Netflix prompted me to watch The American President before it leaves and I've barely gotten through the opening credits and I'm not crying you're crying
Also it's weird to see a Sorkin white house that moves this (relatively) slow
Annette Benning is mesmerizing in this
She has _delts_ in this
Richard Dreyfuss has a great villain laugh
The vaguely controversial things in this re-election campaign:
- the president is a member of the ACLU
- the president is 'smart' because he went to Stanford
- the president has a girlfriend and a daughter
- the president's girlfriend burned a flag once
can we swap, please
- the president is a member of the ACLU

Also the main conflict not being that the president is dating a lobbyist who is lobbying congress to vote for a bill that he would eventually sign and that seems to be a big, what do you call it, 'conflict of interest'
No no, that's like, fourth or fifth on the problems people have; number one is 'the president is having sex in the white house. with a lady. down the hall from his daughter.' 🤯
