I cannot listen to one more GOP'er screaming, waving their arms, clutching their chests and twisting themselves into pretzels to defend the indefensible.
I am switching on Netflix and will watch the Walking Dead or Z Nation, because that is what the GOP has become.
Perhaps I will just pull out my old copy of The Stand by Stephen King. If you haven't read it, you should. Good vs Evil. The GOP is Trashcan Man willing to die for Trask. "My Life for you". If you haven't read the book or watched the movie you should.
Fact is, Good prevails and the evil is destroyed.

(46,804 posts)Its hard to believe anyone takes him seriously. Its bad enough that he is just putting on a performance, but he is really bad at it. I wonder if he yells like that at home. Whenever he is on, I can't hit the mute or fast-forward button fast enough. Its like fingernails on a chalkboard.

(15,246 posts)MSNBC said the normal procedure is that just the chairman and ranking member make statements, but Nadler gave everyone a chance to say something, thus the 3 hour marathon of speechifying.

(10,499 posts)So I haven't watched any of it, other than a few opening comments by Doug Collins. After that I changed the channel every time a Republican came on.

Republcans cans constantly shout as if they are having an "Ah hah"! Moment... And they aren't saying shit.

(83,342 posts)It was outstanding. Fact is all his books are. They are all good versus evil, yet this one stands out, no pun intended as one of his best on Good vs Evil.
Fact is, it says a lot about today. Trump is Flagg. His minions are the GOP. Trashcan his supporters ready to detonate the world for him.
Hm. Fact and Fiction. Hard to separate it these days.

(41,915 posts)The first one had many flaws but I did like Matt Frewer as Trashcan Man. Whoopie Goldberg is playing Mother Abigail. I can see it.

(83,342 posts)When is it going to be released? I would love to see that one.
The movies are never ever as good as the books. Best one was the Green Mile.
nolabear
(41,915 posts)Yeah, few of his books have translated well. I like The Shining, The Green Mile, Misery, The Shawshank Redemption, Carrie...thats about it.

(83,342 posts)Oh, and I agree with all the ones you listed.
