I throughly enjoyed the “Get Me Roger Stone” documentary I watched on Netflix last night.

Watching him flash his big Richard Nixon tattoo is priceless!!

Netflix already has some Obama documentaries.

Can’t wait to see this backfiring on them and they lose customers.

Ask me how glad I am that I cancelled Netflix earlier this week. :-)

While I think any such production will only be a load of recycled crap with the intent of creating a false legacy, Netflix has the right to produce it. I only wish they would be fair enough to fund a rebuttal documentary pointing out his failures and potential corruption. Dialogues in mainstream media have become too one sided, often obscuring relevant facts and events to promote the desired result of one side. I continue to ask, why can’t conservatives come up with an alternative to liberal Hollywood and the heavily biased MSM?

Below is the email I crafted for my family/friends at 0300 this morning when I couldn’t sleep, checked Drudge and saw the article:

All,

It is not often that I send out group emails because we all get too much junk mail every day. And even though I sent it “bcc” please don’t respond as your reaction and response is your business.

But, we are at war - spiritual warfare, and how each of us wage that war is as individual and personal as how much time we spend reading our Bible and praying each day. I don’t do those things nearly enough so this may be a God provided opportunity to do them more.

The issue is that Netflix has offered former president Obama a platform to produce “shows.” Please read the article as it explains very clearly the intent of this cooperation. The vast majority of news and social media already has an extremely liberal viewpoint. But, that is not enough for these “progressives.” Social media platforms (including YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.) are so intolerant that they are now openly purging the accounts of so called “extremists” who hold anti-liberal views. These “right wing extremists” include supporters of 2nd Amendment gun rights, anti-abortionists, those who question anthropocentric global warming (now conveniently morphed to “climate change”), and of course those who support the traditional Biblical view of marriage between biological men and women.

Since there are still too many unbelievers who are not in lockstep with the liberal worldview, Netflix is now going to provide Mr. Obama with a platform to further propagandize the liberal “progressive” message. Dare I say “Satanic” worldview. In the words of the iconic Mark Levin “There, I SAID IT - I said Satanic!”

So what now? I do watch Netflix quite a bit, they have some good shows and documentaries. How you fight is your own business, but I contacted Netflix and informed them that if they indeed hire Obama to produce content, then I will permanently cancel my membership and encourage my family/friends to do the same.
Maybe I should have already done this, so I could spend more time reading God’s Word and interceding on your behalf...

If this comes to pass, I bet much of his and the Mooch will be required viewing in public schools.

It will be widely considered racist to not watch.

Dang it! I don’t want to have to cancel Netflix! My only hope is that this show will bomb terribly. Also ... I will block it.

So will this be a spin off of “Orange is the new Black”?

Black is the new Orange?

Possible titles for Obama’s shows:
1. The Empty Suit
2. HopeAndChangeMan (a superhero show)
3. How to Fix Your Teleprompter

They already have a name and a poster ...

What does “provide a show” even mean?

Laura Ingraham was discussing this on her radio show today. If it means suggesting show ideas, she though one might be "Farrakhan and Friends." Obama and Screwy Louie with a few choice guests ... she was hilarious.

“President and Mrs. Obama have always believed in the power of storytelling to inspire,” Eric Schultz, a senior adviser to the former president, said Thursday.

... and they’ve told some whoppers.

What’s the title going to be: “Half-black is the New Black”? Or “Barry’s Bath House Capers”?

"That’s fine. I won’t watch it. Anytime I saw his face or heard his voice when he was in office I’d turn the channel. Still do it today."

Same here. It's one of the many reasons I stopped watching Fox News because I couldn't stand to see his face, or hear his voice everyday. And I record all my programs, so when his or Moochie's ugly puss show up in a TV program, or a movie, I can fast-forward through their ugliness.

"Travelogue to Mombassa."

Maybe we'll luck out, and be able to watch him get eaten by a crocodile.
