    What a coincidence, I was bitching about how far away his communication skills are from anything Sorkin has ever written a mere 2 days ago:

    And to think i used to be mildly annoyed by sterile bureaucratic politician speak.

    Edit: or one day ago as of the original time of the top post. Having a life is hard, I wanna go back to being a chronically online teenager with time to waste and the certainty that I could solve all the world’s problems.

    I have said since the first time this abomination was in the white house that their only experience in government was watching The West Wing.

    Which is fictional. And not the same as actual knowledge.

      I kinda figured it was more of a show that liberals watched and maybe way too woke. I never watched it, so I guess I don’t have the best context.

    This admin makes West Wing feel absurdly optimistic. Hell, this admin makes Veep seem aspirational.

        It was both, and that’s the problem. If that’s what our optimism looked like, what chance did we even stand?

        Been awhile since I watched that video, but I believe he does arrive at that point or something similar. Good video, would recommend, don’t have another 1:30 to dedicate to a rewatch right now.

        Oh BULLSHIT what the fuck is this 90 minute quack job. Were you even born when this show was on?

        The only difference between this and the average Qanon conspiracy video flooding YouTube is they properly cite their sources.

        This reminds me if a video about how the JFK that was assassinated was actually a clone and you could tell by the (ridiculously pixelated) zoom images of his outer ear.
