His friend Stephen Ives did The Great War for PBS. I don't see Burns upstaging him with a 6 part epic.

I don't think he'd do this for the same reason I don't think he'll do WWI: he'd be stepping on his buddy Stephen Ives's toes. Only this time it would be even more blatant, as he produced The West where Ives talked about it.

I hate the response you are point out. We don't need to do anything to impede her going after Trump, but MTG is emphatically NOT ALLOWED in the tent. Not now, not ever. I don't know why this is so hard for people (well I do, it is because the consultant class wants yo move the party right).
