Some believe that The Simpsons represents the apogee of Western philosophy.
The Brandon Administration must be among them: Biden Admin uses Tom Hanks for ‘credibility’ in new video, just like ‘The Simpsons Movie’
In a 2007 episode, the Simpsons predicted “that government would become so inept they’d need to enlist the help of actor Tom Hanks to gain back credibility.”
As some wag once said, “you can’t make this stuff up.” Or can you?
As you may recall however, The Simpsons has a long track record of predicting the future. For example, the Ebola outbreak of 2014-2016, Marge was all over it – in 1997!
So what at first appears as an anomaly is simply another example of art imitating life…imitating art.

But I think it's weird that in the Marvel Captain America movies, they explained that our government had been taken over by a sort of "Deep State". That the CIA (SHIELD) that we thought was protecting us was really a NAZI organization (HYDRA) that had been controlling the US since WWII.
I think it's odd that Hollywood casually made a movie ("The Circle") which shows Google/Facebook spying on everyone and controlling everyone in an evil way. Hey! Look behind that curtain! Do you like what you see?
I think it's weird that the Biden Administration is following advice from an old "Simpsons" episode.
It's like the Bad Guys are compelled to tell everyone that they are the Bad Guys. And these Bad Guys seem to really get off on the knowledge that no one really cares -- "Where am I going? And why am I in this hand-basket?"
While I appreciate his acting abilities, I have no respect for him as an American. He appears to spew the propaganda of this totalitarian administration, either because he believes in their policies or he’s just doing it for the money. Either way . . .
