Crow: "It just tells us everything that we need to know that reminding people to obey the law, reminding people to obey the Constitution, is somehow criminal in Trumpworld and should be responded to with death threats. It's very, very telling."

The Long Tail
Sometimes books fade away and sometimes they have long tails where they’re written about long after they’ve been published.

If you hadn't read Shelley's Frankenstein, I guess it's possible you might like Del Toro's heavy-handed, cartoonish adaptation, but if you have read it, I'd have to think you'd find the movie utter crap.

The GOP's breathtaking hypocrisy is on full display today when they released a report that all of Biden's executive orders and pardons should be voided because an autopen was used and Biden had no idea of any of it.

We need more of this, and from more people. Rolling your eyes as if to say "We all know how they are" (or worse, "Don't get distracted") has been a big strategic mistake. Democratic politicians have to meet the brutality of MAGA rhetoric with outrage--and then, when necessary, match it.
Jeffries: "You've got Leavitt, who's sick, she's out of control. I'm not sure if she's just demented, ignorant, a stone cold liar, or all of the above.

At the core of my thriller Trust Nothing (release date Nov. 12th), there's a conspiracy to use an advanced technology to put an unfit demagogue as president. As it turns out, low-tech (social media) with a shameless huckster was all that was needed. www.amazon.com/dp/B0FTRQZF5K

You're setting the bar awfully low there, Bill. I guess when you have a party of extremists and performative grifters, it's tempting to grab onto a anything, but Kilmeade waiting 4 days to issue his apology (most likely to save his job) deserves only contempt.
