Re: What shows are you currently watching?

I watched the Artful Dodger last week. It was so fun. It somehow managed to capture the spirit of Dickens despite it not being a Dickens story, nor being set in England. Outstanding cast, very high level production, snappy comedic script and just great fun to watch. The only caveat would be the surg...

Re: Donald Trump

Trump has named many of his cabinet picks and possible VP picks, and it's worse than you can possibly imagine! For instance Tucker Carlson has been put forward as a possible VP along with MTG! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gJBjAeqc6I Steve Bannon for chief of staff! I watched that video, they se...
