Ten-year-old nabisco offTM:

Here's something funny: when I was ten years old I had a vague admiration for Donald Trump and Lee Iacocca (both very feted at the time) and a downright intense love of Alex P. Keaton from Family Ties, who I didn't understand to be something of a joke. As such, despite having really liked Mondale -- having a woman as a running mate impressed me, probably because of the mother/father dynamic of it -- I was convinced that I wanted to be a Republican and a businessman or lawyer of some sort. In fact, I started a "company" with my friends Brian and Jeff -- we made board games, and hired Tony, the best breakdancer I have ever known, to do the art -- and I was constantly attempting to read the law and economics books in my father's library. Everyone seemed to think this was "cute," though I sort of wish someone had just explained politics to me. In either case, I got over it quickly and went back to wanting to be a writer.

What you lookin' at?
You all a bunch of fuckin' assholes. You know why? You don't have the guts to be what you wanna be?
You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say,
"That's the bad guy.
" So... what that make you? Good? You're not good.
You just know how to hide, how to lie. Me, I don't have that problem. Me, I always tell the truth. Even when I lie.
So say good night to the bad guy!
Come on. The last time you gonna see a bad guy like this again, let me tell you.
Come on. Make way for the bad guy. There's a bad guy comin' through! Better get outta his way!

You certainly don't, pal, 'cause the good news is - you're fired. The bad news is - you've got, all of you've got just one week to regain your jobs starting with tonight. Starting with tonight's sit. Oh? Have I got your attention now? Good. 'Cause we're adding a little something to this month's sales contest. As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anyone wanna see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired. Get the picture? You laughing now? You got leads. Mitch and Murray paid good money, get their names to sell them; you can't close the leads you're given, you can't close shit. You ARE shit! Hit the bricks, pal, and beat it 'cause you are going OUT!

Trump lingered last in line for brains
And the one he got was sorta rotten and insane
Small hands (so sad!), a rust-hued clown
Is Trump fast asleep or rockin' out with Three Doors Down?

Part of my problem is that I have to do a lot of things myself. It takes so much time. Julio Iglesias is coming to Mar-a-Lago, but I have to call Julio, I have to have lunch with Julio. I have Pavarotti coming. Pavarotti doesn’t perform for anybody. He’s the highest-paid performer in the world. A million dollars a performance. The hardest guy to get. If I call him, he’ll do it—for a huge amount less. Why? Because they like me, they respect me, I don’t know.

McEntee would be the most central person to implement Schedule F & hire Trump loyalists across all government agencies in a second term.

apparently he owed 50 different trump university vendors and they all took the 20% except for two of them. what happened to the two? they went away. classy.

Pence and Vance sort of rhyme, lend themselves to similar puns etc.

danger: stream of consciousness bullshit ahead—

to most entities the burden of litigation arbitration or negotiation is distracting, burdensome, and/or annoying enough to result in improved business models. trump by fame bluster and shamelessness, and the correct selection of markets and of trading victims, turned it into a variably successful series of grifts. he was bankrupt several times. eventually he moved mainly into selling his name. and then to politics, which has the lowest possible level of guaranty of performance. there’s still RE, but i sorta expect its legacy/vestigial? dunno, i could be wrong there. have assumed a while that without political trump, both the trademark trump and the RE trump collapse.

anyway politics has a lotta visibility but you can lie nearly without limit. it’s been a steady descent of standards for him, and a continual increase in public exposure and really, also an increase in the stakes for everyone.

he has mastered the double down, so we get to either: the system effectively collapses, or he is imprisoned (or eliminated).

you read that new yorker article and you really do end up blaming that t.v. producer. trump was on the outs. he had no money. nobody wanted his fucking steaks. and that guy threw him a lifeline. all of a sudden he was hugely famous in a way he hadn't been with his books and new york/casino fame. he was famous famous. sucks so bad. just a simple twist of fate.

I don't see how Vance helps Trump as his VP at all. The only worse Veep pick would be Laura Loomer.

he only cares about loyalty. he wants someone to go do his bidding. if vance convinces him he's that guy then he's in.

scott seward, Monday, 13 May 2024 17:37 (yesterday) link

Vance did win a senate seat in Ohio, so he could conceivably help to solidify those 17 electoral college votes for Trump. Vance may be transparently awful in our eyes, but to anyone capable of voting for Trump, he's entirely acceptable. Appealing, even.
