How times have changed. László Krasznahorkai, 2025 Nobel Laureate for Literature, is reported to have a sentence in one of his works that runs for 300 pages.

So, you're auditioning for a slot on Fox News? Or maybe as the backup for Karoline Leavitt?

I voted for him for President in 1968 -- he was the head of the Peace and Freedom ticket in California, while Stokely Carmichael was the head of the ticket in most of the rest of the country where they were allowed to run.

Agreed. It seems to be related to the "frogs in a pot being brought to a boil" fable that became a meme for the anti-fascist elements among us.
Kind of a literate allusion in-joke, expanded and nicely turned.

Kristi Noem has not been noted for her truthfulness since moving to DC.
One has to wonder how much she believes, versus how much she is presenting because it is what her boss wants to hear.
There is a crucial difference between merely being wrong and deliberately lying.

Maybe because the doctors at Walter Reed are all military and he is their Commander-in-Chief and can order them what to report?
Which begs the question of "why did he have to go to Walter Reed when he has a good clinic available without publicity?

This is the mindset that will cook up the seed corn so that they don't have to miss a meal today.
Prognosis is not good.

Not being a lawyer, I have to wonder how all this is done in the shadow of the Pendleton Act.
Of course, we all know that the fact of their actions being illegal has yet to slow down anyone in this regime.

It has already been noted that in their pursuit of "the worst of the worst" they are careful to avoid the places where the worst actually hang out.

There is always a population who feel that their personal neuroses ought to be treated as laws of the universe.

And other nations have not spent nearly as much on "gifts" to the Trump family.

That sounds like a pretty toxic cultural view.

"All the sincerity in the world can't make you right."
I'm sure that all those swearing people are sincere.

Are we allowed to take this as tacit admission that Dershowitz is in the Epstein files?

American politics has devolved into shitposting and aura farming The Frog is owning the president.

I read this as a cogent observation as to where we are right now.
I guess as a shitposter I should take comfort that I have a chance to score points on the aura farmers, a breed I have come to despise.

"Yeah, that'll happen."

It's going to be pretty hard to prosecute, or even intimidate, any of them, though.

Not merely "allied with." Not all depictions of the AntiChrist are unitary.
Thiel seems to be of the camp who feel that if you are not allied with them you are the AntiChrist.

Didn't one of the shadow docket rulings give him expanded power to fire anyone in the Executive branch?

And with gold at $4,000/ounce, you can guess how much actual gold is in that 100-page booklet.
But it does look pretty when properly applied to things.

Actually, there is a little occasional violence. According to the Police Bureau, though, a good portion of it is started by ICE.

But they are absolutely sure of the forgiveness.
In the first cycle of Rapture-mania they even had a bumper sticker about it: "Christians aren't perfect, just forgiven."

Unfortunately, that is the way what they call science works for them. "Alternate facts" was not a one-time aberration.

Most of what I have seen looks like good-quality gold leaf on plaster (or, nowadays, urethane foam.)
It has to be 24-karat gold, because anything less than that can't be beaten down to leaf.
So, yes, highest-quality gold, but completely superficial. Seems appropriate -- the superficial part.

So you're expecting it to be the longest one of the day?

But, "Don't call us, we'll call you"?

Malfeasance in office, corruption, yes. Probably several other crimes, too.
But treason is a crime with a very narrowly defined meaning and it is unlikely that it could be made to stick.
It's cathartic to throw the word around, but if you are serious about legal proceedings, speak carefully.

NMR spectrometer?

The way Christian Nationalism is overwhelming our democracy is just proof the Gresham's Law applies to a lot more than coinage.

The GOP Congress who stands by and watches and applauds.
