*fail for the actress laughing! However, it did make this sketch funnier.

I wonder if that was inspiration for this lovely little sketch:

Something tells me you'd appreciate a Monty Python sketch about the prices on planet Algon, but I didn't find a clip in the 10 seconds I spent looking so you might have to read the script and use your imagination.

Perhaps even more concerning than nuclear secrets being exposed* is the possibility that intelligence sources were compromised. In fact, this seems extraordinarily likely, given that the CIA in October 2021 sent out a memo stating they'd been losing sources (via arrest, being compromised, or being killed) at a concerning rate. That's a rather major issue for national defense. Clearly something was the cause of that increased loss of assets, and TS/SCI documents are very likely to have included sources. Why would papers only meant to be stored or accessed within a specialized, secure facility be redacted?

The topics of the documents in question may not matter, in terms of how fucked FPOTUS might be. if Trump, for reasons of greed, malice, and/or gross negligence, caused the loss of sources useful to US security, that's legally a biiiig fucking deal.

And even being the cause of the murder of multiple intelligence assets may not really matter at all. Because, legally, being in possession of TS/SCI documents outside of a SCIF is a biiiig fucking deal all on its own. The jail term PER DOCUMENT runs multiple years.

Relevant legal mumbo-jumbo:
18 U.S. Code § 793 - Gathering, transmitting or losing defense information
(b) Whoever, for the purpose aforesaid, and with like intent or reason to believe, copies, takes, makes, or obtains, or attempts to copy, take, make, or obtain, any sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blueprint, plan, map, model, instrument, appliance, document, writing, or note of anything connected with the national defense; ...
(f) ...Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.
(g) If two or more persons conspire to violate any of the foregoing provisions of this section, and one or more of such persons do any act to effect the object of the conspiracy, each of the parties to such conspiracy shall be subject to the punishment provided for the offense which is the object of such conspiracy.

*Nuclear secrets being exposed also does seem plausible, but with so many countries having nukes and so many existing to be fucked with in some manner, I feel the much more exclusive knowledge of US intelligence asset identities is a larger problem, legally and probably morally. He probably directly caused multiple murders, and a general degradation of the US's intelligence capabilities. Not something one wants in a commander in chief.

I don't mean to take away from how awful the subject of the video is, but for those in a Python body bag mood, you might want to enjoy this. They were only allowed do the sketch if they made it clear that it's well beyond what decent clean-living folk would consider good taste.

This is my favourite unknown Python sketch, and one I recommend to non-python speaking people as an easy introduction to the silliness.

*backup=[...snipped...]

I'm totally with you.

The Crank movies were great.

From time to time my wife and I will still reference that hilarious police sketch of him:

RIP Henry Woolf, who I know best from several collaborations with Eric Idle including this, the first sketch from RWT, and one of my favourites.

Machine-wrapped with butter indeed. *promote

Monty Python and The Muppets separately had sketches about animals trained/tuned to squeal at a particular pitch when hit. They were assembled into an instrument that allowed a sadist play tunes on them with hammers.

Between the timbre of the notes and the look of the 'keys', from start to finish I couldn't stop thinking of this instrument as the same, but using pleasure instead of pain (if you get my meaning).

Oh come on the sketch with the salesman and frying pan lady was not bad.

This show was a hidden gem when it first aired, but nobody ever seems to have heard of it and full episodes are hard to find. Glad to see it coming back around in the golden age of sketch comedy!
