Seriously if you've never seen Wag the Dog, it's absolutely vital in this geopolitical moment.

The pizza orders were off the charts last night around the Pentagon so the truly paranoid could easily believe this was a planned loss of an F-15.

I am not that paranoid but it is funny to see.

Personally I can't help but think of "The Brink", although that show indicated there was one competent person involved...

@quinn I queued Wag the Dog up a few months ago like I did Contagion in 2020. I'm not sure I can actually watch it.

@edwiebe I have to admit I absolutely hate that movie. It's cynical and frankly wrong and people have been using it to put down anyone they don't agree with since it came out.

Is Donald Trump the Herald of 'Idiocracy'?

10 years after the arrival of Mike Judge's satirical comedy 'Idiocracy' have we finally surpassed the dystopian future with the rise of Donald Trump?
