Let them stay proudly asleep, eyes closed, guard down.

It’s easy to detect when a pickup has been stolen - if the throttle doesn’t go wide open at least once in every five minute period, the truck is being driven suspiciously discreetly.

“For sale - GMC Canyon. Ran when parked, but a trailer is advisable. Buyer *must* collect. Test drive at your own risk. No lowballers, I know what I have and *everyone* knows where it is.”

You have to realise that, although each plate was $100k, The Donald has expenses to cover - admin fees, payment processing, currency hedging reserves, taxes, bribes, etc. - which means that Rudy only got about 1% of the take :-)

I’m amazed the marriage outlasted the lawsuit.

Well, with no content being made, presumably the studio heads themselves aren’t doing their jobs, so maybe *they* should take a pay cut too?

…unlike America’s brand-spanking-new B-52 fleet…

It’s the Stasi dream - nominally a small government, but trying to build an unaccountable civilian network of informants and busybodies to keep the population in fear.

I’m hearing from other sources that the new law goes as far as constraining the Governor to pick from a shortlist cooked up by the state Republican leadership. The list will probably include one ultra-hard-right headbanger who no-one in their right minds would actually elect, and a bunch of even worse characters as…

My conspiracy theory: the reason he’s keeping his girlfriend in the shadows is that she isn’t Black, which he knows will trigger a lot of potential donors’ secret concerns about interracial couples. I could be wrong, and I hope I am.

The obvious mistake was not putting a ‘Thin Blue Line’ on one ass cheek and a Punisher sticker on the other.

“I think your client misunderstood the name. One of the admin staff in our credit division is named Jeanette Finale, and it was named in her honour. Case dismissed!”

Isn’t there a minor problem that it’d be easier to repeal the law of gravity than to get the three lead actresses in a room together?

 Maybe, after the Gucci film, they see him as the go-to guy for portraying rich Italians for American audiences.

The lobotomy jokes write themselves.

Are there any swing voters left? Or is the only goal Elon’s backers have is to poison the discourse so much that Democrat voters choose not to vote?

I wonder if they mean that they finished the old-fashioned ‘actors standing in front of cameras’ part of the production, but took a look at the bill to do all of the CGI and other post-production and said ‘screw it’.

It might be relevant that, although this was the first book filmed, it wasn’t the first written, so Fleming had had some time to nail the tone.

I guess it’s one way to audition for gigs at Republican PAC Conferences.

Republican compassion is reserved for people with a net income of over $1M/year.
