I watched some of this press conference. I didn’t see Trump as completely out of it. But he did seem tired. He said the same exact shit but with no energy or conviction.

Trump is committing the cardinal sin of television coverage. He’s boring.

    Trump is really worried about losing the incel vote now that he found out that even the incels hate JD Vance. Vance may be one of them in spirit, but they smell wannabe Nazi all over him.

    Trump needs to reinforce his Nazi bona fides. That’s way more important than campaigning in swing states, and Trump is very smart. The smartest!

    And he didn’t just protect one kid. The football coach, the manliest man in the entire school, was the faculty sponsor for the Gay Straight Alliance club that welcomed everyone. In the 1990s.

    Former CIA officer and U.S. Treasury special agent John Cassara spent much of his 26-year career investigating transnational money laundering. He said there is a self-defeating logic to the DEA targeting the drugs and the people that supply them rather than the financial networks.

    ”It’s easier to go after the product and it’s easier to go after the people than to go after the money,” said Cassara, who retired in 2006. “But that’s a huge mistake.”

    Forget the money that fuels the drug trade and funds Chinese espionage. We have street-level dealers to put in jail for decades.

    Testimony from an insider co-defendant is a game changer. I doubt we’re lucky enough that Trump personally led the effort, but I wonder about Rudy’s involvement. Who knows what others?

    A new front of criminal liability just opened up. Maybe it’s time to reconsider loyalty versus personal freedom.

    I think I dated one of those in college. So much fun, but so very toxic. It’s like a siren’s song. Alluring and exciting right up until you crash into the rocks.

    I've never had a Facebook account or any other social media. I know they keep shadow profiles, but I've never given permission. I never had any interest and frankly still don't.

    The problem I'm having is that I don't exist online when people try to look me up. When someone tries to check me out, there's nothing there and apparently that's considered abnormal these days. I think it's starting to affect my life negatively for various reasons I'd rather not get into.

    I'd just like some advice about where to start if you wanted to dip your toes in and check it out. LinkedIn, maybe?
