[Avoided Z]

"Z" was a 1969 film directed by the Marxist director Costra-Gavras based on the Lambrakis affair in Greece in the Sixties. In the film, as the Greek military is linked to the murder of Lambrakis, the military reacts by overthrowing the civilian government in a coup d'etat.

In real life, the Lambrakis killing and the coup were not connected, but it was a good dramatic point.

Thanks. I had no idea what Z was.

In the film Z, the military reacts by overthrowing the civilian government in a coup d’etat.

So by electing Trump, securing the Senate, and making it possible for Trump to confirm Kavanaugh, we avoided a military coup.

Tom Clancy would be loving this. Are we sure he’s dead?

As a Yute, I found Z to be a pretty good Movie.
