YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS (Apple+): Deliriously nasty. It's like a John D. MacDonald novel from 1962 with a lot more sex and no good guy. Enjoyable.

Floating the idea of a 3rd term is just Trump's way of winding up what MAGA folks like to call "the libtards." The real damage is what he can do in the next 3.6 years when he never has to face the electorate again. Don't expect the Repubs to stop him.
