Claude says: Mickey Spillane (1918–2006) was an American author best known for creating hard-boiled detective Mike Hammer, starting with I, the Jury (1947). His pulpy, violent, fast-paced crime novels were hugely popular commercially, though often dismissed critically, and he became one of the best-selling authors of the 20th century.
I haven't been able to read it, but it sounds like only part of the first crime is rescinded and Todd can create a new crime effective tomorrow if he's in the mood. Doesn't even have to wait until the final Senate vote.
I'm beginning to see why Trump wants rocket launchers on the roof of the ballroom. Some of this shit is really annoying.
Fine print shows Blanche tried to ‘sneak through’ overnight ‘scam’ to shield Trump
Ben Meiselas, another founder of MeidasTouch, argued that the language of Blanche’s notice not only preserved Trump’s IRS immunity, but may not even officially terminate the $1.7 billion fund.
“This is also not signed by all the parties which is required to rescind under the terms of the original agreement, para. 8,” Meiselas wrote. “This is an unenforceable sham document.”
Okay. I think I'm done with news this week. I feel bad that it took less than a day, but I simply CAN-NOT deal with this shit, or I will lose every bit of progress I've made on my mental and emotional health and stability since 2022.
I feel like I'm losing my grip on reality. NONE of this could possibly be happening, it's all too stupid, I don't know what IS happening but none of this real, none of you are real, no one else even EXISTS, and this is just some... some kind of simulation or hallucination or thought experiment or I'm being tortured for something I probably deserved to be tortured like this for, I don't know, but this is the kind of "losing my grip on sanity" stream of consciousness delusional paranoia that I'm talking about up there.
I have to keep believing this is real, because if it's not than nothing I do has consequences other than those I create, and I'm no doctor, but I kinda feel like THAT... is a very bad mental health thingy.
Aside from the fact that whatever garbage word salad Todd "issued" last night is utterly meaningless (the "party", Trump would need to sign off on it and he hasn't), legally or otherwise, and will be brought back just as soon as he's confirmed, there is still the thorn in their side - the FL case.
The Demented Orange Traitor WANTS this fund (who knows how much will end up in his pocket) and his personal lawyers are trying to put the brakes on the FL judge calling this "settlement" bogus. And the DOJ/IRS aren't fighting the personal lawyers. It's up to the amici in the case to do so.
Well this clears the deck for the slush fund that will need to be instituted when the insurrectionists storm the Capitol in 2027 bitching about the midterm elections.
Donald Trump is speaking at an executive order signing at the White House, where he was asked where direct talks with Iran would take place.
“You’ll find out today or tomorrow,” he said. “They’re going to go quickly one way or the other. It’s not very complex.”
Trump said the strait of Hormuz could be open “literally by tomorrow”.
“The first phase is the opening of the straits. The second phase will be the denuclearisation,” he said. “That’ll take a little while, but … we’re very strong on it.”
I am going to tell everyone now that I'm NOT a recovering alcoholic, they just revoked my bar license.
He says the slush fund is dead. I want proof.
"Trump has long been on a crusade to punish banks for “debanking” conservatives" but then he discovered cryptocurrency and how it could be used to launder bribes.
Impeachment should be "for any or no reason".
Yeah, not dead. They'll lie and say anything to get Blanche in.
>>If Democrats are in the majority, it will hopefully be much more hostile.<<
Sadly, they will likely stick to sending sternly worded letters to a president who can't read.
Sorry before I forget, AI doesn't know who Mickey Spillane was. It calls him 'Mickey Spain.'
Tech Bros too young. Soon, everything after 2000 will just disappear.
What AI was that?

I don't know, some writer's AI that mentioned a book in a drama about old people.
Obviously the writer was not an old person, and didn't catch it during proofreading.
IF they proofread it at all. I know search thingies have him.
OT.
Baconz likes a lot of music (except for country, opera, and a large segment of "Pop").
I love Riot Grrl. Here is a song for all the "cool chicks" (no offense to ladies. in my universe it is the same as an "awesome dude")
Here is a heavyweight band that kicks it hard.
Judge for yourself. I would rather watch this band than Metallica.

I misspells shit. It's often assumed intentional and I get a pass cause me clever.
No, I just misspell shit.
Perfect. Now do shinola...
'Shit' is absolutely spelled S-H-I-T. You nailed it.

Nothing is enforceable with Dear Leader in office. He ripped up the agreement we had with Iran because the guy who worked it out was Black.
It's my understanding that if it's not signed by Trump it's not valid. So it's just another cheap lie.
sigh....
look, everywonk! republicans are desecrating the rotted corpse of language again! hao can they not expect the obvious and pending suckerpunch*??
good thing yrrrr
smoking lamp is lit
(grumblegrumblegrumble)
[audio adventurers will seek out the earworm that is Sigrid, singing the song 'suckerpunch,' from about ten years back]
That's not 𝘢𝘭𝘭 they're desecrating...

He will declare himself most aggrieved and take what he can for himself.
Bet on it.

OT, but in this week's episode of SURE, JAN:
Strait of Hormuz could open 'by tomorrow': Trump
Donald Trump is speaking at an executive order signing at the White House, where he was asked where direct talks with Iran would take place.
“You’ll find out today or tomorrow,” he said. “They’re going to go quickly one way or the other. It’s not very complex.”
Trump said the strait of Hormuz could be open “literally by tomorrow”.
“The first phase is the opening of the straits. The second phase will be the denuclearisation,” he said. “That’ll take a little while, but … we’re very strong on it.”

top story on my phone's very not-curated news feed:
Iran says no talks are happening re straits of Hormuz
“Strait of Hormuz could open 'by tomorrow': Trump”
And a meteor could hit the White House tomorrow, but I’m not getting my hopes up.
That's why they need that ballroom!
Liar liar, plants for hire.
Sure, Jan.
