I like I like it for what it is.  An entertaining TV show.

I can do better.  Sorry guys, I can't find anything uplifting about it.  The story telling is thin.  Like much of the tripe on cable, it only seems to serve as a vehicle to stretch the shock envelop on TV.


And what can you do better with?

Frankly, even with the reduced power a Prime Minister would have, the leader of the United States could still be a dangerous individual.
After all, we are much more likely than the Dutch to ship our military out on global 'adventures'.


Or do an IRS audit of notables who disagree with policy. Sounds close to totalitarianism to me.

Only if you have something to hide.
I have always found the IRS a breeze to deal with.
Just don't jerk them around and you are fine.


The point is power to direct the IRS to audit someone who disagrees with your policy as a veiled threat is an abuse of power. Something a king might do.

Its not about IRS process. Unless they have the ability to find things that weren't there.
