Best Bond idea all year.
Maybe we can have just one more James Bond film with Pierce Brosnan. Playing Bond at Pierce Brosnan's real-life age. He has to AVOID action, though sometimes he has no choice. Relies mainly on brains, not brawn.

This is partly bc Mike Johnson is a shithole, and partly bc Trump has domesticated and threatened even the right wingers, but Stephen Miller has to be a significant part of this, bc he's an even bigger asshole than all the others.

I don't think the American military, in this era of instant GPS, mistakenly lands anywhere. This is a purposed affront to another nation's sovereignty and an act of cynical intimidation by some venal shitbirds who somehow are in command of our government.
DOD contractors “mistakenly” landed on a Mexican beach, declared it US property and planted “restricted area” DOD signs, triggering a tense confrontation with armed Mexican forces.
Mexico removed the signs, insisting the area is theirs.
Yet another example of total incompetence.

The president doesn’t have just one problem when it comes to groceries; he has three related problems.
