Could Honest Abe please make a guest appearance on CBS's Ghosts?

Honest Abe could talk about all the reasons he's disappointed in the Party he helped start. And for attempting
to overthrow the Government he gave his life for, now encourages everyone to vote Democrat because Rs
will try it again.

For anyone not familiar...Ghosts is on Thursday evening on CBS

Are there any weekly TV shows (other than late night comedians) who are addressing the insurrection issue
or it's aftermath?

1. Slightly off topic but the British version of Ghosts is infinitely better and funnier.

It's on HBO, pretty sure. Get a trial at least. Three seasons thus far.

it's nice to see some silliness and enjoy problems that can be solved in half an hour these days.

Sitcoms are rarely topical on recent political stories.

You are correct, shame at this point in America's History they don't become more involved in trying
to save Democracy from the Fascists.

You can’t just add that storyline to basic characters and make it work.

Perhaps you could prevail on the networks to bring “HEIL HONEY I’M HOME” over from the UK (Yes, this was a real TV show).
