Season 7: lawfare, election interference and market manipulation - spoilers!


That's why it sucks.
They're celebrating everything people have come to hate about DC and its cronies. We're supposed to be heralding Chuck and his cohorts as saviors of democracy yet they never made a convincing case for the dangers of Prince's presidency. But isn't it Chuck who at the behest of the President (remember the call he gave Chuck?) engaged in election interference? A DC outsider like Prince who never was part of the DC swamp could never turn into a dictator without the backup of the DC apparatus. The writers were desperate to find an analogy to Trump and failed miserably. Prince may have had his flaws but so does everyone. But he was all in all a good guy and no worse than any President.
And finally, Axe is back in business. And we're supposed to be rejoicing why? Because of his huge ego, his ruthlessness and his bad taste in band t-shirts?
