Ah yes, "He tells it like it is" Good ol' Tell it like it is Trump. Regular makes the outrageous comments then his handlers including Karoline Leavitt explain "what he really meant." Or my favorite, "it was taken out of context."
I could live with Grammer’s substance abuse history. Younger sister raped and murdered by spree killers? Okay ain’t gonna judge. Coke yourself the fuck up, maybe I get it. Glad there were people who cared about him, glad he got better.
Looking pretty sideways at allegations about sex with someone very underage tho. They didn’t charge him. Okay, noted.
And REALLY pretty pissed he’s such an idiot about autocrats and climate change. What the fuck is it with these actors and Putin? Depardieu is a gross schmuck this way too last I heard.
Both of them I can’t even watch anymore. Don’t care who else is in the project. Just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Weird too how oddly that constellation always seems to form. Questions about certain habits. And oh look who they say they like.
Ironically, Marky Mark is also a tacit, if not vocal, Trump supporter. He “has expressed optimism about Donald Trump's presidency, praised his business acumen, and maintained a friendly, albeit casual, relationship with him… has confirmed playing golf with Donald Trump, describing him as ‘an OK golfer’ and noting that during their meetings, ‘he wasn't ever mean or rude’.
So where’s the problem? The fascists have always been nice to me and mine.
Well I guess comic books can never be slagged off as unrealistic ever again.
This is the first time this year I even thought of Kelsey Grammer, so he's got that going for him. And he's a perfect hypocrite to be slotted nicely in the rightwing media human centipede as a guest.
About the claim that trump speaks his mind, my first response is "What mind?" My second is, "Sure he bleats whatever is in head at any given moment, but that doesn't mean that it's appropriate for that moment, nor does it mean that you know where he stands. He changes his mind constantly, and that in and of itself isn't a bad thing, if based upon learning more facts. He changes his mind based upon what he thinks is good for him at any given moment in time."
BTW, did Grammer offer any specific examples that demonstrate what a great job trump is doing, or that his regime really is the most transparent? Vomiting out whatever is rattling around in his head isn't transparency. Failing to release the trump/Epstein Files properly (ALL the files, with only the victims' names redacted) isn't being transparent, it's a cover-up. That hasn't stopped the guy formerly known as Prince Andrew from being arrested. May justice finally catch up to trump!
There may well be just more consequences possible in the UK; maybe the predators aren't in charge of the justice system and that makes a difference. Kinda unthinkable to imagine a person in Andrew's level of prominence getting actually arrested and potentially doing time.
And ahhhh Grammer knows the way to play in the rightwing media human centipede, it seems. Just gotta win the moment...doesn't need to be consistent with whatever was said before, even an hour prior. Just win the moment!
Pretty short sighted on his behalf. Sometimes the best thing you can do is STFU but too many people clearly don’t understand this. They put a target on their back and then complain about people shooting at them (metaphorically speaking).
Trump is doubling down — sending militarized agents into our communities, murdering citizens, silencing voters, and handing billionaires giveaways while families struggle. This isn’t just politics. It’s democracy versus dictatorship. And together, we’re choosing democracy.
On March 28, millions of us are rising again to show the world: America has no kings and the power belongs to the people.
I'm a nerd of a different stripe, so I just straight up missed all the Transformers movies, but I did read The Uncanny X-men back in my day and all this sounds verrrrrry familiar.
I find it so disconcerting and infuriating that Kelsey Grammar, a man who used cocaine, was arrested for drunk driving, and was accused of sexual abuse by a 15-year-old girl (the charges were dropped), seems to be clueless that only by good fortune did he escape prison. He seems to have doubled down on his GOP position, saying his renewed dedication to God, rather than the help of his friends, the leniency of the court, his money, and his celebrity, is what saved him. That he is so good at playing villains, believing that his righteousness allows him to ditch morality and humanity for his ends, proves how little he understands his true nature. He is a better-spoken, better-dressed, and better-focused version of Donald Trump, as is Sideshow Bob (well, except for the crazy hair). I post this from the Guardian regarding villains singing "For He Is an Englishman," with Sideshow Bob as the winner -- https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2026/feb/17/the-song-that-tv-villains-love-to-sing. Would that such villains were confined to TV and films.
Also reminds me of James Woods (upset re Rob Reiner, but then he's dumping on Mamdani). What happened to the actor who was so great with James Garner in the 1989 production of "My Name Is Bill W"?
Craig T. Nelson what an asshole he is. It was perfectly fine for HIM to get public assistance but no one else. Cuz his case was “different”. Translation: Cuz he was white.

Dude is a professional train wreck as well as a one note/trick pony that relies on the volume of his voice. American sweethearts….
"Washed up Hollywood actor goes full-MAGA" seems to be a reoccurring theme.

"transparent" = he lies constantly, but I enjoy what he is lying about, and makes no effort to conceal his hatred of others.
NOTED.
" “because you’re an inventor, like me.” That’s adorable. Elon Musk is just as unhinged and bigoted as people like Savoy"
Elon Musk isn't really an inventor. He's a rich kid who made some lucky investments. Other people invented the things he's promoting.
However, point taken. Just cuz someone invented something doesn't make them good.
Great article!

I'm going to be in Portland for the next No Kings! Very much looking forward to it.
America thanks you!
I’ll be there! And bringing as many people as I can. Doing some active recruiting and last time I got a first timer to join.
Same here. WE THE PEOPLE HAVE HAD ENOUGH!
I doubt that he has very many friends in Hollywood.

That reminds me of both Tim Allen and Craig T. Nelson. A very sad point you make about how we get the villains in real life.
And gallingly, even supervillains who have single-minded, hateful purpose yet incredible means, are real!
Also reminds me of James Woods (upset re Rob Reiner, but then he's dumping on Mamdani). What happened to the actor who was so great with James Garner in the 1989 production of "My Name Is Bill W"?
Don't know what happened to him. James Woods was a good actor before he turned wingnut.
Craig T. Nelson what an asshole he is. It was perfectly fine for HIM to get public assistance but no one else. Cuz his case was “different”. Translation: Cuz he was white.
