Themed List
Sadly, many holdovers from prior year
Theme: Evil and its Minions (IMHO)
•Donald Trump - orange hued evil incarnate
•Marjorie Taylor Green - can the blue states divorce her?
•Laura Ingraham – spreader of hate speech
•Rudy Giuliani - conspiracy theorist, crooked fixer for Trump, batshit insane
•Tucker Carlson – no end to his evilness
•Brett Kavanaugh - “Sometimes I had too many beers. I liked beer. I still like beer.”
•Ted Cruz – please go back to Cancun – and stay there
•Greg Abbott –per Daily Kos: terrible, horrible, no good, very bad man
•Mitch McConnell - From GQ: “This man has no morals, nor any respect for the rule of law, nor any respect for those who would defy him. For his own personal gain, he permitted Russia to continue manipulating the November election so that his party’s candidate could win—giving us a quivering mound of chili drippings for president.”
•Ron DeSantis – ultimate Florida Man
•Ivanka Kushner - "She [was] not passively complicit in the Trump administration’s policies; she [was] an active architect "
•Kim Jong-un - Supreme Leader of North Korea, and just as deranged as our former Dear Leader
•Josh Duggar
Alternates:
•Vladimir Putin - President of Russia, top puppeteer
•Dick Cheney - throwback to when evil was just heartless, and didn’t include aiding and abetting a pandemic

@Dancer_Flight, thanks for making this themed entry possible!
Recycling lat yerar’s list that scored nothing:
A List About Nothing.
This is a list of people who appeared as themselves (or at least Seinfeldian versions of themselves) on the show about nothing.
Pat Cooper – The great comedian offered to get Jerry into the Friars’ Club.
Jon Voight – The Academy Award-winning actor. Not to be confused with John Voight the periodontist.
Rudy Giuliani – Before he became a Trumpian troll, Giuliani beat Dinkins for the 1993 NYC Mayoral race because he ate right and kept his cholesterol in check.
Keith Hernandez – The original Seinfeld Celebrity pop-in in Season 3, his narcissistic navel-gazing typical of everyone in the Seinfeld universe led to the title of his real-life memoir, “I’m Keith Hernandez”.
Bette Midler – In Seinfeldvania, the Divine Miss M plays catcher for the “Rachelle, Rachelle” softball team and trash talks George. In fact, I could see her doing that in the Real World, too.
George Wendt – While in LA, George Costanza wondered aloud to George Wendt whether “Cheers!” might be a better show if it did not take place in a bar.
Raquel Welch – In the Seinfeld universe, Raquel Welch gets involved in a cat fight! Rowrr!
Keith Morrison – He initially identified Kramer as a person of interest in the Smog Stranglings; eventually he identified the correct men, Tobias Lehigh Nagy, “5’ 6”, bald and reputedly a very generous tipper.”
Kathy Lee Gifford – While visiting the set of Regis and Kathy Lee to promote his coffee table book, Kramer spit-taked all over Kathy Lee. That’s something we’ve all wanted to do.
Bryant Gumbel – Always the nice guy in the real world, in the Seinfeld world, when Jerry showed up on the Today show to promote a benefit to clothe the homeless, Bryant mocked Jerry’s “puffy shirt.”
Candice Bergen – Kremer proved to be the only secretary Murphy Brown found competent.
David Letterman – David could not be bothered to remember Jerry’s name.
Al Roker – Who knew that there were people out there who collect TV Guide? I hope that Al’s recent surgery for cancer does not mean points. Thanks goodness, from all reports, he is doing well.
Marisa Tomei – On Seinfeld, Marisa is attracted to short, chubby, bald men. Ah! Were it only so.
