Art imitating life

Post by Scooter »

Is there anyone who believes that the storyline about invoking the 25th Amendment on this week's episode of Secretary of State was not a direct shot at the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue?

Do you refer to Madam Secretary? If so, the writers often look to current White House events for story lines.

I haven't seen yesterday's episode yet. I'll report back as I catch up on episodes since before Xmas.

Yah, if they had been any more heavy-handed about it I would've suffered head trauma.

Unfortunately, Trump's problem is not the sudden manifestation of a brain tumor; he's been an unmoored asshole for the last 35 years, at least.
GAH!
