Trump promised a health care plan TEN YEARS AGO and has never come up with one. Unless you consider it a "health care plan" when you cut health care and use the savings to give rich people a tax cut.

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway
I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced —and not in a good way.
What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money.
Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight.
To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.

Miller seems like an over-the-top SNL character, or an officious bit someone did in an improve class. He's so weirdly unnatural in all his mannerisms I don't even think that a like-version of him would have worked on VEEP.

Not snark: I don't know that I remember any high ranking political appointee or elected pol who had the face-punch-ability or anti-charisma that Miller does. And I honestly don't think that's a partisan thing on my part; I bet people he works with can't stand him.

OK. It's going to be coming out soon because of the relentless investigations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, so I might as well admit it before the news breaks:

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

I think the Department of Justice just heard a public meeting about Antifa where literally everyone slated to give information know nothing about Antifa. Like, not even what it is.

"Before we were Antifa we were the Originals, but we had to change our name because someone was already using that name. It was the Regulars, then they changed their name back to The Regulars and we thought, well, we could go back to The Originals but what's the point?"

Also, and this is just an aside that's apropos of nothing, but I'd give at least 50-50 odds that Mike Johnson doesn't like music of any kind and is confused as to other people do.

Moreover, the Speaker of the House had firm views that Bob Bunny is a terrible pick to sing despite his claim that he knows nothing about Bad Bunny's music and has never heard it.

Patrick Chovanec @prchovanec.bsky.social · 1d

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.
