Started a copyedit this morning: "There had been so many times where everything could go wrong, where their world could end, where the one painful pitiful spark of hope would die, but those other moments had all gone by so fast they were hard to recall clearly.

Strip clubs, topless bars, Hooters etc have an opportunity to do something really funny and insist on making their workforce 50% male in order to comply with anti-DEI mandates. Those ladies are taking jobs away from red-blooded American men who need the work

I feel like the writers got us with teasing that this season was going to be about an addled clown who loves crimes destroying America, but then revealing there's two of them. It was right there in the PRESIDENT 47: HIITLERS title I guess.

‘Magna Carta’ is the plural form of ‘Magnum Cartum’, the Latin for ‘ice-cream van’. The Vatican required the Latin name to be used and the vans to be heralded by monastic plainsong. Henry VIII famously broke from Rome so that the vans would be able to play Greensleeves instead.
