I always find it disheartening when I learn crap like this about conservatives in positions of power. Our quality of life is being held back by these aholes?

I found that by accident! When I got there, I thought “wait, I know this place…” then remembered the film was made in Georgetown. (I was new to the area, was running some errand in Georgetown, then walked the Key Bridge to catch the Metro out of Rosslyn)
