If you're losing faith in DC...Mr. Smith Goes to Washington is on TCM at 8pm est

Posted on 02/16/2018 3:52:25 PM PST by Vision

Jimmy "All American Hero" Stewart was being slandered and fighting corruption to exhaustion back then.

At that time, in reality, the US Senate tried to stop the movie from being released.

If Mr. Smith went to Washington DC today, he’d have CNN camped outside his house, the FBI bankrupting him with legal fees, and government debt-funded SJW’s throwing urine on him when he appeared in public.

If you're losing faith in DC...

You need to wake up and see what is going. No one should have any faith in DC. DC is not going to fix itself. It's the problem, not the solution.

You’re thinking of this place all wrong. As if I had the emails back on a server. The emails are not here. Your emails are on Joe’s server...right next to yours. And in the Kennedy server, and Mrs. Macklin’s server, and a hundred others.

I just watched The Man Who Killed Liberty Valance this year and Jimmy gave a darn good performance in the flick.

That Washington DC is long gone. Now a days there is nothing that remainsof the old extreme left that’s extreme to them anymore and even the so-called “moderates” are a bunch of spendthrift, amnesty mad Swamp dwelling loons.

Sad to hear Mitt Romney is running for senate, and calling Trump a fraud.
Why Mitt? Why?
FUMR

Losing faith?

I lost faith in the federal government a long time ago.

If Mr. Smith went to Washington today?

The congress, FBI/DOJ, IRS, MSM, DNC, RNC, and all of their POS flunkies and sycophants would crucify him.

Kind of like the what they’re trying to pull with President Trump right now.

I successfully avoided the swamp on the Potomac for my entire career, Sent some saps up there with pickled pigs lips in their briefcases though.

They’d snap the case open in front of the brass to pitch a proposal..

“excuse me, what is THAT”?

Ummm Pickled pig lips Sir....

I was always struck at how callously the bad guys were willing to treat children in the movie. These days that would be political gold for the opposition.

Those were the days of child labor laws. Children had little value.

Well Mr. Trump did go to Washington and it looks like “the resistance” is a mainstay even from the 1930s/40s...but Trump’s still the president...let’s not forget.

No need. I already watched “Mr. Trump Goes to Washington” last January. It was a very good film.
