I don’t remember Joe Piscopo’s stand up routine. I do remember that he was a good sketch comic. ---

> [@Mollie\_Magill](#): > > I don’t remember Joe Piscopo’s stand up routine. I do remember that he was a good sketch comic. I remember him from SNL and a movie called _Dead Heat_ he starred in with Treat Williams. Oh, and _Johnny Dangerously._ I thought his career had been kind of derailed by a cancer scare, which led to him getting all buffed from his fitness routine, but I honestly hadn’t heard much from him in decades. It’s disappointing to see him in the news for this. ---

_Take back Vanessa Redgrave_ _Take back Joe Piscopo_ _Take back Eddie Murphy_ _Give 'em all someplace to go_ That’s what I hear whenever Piscopo comes up. It’s funny that Eddie Murphy was pissed at Petty over the song because that part was written by Bob Dylan. Petty later said he had nothing against Redgrave or Murphy, completely ignoring poor ol’ Joe. ---

When I first read about the Trump takeover of the RNC, I was really hoping that this would be the result, and more than happy to see it coming true. Obviously Trump siphoning RNC money to pay his legal bills is a big part of the problem, but I also wonder how many GOP donors are _not_ giving money to the RNC now, knowing damn well where that money is going. ---

Problem is, the RNC is probably going to just start stiffing people the way the America-hating fuckstick does, and justifying it as the way their cult leader behaves, so it must be okay. ---

Waitaminute. L.L.C. Stands for Limited Liability Corporation, right? Try to catch the America-hating fuckstick and his cronies accepting even _limited_ liability for anything. ---

More interestingly is that, effectively, the entire hierarchy of the RNC has been replaced and stacked with people with no experience. Said people also want to do things in New, Fancy, Better ways - like Musk wanted to build Teslas with full roboticization.
