Dick Cheney Signed This Thing. That’s Scary Enough.

You couldn't get all 10 living Secretaries of Defense together to sign off on a breakfast order. But they've published an op-ed that is just as scary for what it doesn't say.

Pierce admits, the op-ed signed by 10 former Secretaries of State unnerved him quite a bit, more for what it doesn't say than for what it says, and what it says is bad enough. You couldn't get these guys together to sign off on a breakfast order, let alone an op-ed in which they tell the incumbent president* to get stuffed. Unless, of course, one or several of them know something that scares the daylights out of them. And if you start putting the context together—the decapitation of the civilian leadership at the Pentagon in favor of unqualified cronies, the current blustering centered on Iran, the simple fact that Trump is capable of anything—it's easy to concoct scenarios that are halfway between Seven Days In May and Duck Soup. This group did not get together in order to defend some vague love for the constitutional order. Something made them go cold down to their toes.

The coronavirus pandemic halted the release and production of most films throughout 2020, delaying filming and release dates. Streaming services like Amazon and Hulu and Netflix provided some entertainment with an impressive backlog of titles that were never intended as theatrical releases. However, there was still something of that big-budget Hollywood movie magic missing. Many new blockbusters ranging from superhero, to thriller and fantasy, were pushed from 2020 to next year (or later) due to the pandemic. But, as we hold out for a (hopeful!) vaccine as the coronavirus continues to surge in America, we can look ahead to 2021 as the year in entertainment that could be. Right now, the 2021 movie release schedule, looks to bring a very welcome surge of big titles back to the theaters. With releases from Wes Anderson, Steven Spielberg, Marvel, and James Bond—2021 could be a massive year in movies. Let's just keep our masks on, and our fingers crossed that we can get back to the theaters. Read More           Once Again: It's Time to Impeach the President in the Lame Duck. He Will Never Stop This.   On November 19, 2020, we suggested the president may need to be impeached in the lame-duck period on the basis that he will never stop trying to steal the election and, even if he fails, that he will do untold damage to the country leading up to January 20. In the time since, he has reportedly discussed—in the Oval Office—instituting martial law in order to force a Mulligan Election. Even before the SecDefs popped up, the Secretary of the Army felt compelled to issue a statement declaring the U.S. military won't be doing Coup Things. The president should be impeached and removed from office as soon as possible. Then state and federal authorities should gather evidence around what he has done and, if the evidence supports it, prosecute him for any crimes committed to the fullest extent of the law. There must be consequences, writes Politics Editor Jack Holmes.
