The movie 'Training Day' but all the cast would be muppets besides Denzel. Kermit is Ethan Hawke, obviously.
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

If you would like to understand Benny's principles, here's a story. While at IJR on the day of the 2015 Roanoke shooting, Benny cried in the newsroom. Not because of the shooting itself, but because we told him he wasn't allowed to post the video of the murder on the website.
Benny Johnson had perhaps the best 2025 of any streamer on the right, drawing more than 1 billion YouTube views as he hobnobbed with Trump administration power players and GOP elites.
His job is to have no principles. Business is booming. www.mediamatters.org/benny-johnso...

The thing that matters most to Trump is being perceived as a winner. If he's alongside a winner, he will happily destroy months of Republican talking points to be "in" with the winner. It's that simple.

Almost the entire House Democratic Caucus is united against Marie Gleusenkamp Perez for accurately pointing out that one of their members resurrected Chicago machine politics to pull a fast one on his district. Just gross levels of hypocrisy on election integrity. www.axios.com/2025/11/18/m...
