    I’m puzzled by the “like.” He doesn’t even talk that way. Is he attempting some kind of effect? Not irony or humor—he lacks those genes. But what?

    Sometimes in politics it’s difficult to figure out which side will be right in the eyes of history. This is not one of those times.

    Having fallen asleep at 6:30 the previous evening with a half-eaten cheeseburger on his chest, the President awoke early and asked himself, “How can I best ensure that doubts about my mental stability will dominate the day’s news?”

    I’m reading tweets from yesterday pointing out that Trump’s tweets yesterday were dimwitted and unhinged, and suddenly they seem so quaint … Those were the days, eh?

    This is why I'm having trouble finding "very stable genius" as funny as it should be. Republicans will defend this guy into oblivion -- theirs and ours

    Remains incredible to me that today 1) the FBI complied with Trump demands to reopen a closed inquiry into his political opponent and 2) Senate Judiciary chair without informing committee minority demanded criminal referral of a leading Trump critic.

    This is smart on Trump’s criminal world view. Plus “lickspittle” is a good word.

    Trump having interns/staffers go out & buy as many copies of Fire & Fury as they can & then making them "dispose of them." One staffer came back w/ 20+ copies.

    Idea for short story: guy asks his girlfriend to take that omnipresent "I'm not a robot" test and she fails and that's how he learns she's a robot.

    Whether Vicissitudes or Hazards — I can’t wait to read this novel.

    Have changed title "Vicissitudes of Time Travel" to "Hazards of Time Travel" but will always think of the novel w/ the original title in notes going back to 2009. Though will be published during T***p Dark Age, really not at all informed by current politics.

    “Fuck me? No, fuck you.”

    Source close to White House tells me that Bannon was “aware of the fact that WH counsel misled POTUS about his authority to fire Comey” — which was in NYT story last night — and notes that the NYT story appeared after POTUS began attacking Bannon publicly. 🤔

    +1 to this from : "Let's all take a step back here. It is, on its face, remarkable that the president of the USA is in any way trying to stop publication of a book."

    Every member of Congress ought to read this perceptive, persuasive essay: “They know what is wrong with Donald Trump. They know why it’s dangerous... They know. They could act. And they don’t.”
