Material for a story take shape along the way?

Well the easy answer to dealing with his demise would be to do a series of “Young James Bond” prequels showing his early years in the secret service. Recruitment, training, missions during the Cold War etc

Hey, I’m not joking. I got through “War & Peace” on long solo bike rides listening to the audiobook in winter when the weather permitted. Before that, the only way I’d thought get through it would be if I did a stretch in the pen.
Audio is great for long commutes too.

Audiobooks are a great way to pass the time on a long road trip. Now’s your chance to get through “War & Peace.”

The ACA has Obama’s name on it - “Obama Care.” Trump has done everything he can to get it rid of it. He’s obsessed with erasing Barak’s name from history. He’s had years to present an alternative and he’s come up with nada. Relying on him to continue those benefits is beyond naive.

Many believe deferring a vote on releasing the Epstein files is the real reason Mike Johnson hasn’t reconvened the House. No excuse now.

I’m still hoping they won’t get enough votes to pass the bill, but some of the senators on the “yes” list aren’t even running for reelection, so no leverage. They only need a few more votes. Dunno if public outrage will be enough to stymie them. And as usual, Schumer is leading from the rear.

Only has to be about a 1/2 dozen Dems to agree to the vote for the bill to pass. I’m not optimistic they can be stopped. If it passes, the only upside I see is that the House will have to return to business & no way Mike Johnson can further delay swearing in Adelita Grijalva. #Epsteinfiles!

I’ll save potential readers of this article a bit of time by revealing its conclusion.
The answer is “Nope, he’s untradeable.”
Clickbait is clickbait.

He just found out they’ve got a Marxist governor over in Jersey.

Hey, a pathetic win is still a pathetic win.
Super Bowl!🎉🥂🎉

It’s a slow motion train wreck. We have to continue to fight the good fight with all available resources, but we’re fortunate in the malignant incompetence of our enemy that’s on stage every day.

Pop analysis is if SCOTUS rules against Trumps blatant tariff overreach, it’ll be a convenient off ramp so he can abandon an extremely unpopular policy & save face by blaming judges.
Nope. He’s loves tariffs like a goon with a baseball bat. He’ll add SCOTUS to his enemies list. Paranoia strikes deep

Maybe in Hell.

Like David Brooks, Douthat has had a free ride from @NYtimes.com as one of their resident “Both Sides” right wingers. He can print whatever drivel he wants and it goes unchecked to print. OTH progressive Paul Krugman left the paper bc he was told to tone down columns that might offend Conservatives.
