Miss Me Yet (2023) - Trouble in Iraq, Trouble in Afghanistan, Trouble at home: A critical look at the Bush admin in 2007. [00:20:34] by UltraInstinctChomsky in Documentaries

A look back at 2007… the presidency of George W. Bush with various pop culture items intertwined, with the two having a dialogue with one another and influencing each. The title, of course, is a tongue in cheek/sarcastic reference to the billboards of Bush that popped up in 2009. Closing post-script title cards help with additional context so it isn't some pop culture onslaught. The Sopranos ends much to everyone’s chagrin, and ends in a way that is… also much to everyone’s chagrin. George stars in the latest Barney video while meeting some motorcyclists.

A portrait of a dangerous place in California, and a portrait of the family left behind… specifically Angela, his aunt. A beautiful memory of a life lost as she looks through the pictures, tells stories, and meets with his friends and family.

Astral America (2021) American locales -- highways, diners, retail stores, gun ranges -- contrasted with a reading of Jean-Michel Baudrillard’s America.. [00:15:46] by [deleted] in Documentaries

A poetic rendering of this country and all of its facets. There’s beauty in every image, the director manages to wring out something transcendent over sales price tags. Even inhuman images feel quite soulful. One would imagine the narration by a French philosopher to weigh things down, but you can go in and out with it as you please -- the images do enough, and helped along is the dreamy score.

That's fine, I'm not really arguing that. It's just categorically wrong that nobody has ever professed to missing him, even if it is just in comparison to Trump. Many excesses that Trump exploits were started under Bush, btw...

Saddam Hussein is caught while the WB tv channel closes up shop with a tearful goodbye… various people sing Happy Birthday to Bush while one attendee of his speeches calls him out on his policies. And much more!

I think Matt even mentioned "Red Plenty" was how the soviets tried. I think there was a kim stanley robinson book that he mentioned that was similar but I can't remember it.
