Monday Night

Rock on.

Oh No

Happy Hour

 Get happy.

Famine

Regular reminder that Gaza is only get worse, and I don't know whether you want to think the people in charge are so stupid that they didn't understand this all along, or so evil that they didn't care.

Wriggling Out Of This One

We all know that when the State (in this case, the state of New York) comes after your money they can certainly do it. It's fun having fantasies about Trump's jet being impounded and Trump Tower being renamed to Carroll Tower, but it's really hard to actually see any of it happening!

The resistance to making rich people suffer the consequences of anything is great! Even the very few and very obviously guilty ones who have faced some have had numerous people in their social class writing pleas for leniency in all of our elite periodicals.

We will see!!!

Don't See How...

We'll see!
Former President Donald Trump has not been able to get a bond to secure the $464 million fraud judgment against him, his lawyers said in a court filing Monday.

...

Trump and his company need to post a bond for the full amount by next week in order to stop New York Attorney General Letitia James from being able to collect while he appeals. They've asked an appeals court to step in in the meantime and said Monday that they have not had any success getting a bond.

Are We Doing This Again

There's no need to give Trump the "benefit of the doubt" when he says something horrible and try to clean it up. In fact, Kurtz (I hate having to hand it to him) shows it's pretty easy to just ask him what he meant.

The Balls On These People

I admit that if I were the governor of a state, it would never occur to me to try to push my spouse into a Senate seat like Murphy is doing in New Jersey.

That is why I will never earn the big bucks.

Sunday Happy Hour

Entertain each other

Afternoon

Having some Sunday fun.

Inside The RFK Campaign

More observation than criticism here: there are journalists whose beat is the Kennedy campaign and because of that they keep him in the news, which of course increases his poll numbers (some at least) 

"Free media" - whether journalists pay attention to you just because - is crucial to any such campaign.  Who makes those decisions and why?

I know - objectivity!



Some NYT Reporters Are Not People

Just being caustic.

Ah, Well, Nevertheless

It doesn't even matter if it was true, really, but Israel's desire to destroy UNRWA was obvious.
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union's top humanitarian aid official said on Thursday he had seen no evidence from Israel to back its accusations against staff from the U.N. Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA), which should continue playing a "critical" role in Gaza.

Con Man Knows The Easiest Con

If he'd done this he'd be free.
Sam Bankman-Fried came up with a lot of ideas to rehabilitate his image and launch a new crypto exchange after FTX went into bankruptcy.

Bankman-Fried thought he might “Go on Tucker Carlson, come out as a republican;” “Come out against the woke agenda;” tell people the team running his bankrupt former company “has no idea how to run FTX;” tell people he’s “really glad” the bankruptcy team stepped in and “they’re great.”
