No one should need "coaching" on how to deal with Donald Trump.
As capricious as he is -- and as ve
A veridical take on the inaneness of Trump. 🙂
It took me about 15 tiny revisions to the original version of this article to smooth out the repetitiveness vis-a-vis words like “Trump,” “call” and “later.” That’s a testament to the inanity. If you re-read it, it’s a little less grating in that regard now, but it’s still impossible to tell this story in a way that doesn’t come across as maddeningly recursive.
Well done.

Trump like to micromanage things, taking all the credit if it goes well, but placing blame on underlings when it all falls apart. But to be in his cabinet, any president’s cabinet, will further your career and sell more of your books. I can imagine how these people feel, kind of scummy.
I wonder if Zelensky has any V2 Rocket-like cards he might play (or threaten in a desperation scenario)…what they might be…and if he’d be inclined to defy the Trump-Putin Chamberlain play and go all the way with a last full measure of defiance in resisting, for preservation of Ukranian sovereignty.
Need to send Zelensky one of these (and maybe a few neutron bomb-carrying drones)?

Where’s little Marco? Putting his knickers on.
There’s rumors of a Netflix series on the Trump Administration. First hurdle is to get Bernie Madoff a pardon so he can play Trump. Then AI will be used to generate the Three Stooges as Rubio, Hegseth and Vance. There’s talk of having an UFC tournament on the White House Lawn in the pilot, but apparently only if Don Jr and Eric get 15 minutes to pitch the crypto scheme of their choosing during the broadcast. Pay per view is being considered, but only Melania coins will be accepted. What better way to memorialize the moment the US lost it’s direction, moral high ground and any signs of sanity.
Forget what I really wanted to write; jejunity, that’s a new one for me and I love it. Will try to use it in a sentence 3 times today.
I thought this was a reference to Semi-Pro and getting punched in the jejunum.
The poker scene in Semi-Pro remains, to me anyway, one of the funniest four-minute comedic displays in modern film. I mean, it’s not Bill Murray / Steve Martin / Richard Pryor genius, but as far as post-2000 cornball comedy goes, that scene is about as good as it gets.
The US proposal made my stomach turn. I put Warren Zevon’s “Disorder in the House” on replay. Didn’t help.
