Archie Bunker for President | minus the good parts | Updated

[Updated: This was one of my takes on the candidate in September, 2016. In the two years since, Individual-1 has done nothing two days in a row to change my mind. It’s only gotten worse.

We know how we got in this mess. The founders showed us how to get out of it. 

Will we?

It turns out that admitting wrong, being truly sorry, and taking responsibility are no easier for the American people than they are for Individual-1.

Congressional Republicans' Christmas Tiff

The Obamas

Obama Message: "We Celebrate the Birth of Jesus this Christmas"

Republicans vow to celebrate Kwanzaa

(Washington, DC)

In a sharp rebuke to President Barack Obama, Republicans from both Houses of Congress pledged in a statement to: "uphold the quiet dignity and communal values of Kwanzaa.

"We will redouble our efforts to avoid the implicit endorsement of religion for which this administration has become famous in eight long years of war against the Constitution," the statement read.

Asked for his reaction, Vice President Joe Biden, a self-described Catholic who may have become radicalized during his Scranton, Pennsylvania childhood, said, "Republicans in Congress couldn't tell you how many A's there are in Kwanzaa — go ahead, ask Paul Ryan to spell it for you — buncha knuckleheads...."

"Not so fast," say Republicans | there are rules

McConnell

OBAMA MOVES TO WITHDRAW MERRICK GARLAND SUPREME COURT NOMINATION

"NOT SO FAST" SAY REPUBLICAN SENATE LEADERS

(Washington, D.C)

In an unexpected move, President Barack Obama moved to withdraw his nomination to the Supreme Court of Judge Merrick Garland. The move apparently took Republican Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell, by surprise. McConnell issued a tersely worded statement, promising to get to the bottom of whether a president in the last year of his term has the authority to withdraw the nomination of a, "highly qualified jurist who is universally applauded for the evenness of his rulings and the steadiness of his judicial temperament." Reached for comment, a White House spokesman said, "While Senator McConnell is entitled to his opinion, the President does not believe he is entitled interrupt the orderly proceedings of two of our three branches of government." Vice President Joe Biden, who serves as President of the Senate by virtue of his office, said, "I think Mitch should push, or pull, or go back to his day job in Kentucky."

No Joke | First Official Trailer

Here's the trailer for the project I'm working on in which, it seems, a rabbi, an imam and a preacher walk into each other's lives and, in spite of their differences — which are numerous and profound — they still just really like each other. Enjoy ... I'll say a few more words after the preview.



If you'd like to see the movie, read the book, or get tickets for the tour, head on over to the No Joke Project ... or drop by the No Joke Facebook page ... or own a little piece of the No Joke dream at GoFundMe.
