Overstock.com founder Patrick Byrne became one of the strangest characters of the last days of the Trump administration, visiting the White House in December, dressed in jeans and a hoodie, scarfing down meatballs, and bickering with Trumps legal team and administration officials, as he, Flynn, and Powell together pitched the then-president on their democracy-thwarting schemes. But now, with Trumps dream of overturning the 2020 election in tatters, Byrne appears to be doing comparatively okayand is blaming just about everyone else for President Bidens win, turning his blog into the digital burn book of the Trump post-campaign. Almost every evening, and many early afternoons, Rudy was shit-faced, Byrne blogged recently. That, and his podcasts, were the only guarantees in Rudys life. (Byrne declined to comment on this story, saying he wanted to finish his blog series first.)

I have told my husband many times over the past few months that Rudy must be an alcoholic. When he was in the Michigan hearing, it felt particularly clear to me.

Okay, I made that up. They should though.

I think he's a maintenance drinker ie starts early and drinks at a pace throughout the course of the day and goes til he passes out or runs out. Some days he end up shitty by mid to late afternoon, but always well liquored by night.
