On my better days, I'm a writer. WGAw.

Every time Bessent tries to pretend he's just a normal guy, he comes across even more like Mr. Burns. It's like that Eddie Izzard bit about the royal family...
"You're a plumber, what on earth is that?"

KARL: He was an ICU use who worked for the VA and there's no evidence he brandished the gun whatsoever
BESSENT: But he brought a gun
KARL: I mean, we do have a Second Amendment
BESSENT: I've been to a protest -- guess what? I didn't bring a gun. I brought a billboard

Found the "current revisions by Stephen Miller" part of the speech.
Trump: "No nation is in any position to be able to secure Greenland other than the US. We're a great power. Much greater than people even understand. I think they found that out 2 weeks ago in Venezuela. We saw this in World War 2 when Denmark fell to Germany after just 6 hours of fighting."

And don't you dare wear sweatpants while driving your Clark Griswold shitbox. We travel with class in these United States.
Sean Duffy on slashing fuel economy standards: "This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers."

Orbán looks like he should be a villain in the TAKEN franchise. But not the main villain. He's like the sleazy underworld contact that Neeson meets early in Act II and shoots in the knee to get intel about the main villain's Swiss bank transfers.

What are the odds he thinks it's *literally* invisible, like a Klingon warship? Pretty good, I'd say.
Trump: "We were a little bit threatened by Russia recently, and I sent a submarine, nuclear submarine. The most lethal weapon ever made. Number one, you can't detect it."

"I would rather watch well-developed characters, like what you see in foreign films."
Ah yes. Foreign films. So well known for their lack of sex.

A TikTok from this film industry account was posted about how an industry survey of Gen Z media consumers found that a near supermajority of young people thought television and cinema had too much sexual content. These were the comments.

Christian persecution in America is best defined by this image: No actual struggle, wearing clothes that cost more than my entire wardrobe, polished cross instead of rugged, and surrounded by crowds of fellow hypocrites cheering on bigotry who believe they're the victims.

When he doesn't win the Nobel, they're gonna make up an award and call it the American Peace Medal or some shit and give it to him so the toddler can have his Happy Meal toy and he's gonna ramble on about how it's more prestigious than the Nobel quite frankly and that Obama doesn't have one.
Witkoff: "There's only one thing I wish for: that that Nobel committee finally gets its act together and realizes that you are the single finest candidate since that Nobel award was ever talked about."
