HH: Right! With his comment about Donald Trump. “We all know what New York values are.”
JM: This is another West Wing ‘still relevant today’ moment. A prescient moment.

And I recommended a pre-emptive Exocet missile strike against his air force, so I think I know how…
Courfeyrac: Combeferre.
Combeferre: They hang up on me every time.
Courfeyrac: That’s almost hard to believe.
I promise that I’ll make y’all proud.
