Yesterday I watched the Tom Hanks film Bridge of Spies, based on a true story. In it, within the first hour, there's a loud rant about the principles of the American justice system and what makes Americans American.
The main reason was the Constitution and its integrity.
This added to the overwhelming fear of communism made the film a political satire in the present day.
When you look at how the Trump administration makes a mockery of the Constitution and is allied with the communists, it's hard to believe we are even talking about the same nation.
I recommend watching the film even if you've already seen it.
A nighty night jam from the land of 1980s one hit wonders: I like what they did with the name of the album this one’s off of, a nod to Robin Trower’s “Bridge of Sighs” from ‘74.

One of the eternal film quotes. It came up in another exchange yesterday, since then I have re-watched the clip over and over again, in awe and gratitude. Many will know the film and will appreciate the quote.
Watch it again. A dose of stoicism is what we all need today.
Mark Rylance is perhaps the best actor we have on stage or film. In these scenes, he truly is what he says.
