This is what happens when there is no central creative authority, no director.

The Trumps are directing this craptacular. A director would have thrown up his hands and said, "We can't run this piece of shit. She's coked to the gills. You'll be laughingstocks. We'll never live this down."

I believe this because they have been laying the groundwork for this since that very first "Anonymous" op-ed in the NYT.

Two unknowns: Will either or both Dan Coats and Kirstjen Nielsen be part of this group? AND WHAT ABOUT JOHN KELLY?

Three: Who is the "currently working" member?

August 24, 2020

I think he's the figurehead for Anonymous, and that

there's a group (mostly DHS) coming forward. They may finally claim responsibility.

Or maybe John Kelly breaking his quasi-silence? (Kelly was tight with Kirstjen Nielsen, who Taylor worked directly under).

History means nothing to the Trumps. What do you expect from the wife of a

man who had to ask a tour guide what happened at Pearl Harbor to make it so famous?

Prediction about Don Jr.'s future:

The Trumps buy a controlling interest in OAN Network and Don Jr. becomes an on-air personality.

He has no work ethic. He lacks the discipline to run for political office. Also, guys like Steve Schmidt will destroy him right out of the gates.

If/when Trump loses, there is going to be a war for control of the Republican party.

It's totally wrong.

There's a great account of this fiasco in A Very Stable Genius. Even John Kelly thought the idea of Jared having a TSC was ridiculous. He had too much debt and kept lying about his foreign contacts. He was too friendly with Saudi Arabia. Foreign deputies from a half dozen countries were caught on tape by our intelligence agencies laughing about how naive and manipulable Kushner is. He is easy to compromise, and IMO he's one of the two people in this administration most likely to go to prison (the other being William Barr).

Winslow has been promising stuff for a long time.

I kind of wish he'd get rolling. I was starting to worry we might get Avenatti'd.

He also promised to drop a bomb on Lindsey Graham (figuratively, of course).

Just one look at the renovated Rose Garden...

Tearing out Jackie Kennedy's trees. Don Jr.'s hunting expeditions. Ivanka's coffin patents. These people are trash.

I was told this is true by a woman at Walmart who was a Trumper

It's a long story, but we agreed to disagree but liked each other before we knew we had totally opposite opinions on politics, so we went back to talking about other things. It turned out she was the granddaughter of a farmer and grew up on a farm. She said that the male peppers make for better eating raw. Her grandfather taught her this. You could tell that this was the most important relationship in her life and that she misses him.
