Well, I did not catch the reference at all. I know Yakov Smirnov was popular in the '80s, and he was in a movie (_Gorky Park_?) but I have no recollection of the line, ‘You have to think in Russian.’ So I haven’t a clue/

I was working at Ridley Mission Control Center at Edwards AFB when that was filmed. As I came out of a more-secure area, I saw Clint Eastwood & Co. walking through the area just inside the lobby. I only watched the movie once. I thought it was silly.

I saw it when it came out, and it is rather silly. Saw it again years later, and when Clint’s Russian contact came on, I said “hey, it’s Sir Humphrey!”

Trump gets booed when he appears on the jumbotron during a visit to the FIFA World Cup Finals, in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

I assume it’s in response to the added scrutiny and calls to release the Epstein files.

(I feel like someone should redo the X-Files intro but with various Republicans, and the tagline could say, “THE TRUTH IS ON BONDI’S DESK”.)
