This isn’t a surprise. I expect that Hunter will see the inside of a jail cell for his crimes of filling out one form wrong and paying his taxes late long before Trump will. After all, Trump just tried to stage a coup and stole nuclear secrets so the punishment must fit the crime. For the first time ever in history, the right is applauding someone being found guilty on federal gun charges of failing to properly fill out a form. Normally they have a hard time applauding the conviction of mass murderers if they used a precious AR-15 to do it. Nonetheless, they are absolutely convinced that it’s all for Biden’s benefit because it makes him look good: They are also a little bit bewildered that the leader of the Biden Crime Family allowed this to happen. They assumed that he would get off: That fine fellow is on the short list for Attorney General in a new Trump administration. I heard something this morning that I’ve missed before. Apparently, one of the reasons the plea agreement fell apart last year was because they wanted the judge to supervise his parole and she refused.
There is NOTHING like The Grind, my guy. Nothing like having my boiz line up outside the conference room, tapping our sensitive little balls over The Big Merger, making eye contact with The Big Boss as he gives me a slow nod from his office. Nothing like laughing at the betas who don’t have what it takes to climb their way to the top. Nothing like knowing some of these fuckos are driving home in a Mustang while I’m getting my balls drained in a Bugatti. Nothing like making enough money to carelessly buy a boat. Nothing like naming her Money Never Sleeps, never using her, not even once. Nothing like calling my dad and getting his voicemail, whispering, “I did it, Dad, I did it,” to an almost full mailbox.

I read North Woods over the last week or so, and I really liked it. It’s a generational novel covering European settlement in an area of western Massachusetts from sometime in the late 1600s going forward a few centuries into the future. That sounds like it would be kind of superficial, but the stories of … Continue reading North Woods
If only … I doubt it will happen, unfortunately. I wish these two were moderating instead of Tapper and Bash.

It’s never a good bet Well, this is eye-catching from Jeet Heer: “In other words, a significant portion of America’s economic elite are either autocrats, cowards, or so single-mindedly rapacious that they are indifferent to the survival of democracy.” Heer begins: While Donald Trump’s felony conviction for falsifying business documents is hurting him with independent voters, it has only increased his popularity with a demographic cohort that is much smaller in number—but still has an outsize role to play in election outcomes: the super-rich. Axios reports that a Morning Consult poll shows that 49 percent of independent voters think Trump should drop out of the presidential race because he is a felon. This strong negative result is already in evidence in polls showing that Trump’s persistent lead over rival Joe Biden has shrunk and the presidential race is now dead even.

A few days ago, my partner and I went in search of packing tape. Our sojourn on an idyllic (if tick-infested) Cape Cod island was ending and it was time to ship some stuff home. We stopped at a little odds-and-ends shop and found ourselves in conversation with the woman behind the counter. She was born in Panama, where her father had served as chief engineer operating tugboats in the Panama Canal. As a child, she remembered celebrating her birthday with a trip on a tug from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans, sailing under an arch of water produced by fireboats on either side. “But that all ended,” she said, “with the invasion. It was terrifying. They were bombing... Read more

Momma always said feral is as feral does Yes, it’s true that just over a third of Republicans are unaware that their party’s nominee has been indicted for conspiring to overturn the 2020 election. But that says more about them than it does about Joe Biden’s and Democrats’ prospects for November. Even most of the third-plus that are aware of Trump’s indictments will vote for him anyway. It’s the slow bleeding of support that’s begun that will doom Trump’s reelection. Why do you think he’s working more systematically than ever to prepare his minions for overturning democracy and instituting authoritarian rule when he loses in 2024? He doesn’t need a majority to do it, just general American complacency and numbness to his nuttiness. Yes, Trump rants like someone you’d cross the street to avoid. But it’s not the unwell, conscious parts of his brain plotting authoritarian rule. That’s his feral instincts at work, the ones that have kept him out of jail into his late seventies.
The Prime Minister accused Keir Starmer of wanting to "change the rules so they're in power for a very long time", despite the Conservatives making a long list of changes to elections designed to keep them in office

Princess Rhaenyra screams for ten uninterrupted minutes. The Maester rushes in.
MAESTER: Princess Rhaenyra, forgive me for interrupting your painful childbirth, but your dragon has gone into labor!
PRINCESS RHAENYRA: I didn’t even know she was pregnant! I mean, she put on a few pounds, but I sure as hell wasn’t going to say anything…
Princess goes back to screaming. A raven arrives through the open window with a message.
MAESTER: A note from the dragon pit, Your Highness. The delivery is—how to say this?— NOT GOING WELL.
Cut to ten minutes of dragon-screaming. Dragon doulas run around in a frenzy.
