No, "can we talk to each other" is not the question. Where is the truth and reality in the show? Where is the fact checking? Just exchanging lies isn't a conversation. Just another version of the Howard Beal show in "Network."
Beal: "We will tell you any shit we want."

At one time, television news would have made this the top story on the evening network news. The real sycophants are the national news networks who cower in fear of the mad king.

Trump lie about the law? Heaven forbid. Peters is probably pounding on the prison bars and telling the guards: "but I was pardoned."

A tanker fell off the back of the truck? Trump has turned the military into a force for larceny ahd theft. This is sickening. I'm tired of the mobbed up government.

Clear and Present Danger
Harrison Ford as Jack Ryan. Highly relevant today, given the military operations against Venezuela. (Unfortunately Jack Ryan isn't here to stop the president.)
