger and justifiable anger.” Likening the election of Trump to Brexit, he then cautions the audience to seriously consider what would happen after: “Good night America you’ve just elected the last president of the United States.”
Particularly noteworthy is that Moore offers one of the few nuanced portrayals of Clinton that doesn't sanitize or demonize her:
Then Moore makes his next bold move. After humanizing Trump supporters, he humanizes Clinton. But rather than offer a whitewashed portrait of her, he begins by acknowledging that she is not perfect. He starts by admitting his own problems with Clinton — her support of the Iraq War, her cozy relationship with Wall Street. He then opens it up to let the audience chime in about the things they don’t like about her. He doesn’t censor them — he lets them have their voice.
But then he asks them to say something nice about her. To get things started, he plays a clip from his TV show, “The Awful Truth,” that reveals Trump saying nice things about Clinton during a 1998 interview. The clever irony further softens the audience.

He explains that when he was making his film “Where to Invade Next,” he visited a maternity ward in Estonia and saw a picture of Clinton on the wall. Moore then learns that she had been there two decades earlier, traveling the globe in the same way he had, looking for better health care practices to help pitch for universal health care in the United States. He reminds his audience of how Clinton was eviscerated for trying to help our nation get universal health care.
Add my own emphasis? Don't mind if I do! Also clever of Moore to point out effort in one of Clinton's platforms, since her critics often accuse her of insincere speech-making.
But there is value in what Moore is doing beyond just a reach-out to Trump supporters, and here's where it really tie in to todays "lesson":
While Moore praises the idea of a female president and he imagines that she might be a change maker the way that Pope Francis is — the film makes it clear that a Clinton presidency will only be as good as the people behind her. This is when his target audience becomes those former Sanders supporters who are skeptical that Clinton will be anything more than a pro-Wall Street hawk.Echoing Sanders, Moore explains that our job will be to hold her to her promises and to demand even more. It’s a subtle civics lesson that reminds his viewers that our job as citizens is not just to whine and complain. If we want a revolution, we will have to fight for it.
(Yes, I am having a hot and heavy affair with the bold font. Why do you ask?)
Moore's fatal flaw, of course, is using subtlety, which is a big no-no in American electoral discussion.
But seriously, this is a good piece on what sounds like a superb movie.
she jabs her fork into her green beans and says, “I DO BENGHAZI TO YOU!”
OMG I needed that today! Coworker pulled a dick move to punish me for asking for next week for vacay long before he thought to do so by making me work the weekend before my vacay. Sorry not sorry my daughter is better at letting me know when she's visiting than your dumb brother. (And joke's on him, I'm making BANK covering his shift.)
the only way I could conceivably attend a Romney party is as staff. Fun fact, I did once bartend at the party Mike Dukakis, who was then governor of Massachusetts, threw for his staff at Christmas time. At the State House. It was awesome.

LOL!

And THIS
Yes! When Donald said vote on the 28th, that was being so... you know, being the Donald
Er...yeah....stick to promoting quack "doctors", Oprah.
Here's a better way to get a similar point across:

I thought that was Glenn "I'm not going to be ignored, Dan!" Close?

Boston and I'm a boring middle manager.
Columbus and I'm a computer graphics/web/programming guy.
And bunnies, if you're Sharon Stone.
You know, I have never made risotto, but I might now that John Podesta has explained the correct way to do so.
The moment it dawned on me that I was smarter than the President (W), it sent a chill down my spine.
Spoiler Alert! Michael Myers comes back to life at the end.
