Remember when Dumpy came back from Walter Reed and ripped off his mask?

They staged two takes to make him happy.

The underlings all fear the wrath of the Boss and Sub-Bosses.

Glad they’re limited intellectually, too, though. As Gen. George S. Patton said to his staff:

“If everyone’s thinking alike, nobody’s doing any thinking.”

Four Seasons Total Landscaping needs to be preserved as a national museum.

This is where the retraction of 2020's "declared victory" by the media will have all started. A grass roots movement of protests and social media and legal battles is going to result in the full restoration of Trump's status as victor. This historic upset will be more shocking than the Dewey / Truman debacle of the 1940's.

Thank you, Shermann!

They deserve to placed on the National Registry of Historic Places.

Then there are the lessons even Ms DeVos wouldn’t call indoctrination:

“Today the lawn. Tomorrow the edging.”

“Rudy is a few plants short of a full flat.”

“When a President mows it, that means it’s not mossery.“

Not that Four Seasons: how Trump event ended up next to sex shop and crematorium

US president mocked after news conference featuring Rudy Giuliani was held in landscaping firm car park instead of upscale hotel


Tribune News Service, Nov. 9, 2020

Excerpt...

In a Facebook post Sunday, the Four Seasons team described itself as a "family-owned small business run by lifelong Philadelphians" that would have "proudly hosted any presidential candidate’s campaign."

"We strongly believe in America and in democracy," the message read. It promised it would have merch ready to sell by Monday.

But even the company’s staff seemed somewhat perplexed by their moment in the national spotlight. Kevin Moran, a foreman at the firm, simply shrugged when asked about it while opening the gate to the business’s lot on Sunday.

He said that he believed the campaign had found the business on Google and was interested in it because it was a "secure location" set off from the street by a security fence.

As for the confusion with the hotel, Moran said, "everybody gets mixed up. There’s multiple Four Seasons. Four Seasons Hotel, there’s two Four Seasons Landscaping. We’re ‘Total,’ the other one, I think it’s just landscaping."

I’d like to see a Hallmark Made for TV movie on this. Jim Carey could do Corey proud.

Lo! The irony runs deep.

It's a shame Stanley Kubrick or Wes Craven are no longer with us... However, maybe Quentin Tarantino could take a crack at it or David Lynch if he hasn't lost his edge.

Ha! Jim Carey! There's cinema magic brewing here!

I would have loved to see the faces of Rudy and his gang when they showed expecting a nice conference room and then they were told it'd be in the backyard of some random shop.
I hope that those who recorded the event also zoomed out from time to time.
