But...but...tRump is a super smart rich guy and will run America like one of his unbelievably successful businesses! Honestly, is there one person in this country who still falls for that?

I have this vague feeling that things are gonna be really fucked up. Maybe it's just a bit of indigestion, I certainly hope so.

But, I gotta say, that this is even close confirms for me all the shitty opinions I've had over the years about so many of my fellow countrymen. Mostly, they're just not paying attention. That's my shitty opinion of them, they're not paying attention FOR GOD'S SAKE!!! And you know, I don't think well of people who don't pay attention, so that's on me.

Pray the Goddess makes some motherfuckers pay attention by early November.

"The only time I ever paid any real attention to the value of the dollar was when I taught at Osaka University and was paid in yen. I’d try to wait for dips in the dollar’s value before converting my money to dollars and depositing it back in my credit union back in the US."

I was in Indonesia in, I think it was 1999, when their economy was tanking.

We'd cash in U.S. dollar-denominated traveler's checks (remember those? LOL) for only as much Rupiah as we'd need for the day, because each day we'd get like twice as much as the day before. I remember the guy at the exchange place saying "Good for you. Not so good for me!"

I felt bad.

paul is home from work. It's time for me to turn this device off and go kick back in the recliner in the living room so that I can visit with him while he fools around on a device of his own.

I'll be back around 5:30 am tomorrow morning generally making a menace of myself.

God, Jost just made a solid joke about Lara Trump and her terrible cover of "Won't Back Down," and the Vichy press didn't laugh.

Colin Jost said something about how he reported the fake news, like some in the audience. He said something about all the incredible journalists, and even some credible journalists.

Gee, Fox News, who do you think he's talking about?

BURN! Jost just said "Murdoch stepped down from Fox News. I didn't realize it was possible to take a step down from Fox."

Remember Rahm Emanuel? He was Obama's first WH chief of staff, and one of the biggest disappointments of the 2010s. He was supposed to be a tough-guy fixer who got things done, but all he did was pointlessly antagonize people, until he was forced out. Then he served two terms as mayor of Chicago, antagonizing even more people, especially with massive school closings. He only won a second term because he managed to sit on the video of Laquan McDonald getting massacred by the cops until after the election.

IOW, he was kind of a Chicago version of the Cuomo brothers.

Now we find out that David Pecker caught and killed a dip-your-wick-where-it-doesn't-belong story for Emanuel.

Figures.
