NON PRINT version:
“How do we tell our children that we are doing everything to keep them out of danger?”
Deport illegals?
Build the wall?
Stop all muslim immigration?
Nationwide concealed carry?
And all sanctuary cities?
Gotta wonder if this was written and “in the can” before Trump’s victory. I noticed the little bits of propaganda in earlier episodes, but it seems the Hollywood writers just can’t help themselves. This latest bit was over the top for me.... I had hoped that this show would be more, but I can see the way the plot is going. Working toward some ultra-right nut job conspiracy. I’m done.
I need to remember to talk to my daughter about that episode. I happened to be in the room, and she (and mom) were ranting at the TV that the purpose of the 2nd Amendment is to be able to overthrow your own government.
BUT - I also wanted to point out that the “reasonable” views that felons and mentally-ill people should be prohibited from having guns is NOT in the Constitution.
If “felons” and mentally ill people are so dangerous that they can’t own guns, why are they out on the street at all!!!???
About a week ago, I had a conversation with my liberal dad (we watched part of an episode of “The Virginian on YouTube) and he told me about back in those days, westerns just dominated everything on prime time. Kind of like these crime/political dramas nowadays and Dad remarked about how he was getting a bit fed up with that and how graphic they had become in recent years.
I don’t know if this is fully relevant to the thread here, but I could not help but think about something like this (then there are my fond memories of Friday nights on CBS with “The Incredible Hulk” and later “The Dukes of Hazzard”) when I read this story.
I think Hollywood really, really thought we would have a president Hillary right now.
They really did.
They did not realize, that Americans are getting sick and tired of every single media outlet operating off one single leftist talking point.
I had the exact same thoughts. This past episode was way over the top.
Can’t watch it anymore.
“Designated Survivor” was one of the few prime time network TV shows that I faithfully watched every week.
The PC tidbits were noticeable here and there, such as the late president talking about the 1% during the State of the Union speech before the massive explosion took him and everyone else out; the pro-muslim statements here and there, etc.
But last Wednesday, when they started in with that “gun-control” crap, I turned off the TV five minutes into the show.
I turned the TV back on a half-hour later, and they were STILL yammering away about guns. Off went the TV.
“Designated Survivor” was one of my must watch TV shows. Now, I will never watch it again. ‘eff ABC, ‘eff Designated Survivor, ‘eff Hollywood liberals, and ‘eff Keifer Sutherland.
I never watch THAT SHOW but it happened to be on just at that moment when I walked into the room. I thought I was seeing 1970s and 1980s anti-gun TV propaganda all over again.
Needless to say I immediately turned the TV to another channel.
“...after an attack on the State of the Union address kills most of his predecessor’s administration and the entirety of Congress. “
I haven’t watched any of this show. Who did the killing?
I switched off that bucket of CRAP after episode 2 when it became obvious it was ALSO a propaganda piece for islam!
Hollywood can go to hell. Oh wait, they’re already there!
never mind.

This is still Hollywood. The gun control comment was walked back. What did you expect? Until One america News starts doing shows we won’t get pure conservatism.
The town hall meeting where the president tries to reassure the crowd that he cares about them gave me the dry heaves. The underlying assumption is that the public is incapable of taking care it itself. It’s no longer about freedom because we’re all just a bunch of helpless boobs. And when, other than in time of war, has the government been proved capable of taking care of anyone besides corrupt politicians and overpaid bureaucrats?
WOW! An already piss-poor left-wing show jumps the shark in it’s first (and only....I hope) season.
Isn't The Kief Canadian?
