“Hocus Pocus” witch Bette Midler shared a liberal fantasy about President Joe Biden arresting GOP congress members of Congress in an unhinged social media post.
Even more controversially, her “suggestion” included federal agents using lethal force so Democrats could become the House majority.
“Now that Joe has total immunity, many are urging him to be GOP ruthless,” Midler tweeted on Friday.
“Here’s a suggestion for implementing his new powers,” she captioned a screenshot from an opinion piece in The New Republic.

The segment of the article Midler shared outlines a scenario where Biden orders the arrests of top Republican lawmakers, including a scene where Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) is fatally shot while resisting arrest.
“I regret to inform you that Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has been arrested,” the snippet began. “A number of other members of the House Republican Conference have been taken into custody.”
“Jim Jordan, unfortunately, attempted to resist arrest. After wrestling with an FBI agent, he met a tragic fate,” the insane liberal fantasy continued. “In the sudden absence of those members, there is a new majority in the House.”
“I look forward to a long and cooperative relationship,” The New Republic segment concluded.
“I can say proudly, gridlock is at last broken. And we can all give thanks to the Supreme Court.”
Midler’s suggestion was widely blasted by social media for her hot take on SCOTUS’s presidential immunity ruling.
“What law school did you graduate from?” One commenter questioned. “Because if that’s what you think the Supreme Court decision means, you need your money back.”
“The “our democracy” mask slips, and the true authoritarian fascist comes shining through,” someone else scolded. “You can’t despise these out of touch actors nearly enough.”
Two days earlier, the far-left “First Wives Club” star went on a rampage about the flack first lady Jill Biden has been taking encouraging her mentally declining husband, president Joe Biden, to stay in the race.
Ex-Fox News host Megyn Kelly recently fired shots a Dr. Jill, calling her a self-promotional “power-hungry aspirant” who is trying to run a “shadow presidency” by propping up her obviously “infirm” husband.
“The pile-on against #JillBiden is disgusting but hardly surprising,” Midler tweeted on Friday.
“As usual, blame the woman, every man’s default position since f****** Adam and Eve,” she continued.
“Did it ever enter your thick skulls that she might be doing the OTHER thing women are socialized to do, standing by her man?” Midler concluded.

Meanwhile, fellow Hollywood ultra-liberal Rob Reiner, a longtime Biden supporter, has shockingly turned against the President.
In a stunning about-face, Reiner posted that “it’s time for Joe Biden to step down.”
“If the Convicted Felon wins, we lose our Democracy,” he wrote. “Joe Biden has effectively served US with honor, decency, and dignity.”
It’s time to stop fucking around. If the Convicted Felon wins, we lose our Democracy. Joe Biden has effectively served US with honor, decency, and dignity. It’s time for Joe Biden to step down.

This is an unexpected shift for the “Stand By Me director,” who has been a prominent fundraiser for Biden, channeling donations from celebrities and Hollywood executives into Biden’s campaign.
Up until last week, following Biden’s dismal debate performance, Reiner was still hosting Hollywood fundraisers in support of Biden.
Reiner got a reality check during the debate as he watched Biden fall apart on live television, which reportedly had him so incensed, the director screamed out loud at a watch party.
However, the next day, Reiner reaffirmed his support for Biden. “Not a tough choice,” he tweeted.
“Last night’s debate was a disaster for President Biden. But the choice is still crystal clear: We either can choose a good decent man who cares about his fellow citizens and knows how to govern, or a Convicted Felon who will destroy our Democracy,” he posted.
Actress Minnie Driver, who is British, but obtained U.S. citizenship in 2017, and also voiced strong opinions against Trump and his supporters.

In an interview with The Times of London, Driver described Trump’s supporters as “racist” and criticized his stance on immigration and environmental policies.
Driver remarked about the “revelation of the 70 million people who really quite like a bit of a racist attitude and non-existent immigration policies and dismantling the environmental agencies.”
“They were always there,” she said about Trump. “They weren’t created by him. He’s just a symptom, and now they’ve got a mascot.”
“Of course he deserves to be in prison — of course he does,” the “Good Will Hunting” star told the outlet.
“But just looking at how much money he raised in that two days, $53 million in a 48-hour period, and the idea that because the founding fathers — if there had been some mothers involved, perhaps it would be different — left no room in the Constitution for the idea that the American people could be so stupid as to vote for a felon, there is nothing reflected in the judiciary about what would happen if he wins,” she snarked.
Driver has since moved back to the U.K., but when asked if she would come back to the U.S. if Trump wins in Novermber, whe responded, “If I lived in a red state, no, I couldn’t.”
