The Dick Cheney Dossier...
Hollywood Reporter ^ | 19 Nov 2018 | Tatiana Siegel

Posted on 11/19/2018 7:56:28 PM PST by Rummyfan

Full title: The Dick Cheney Dossier: Inside Adam McKay’s Searing Exposé of D.C.'s "Ultimate Gamesman" in 'Vice'

It's the eve of the midterm elections, and Adam McKay is feeling optimistic about the Democrats' prospects of taking back the house.

Still, the SNL writer turned Oscar-winning filmmaker insists he is not throwing a results-viewing party with his Hollywood friends, even as I spot an assistant carrying supplies from Whole Foods into his West Hollywood offices. Instead, McKay, looking like a college professor with a corduroy jacket and scarf, says he is planning to hang out at his house with his wife, director Shira Piven (Jeremy's sister), their two daughters and his mother-in-law, and together they will "very calmly and somberly watch the results," he says.

"I will not make the mistake I made in 2016, when we had a party in New York while we were in the midst of preproduction on Succession," says McKay, referencing the HBO breakout about a ruthless media family dynasty (that looks a lot like the Murdoch clan). "I was 100 percent Bernie Sanders, but once Sanders didn't win, I was like, 'All right. Let's all be grown-ups. I now support Hillary Clinton.' And once she was running against Trump, it was the easiest choice you'd ever have to make. I was very excited because I have two daughters, and we were going to have a woman president. And I just thought, 'That's awesome!'"

I will definitely be skipping this. I think Christian Bale is a tremendous actor but... no.

Pure character assassination that only Hollyweird is allowed to do to Republicans.

That dude may be very educated and “broad”, but he’s only about 1/4” deep. Imagine; a career lying, conniving, thieving babykiller as a role model for one’s daughters.

No need to read any further than that. The writer just excluded himself from any rational commentary.

Funny thing is after I posted this earlier,

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3707049/posts

we went to the movies this afternoon (free tkts) and there was a preview of this POS box office bomb. What a load. Anyway, like I said in earlier post, proudly hanging in the hallway is a Cold War Cert signed by the other “Donald”. I.e., Rumsfeld. Yeah, we will NOT be going to see this unless it’s a double header with a full expose of what a total POS obxxx was/is.

Being “grown up” would preclude choosing a candidate because she is the same sex as you or your daughters.
Instead it’s as immature as one can get.

So you’re another fan of the Bush-Cheney administration? I know that Freepers used to be big Bush - Cheney defenders, but I thought we’d outgrown that

Sorry, but I can’t defend the Bush-Cheney administration. They launched wars that Trump has called “insane”, costing $7 trillion. They left our borders open. They ran up the deficit to unpredicted heights. And they left us with the biggest financial crisis since 1929.

Republican voters’ choice of Trump was a rebuke and rejection of the Bush-Cheney administration

No, actually I’m not a defender or supporter at all. Shrub’s decision to not secure our borders had a serious negative impact on my life, and he all but paved the way for Zero. My complaint about this “movie” is that it is merely another character assassination, Hollyweird-style, that they’d never do with a Demonrat.

How ‘bout a movie done about Plugs Biden, and how that nutjob and pervert was a heartbeat away from the presidency ? That should scare the $hit out of the public. Even Zero knew he was there to be VP as assassination insurance. Or movies about the various horrors in power populating the Fascist-Stalinist Demonrat party ? That’s a gold mine right there.

This is why I stopped going to movies years ago. I don’t even use RedBox anymore, and we cut our cable TV last year. Everyone involved in stuff like this... actors, directors, producers... are absolute scumbags that hate me and mine, and the feeling is mutual now. I swear to God Himself, I think the world would instantly be a better place if California and the Blue Check cities all collapsed into the ocean.

Cheney was integral to all of Bush’s decisions. Bush was a terrible president, and because Cheney had such a big role , that makes him a terrible Vice President. Hollywood can take as many shots at him as they want, I have interest or reason to defend him

Biden was as bad as Cheney. I wouldn’t defend either of them.

They’re all part of the unipartyists establishment. See how Bush and Obama act like soul mates these days. Cheney was an integral part of the disastrous Bush presidency

I agree. They knew all about Obama and didn’t do a thing about the avowed enemy of our country.
