Dulé Hill campaigning?
Apparently he’s coming to Dayton, Ohio of all places to campaign for the governor and senate candidates. Hopefully he’s signing autographs too lol
Update: for those who want details, here’s the sign-up link

I don't think I'll ever understand the 'Indians in the Lobby' conversation at the Italian embassy.
The one between Josh and Alberto, where Alberto is offering up the 'girl in the restaurant example'.
Josh saying 'it's problematic when other people make my argument for me' when, in fact, Alberto appears to be making the opposite argument of Josh.
Or "'The kid wasn't throwing food.' 'Is there a crime that girl could commit that would have justified what the father did?'"
On that remark, I'm always like "Well, if the little girl shot her teacher!"...it's not a perfect analogy, but Alberto's example feels pretty far disconnected from the reality of the circumstances.
I'm not defending the death penalty for kids - I'm opposed to it. I just think the writing here is bad.

Bolsonaro flees to US
Makes me think about that episode where General Bazan seeks asylum in the US and makes some outrageous demands:
-$10 million USD
-a private plane
-immunity from war crimes
-asylum for himself and 60 members of his family
I remember when I saw the scene for the first time I thought, are you crazy!

Garage Meeting?
I’ve watched the series twice through and currently on a third.
I may have missed some earlier reference but what’s the deal with the woman from New York that Leo meets in a garage (with “foggy bottom secrecy”) and she provides polling data. Who is she? I get why they can’t meet in the WH but why so deep throat like??

Take Out the Trash Day What if they switched Presidents on the West Wing?
Here me out...in 2002/03, what if they switch out Bartlet for Ritchie. The MS scandal was too much for the American public and Bartlet loses a 2000-esque electoral college nail biter.
We only saw a glimpse of Ritchie but he was modeled on the very charismatic George W Bush. We could have seen a "dream" Republican administration the same way we saw the ideal democratic administration with Bartlet.
Maybe, like Bush and Clinton, Ritchie and Bartlet even become friends.
