Voter Fraud Found! and Space Force (TV series)
Today's a two-fer, so let's get right to it.
Voter Fraud Found!
Voter fraud in the US has been like Bigfoot - really hard to find. Comes news over the weekend that we've found three cases of it: Trump, Kayleigh McEnany, Trump's press secretary, and murderous cop Derek Chauvin all committed voter fraud by illegally voting in Florida despite not being residents.
To be fair, Trump's case is a technical violation - he's using Mar El Lago as his residence (he does stay there a lot) but he's not supposed to use it as a residence per a deal he signed with the city. Kayleigh is voting from her parent's address despite living in DC and using a New Jersey driver's license. Chauvin does own property in Florida but can hardly be a resident if he's a full-time cop in Minnesota. Like many things, It's Okay If A Republican Does It.
Space Force (TV series)
I re-upped for Netflix specifically to watch Space Force the new "ripped from the headlines" TV series. I've never actually seen The Office and am frankly not much of a Steve Carrell fan, but I liked Season 1 of this. The show seems to be rooting for America and the values it stands for, which is nice and as it should.
A number of current political and cultural figures get their moments in the spotlight, albeit indirectly. In my view, nobody gets roasted too badly. I felt the last episode was a bit rushed, but overall, well worth it.
