Will Kash Patel’s libel suit work? None of the Trump & Trump adjacent lawsuits are actually lawsuits. They are ways to extract cash payments with regulatory threats. The lawsuit is a vehicle to capture the money. If the co has no regulatory exposure the suit goes nowhere. NYT, Atlantic are examples.

Trump - "They should feel right at home in a fellow war-torn country"

A Maine air carrier was forced to stop delivering mail today. USPS owes them $388,000 and hasn't paid since March.

Comic: Types of Board Game. [Each panel has a person, a person with a ponytail, a person with shoulder-length hair, and a person with a white hat seated around a table with different board game and pieces on top. (1) Boring: PERSON 3: Each turn, roll a die and move your token. Turns proceed clockwise around the table until we all get tired and go home. (2) Abstract: PERSON 1: Each turn, you can place any number of red triangles or blue squares on a hexagon, or move any hexagon to a... (3) Hyperspecific Theme: PERSON 2: It’s October 2, 1814. The Congress of Vienna convenes. You are each in charge of distributing and lighting candles for the opening ball, which was held at these three locations... (4) Overcomplicated: PERSON 4: It’s a cross between *Twilight Imperium* and *Cones of Dunshhire*, but implemented entirely in category theory. Every cone is a monad, and...

"Can you imagine…a normal sitting U.S. ambassador just hitting up Saudi Grand Prince Mohammed bin Salman for billions of dollars? But he’s a Trump. A royal. A princeling. The rules are for us, not for them."
“What I didn’t know was that measles can cause long-term complications. A child can seem fine while the virus slowly replicates in her brain… Because both Britain and the United States are confronting outbreaks, I am sharing my story. Parents should know just how dangerous this disease is.”

I must say Trump's call to MSNBC this morning does not assuage concerns about his mental faculties...
Z's right; that's not even diplomacy 101, it's more like diplomacy kindergarten
Trump assumes everybody is as corrupt as Trump is
Trump famously focused on preventing waste and corruption...

I think the discussion in Canada is increasingly going to be:
Does Canada have a *Donald Trump* problem or does Canada have a *United States of America* problem?
I was treated to a spectacular bit of gaslighting by Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyer, David Markus, over this post. I have a zero-tolerance policy for both gaslighters and mansplainers—habits that frequently overlap—so I’m sharing some thoughts. Please spread the word. Thanks. youtube.com/shorts/uMb82...
