That is rapidly becoming the bastard lovechild of "Downfall" and "Dallas" the Dems are pushing for a rapid Impeachment and a removal of Trump from office before his term expires in eleven days:

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jan/08/trump-impeachment-effort-capitol-coup

So just for the lulz, I ask the panel, in all seriousness, when it comes to casting the show, who would folk get to play the principal characters?

I had thought of Amber Heard as Melania, but beyond that I've had a block. Who could possible play the Don? Anthony Hopkins? And Rudy Guiliani? Pics please. You know you want to.

(I know this should have been for Friday, but we've had ring-main electrical problems at home, and time has been otherwise occupied.)

Anthony Hopkins sounds good. He's the best option for playing the perfect psychopathic villain. Alec Baldwin did a good job, though. As for Giuliani, maybe Andy Serkis being CGI'ed as Gollum again?

Amber Heard is spot on. The mistreated trophy wife. Or you could go with Tori Black if you want to be more kinky. ;)

It must have been passion.

Besides, some genius riffs could emerge from a 9.1/2-fingered guitarists. You never know.

Don't know about actors, but a joke I recently heard goes like this...

The situation in the US has deteriorated so much that the Mexican government is considering finishing that border wall on their own.

I'm thinking Kevin Spacey should play the Don. I know, he'd rather be groping boys, but it's called acting for a reason. Of course Alec Baldwin has been inspired on SNL and would be great if you're planning on a comedy. Brendan Gleeson has I guess been cast as Trump in some TV show, and he certainly can pull off the look.

I'd say Christian Bale as Jared Kushner, he does a smug psychopath like nobody else.

Steve Martin could be a good Mike Pence, as a bonus he could handle the roll whether you're doing a comedy or a drama.

For Giuliani, I'd take a hint from Tolkien/Jackson and not show him. Maybe instead of an eye wrapped in fire I'd go with lips covered in drool. Maybe Bruce Willis' lips, they look kind of like a sphincter when he talks.

Oh, if we do need someone to play Giuliani, I'd go with John Waters and let him keep the moustache. Hell, he should probably direct as well.

I can't think of anyone else's version of the Russian prostitute scene I'd rather be in the public's consciousness.

Talking of lips looking like sphincters, Owen Wilson. He also kind of looks like a younger Trump.

Kinda cruel, but then kinda accurate. He'd have to appear bald for the role, I can't see of any point to showing younger Trump other than to establish that his hairline was receding since his 30's.

Gleeson would be a good Barr...maybe better than Goodman in every category other than looks.

Now I'm thinking Gleeson should just play everyone. Same movie. Every part - Melania, Ben Carson, Kim Jong un...

Damn hollywood liberals will never give us this!

For Giuliani...Robert Duval woulda been perfect 10-20 years ago, probably still a decent choice.

If he was still alive - Philip Seymour Hoffman coulda been a good Don.

And Leslie Nielsen would've been a wonderful better version of Mike Pence.
