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.
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.
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'm just relieved our host didn't treat us to a scene involving Stephen Miller eating. I imagine it looks something like Jeff Goldblum in the later scenes in The Fly [shudder]
And while we're on the subject: That line in The Green Leaves of Summer--"A place for to die"--is hilarious. "Gee, Paw. Ever since that fancy New York interior decorator came and gussied up the farm house, we been livin' in a place for to die!"
"The Green, Green Grift of Home"
There's definitely space for some Musical Theatre on the subject and I think Roy is just the person to write it.
"And so in all things Mar-a-Lago we all have to buck up
And yeah I am the model of a modern major fuck up"
Gilbert & Sullivan would like a word...
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:

I prefer this one https://archive.nytimes.com/cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/10/21/keriks-mug-shot-is-released/
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:

NYC is brilliant for carrying shamelessly on. This little vignette is chef's kiss...!
125 White is NYC Civil Court. Spent bohkoo time there.

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.
Now that Biden's sending AR-15-totin' IRS agents to collect YOUR taxes, every man's home can be the Alamo!
Even if I rent? Vis Avis rentals, mine is an enterprise.
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.
I think I’m in love with you.
Plus no basement, or so I'm told...

"Top O' the world, Ma!"
Great to see the band back together. Now I gotta watch Repo Man this weekend.
"You do a lotta acid, Miller, back in the hippie days?"
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.
Some things just make everything better. (So does sticking googly eyes on things.)
After four years of Trump, Yakkety Sax should be our national anthem.

H in G, you must share a heart with Mabel Pine!

I think a Trump/Giulani scene like the end of Carpenter's "The Thing" would work well. I refuse to write it myself.
Well damn
NOBODY survives Marge O' Largeo!
I'll play you a game of ringolevio for that tub of oleomargarine.
Who you callin' a tub??!! Marge gonna lay a tubba whuppin' on your ass!
PIERRE: I’m afraid, sir, the Proud Boys are not coming.
MILLER: Gott in Himmel!
Cue Hitler/Downfall parody.
Miller is the sort who would NEVER ask "Are we the baddies?"
Miller is actually *proud* of same.
When young Stephen Miller saw Little Shop of Horrors, he thought Orin Scrivello, DDS (Steve Martin) was the hero...
You had me at "...with his fingers."
I'm just relieved our host didn't treat us to a scene involving Stephen Miller eating. I imagine it looks something like Jeff Goldblum in the later scenes in The Fly [shudder]
So.
Much.
Sugar.

Related book about slaves, Mexico, Texas. There's YT videos of the author talking about it too.

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.
Gentlemen! You can't fight in here! This is the War Room!
