Whatever Happened

Jane Hudson: You don't think I remember anything, do you? There are a whole lot of things I remember. And you never paid for this house. Baby Jane Hudson made the money that paid for this house, that's who!
Blanche Hudson: Yes, she's emotionally disturbed. She's unbalanced!
Edwin Flagg: [shocked at some obscenities Jane has scrawled] I can't remember the last time I saw words like that written down!
Jane Hudson: I don't want to talk about it! Everytime I think about something nice, you remind me of bad things. I only want to talk about the nice things.
Jane Hudson: Blanche, you aren't ever gonna sell this house... and you aren't ever gonna leave it... either.
Jane Hudson: It's just that nosy Mrs. Bates going on about your picture last night.
Blanche Hudson: Oh, really, did she like it?
Jane Hudson: [imitating Blanche's voice] Oh, really, did she like it?... She liked it!
Jane Hudson: I didn't bring your breakfast, because you didn't eat your din-din!
Blanche Hudson: You wouldn't be able to do these awful things to me if I weren't still in this chair.
Jane Hudson: But you *are*, Blanche! You *are* in that chair!
Jane Hudson: You mean,all this time we could have been friends?
Jane Hudson: You mean, all this time we could have been friends?(‘Whatever Happened to Baby Jane’, ScreenPlay by Lukas Heller)

Trump: I know nothing about the Russians, I am sure its Hillary and the DNC. Jared is the BEST negotiator ever, so what if he has friends in Saudi Arabia/Turkey/UAE isn’t he allowed to take vacation time. I never really knew Paul, is it Manafort he was some unemployed schnook that needed a job, sue me for helping the unemployed. I only travel to places with good golf courses, I am certain there are none in that place called the Seychelles, are they an island or a city? The women, they can’t stop adoring me, and pregnant women are too busy being sick to be adored, and people can write checks to anonymous porn stars. 
America: But you are the Commander-In-Chief
Trump: No I am not, Vlad says I am a Bad Ass, An Emperor, A Strongman, much BETTER than any other title, and Vlad says if I work a little harder he will place some laundered money in my account and I can become a King for Life
America: But that is not how democracy works.
Trump: But it ain’t gonna work that way anymore, America, it ani’t I tell you, it ain’t!


Sometimes I hope and pray I am watching a movie, or maybe a spooky TV show. Sometimes I wish I had been reading the novels from authors who are concerned about good versus evil. Sometimes I wish I had just taken a deep REM sleep full of dreams and maybe a bit of nightmares, and waking up to find that all the AWFUL stuff has faded into the atmosphere. But then each and every day, there continues to be TRUMP, sitting in the White House, causing the coiffed and perfumed talking heads and journalists to debate why, how, and what…and still pretending that something can be done to rid this nation of a narcissistic, heartless, lack of empathy and soulless clown, placed into office by a foreign power aided by homegrown terrorists called the Republicans. Whatever Happened to America!
