I'm now pitching a procedural called "Rushmore," in which the four presidents on Mt. Rushmore return from the dead to run the country — Washington = Pres, Lincoln = VP, Jefferson = SecofState, Teddy = Defense — and are also zombies.

Trump: My pollsters said, 'sir, if George Washington and Abraham Lincoln came back from the dead and they aligned and they went for the president, vice president as a combination, you'd be beating them by 25 points.'

Have you ever experienced of disliking someone so much for legitimate reasons but also feeling like you could or could have been nicer to them? It doesn’t feel good.

And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social You are pathetic. Praising Adams while repeatedly delaying endorsing the candidate NYer’s chose as the Democratic Nominee for mayor. You and the other establishment Dems will have the legacy of allowing fascism to run rampant in the US.
