He left the party because they aren't extreme enough? Yeah, no fucking wonder no one wants to work with you asshole.

Far-right actor James Woods announced on X Friday that he is leaving the Republican Party because Republicans in Congress aren't willing to be aggressive enough in support of President Donald Trump and his conspiracy theories.
The catalyst for Woods' anger appears to be a far-right account that posted a video from Lindell TV of Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) complaining that the House GOP refused to sign on to her subpoena to pursue racist conspiracy theories against Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN).
I tried to subpoena her immigration records, her brother husband's immigration records, and IT WAS REPUBLICANS that killed my motion, she said in the clip.
Republicans, going all the way up to Trump, have long latched onto an unsubstantiated rumor, first posted to a Somali-American diaspora internet forum years ago, that Omar's ex-husband was actually her brother, and their marriage was a fraudulent scheme to grant him citizenship.

(1,142 posts)It amazes me these actors who support Trump.
Or they are actors who never acted or read Shakespeare.
One sees antecedents of Trump in Shakespearean characters like Richard III.
There are great lines in Shakespeare; about 20 to 30 which could apply to Donald Trump.
For example:
MENENIUS
There is no more
mercy in him than there is milk in a male tiger.
--Shakespeare, Coriolanus 5.4.28-29
