This should explain things
(plug in names of cureent candidates in place of Obama and Romney)

King Arthur returns from the dead in accordance with legend, but is now completely unqualified to lead due to having missed the last millenium of political and technological progress (sort of like a combination of the constitutional peasant scene from Monty Python & The Holy Grail with the future shock/culture shock scenes of the first Austin Powers film

King Arthur, King Harold, Robert the Bruce, Finn MacCool, Emperor Nero, Bran the Blessed, Owain Glyndwr, King Olaf I, Vlad III, Sir Francis Drake, Emperor Norton, and JFK (i.e., many of the "king sleeping under the mountain" figures) revive simultaneously on the outset of the third world war, and get into a great drunken brawl in a dive bar.

The King(s) Under the Mountain(s) are awoken when mining and deforestation remove the ravens and eagles etc. circling the mountaintops

EDIT:
Another idea:
A story with a premise similar to The Purge, ie. there's an annual festival where all crime becomes legal. In this reimagining however, most people spend purge night at work. The corporations pay all their workers overtime and hazard pay to come in and spend the entire day destroying documents and other evidence proving criminal activity, as well as records that they are supposed to keep but cost money to maintain and store.

EDIT:
Another idea:
The problem - Invasion by alien monsters that sense fear
The solution - lots and lots of PCP

EDIT:
Another idea:
Cthulhu's return to active life after his long inprisonment at the hands of the Elder Gods is the subject of a comedy similar to the first season of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Possibly the title starts with the word "Unspeakable".

EDIT:
Another idea:
A dark-comedy biopic of the incompetant spree-killer/serial-killer Laurie Dann (her homemade bomb failed to detonate, nobody wanted her poisoned food, her arson fire was found and extinguished before it could spread, her hostages got away. All in all she only successfully killed one person, while firing wildly into a crowd.)

EDIT:
Another idea:
An updated, english language version of Pagliacci starring the guys from Insane Clown Posse

I just rewatched Back to the Future and it gave me an odd idea: How about a movie deliberately constructed to evoke the feel of a point-and-click adventure type computer game. Like, a significant part of the movie would consist of the protagonist accumulating and combining random junk. Back to the Future almost does this, the first 1/3 or so of the movie consists of Marty acquiring random stuff that later (earlier?) comes in handy, but there's not much contrived combining of items, and the acquiring of them gradually peters out.

EDIT:
Another idea:
Skit about a skin care specialist named "Doctor Acula" (which of course would abbreviate to "Dr.Acula") who warns people to stay out of the sun

What do you guys think the odds are that a Trump presidency would cause the actual end of he world (as opposed to "merely" a police state and/or another pointless war and/or an America as bankrupt as everything else that Trump's ever ran)?

"Venitari dies leading to Morpork campaigning to leave Ankh. Head of Builders guild has convinced Morpork residents that a big wall is needed to stop Ankh citizens abusing their services. Plot thickens when it turn out Morpork has no services it's actually a huge scam to implement some kind of apartheid so Ankh citizens can have no waiting for anything. Backers financing the split are revealed to be Quirm and various historic entities enemies."

You should post that to the Original Story Ideas thread in the Literate Chaotic board

I'm not sure where the name comes from.

Indeed. Why doves? If I had to choose an organism, intestinal flora would be more apt. Absolutely disgusting, yet their absence will cause problems.

Also, suspect this is the first article in question:

Plenty of financial and real estate players got carried away in the go-go 1980s. But Trump was in a class by himself.

He ended up presiding over six — count 'em, six — bankruptcies because he kept making business decisions with his gut rather than with his brain.

Edit to add:

"The Apprentice" was a pivotal event for Trump. It made him into a truly national figure, and he says the show paid him more than $200 million during its run.

Even in the strange world of TV payments and salaries, this seems like an extraordinary sum. The most likely explanations here are either lying, mentally ill or he's actually been paid this amount. With his past, I'm leaning to two of the three.

That's about $140k per episode, or $14m/year for the 14 years it ran.

It seriously ran 14 years!?

Story with setting that appears similar to the Matrix trilogy (with regard to general premise re. simulated reality and rouge ai, but not in regard to characters, character roles, character goals, or locations), but with additional levels of intrigue, to wit:
1.) the so-called "real" world is also false. Part of the same simulation
2.) There are no Machines, not as a real faction at any rate; The war against the machines is another false distraction. The simulation was created by living beings.
3.) The real kicker: There are no humans. The protagonists' bodies in the real real world are utterly alien. The film ends with the protagonist being "killed" and waking up in a lovecraftian landscape and an equally lovecraftian body that they don't know how to use. They panic for a short time before being summarily executed by one of their keepers.

THC isn't water soluble.

Plus even if it was wouldn't they need a hell of a lot of it for it to not get diluted to the point of having no effect?

All the business leaders and captains of industry go on strike like at the end of Atlas Shrugged but economic collapse is averted by the discovery of a cache of "Magic 8-Ball"s, which are installed in place of the business leaders and improve the efficiency of the economy by 10%. The business leaders try to come back but nobody wants them.

EDIT:
Another idea:
While trying to come up with more mocking Atlas Shrugged parodies I hit on a great concept for a character: a combination of Tony Stark and Howard Hughes

I want you all to know that if you never hear from me again I've had a hate aneurysm after listening to Trump's speech before bed. Every single republican who cheered for "protecting the lives of LGBT Americans" while enthusiastically supporting bathroom bills that put the lives of trans people in immediate danger can choke to death on every toy bad dragon produces. I hate them all.

To be fair, it's not like they're trying to legalize assaulting these people. I mean, some of them might also want to do that but that's a seperate matter clearly beyond the scope of the bill. The bathroom bill strikes me as clearly coming more from a place of contempt rather than of hate. Your argument that it endangers trans people does more to show the need for a crackdown on hate crimes than to showcase any inherent failing of the bills.

That said I do oppose the bathroom compliance bills as I consider them to be much ado about nothing and if enacted their sole effect would be to waste government resources to no valid end. Bathroom compliance os irrelevant, regardless of gender and/or sex.

Trump will build a wall

A zombie apocalypse film/story, but with stores instead of people, and about gentrification. Basically there's a seashore resort town and due to a spreading supernatural infection all of the fun quirky stores in this seashore town start turning into realtors and all of the cozy houses start turning into McMansions. Except for the "supernatural infection" part it's based on true events that I've witnessed.
