On my better days, I'm a writer. WGAw.
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.
Bearing your cross is a lot easier with wheels.

Mitochondria-based grift is the powerhouse of the sell.
Move over ivermectin, 'cause there's gonna be a new grift in town. And it goes straight to the Means siblings as Kennedy's long-time griftwhisperers. Read all about it here

MAXIMUM LETHALITY starring Mark Dacascos, Cynthia Rothrock, and Eric Roberts (direct to VHS, 1993).
Hegseth: "Maximum lethality -- not tepid legality. Violent effect, not politically correct. We're gonna raise up warriors. Not just defenders."

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."

I believe this is what Jimmy Malone called a blood oath.
Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago:

"If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."
