      My dad excitedly took me to see that Vice movie with Christian Bale as Cheney. Its pretty lib and they lay it on pretty thick with the whole "this man is a heartless monster" subtext. He even has this whole like villain monologue at the end of the film basically saying "there had to be a war." Walking back to the car my dad dead ass looks at me and says "he was right you know, there had to be a war."

        I remember sitting in my parent's room one morning with them and they turned on a channel with some movie about GWB for a bit and it was this scene where Bush or someone is talking about how if they invade Iraq they will pin in Iran and something about oil and that always stuck with me for some reason even when I was kind of chuddy.

        I think it's that way with alot of stuff, first you try and justify it to yourself and after awhile you can't, atleast that's what happened to me but I was a kid/teenager when I grappled with this stuff.

          I’m on Season five of my first watch through. It’s an amazing show but Tony is so fucking frustrating. He can’t control his guys, he can’t control his anger, he can’t control any of his vices. And it always backfires on him. Truly a character you love to hate but hate to love.
