is a problem, the new Netflix comedy series.
1. In it you will see Fred Willard's last work, and he is HYSTERICAL! Greg Daniels said when he was done shooting what he had done that day, the improvisation he had done, the entire crew put their equipment down, stood up and applauded, which is rare, he says.
2. I like it but even before I read the reviews I was bothered by how they normalized the traitor or Rump if you will..they never mention him by name but it is clear it is him as this was his idea in the first place and there is constant mention of him and FLOTUS and it is clearly them.
3. In fact one review points out how they dont go after Rump at all but they do go after AOC, as they have a character who is clearly her and they mock her for trying to point out citizens need food, not space toys.
I doubt the producers and writers have an affection for rump, but they sure went out of their way to normalize him and took very few comedy digs at him.

(902 posts)There's been discussions for probably 20 years on creating some type of Space Force. It finally got some traction as it became obvious that the mainstream Air Force was not giving space the attention that it needs, being distracted with boondoggles like F-35 (not that space doesn't have its own boondoggles).
Dumbass just latched onto it as a way to get attention.
