He'll be able to tout the state's record unemployment, on account of all the dead people.

Naomi Klein just wrote a book about Naomi Wolf, and it talks about the mirror world and all this is so bat shit nuts. People are so easily grifted out of their money and their trust.

"The most ironic thing is with the settlement that I did receive [20 million pounds from his father's estate since John only gave him 100K in his will], is that I’ve been buying his stuff back with that, so, I’m buying his stuff back with his money, which is absolutely insane.”

Secretly posted on Twitter that he did this because who is going to hold him accountable?

He's the richest man in the world. He could buy his own fucking island and never be arrested. Can one country shut down Twitter, Tesla, or SpaceX?

He controls 10K satellites, the electric car charging infrastructure, and a massive global communications platform. He's too big to control. Good thing we hero-worshipped him for years. 🫢 🤭

Candidate Trump needs to be belligerent and defiant. Defendant Trump needs to STFU.

The problem is those two things are in competition. So he has to say, Russia, Russia, Russia as candidate Trump, but that isn't a relevant or useful argument for defendant Trump. He has to say, "I'm allowed to do this thing" as candidate Trump, but as defendant Trump, I'm allowed to break the law is not a defense.

His only hope is to delay. If he goes to trial on anything, defendant Trump loses. If he can hold out, then candidate Trump will win.

This is his bet. He wins and it all goes away and the US is ruled by a guy who believes he can get away with anything.

Canada has many parties but is about to become a right-wing nightmare.

This isn't a party problem, it is a comms problem. The right feels like it must stop progress for human rights in any way possible. Lying, cheating, whatever. And in many places, the right is funded by rich people who want less taxes and regulations.

In Canada, it is tar sands oil. Since tax cuts and let's screw up the planet are not popular, you need a wedge issue. Here's Trump marveling at how a wedge issue is spread:

"It's amazing how strongly people feel about that. You see, I'm talking about cutting taxes, people go like that," Donald Trump said while making a muted applause gesture. "I talk about transgender, everyone goes crazy. Who would have thought? Five years ago, you didn't know what the hell it was."

 

Light brown

 

He fell into a well, actually

 

Turns out, I had my phone in Airplane! mode.

 

and I yelled no way.

 

I guess this is politics. This is happening in red states. Schools are getting worse because they can.

 

and yell Aye Matey to every passerby.

 

I beg your pardon, the person said to Trump.

No, this one is a state indictment, Trump sighed.

 

Medium rare

 

Clarence Thomas did the things. He took $$ and didn't report it. Now he's claiming the victim.

Trump did the things. He probably did more than just the things.

When Nixon was caught doing the thing, a bunch of his aides were like, you know what we need? Not a party of people who don't do the thing, a network to defend them when they do the things.

They were open about that. This is not a secret. Or a conspiracy. This is the open goal.

 

A look at why they are not illegal and we should all relax and let the process work itself out.
