So in the ongoing Political Soap Opera

[johnny9fingers]

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:

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.)

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 love this idea.

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

ROFLMAO.

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

[mikeyxw]

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!
