Is it possible, at this late date, for a new candidate to enter the 2024 presidential race and shake up the election? As it turns out, there is someone who can do just that, and you already know who he is.

For reasons seemingly no one understands, the embattled actor shared another bizarre video with 'fans' on Sunday. Embattled actor Kevin Spacey is once again making Christmas surreal and awkward by portraying his (notably killed off) House of Cards character in what is quickly becoming an unfortunate holiday tradition. As Spacey has done numerous times before, the controversial actor donned the persona of Frank Underwood, and was joined this time around by recently fired former Fox News host Tucker Carlson for a mock political interview. The 7-minute clip, titled "Being Frank With Tucker," Spacey's Underwood sits down for a surreal yuletide...

North Carolina Republican Rep. Madison Cawthorn said the 'sexual perversion' and drug use at the nation's capitol on popular TV show House of Cards is just like what he sees in Washington, D.C.. Cawthorn, 26, was asked during an interview with the Warrior Poet Society how closely his experience on Capitol Hill aligns with the Netflix series, specifically its elements of 'corruption, power, money and perversion.' Cawthorn said that the her once heard a former president say the only thing that was unrealistic about the show was that Congress would ever be able to pass a piece of legislation that...

Rep. Madison Cawthorn says his fellow lawmakers have invited him to take part in orgies in Washington and snorted lines of cocaine right in front of him. Cawthorn, a 26-year-old Republican from North Carolina, was asked in an interview last Thursday about whether the former Netflix series “House of Cards,” which chronicles a corrupt representative from South Carolina in DC played by Kevin Spacey, was fiction or more like a documentary. “The only thing that’s not accurate in that show is that you could never get a piece of legislation about education passed that quickly,” Cawthorn said on the Warrior...

Washington, D.C., is affectionately known as “The Swamp” by many people who have had to deal with the legislation that happens in the capital city, or comment on the goings-on there. Now, it seems that one of the founders of our country and the first President of the United States might likely be spinning in his grave at Mount Vernon over the drugs and sex taking place in the city named after him.Maybe it is sex and drugs, though, I’m not sure of the order.A freshman lawmaker from North Carolina, Representative Madison Cawthorn made a stunning admission on a podcast...

The recent ruling represents a significant shift in the insulated nature of actors.This week a hearing delivered a small surprise when it ruled on a case involving Hollywood star Kevin Spacey in a case brought against the actor by the production studio MRC. The arbitration found that Spacey will be responsible for tens of millions of dollars payable to the studio because of the manner that he impacted the production of the television show “House Of Cards”.It was in 2017 when Spacey was taken down for inappropriate sexual behavior, as the MeToo movement provoked a number of individuals to testify...

Toy Story 4 is premiering next week, which means the stars are doing interviews to promote it, which means the Internet is picking apart every syllable to find something to be angry about. Outrage mining is America's #1 growth industry. Here's a snippet from what appears to be a harmless, lighthearted celebrity interview: "You don't know how to play Spades?" "I'm gonna say I do, just 'cause I wanna move on." I thought this was kind of funny because I don't know how to play Spades* either. I don't like card games in general, and when people talk about them,...

Let Me Be Frank - Kevin Spacey https://youtu.be/JZveA-NAIDI

Kevin Spacey shared a bizarre video of himself Monday as his Frank Underwood character from Netflix's "House of Cards" after authorities announced he faces a felony charge for allegedly sexually assaulting the teenage son of former WCVB news anchor Heather Unruh at a Nantucket bar in July 2016. The Boston Globe was the first to report that Cape and Islands District Attorney Michael O'Keefe said the actor will be arraigned on a charge of indecent assault and battery on Jan. 7, 2019, at Nantucket District Court. A lawyer for Spacey did not immediately return Fox News' request for comment. However,...

“Mary Queen of Scots” is director Josie Rourke’s historical retelling of one of the most fraught and interesting periods of the Elizabethan era. But how much of it is fact and how much is fiction? The film, which is written by Beau Willimon (“House of Cards”) and based on a book by John Guy, stars Saoirse Ronan in the titular role as Mary Stuart and Margot Robbie as her cousin, Queen Elizabeth I. It also showcases a number of actors of color in prominent roles in both Mary’s and Elizabeth’s courts, including decorated Shakespearean actor Adrian Lester, who is...

New York Times reporter Ali Watkins' past tweets are raising eyebrows after revelations she had a three-year romantic relationship with a Senate Intelligence Committee aide now accused by federal prosecutors of leaking sensitive information to journalists, including herself. (Snip) In an April 2013 tweet, Watkins also tweeted about the fictional Netflix television show “House of Cards,” where a young reporter has an affair with an older member of Congress. “I wanted to be Zoe Barnes...until episode 4,” she tweeted. “Sleeping with your source- especially a vindictive congressman? #badlifechoice #HouseofCards”

Claire Underwood had no problem filling her husband’s shoes. House of Cards’ sixth and final season will air next month, but there was a time when it wasn’t known whether the Netflix political drama would be returning. The series' leading man, Kevin Spacey, who played former president Francis Underwood, was fired from the show last November following allegations of sexual assault, which he has denied.

Julius Caesar is dead (again). Long live "Julius Caesar." Whether the famous dead Roman is a lookalike for President Donald Trump, with a blond comb-over and a long red tie; a cool black dude in a tailored suit suggesting former President Barack Obama; or a 1930s Orson Welles with a Sam Browne belt resembling Benito Mussolini, the character has captured the imagination of the public and the players since Shakespeare wrote the play more than four centuries ago. The spectacle changes with fresh costumes and new sets to emphasize contemporary issues for specific audiences, but the words continue to plumb...

Second protester rushes stage at Shakespeare in the Park.  

What a deal! After learning that an actor dressed to look just like his father gets brutally murdered on stage in a production of William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, Donald Trump, Jr. asked, “I wonder how much of this 'art' is funded by taxpayers?" Well, thanks to some digging by Adam Andrzejewski, founder of the federal watchdog OpenTheBooks.com, we now know the answer: "Data at OpenTheBooks.com shows that over $4.1 million in federal, state and city grants funded the New York Shakespeare Festival (NYSF) – the parent company to Public Theater and its production, Shakespeare in the Park – over the...

According to Playbill, The Public Theater’s Oskar Eustis directed the Trump-inspired take on the classic political drama, which boasts famed stage actor John Douglas Thompson and House of Cards star Corey Stoll in its cast. The choice of Julius Caesar for the annual program is one dripping with subtext, chosen deliberately for the supposed parallels between the Roman dictator and Trump. A description of the play on The Public Theater’s website states that “Shakespeare’s political masterpiece has never felt more contemporary.” It describes the Roman leader as “Magnetic, populist, irreverent,” and “bent on absolute power.” The description also notes that...

Here’s another clip from the Twitter livestream we told you about last night where Stoneman Douglas student activist David Hogg talks about the TV show “House of Cards” and how the show depicts the “real life” of politics in America:

Production of “House of Cards” season 6 was suspended in October, following sexual assault allegations against star Kevin Spacey. Season six of the political thriller will be eight episodes, starring Robin Wright. The final season will not include Spacey, as previously announced.
