Poor framing by @npr.org here, blaming $40T debt solely on spending “The U.S. needs to borrow to offset the recklessly irresponsible Bush & Trump tax cuts, which deprived the government of revenue needed to balance the budget (as it was prior to those tax cuts).” There. Fixed it.
Looking for animators / storyboard artists for this project. Title: SIDE HUSTLE Logline: Because municipal pay “ain’t enough” to enough the finer things in life, a firefighting crew uses municipal assets, on-the-clock, for a series of zany side hustles. Comps: PARADISE PD, BRICKLEBERRY
I’m David, lived mostly in the Carolinas, currently in DC helping out with first grandson. Writing comedy features and pilots, completed 2 shorts with 1 more in post and another in animation hell. There’s a comedic angle to nearly everything. Currently in post: EASY GAME, a proof-of-concept…

Impossible to write political satire when reality is weirder than any writer’s imagination, Exhibit G.
Which bank holds this DOJ Judgment Fund? Does that bank acknowledge 14th Amendment language that “neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States…”? Doesn’t the bank share culpability? 1/2
Impossible to write political satire when reality is weirder than a writer’s imagination, Exhibit F. $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” to “compensate” people who “believe” they were mistreated by the Biden administration.
Picked up a print edition of NY Times a couple days ago. Boy did their Business section lead with a hard-hitting headline. Tin cans!! 😱😱😱
Pitch your script or WIP using two movie posters as comps. #Scriptsky EASY GAME
Impossible to write political satire right now, Exhibit B. (Although, if we tried, the masses would post 8647 seashell pics to gin up enough arrests to gum up the DOJ for the next 3 years.) #Comey #DOJ #Indictment
