The last coupla seasons were kinda dreadful but it's still one of the funniest sitcoms of the century so far so I'll always give it an open-hearted try, but it is telling that apparently this new season dropped a week ago and I didn't even notice until right now.
A year into President Donald Trump’s unprecedented deployment of the National Guard in Washington, D.C., some of the troops sent there say they are embarrassed by the mission and increasingly question why they are still there."But Xmastime", you say in the voice of Craig “Ironhead” Heyward from those soap commercials (RIP), "all of your brilliant 'oh gee but the Shake Shack by me has never been safer' wisecracks aside, didn't you make a video last year profusely thanking Trump for saving DC?"
Three current National Guard members told NPR, speaking anonymously because they remain in service, that the deployment has left them frustrated and concerned about the military’s reputation.
“I will say very frankly that the bad taste that this mission left in my mouth, it actually embarrasses me to be involved in any way,” one said.
Another said the experience had made him reluctant to even identify with the Guard. “I don’t want to think about the National Guard. I don’t want to necessarily discuss my affiliation with the National Guard. I don’t want to fulfill my normal National Guard duties just because of the abuses of the National Guard in this D.C. mission,” he said.

Glyn Johns, bless his bug-eyed heart, gently tries to warn John that Allen fucking Klein is history’s greatest monster. John is completely oblivious to Johns’ subtle hints such as “he’s very strange isn’t he?”, “Perhaps he doesn’t speak to you the same way he does other people because of who you are”, "I think he's about to invent the car alarm". Fucking hell.For someone who was an interesting character in The Beatles brilliant Get Back documentary & was the Forrest Gump of the British recording studio industry throughout the history of 60s-80s rock & roll, his book is a bit of a snooze.
If John Lennon had listened to Glyn Johns right now about Allen fucking Klein it could’ve saved not only The Beatles, but his own life. If The Beatles were still together in 1980 would Mark David Chapman have had a chance at killing him? Glyn Johns should go down in history as a goddam hero.
Glyn Johns remains undefeated in the jacket game with this lunatic circus ringleader number.
I remain,
Xmastime
