this is so silly. people know the deal with bond. the writers should just embrace the metatextual aspects of the franchise
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Important reminder: the tax collector in the parable did not pray:

Of all the things that I could be,
Thank God I’m not a Pharisee

By refusing to work with Democrats, Republicans are willing to DOUBLE the health care costs for millions of people.

It’s shameful.

The “Founding Fathers” didn’t put term limits for POTUS, Congress, and SCOTUS because they naïvely assumed that virtuous*people would naturally give up power when it was time.

Intolerance to criticism or examination of any kind, and refusal to consider that any of the criticism might be true is a hallmark of antisocial personality disorders.

Just sayin’.
