Resisters, tell your friends, families, enemies, local and national media, at local town halls, at protests, your state legislators, city councils, local law enforcement: to pass on or chant that the joint chiefs of staff backed by seal team six can remove trump and crew!
Worked in politics for many years. Friends and family always asked if it was similar to House of Cards and I would always respond along the lines of "No. Not anything like that. It's Veep. I've been in situations exactly as they portray them and I can't watch it anymore because PTSD. It's Veep."
"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine in charge of purging the civil service...We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor.” - Claude Malhuret https://youtu.be/wmDVrV7QRrU
It's more like thee public has been pushed onto "Survivor" because to thee MAGA thee "Price Is Right" as they play to "Push Your Luck" with a lack ov "Concentration" and amp up thee "Fear Factor" by proving that they are "The Weakest Link".
Veep was the TV show that got the most details right vs my experience at USSS
Silicon Valley was dead on vs my experience at Apple
Comedies get it right far more often than the serious ones
it’s only Tuesday and Trump’s already: leaked war plans in a group chat, pardoned Hunter’s ex-biz partner, tried to kill the dept of ed, and dropped like 5 exec orders. Season 2.0 of the trump reality show is off to a chaotic start 📺
Idk man, I'm a little worried for Goldberg's safety now....like House of Cards style 😬 It got pretty dark when they needed to cover something up and they were worried about loose lips
If Saturday Night Live were to perform a mockery of our current elected government, it would resemble exactly the incompetent Trump, his cabinet, and the Republican dominated Congress and Supreme Court as it now exists.
Years ago, I asked a Hill friend which show was closer to reality. He said he would kill for staffers half a motivated as on Cards (but not evil). To him, Veep was by far the most accurate depiction of DC politics.
I forget what the show was, but I vaguely remember a show in the 00s that centered around a detective who basically lied on his resume and had no idea what he was doing... This is like that but for the government as a whole
I’m hoping for some Three Stooges where they just poke each other in the eye in between turning around with a 2x4 and whacking the guy behind them. At least then they would only be hurting themselves.
I recommend you watch the sitcom Servant of the People on Netflix with subtitles. It's as if Trump took notes of what the bad guys were doing: billionaires involved in politics... politicians avoiding people they don't want to talk to... shaking down Ukraine in return for intl assistance...
Oh… sure its not west wing? Doesnt drumf come of like a Martin sheen with a economics nobel prize to you:)? Leavitt also has the same grace as CJ I think.
https://youtu.be/6DkIbNE25Q0?si=6xTbP9ySZr91pl98. Remember Trump's offensive Gaza video with the dancing Muslim transvestites? Now Republicans are announcing that they don't care that our military is led by idiots. Isn't that a solicitation for an attack on American soil? And with DOGE's cuts, we ard weak and vulnerable.
Selena: "Mike, WHO ELSE was on that chat?"
Mike: "I have everyone here in with their initials! Its a huge time saver."
Amy: "Oh Jesus Christ."
Jonah: "You rang?"
Selena: "Mike, how do we unsend that message?"
Mike: "Look, maybe whoever got that classified intel won't look at it. Or show anyone. Or lose their phone. Or..."
Dan: "Let's spin this. Say there was nothing wrong with the messages."
Selena: "Where we discussed the intricate details of a military strike with an unknown person on a group chat?"
Dan: "Is that so wrong?"
Jonah: "This is why I only text on Snapchat. That shit disappears lickity-split!"
Amy: "Jonah, you can screenshot Snapchat."
Jonah: "Haha, no you can't....can you? Oh fuck!" *runs out of room*
Having spent years in politics I can confirm that Iannucci is the most accurate describer of these things than anyone else, except for the Jeremy Larner, who wrote The Candidate.
Oddly relief-inducing. Every time I’m down about fascism I remember there is always a significant chance they will collapse under the weight of their own incompetence.
That's exactly what Project 2025 wants you to think - the back room machinations are underway, meanwhile America is distracted by the Trump circus... Hegseth is doing his job perfectly...
There are certainly smart people in the wings weaving malevolent plans, but it’s unclear to me whether they are all on board with the same plans or if they are essentially machinating against each other. And then the question is, are the smart ones smarter than the dumb ones are dumb?
You wish... if you think that there isn't a concerted effort coordinated by various administrators such as Susie Wiles and her henchmen, you're in for a rude shock. This is a good summary: https://www.reddit.com/r/changemyview/s/UrtmRL65kC
Dream on baby, there are various players in this - and they keep their faces out of the media - Peter Thiel, Susie Wiles, Russell Vought, Stephen Miller, Peter Navarro, et al... they are all instigating Project 2025 in myriad ways. Enjoy Gilead.

All to benefit the first felon and the war criminal.
The first mafiosi caves with blowback. Call your congressmen, protest, volunteer, donate.
As long as some drink up the lies… they think they can get away with “ alternative facts”.
Any way they look at it, their idiocy is exposed.

Also, didn't Jonah get the hell out of a Nazi rally. The Gang That Couldn't Text Straight loves Nazi rallies.
