As I am watching the House Impeachment Hearings, I keep having flashes of a TV show that was intended to be a hiatus filler between seasons.

That show was a very deliberate, irreverent jab at US politics as a whole. Completely black humor–“black” meaning macabre, not racial.

With the current dance at the Impeachment Hearings, I can’t help but wonder who has the branch from the DC cherry trees which is infested with the alien invaders?:eek:

I enjoyed that show but it seemed to peter out by the end. Before that happened it was really really entertaining.
