The film's plot is centered on politics, specifically what members of Congress and lobbyists do to get what they want in Washington, D.C.

Synopsis

A Florida con man named Thomas Jefferson Johnson uses the passing of the longtime Congressman from his district, Jeff Johnson (who died of a heart attack while having sex with his secretary), to get elected to the United States Congress as a freshman Congressman, where the money flows from lobbyists. Omitting his first name, and abbreviating his middle name, he calls himself "Jeff" Johnson. He then manages to get on the ballot by pitching a seniors organization, the Silver Foxes, to nominate him as their candidate for office.

Distinguished Gentleman's Ride

The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride is a global motorcycle fund-raising event to raise awareness of prostate cancer and funding for a cure.

Open to all genders, the ride was founded in 2012 by Mark Hawwa in Sydney, Australia — inspired by a photo of Mad Men’s Don Draper on a classic bike in a fine suit.

The ride provides a loose outline of dress and behavior, the Style Guide, suggesting riders wear dapper clothing, silk vests, tweed suits and behave in an affable manner. Suggested motorcycles for the ride include café racers, bobbers, classics, retro Bikes, flat trackers, scramblers and "quirky, undefinable two-wheeled machines". The ride carries no entry fee, and riders are encouraged to raise sponsorship money.

The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride 2013 was sponsored by Gentleman Jack. In 2014 Triumph Motorcycles startet to support and sponsor the ride. In 2015 the one of the three Motorcycle driven by Chris Pratt in Jurassic world was auctioned off with the profits going to the prostate cancer funds.

Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires (/ˈbweɪnəs ˈɛəriːz/ or /ˈaɪrɪs/,Spanish: [ˈbwenos ˈaiɾes]) is the capital and largest city of Argentina, and the second-largest metropolitan area in South America. It is located on the western shore of the estuary of the Río de la Plata, on the continent's southeastern coast. The Greater Buenos Aires conurbation, which also includes several Buenos Aires Province districts, constitutes the third-largest conurbation in Latin America, with a population of around fifteen and a half million.

The city of Buenos Aires is neither part of Buenos Aires Province nor the Province's capital; rather, it is an autonomous district. In 1880, after decades of political infighting, Buenos Aires was federalized and removed from Buenos Aires Province. The city limits were enlarged to include the towns of Belgrano and Flores; both are now neighborhoods of the city. The 1994 constitutional amendment granted the city autonomy, hence its formal name: Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (Autonomous City of Buenos Aires). Its citizens first elected a chief of government (i.e. mayor) in 1996; before, the mayor was directly appointed by the President of the Republic.
