We just re-watched Home Alone 2 and I was struck by how much the then-Trump-owned Plaza lobby looks like the current White House.

#DOGE
Doge: So the Department Of Government Efficiency shut down eight months early. Doge: Now DOGE can become what it was always going to be: An obscure reference in a history textbook, a brief era of utter destruction forgotten, like the Brooks Brothers Riot or the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association Riot, only somehow official. Doge: And just like other terrible events with bad long-range consequences, no one will be held responsible. That's America, baby!

George, Annie, and Esme are playing a board game. George, speaking to Esme: You know, I remember when you were born. We brought you home and even then you had your own stubborn ideas. George: But even so you were such a sweet kid, with your adorable gap-toothed smile -- George: So happy and fun, always lighting up every room. What happened to that kid? Esme: She grew up to catch you stalling in the hope she'll forget you changed the rules. George: Did not! Meanwhile Annie is writing on a board. Annie: I'm gonna go ahead and put myself down as the winner here --

#UCMJ
Orange Meanie: I never said Democratic lawmakers should be executed. Toad: Responding to a video made by Democrats you "truthed" "SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!" Orange Meanie: What they did was really bad, and Dangerous to our Country. Toad: Saying that enlisted persons should disobey illegal orders is explicitly following the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Orange Meanie: Playing by the rules is punishable by death! Toad: Never tell people their rights and responsibilities, got it.

#Epstein
Fisher: What if the Republicans are playing 76-dimensional chess with the Epstein files? Raccoon: I don't think anyone needs to work that hard to discombobulate the Democrats. Fisher: What if they know there's nothing in them but innuendo, creepiness, and bad spelling, and the whole shutdown was a ruse to make it seem like they were hiding something really damning.... Raccoon: That's a lot of unnecessary work to get Dems to put all their eggs in a basket without a bottom. Fisher: Now the Democrats will look really stupid, betting so heavily on the Epstein files! Raccoon: If you really want to make Dems look stupid, you only need to wait for them to do it themselves.

#Epstein
Cat: I want you to realize the dog that hasn't barked is Trump. Dog: Now Trump says he wants the Republicans to vote to release the Epstein Files...because they were going to do that regardless. Poster: H.R.4405 - Epstein Files Transparency Act Cat: Of course Trump knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop. Dog: Are these emails hearsay? Does anyone know? Is there still enough rule of law in the U.S. for it to matter? Poster: "An inmate who trains puppies to become service dogs was instructed to provide one to Maxwell for a time so she could play with the puppy, even though neither inmates nor staff are ordinarily allowed to pet the service dogs in training." Cat: If Trump says he hasn't been on the plane or to the house, then that gives Epstein valuable P.R. and political currency. Dog: Enigmas never age but blackmailers spoil quickly. Poster: "The Democrats were Epstein's friends, all of them, and it's a hoax." -- Trump

Esme: You're changing it just because it would help me win! George: Yeah, I've spent your whole life letting you win to improve your confidence. Until now. Esme: All the times we've played -- George: It's always been -- Annie: Guys! Guys! Please, can we stop? Annie: Please stop fighting. It's just a game. Let's just move on to the part where I win.

#DemocratsCaved
We can see the entrance to a dark cave. Outside there's a sign reading "THE DEMOCRATS ARE IN". The Democrats: Hey there, your elected Democrats here. We're just going to be staying in our cave. The Democrats: We know that the shutdown is life and death for some of you. Maybe it's about your access to necessary medicine or maybe you can't afford enough food. Maybe you can't get the money to rebuild after the flood and maybe you won't get to see your family this Thanksgiving. The Democrats: The important thing is, our seats are safe.

#Shutdown
Rabbit: Well, Dems caved on the shutdown. Rabbit: But wait, what if it's actually good strategy? Rabbit: I'll bite. Explain. Rabbit: The House of Representatives has been out of office for weeks. If they keep it shut now the G.O.P. must accept blame for the shutdown. But if they open it, boom, the votes are there to release the Epstein Files. Rabbit: Are the Epstein Files the new Jack Smith, who was the new Robert Mueller, who was the new Merrick Garland? Rabbit: It's gonna work this time, I'm sure of it!

What a revolting development!
www.sunday2am.com/sunday-2am.6...
George comes into the kitchen carrying a warty gooseneck squash. Esme looks up from her cereal bowl. George: Check it out - this is the only thing to escape the depredations of the squirrels. George: What should we do with it? Think we can eat it? Esme: Ew no Esme: If even the squirrels don't want it, I think you should chuck it. The warty gooseneck squash sits atop the trash in the garbage can. Squash: Well, this is undignified.

#SNAP
The Orange Meanie is showing off his Infinity Gauntlet to Toad. Orange Meanie: The court says I have to do the whole SNAP so here it is, I'm gonna do the whole snap. Toad: Thanos had some good ideas. Orange Meanie: The Infinity Stones aren't real, but the gold is. If you don't use 24-karat gold it doesn't look good. Toad: The hungry children will be relieved to hear that. Orange Meanie: Foreign Leaders, and everyone else, 'freak out' when they see the quality and beauty. Toad: I'm sure that's why they're freaking out.

I'd like to thank modern technology for bringing back skips in music. In the old days a skip was mechanical, dust, hair, scratches, or something. Now it's a message notification, alert, wifi wobble, network lag, or your device deciding it has something better to do for a moment.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Tanuki: Republicans and their pet causes really got beat in voting yesterday! Fox: How's it feel to win all the unimportant things? Tanuki: It wasn't just that the Dems won. They wrecked the G.O.P. like Gozilla versus Bambi. Fox: It's just the typical pendulum swinging. Tanuki: It makes me wonder if the 2024 election really was rigged.... Fox: Hey, that's our thing.

Bulldog: I was never trained to be a warrior. I was trained to be a soldier. Bulldog: Too many people don't know the difference. Bulldog: Soldiers are citizens who train and work as professionals. Warriors are people who enjoy fighting and the culture of war. Bulldog: Historically in wars between soldiers and warriors, it goes badly for warriors. Bulldog: So Hegseth and the Republicans want us to be weaker. Bulldog: This is what happens when you elect small, soft men.

Two jack-o-lanterns and a warty gooseneck squash are on a stoop. Jack-O-Lantern: Here comes an evil spirit! A squirrel peeks into the panel. Jack-O-Lantern: Now you'll see how vicious and horrible it is when it sinks its fangs into your warty flesh! The squirrel is going to town eating the first jack-o-lantern. Jack-O-Lantern: AIEE! My beautiful face! The squirrel is leaving. Jack-O-Lantern: This is unfair. Warty squash: He seems nice.
