the west wing and its consequences have been disastrous for the human race
Have you heard the new Dave Anthony podcast about the west wing? I've just heard the promo.
It's very good, they start off from the position of: "Well Sorkin isnt a terrible writer but the show isnt that good." and over the course of time they've solidly settled on: "He's a piece of shit scumsucking fuckface and deserves death, also he's bad at writing.". I recommend it for Dave's meltdowns if nothing else.
You can imagine it's one guy doing a bit, while shitting on Sorkin.
Nancy Pelosi and Mitt Romney march into the oval office, in a stern voice she says "Mr. Trump you're fired."
holy fuck but that was surreal and im still struggling to process just how completely subsumed by dementia ridden geriatric ghouls this country is
This is so dumb but I felt I would be doing a disservice by not posting it:
The year is 1952, the Soviet politburo are in a meeting related to planning the 19th congress of the CPSU Stalin and co are sitting in the Kremlin Senate, having discussions and planning what to do. All of a sudden a young Mikhail Gorbachev bursts through the door to the meeting room, drawing the attention of everyone in the room. "Listen up everyone, I have an announcement to make" he bellowed.
He then looks straight at Stalin with a smug look on his face and says: "Mr Stalin, sir, your fired."
Everyone in the room looks at each other with shocked looks on their faces. Stalin, wide eyed, removes his pipe from his mouth.
"Excuse me." said Stalin, "what did you just say?"
"Comrade" said Gorbachev
"Your fired"
Audible gasps emit from everyone in the room. How was a mere rank and file communist party member able to declare the General Secretary "fired"?
Stalin then stands up and says "Comrades, it appears that our weaknesses have been exposed. Never in all of my time as general secretary has anyone, let alone a rank and file CPSU member, been able to sucessful challenge the rule of the communist party. But now given that we are being openly challenged by the rank and file right here and right now, I'm afraid we have no choice but to resign from our positions or face humiliation."
The rest of the politburo groans in resignation. They start standing up to leave.
Stalin looked at Gorbachev and said "You are now the general secretary of the Communist party of the Soviet Union, I hope you know what you are doing."
"Yes comrade I do" said Gorbachev, half seriously.
The next day the Soviet Union is declared over and capitalism and bourgeois democracy are to be implemented in the USSR and eastern block countries. The newly formed Russian Republic joins NATO and allows American corporations to loot the country for resources. Gorbachev becomes the CEO of a pizza food chain and dies a multi millionaire.
The End
And to think I thought that the game of thrones ending went off the rails with a completely unbelievable sequence of events.
AAAAAH GOD SHUT THE FUCK UP REAL LIFE IS NOT A FUCKING PRIMETIME TV SHOW YOU SICK FUCK HUNDRED OF MILLIONS HAVE DIED FOR THIS BULLSHIT
Mitch McConnell walks in, the rest of room solemnly bow their heads. They know what's coming. One-by-one, they take their leave.
"Sit," instructs McConnell. Trump hesitates, but leans back into his chair. The suede is velvelty smooth. He's overcome with emotion, but this time it feels different.
"I can still do this!" Trump petulantly murmurs.
McConnell nods appreciably. He takes a knee, like all good coaches. "Donald. You're a national treasure; you're a bona fide rock star. But you know the stakes. It's the top of the 6th, we're up by several runs, but there's a mercy rule." Mitch tilts his head back, takes a mighty sniffle, and hocks at fat loogie.
"Not on the presidential carpet!"
"It'll come out." He slaps Donald. "It's their turn."
(ah fuck it I got bored)
I mean this definitely is how he'd write it, I just hope he doesn't think it will happen irl. He probably does though lmao
You wouldn't consult a writer for ER for medical advice.
You wouldn't consult a writer for Suits for legal advice.
Why the fuck would you consult this nerd for political advice?
Yeah who are these idiots thinking that Sorkin is writing our reality when it's clearly Armando Iannucci
