It would be wonderful if democrats could put country before their own ambitions.

The state we are in is broadly due to the egos of HRC, RBG, and Biden.

You however do shoulder some of the blame, so please and thank you, do not run in 2028.

Timothy Dalton’s Scrapped Third James Bond Movie With Terminator-Style Robots Just Might Have Been the Best — or Worst — Thing To Happen to the Franchise "In my business you prepare for the unexpected."

Every James Bond actor is its own independent version of Bond. There’s no canonical relationship between the portrayals. It’s a long shot but bring back Dalton for his cancelled third film..

Doctor Who was organically picking up a new generation of fans when the whole back catalogue was on Netflix, they pulled that in around 2013, and pushed it to BBC America (a channel most people did not have) and were surprised when it wasn’t doing well…

The BBC has made one boneheaded decision after another when it comes to screening British TV in the USA. BBC America basically just shows reruns of Star Trek Next Generation and Graham Norton. It’s been bouncing around Doctor Who from streaming service to streaming service.

Unveiled in 1987, it was created by Welsh sculptor David Petersen and features a red dragon atop a three-metre plinth, tearing at barbed wire - a striking tribute to Welsh bravery.

Standing near the village of Mametz, France, it remains a powerful symbol of remembrance.

That’s what they tend to do. You are new to this party, but anyone that’s been around for a while is more that accustomed to this spineless behavior.
