Whenever new revelations about the Trump Administration’s rampant criminality surface and GOP Senators hand-wave them away, I just keep remembering how the GOP House impeached Clinton for lying about a blowjob during the same period the Speaker was cheating on his own wife.
After I pick my jaw up off the floor, I remind myself that a prerequisite for being a Republican at the national level is to either have been born without a sense of shame, or to have had your sense of shame chemically removed. There is no other explanation for how they get up and face the world every day.
Definently a Tangerine Dream soundtrack. Those low buzzing angry bees sounding long sustained chords, like in Soccerer. Or you know, a Goblin soundtrack like Argento used in Susperia. That would work.
What if Lev was a gentle, peaceful soul typecast into a life of violent thuggery because he looks just like a violent thug. That would be sad. No matter how hard he tried in his career writing greeting cards he just couldn't gain any traction. People can be so cruel.
Trump seems drawn to people with bad comb overs. I don't know why they bother. Down deep they must know how stupid they look. Maybe not. You know the hookers don't care about hair loss.
I feel for you, Roy--your scenarios have to make sense, so you need to ascribe intelligence and motive to characters who couldn't find either if they were safety-pinned to one of their nipples. It's been a long, grinding march through Media Mordor since Trump brought his magic touch to the Oval Office ("Doing for America what I did for Atlantic City" was one of the mottos they discarded, I guess.) but when I've pried open an eyelid I can't discern much of any motive on his part other than "Gimme!" and "More Trump on the TV!"
He's an astonishingly simple creature. Terrible storytelling material.
Trump has never been a serious person in the sense of having a coherent policy agenda and strategies for delivering them. He is all all about primitive impulses and the marketing of himself. At this point, it's all about self-preservation. Expect to see less and less of Jarvanka and, aside from trying to destroy the environment, nothing in the way of a legislative initiative (if only because of the stalemate between the houses of Congress). Expect more and more Nuremberg rallies with ever diminishing crowds while the Democratic race becomes more prominent.
I haven't mentioned the impeachment trial because, despite some breathless talk about dissident GOP senators, this is a predictable outcome (but not one that will boost Trump's ratings).
Now yer talkin'! Mr. Disconsolate Sigh fights back! Renew my subscription! (Also love the questions-without-question-marks, a fave gimmick of mine, too.)
TBH, I'm getting, I dunno, stressed or something by these White House scenes. While I marvel at how well Roy repeatedly nails Donnie, they're far too sympathetic towards Mulvaney.
Well, the Republicans and DLC Democrats finally made the US a decadent shithole, a hotbed of nihilism where nothing matters.
Love it.

I am definitely stealing “Nobody whose head is more than 25 percent scar tissue”. That’s just awesome
"You're in overtime already, sir."
From your keyboard to God's ears, Roy.

Nobody ~ NOBODY ~ has nailed the Drumpf White House follies more incisively, succinctly and humourously, than you, Roy. Ta.

If we could only get Anonymous to leave these scripts on the Resolute desk....
