Credits include Crocodile Tears & Jesus Christ Superstar. Very much alive. Been doing a lot of stage acting, getting back to my roots. They're making an E True Hollywood Story on me, that should clear up a lot of your questions.

A failed coup is a rehearsal.
But it would seem most of Rhodes's would-be troops are likely working for ICE already.

Best guess, it’s just the transition period.

The Democratic Senators attitude seems to be "give the dictator what he wants right away, or... even better... before he even asks for it, so he won't be forced to hurt the little people”
November 11, 2025 at 2:57 AM
That’s a stupid take

Possibly bc it’s the last week before the change-over & comcast isn’t pushing to sell a product they won’t own in a week?

I trust the Republicans completely. I trust they are always operating in bad faith. About everything.
You know who shouldn't be trusted? Your colleagues in the Senate. Folding a winning hand as soon as the stakes were going to get punitive for Republicans.

That won't happen, they'll sue the DOJ and DOJ will settle with them for the full amount. No discovery necessary.

Not like this wasn't what was coming from the second Trump was elected.

The moral of the story being "give the dictator what he wants right away, or... even better... before he even asks for it, so he won't be forced to hurt the little people next time."

Ron Johnson: "If Trump's getting $230M from DOJ, I want at least 10"

The 99 or Ground Round?

LOL, no. The electorate is nowhere near sophisticated enough to grasp that inside baseball nuance. This will be played as the Democrats caved, and it will be highly de-motivating to a fired up Democratic base who just delivered resounding victories 5 days earlier.

At the precise point that reality becomes apparent to a majority of the electorate, the Democrats choose to fold a winning hand, giving away the one chip they had left at the table.

Sometime after the Republicans end elections, or make them as meaningful as Russian elections, sure.

No one is William Wallace in this little tragedy, but it definitely has the feel of the Scottish nobles in Braveheart getting bought off by Longshanks.

Holy shit, King, fuck off to the Sun.

That’s true. But think about how old you’d have to be to remember that. 45 at youngest. The main lasting memory of Trump is one of 2 things: the fictional character created by NBC in The Apprentice, or him saying Mexicans are rapists & Nazis are “very fine people” & every black person being Low IQ.

Feckless turncoats. Schumer and Durbin need to resign.
November 10, 2025 at 1:52 PM
That’s the real truth of it. I still think Biden had a better shot of eeking out a win for that very reason.

“maybe there’s a method to the madness”, yeah it’s to rob you blind, why would you ever vote for a conman?
