What is there to question? It's a documentary no one wants or asked for paid for by someone who just wants to be in cheeto's favor? It's not some Scooby doo mystery, we know who's under the mask.

There's a craigslist post paying people $50 to sit through it on launch night in the boston craigslist.

I wonder if this is an insidious plan to boost numbers or more of a "I'll give you 50 bucks to sit through this terrible movie" thing.

That figure is missing some zeros if it intends to be effective.

So you know how Ceaușescu's Romania had propaganda songs made about Ceaușescu's wife Elena?
Yeah. This is like that.

Bezos must be getting tired of his Latina Laura Loomer. Can't believe he spent $38 billion for that pootang.
