To be fair, The Expendables is pretty much that strange mix of friends/associates getting a working holiday, and a homage to the tropes of the classic 80's action films that made them "great" in the beginning. That knowing nod and wink to what were elements of utter cheese now, but at the time were considered serious. With huge dosing of basic fan service for the people that saw those films in the cinema at the time.

Thinking of going back to the beginning....

Maybe not directly US politics per se, but for that fairly uncomplicated explanation..

Which one of y'all degenerates is responsible for this. Asking so I could shake your hand.

Heh, and seeing the stuff on Riley Williams is an interesting clash of points. I'm seeing the comparisons of "Kalief Browder - Allegedly stole a backpack at 16, spent 3 years at Riker's Island without trial. Riley Williams allegedly stole a laptop from Speaker Pelosi's office and tried selling it to Russians, released to her mother." However, then it's being balanced on the "Ah, but the main allegations come from her ex-bf who she now claims is stalking her and threatened to rape her. Which excuses her from taking part in the capital riots and directing people to Pelosi's office."
