Anybody watching this show? I watched the first 4 episodes over the last few days. It is interesting subject matter but I hate the way they have stylized the show. It is like "Tarentino does Watergate" or something. 

The scary thing is that there are operatives like Liddy and Hunt who have made a life out of ratfucking and trying to influence our politics. Kind of what Roger Stone has done. They are basically trolls for a living. Its really not funny. They try to make this series a comedy and when I really think about what these guys did, it isn't funny at all.

    I have....good show but I get what you are saying about the Tarantino effect.

    I kind of feel like they are letting us know what morons these guys were in real life.

    to me it is glorifying it. almost encouraging it.

    I Just saw the Shit for Brains President is running again.  Don’t the Dummycrats have anyone else to run out there?  At this point someone should be charged w/ elderly abuse….I am actually starting to feel sorry for slow Joe….

    I have to point out the inconsistency of your use of "2". Why use it 2 substitute for the first "to" but not the other three?

    I believe she was and there may be recordings of her talking to him. I believe the library of congress may have just released them recently. I heard excerpts somewhere.

    i read that not everyone died in that crash. seems strange as these days it seems like there are never any survivors.
