UFC event. Our troops are being deployed not for a natural disaster or emergency, but to stand in as toy soldier collectibles for Trump's birthday.
Applegrove: another attempt at projecting authority. Why doesn't he just read the CBS News every night?

I can see those NG folks getting really pissed about this tour of duty.

Shit use for National Guards. NWS is still expecting high winds in Western States over the next couple days and the West is very dry for this time of year.
Hate to see a Data Center under construction destroyed by a wildfire ...

(42,830 posts)Imagine Trmp fires Bari Weiss on the air, then takes over the show, complains about the teleprompter, goes totally off-script, rambles on and on mindlessly about every random thing he can think of (as usual, use *actual transcripts*), comes after the cameraman, tells the producer he's fired, goes out into the audience, still ranting, even out into the building and out the doors .... eventually, we get the "technical difficulties" screen and finally break to commercial.
The show comes back on, does a skit, maybe another, then in the next one "Trmp" comes barging in again ! The other cast and producers charge after him shouting "The Trmp skit is OVER ! Get out of character !" but he's clearly had the Trmp persona take over his brain. They try to catch him and wrestle him to the ground but he fights dirty (finger in the eye, etc.) and keeps breaking free. Finally there is the sound of a shot and the camera pans to the security guard who says "Oops, I thought that was my Tazer". "Trmp" lies dead on the ground. Everyone looks around, shrugs, steps around the body, and gets back to work -- "Come on, people, we've got a show to do here !" The camera lingers on "Trmp" who mumbles something about "A little help ? Bleeding to death here ..." and a voice calls from off-camera "We can't HEEEEAR you !"
