There's definitely space for some Musical Theatre on the subject and I think Roy is just the person to write it.

I think an orange jump suit would complement Trump's orange skin just perfectly!

So what you're telling us is that basically you're writing screenplays for Ben Shapiro Enterprises?

That reminds me of a line in Leon Haywood's "I'm Wanna Do Something Freaky to You":

Your love is like a mountain

I'd love to slide down into your canyons

Brilliant. Just brilliant.

Speaking of the vile Kerik, I love this photo, always have, still:

Feh. I love Rudy’s showing of love for his fellow POS.

Will say that Keri’s takes a good, what one call professional mug shot.

Since we're sharing souvenirs of the Kerik era, my favorite, the renaming of The Tombs:

125 White Street isn’t the Tombs. The Tombs is behind the criminal court at 100 Centre. The photo looks like the secure entrance used, IIRC, for NYC criminal matters.

Y’all can’t make me love the photo of Rudy and his Bernie no matter how much you try.

It's the address of the Manhattan Detention Complex, which includes the Manhattan House of Detention, formerly the Tombs. They renamed the whole schmear, then renamed it again after Kerik was busted.

NYC is brilliant for carrying shamelessly on. This little vignette is chef's kiss...!

125 White is NYC Civil Court. Spent bohkoo time there.

If you go up the block from the Court entrance on Centre St. to the intersection of White and Centre and look east, you'll see the entrance and signs saying "Manhattan Detention Complex, 125 White Street" It's the very big building devoid of windows. You can Google Street View it.

One of the comments from that video -

“ I cry every time I watch this movie, it's such an amazing portrayal of the men behind the freedom of Texas.”

I’m exhausted. Yet again.

Ha ha I missed that one. No surer way to piss off a Texican than to tell them they broke a contract with Mexico because they didn't want to pay taxes on their slave farms.

When I was stationed in San Antonio we'd sometimes go to the Alamo and tell anyone who would listen that the only reason they were massacred there was because they didn't realize there was no back door. Ah well, what can I tell you it was 18 year old humor.

Kudos to Roy for highlighting the similarity of the Alamo myth and the Last Days of Mar-a-Lago. Of course, Trump probably thinks he’s in “The Alamo” and “White Heat,” while the rest of us see him and his buddies as the first squad in “Deadpool 2.”

Brilliant, as always, although I think the correct musical accompaniment to Trump and his henchmen attempting escape by golf cart really should be Yakkety Sax.

And Boots Randolph would be renowned among schoolchildren great and small. Who could recall with a dry eye the moment Boots, standing one foot on the rail, watched from the bar while the ship of state sank slowly in the deep southeast, (Trump at the helm but pointing at Rudy for steering it wrong, exclaiming "No $20k for you!"), and filled with inspiration, pulling out his trusty sax, began to wail...

I think a Trump/Giulani scene like the end of Carpenter's "The Thing" would work well. I refuse to write it myself.

Just hilarious. I always hear this line from Strangelove whenever I imagine Miller speaking to Trump:

"It would not be difficult, mein Fuhrer. Nuclear reactors could... I'm sorry. Mr. President."

I bet he makes that "mistake" all the time.
