(2,108 posts)Two strong female leads, a detective and the M.E. it's smart for a cable detective show without being macabre.

(5,049 posts)His cranky old white supremacist base... the one thing this ad does do is expose Trump's world view as a scary dark place where whites must fear everything and everyone. Only armed forces inside the US can protect white people from the dangers in their community. Only a strong and aggressive military can protect white America from the rest of the world.
This is a sick man with a twisted view of the US and our place in the world.
