Obamas coming to Netflix

[cytg111]

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/21/us/politics/barack-obama-netflix-show.html

The former president has told associates that he does not intend to use the new platform to wage a public campaign against his successor in the Oval Office, or to fight against conservative voices that populate media outlets like Fox News.

Instead, a release from Netflix said the Obamas will produce “scripted series, unscripted series, docu-series, documentaries and features” that highlight issues and themes the president pursued during his eight years in office.

“One of the simple joys of our time in public service was getting to meet so many fascinating people from all walks of life, and to help them share their experiences with a wider audience,” Mr. Obama said in a statement. “That’s why Michelle and I are so excited to partner with Netflix — we hope to cultivate and curate the talented, inspiring, creative voices who are able to promote greater empathy and understanding between peoples, and help them share their stories with the entire world.”

"When they go low we go high"
- Someone once said

When? Dont know, part of me wishes Trump is still in office cause no matter what it would troll the shit out of him.... can you imagine the tweets after each episode? Would be glorious.

 

[fleshconsumed]

Yeah, that was my first thought when I saw the headline - Trump is going to have a major case of jelly... I wouldn't be surprised if he lashes out on twitter in the next day or two.

 

[sactoking]

Well this is clearly Obama trying to profit off his presidency and either should be illegal or should nullify everything he did while in office.

Troll level a perfect 2/10. Next.
edit : Seems like sactoking bypassed my sarcasm filter. My bad.

Streaming “tax” coming to Netflix the second it gains viewers
Or
Many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many

Presidential tweets about how much better his shows ratings were.

I hope they thank Trump in their Emmy acceptance speech.

On second thought maybe not since he'd probably have to be physically wrestled away from the nuclear football, bathrobe askew, to be kept from loosing a couple Minuteman IIIs against LA.

 

[brycejones]

Why didn't the FBI investigate Obama's dealings with Netflix during his administration? There had to be collusion and it isn't fair the deep state has covered it up.

So unfair

Don't feel too bad, I am just lucky I made it to the end of the thread before I replied to him. Guess I gotta stop using these old rechargeable batteries in mine, must be going bad.

Read some of the right wing twitter responses here (the Obamas are apparently terrorists and money launderers with their books and stuff):

Doesn't Donald have his own TV station on the net, or something like that?
And not to mention, a second TV station of his own called FOX NEWS?
So that makes what, two?

If anything about Obama appearing on Netflix pisses off Trump and his base, its only that Obama thought of doing this first.

And just wait.

If the democrats fail to retake the senate and house, Trump will have free reign in 2018 to ensure he wins in 2020.
If the congress remains in republican hands, we will have a full hard right fundamental US Supreme Court come 2020.
If not by 2020, then easily come 2024.
And all the people can kiss their voting rights goooooood byeeeee.

I sure hope Obama changes his mind about this.
That being... his comment that he "does not intend to use the new platform to wage a public campaign against his successor".
What is it with these liberals.....?
Come-on fellas, come-on Obama, toss away those wussy hats and go directly for the throat, for once.
You'd think Obama and the likes of would have had enough of this right winged Trump attack crap by now.

Hell, liberals lost an election AND everything that Obama achieved during his eight years has been or is in the process of total annihilation.
These Trump republicans seek to wipe away any and every hint that Obama ever existed.
Soon, they will claim that Obama had nothing to do with the death of Bin Laden.
They will claim that Bin Laden simply fell down the stairs at his compound resulting in his own accidental death.
And if that doesn't do it, they will claim the demise of Bin Laden actually occurred after Trump took office, not before.

If Obama doesn't take advantage of his new found Netflix fame and go after Donald Trump, the Trump family, Trump's VP, and the entire republican congress then what is the point???
What does Obama plan to do on Netflix, make cute doggie and kitty films?
Geeeze.....

Imagine if Obama took the fucking gloves off? People would do a double take and be like holy shit, if this motherfucker is that pissed off what IS going on? I gotta listen to this shit!

Meh, I kind of like how former presidents leave the spotlight. I remember hearing how GWB wasn't going to attack Obama, and thus far Obama hasn't gone after Trump. This country is divided enough without having "Party Wars" on Netflix.

I'm sure the current President attacking the previous President and the former front runner, still to this day, have nothing to do with that divide.

I think they got this down. You remember Baracks statement about what he was going to do now after the presidency? He was going to help shape the minds of the next generation of leaders. With a platform like netflix he can help shape the minds of everyone else too. These guys are playing the long game, I think the long game is where this battle is won. Besides another voice crying faul is not likely to change much anyway.
I forgot where this quote is from but to me its very very true

"Dont argue with idiots, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience"

Dont get in a pissing contest with a master pisser and Trump is a master pisser.

The problem is they aren't necessarily idiots. Incompetent at times and sometimes totally stupid but they managed to straight up win the presidency of the United States. They also hold extremely high positions of power. They figured out how to manipulate a large part of our population and constantly evolve that paradigm.

Thats exactly what I see Obamas chipping away at here.
The presidency was stolen and I think we will see Trump removed and a lot of people going away for a long time.
You are probably going to have a very very very cold front towards Russia for a decade or two and/or when Putin is dead of old age..

I agree, I wonder how a former President Trump will act. Especially if it’s a Democrat and especially if they verbally trash him (Trump) for their first year in office.

Russia picked a good candidate

Trump is disgraceful in office... he's going to be an absolute embarrassment as a former President, assuming his terrible health habits keep him around for much longer. With that said, it would be fun to see his impotent rage if a Democrat wins and undoes all his disastrous policies. The country would be getting back on track and there'd be nothing he could do to screw it up.

Agreed. I still believe the office is always more important than the individual, and the only way that POTUS survives the tenure of crackpot despots like Trump is for all other POTUS's to stand above the fray, despite the bitter unwillingness of cognitive toddlers like Trump to do so.

Some people are triggered enough to be calling for a boycot of Netflix:

The same ass hats who rage about SJWs, PC, so called safe spaces etc, etc, etc,

The ironing is so delicious.

Oh yea, its all ready beginning ... my schadenfreuden barometer just gained a notch, I feel much better... I think everytime a right wing nutter has a fit I gain 10 seconds of life somehow.

Just more proof that we need two Americas in my mind.
