Hollywood couldn’t make this up
They were beckoned to the Oval Office, the group of misfits, rattling invisible sabers, oozing conspiracies, dark poisons and sweat. Soiling the air in America’s House. Empowered with the surety of an upcoming magic marker pardoning of their sins, they revel in their traitorous debauchery. They pace the room, plotting and scheming and wringing their hands as they spin up the madman, cowed in a corner, mumbling french fry nonsense, clutching desperately at the air as the sands fall down the hourglass.
Welcome to The December Plot — An American Coup in Three Acts. Listen, it’s got everything — the classic good versus evil, loads of villains, loyalty tests, team alignment, and a hell of a twist at the end. Hey, it’s the ultimate American show! We could get maybe the disgraced actor Kevin Spacey to play the guy mumbling in the corner — oh, and I just love that guy from “Mank”!
