From the first link above:

“Hillary’s America” may well be the single dumbest documentary that I have ever seen in my life—nearly two hours of poisonous bluster and anti-historical rhetoric that comes across like the desperate ravings of someone trying to make a few more bucks by rehashing the same nonsense before his gravy train finally leaves town.

But read the two reviews first, in full, before you invest your money @ the theater. That did it for me, there is nothing new here that I did not know already.
And I need no more propaganda and dumb documentaries trying to make a buck that goes in the wrong pockets. I'll pocket my sanity instead, thank you very much. :b

As to the above, I believe it is safe to say that Left Wing reviewers tend to give Right Wing filmmakers bad reviews, and vice versa.

Simple Al, her background, her numerous documented lies and worst of all the disaster hillary has been as secy of state should tell any sane person what's wrong with her. If you want proof just turn the news, her & obama's gifts to the world keep on giving daily!

Its called "Common Sense"!

Common sense, David? Really?

Here is what I wrote to a Republican friend about 10 days ago after he asked me if I thought that Hillary had lied about her emails:

Of course Hillary has been lying about this all along.

Yet while she is a liar she also has the competence, knowledge and steady temperament to be President.

Unlike Trump who is an erratic, narcissistic, racist and divisive psychopath who knows nothing and has no intellectual curiosity to learn about the office. On that latter characteristic he reminds me eerily of Sarah Palin. On top of that he is a business fraud and failure (Trump University, Trump Institution, the constant and pervasive stiffing of contractors, four bankruptcies which hurt many people). How anybody can seriously believe he would make a good President who would help 'the little guy' is beyond me. It is not rational. But you were joking anyway that you would leave the country if he were to become President (just like with Clinton), so you know of all the problems.

There are also many top Republicans who think he is unfit for the Presidency. Here’s the growing list of big-name Republicans supporting Hillary Clinton:

(I'd suggest you read the link on Republicans supporting Hillary and the reasons why they do. Very common sense.)

But it is even worse than I thought. Here is what Trump's ghostwriter, you know, the guy who actually wrote The Art of the Deal and got to know Trump close-up, has to say:

You should also read the original article in The New Yorker by the guy referred to in that link. Truly terrifying.

By the way, David, Trump is an even worse liar than Hillary. Just google "Trump lies". It is well documented.

Developing scandal. Melania Trump's speech was plagiarized, in some extended sentences word for word, from Michelle Obama's speech at the 2008 Democratic convention. Just watched the comparison on TV. Really embarrassing.

This will be all over the news today. It already is. It could prove devastating for Trump's campaign if they don't handle this properly.

Michael Caputo, former Trump campaign adviser, about the speech writer: "I would have been fired for this. There is no question about that."

Poor Melania. She may have had nothing to do with that.

Yes Al, Common Sense, really. Fact is that Hillary's lies are all documented and proven, not just the email server but many others including the you tube video lie about Benghazi the timeline that it happened including her decisions that led to deaths of our ambassador and personal, she even couldn't help herself but lie about sniper fire in Bosnia and for what? But that's what compulsive liars do, lie! Her and Barack's failures in the Middle East, with Russia, China, Iran, North Korea and Israel are also facts as are allegations of cover up of her husband's indiscretions while office and the numerous criminal investigations of her and her family's affairs while in public service are also facts as are allegations against Clinton Foundation, its misuse of donations, not to mention what they ripped off in Haiti. But everything you say about the Trump is opinion, not factual and that's why there's this movie because you on the left are either conveniently dismissing reality or have forgotten what she is. I don't know what you do Al but businesses do fail and the more do you'll have a more failures than someone that has risked anything. Lawsuits are dime a dozen in this country and none of this ever caused this;



nor did he destroy a nation like her and Barack did and callously laugh it off, this is the disgusting person you're voting for!

Now regarding Hillary's competence that you're confident about, please point to one example in all these years of office, lying and lining her own pockets don't count!

I just don't understand lefties infatuation with Sarah Palin because by all accounts she was a good governor and but she's marginalized by the left for sport. What has Pailin done to you or this country to bring her up all the time. So she made some mistakes in an interview, big f'ing deal. Look at the buffoon who's actually in a prominent position and constantly making a fool of himself and us as a nation. You want to talk about hurting the little guy, the last 7.5 years take the cake and we still have his $20 trillion tab to pay along with the trillions that the Fed printed and threw at the stock market. For the record the divisive narcissist you mentioned, same guy!

Yes Al, Common Sense, really. Fact is that Hillary's lies are all documented and proven, not just the email server but many others including the you tube video lie about Benghazi the timeline that it happened including her decisions that led to deaths of our ambassador and personal,

Eight congressional Benghazi investigations, most of them led by Republicans, have found no wrong-doing on Hillary's part with respect to Benghazi. There has not been found any evidence for the claim that there was a stand-down order, a central myth of the book and movie "Thirteen Hours".

There is no there there with respect to Benghazi. That Benghazi has become a right-wing obsession does not change the fact. Eight congressional Benghazi investigations, most of them led by Republicans, have said so. You can look it up.

The persistent stiffing of contractors by Trump has been well documented, also by the conservative Wall Street Journal. Look it up. Of course with these practices you can always be "under budget". But would you want to be on the receiving side of that? No, you wouldn't.

As for the other things, you have stated your opinion, and I have stated mine. I will leave it at that.

You should read, however, the link about Top Republicans supporting Hillary Clinton. Their opinions should prove very instructive.

So yes, Common Sense, David.

Elections, boy are they divisive. Then in almost an instant it's over. In an ideal world, the loser respects the winner and the winner assumes his duty to serve even those that were against him/her. Heck, even if the ideal doesn't happen, I'll take THAT to a dictatorship. It ain't perfect America but from a global perspective, count yourselves lucky.

Rant over.

 

[Al M.]

And by the way, David, Mitt Romney from your home state Utah also said that Trump is unfit to be President and that he is a (business) fraud.

You voted for Mitt Romney four years ago, remember? So what happened? His opinion does not count? Oh, I forgot, "he choked", according to Trump.

Also your senator, Mike Lee, has refused to endorse Trump. One of his concerns was the Muslim ban, the testing by religion. Mormons are, justifiedly, quite sensitive to this kind of thing. And in general Trump does not play very well in Utah, for this and other reasons. There was even an article in the conservative Wall Street Journal about that *).

Thanks for that Jack. It puts things in perspective.
