WFBs attempt to emulate us ; ) No pushing at the door please!
Well, the democrat-socialist-communists couldn’t conquer the US from without, so they got in behind and are doing the from within the government and universities: right effront’reyes in fact.
And the nation’s news media are leading the effort.
The level of Barry’s effrontery
Surpasses Bill Clinton’s adultery
“Rogue agents in Cincy”
Trumps licks from Lewinsky
Fake outrage, the key to “transparency”
That might be a mistake. :)

I finished watching AD last night. It didn’t really have an ending or tie together any of the various plots.
I did like how you some of the scenes became more sensible when you saw them from another character’s perspective.
It was OK, but failed to have an overarching logic. They tied everything into the hotel with the various events going on and to Cinco de Quatro, but there was nothing there.
Is it supposed to be a mystery what happened to Lucille 2?
We’re to believe that Lindsey and Tobias were sitting in adjacent rows on a plane and didn’t see each other?
How does pretending to build a wall make the case for not building a wall?
With all that investment, couldn’t they actually hire people to make Fakeblock real?
I understand the limitations that had to work with in terms of shooting the cast as different times. It’s just that the ride was as time enjoyable but there was no destination.
Like Steve Holt, it’s better days were years ago.
i keep hope alive that somehow, someway, they will be made to pay for all they’ve done!
