Where's Jack Bauer? I mean, doesn't this all *feel* like an episode of 24 come to life?

[First Speaker]

...the desperate, insane President is just about to do something utterly mad, like push the Button. Jack managed to keep the Capitol Hill Riot from becoming a true coup, now he's waiting in the wings somewhere to save the day at the last minute. Or so I hope...

1. That show was a RW wet dream.

[First Speaker]

3. Not necessarily...

...Jack was friendly with, and an ally of, a Dem black President...and brought down a Nixonian GOP President. I heard Kiefer Sutherland once say that the show tried to avoid being ideologically predictable...

4. They loved it because it supported torture

that was the main reason. That and being able to just bust open heads of people who don’t comply with orders - basically the police problem we have had for a while.

[Ferrets are Cool]

5. I agree. He broke every law there was.

I stopped watching after the first season because I was too dumb to realized it at first.

[FarPoint]

2. I was thinking about that....

Yes...creepy with a hint of realism now...

When is the next State of the Union address with President Biden?

6. Watch Designated Survivor.

It’s a lot like 24 in many respects.
