A little pre-Halloween treat, for those of you who like scary stories -- the talking heads on our television screens had plenty of ominous warnings for us.

Bill Maher delivered a detailed scenario on Friday night’s edition of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, in which former President Donald Trump retakes power, devoting his New Rules segment to the prospect of a 2024 repeat of Trump’s attempted subversion of the electorate — but a successful one this time.

“The Ding Dongs, who sacked the Capitol last year? That was like when Al Qaeda tried to take down the World Trade Center the first time with a van. It was a joke. But the next time they came back with planes,” Maher said, adding “I hope I scared the sh** out of you!”

Margaret Hoover — along with her fellow CNN commentator husband John Avlon — has had enough of Republicans playing ostrich about Trump’s intentions to run again in 2024

“This man is running and he still runs the Republican party. Republicans need to get their head out of the sand and start dealing with it.”

“Yeah, out of something, the sand or other places,” quipped Jim Acosta.

Over on MSNBC, Mehdi Hasan was also sounding the alarm, warning his viewers that America was “in the midst of a rolling coup" and predicting that if Trump was the 2024 presidential nominee and the GOP controlled the House of Representatives, then “they will not certify a Democratic victory in 2024.”

Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was quoted in Peril, the book from Robert Costa and Bob Woodward that produced a number of stark revelations about the Trump presidency, comparing the Jan. 6 Capitol riot to the “great dress rehearsal” ahead of the 1905 Russian Revolution.

'Out of the Clemson University school of drama'

During the second quarter of the Tampa Bay-Miami game on Sunday, Dolphins defensive end Christian Wilkins took a painfully obvious flop after being mildly shoved by Bucs running back Leonard Fournette. The Tampa back gave Wilkins a slight push on the shoulder, and it was very clear that Wilkins was able to maintain his balance. But then, a split-second later, he threw his arms up in the air and began staggering backwards.

“That was Robert De Niro in his prime!” CBS analyst Tony Romo, broadcasting the game, said sarcastically.

“Out of the Clemson University school of drama,” Romo’s colleague Jim Nantz added, referring to Wilkins’s alma mater.
