New from Amazon, we have John Sena and Idris Elba headlining an
action-comedy. Sena plays new American President Will Derringer while
Elba is the Prime Minister of the UK. President Derringer is a
Schwartzenegger-style movie star renowned for his action movies and Elba
doesn't much like him but circumstances - the shooting down of Air Force
One over Belarus - force them to work together and to try to save NATO.
There's also a romantic subplot between the Prime Minister and a woman
from his past.

I won't spoil any more of the plot. Suffice it to say that there's lot
of shootin' and killin' to keep us engaged and a fair number of puns.
It's not going to win any awards for realism but I enjoyed myself and I
think you will too.

IMDB gives it 6.5 but I think it deserves higher.

Ob Veeus just wrote to Robin and me recommending it. I’ve said elsewhere, I
fell asleep during a different show and woke up in the middle of heads of
state as the plane crashed, and they met the cute girl in the jungle and
had no idea what the hell was going on, but added it to my watchlist!

It will make more sense if you watch it from the beginning. ;-)

Today I’m dealing with the fact that the DMV destroyed the records of the

we’re citizens again we won’t be allowed to vote anymore.

Got a link to a news report on that?

Thank you.  I read both and I can smell the fishyness of it hundreds of
miles away.  The problem was "discovered" nine months ago but they are
only NOW telling people about it?  And it is something like one system
broke, breaking another system and possibly a third system?  If that is
even close to the reality this is FUBAR'd to the nth power.

 And nobody has backups of any of their files apparently. And why is the DMV
safeguarding my citizenship status in the first place? And how come I’ll
still be allowed to vote in federal elections just not local? And without
proof of citizenship, can I even flee to Canadia?
 

Backups: Well, they might have but they waited over six months before even telling anyone so the backups may have been overwritten.  Assuming, of course, that they didn't penny pinch into oblivion a records backup system....
DMV: Because most states made the RealID verification part of the DMV's responsibility.  That's where I had to go to get mine in California.
Fed Elections: Because this whole pile of fecal matter is intended to prevent "illegals" from voting.  If half the state's legal voters get disenfranchised to do that, its just acceptable (intended) collateral damage.
Canada: What makes you think Canada wants you and would let you in?
Personally at this point with all the "election fraud" male bovine digestive end product coming out of Arizona (for censored sake, they are STILL trying to overturn the 2020 election results there!) I'm in favor of returning Arizona to Mexico.  The Mexicans would almost certainly run a cleaner election.
