To be fair, most people not on drugs also think Sessions is horrible.
He's probably not using ketamine.
But, what my screen play supposes is "What if he were?" I call it "A-hole in the K-hole".
I don't know how you tell drugs from dementia from just being a horrible person. I don't really care either.
"Drugs from dementia from just being a horrible person" is the "stupid or evil" debate, updated for 2017.
I pick up bad habits from my children. But it's very hard not to respond to that with "Por que no los dos?"
cuatro, cinco, cinco, seis...
This is how we count in Puerto Rico.
We need to talk about Pickle. Great American or greatest American? Sure, he could probably get close to Trump for a photo op or something, but could he actually seize power? Pickle, you might spell like a drunken kindergartener and you might not exist, but damn it your country needs you.
The problem with a Pickle photo-op is it will be tough to get six Russian agents into a boy costume.
"Data-minded" "lifehacking" Wall Street and Silicon Valley bros like the Mooch use HGH to counter the sad saggings and droopings, physical and mental, of age. The Bulletproof Coffee asshole is a chemistry experiment comparable in extent and self-satisfaction to Bill Romanowski.
I understand nothing in 14, but love it anyway.
12: Because it works. Fairly rampant in Hollywood. Do a Google image search on a well into his 50s Sean Penn.
You can just google the hospital bill of the guy who tried to take the photo.
Transcript of his impromptu call-in to a CNN show where he was being discussed.
It verges on glossolalia.
I should really stop being surprised about how many people watched movies in the 80s and identified with the villains.
SCARAMUCCI: Well, let me push back on that. I didn't study that like Quincy. I wasn't a coroner studying that. Remember the Jack Klugman show?CUOMO: He was a medical examiner, not a coroner, but continue.
SCARAMUCCI: Well, whatever it was. Medical examiner. I wasn't studying it back then. Okay, that's a narrative that I think is a false narrative and I'm going to push back for the President.
16. There are sometimes side effects for new treatments that work. I wonder if these guys are going to Sloan-Kettering or rather some guy that doesn't ask too many questions. I don't know anything about HGH for the middle-aged, maybe it's fine.
I will say that Mooch is one of the first "it's a distraction" things that's actually just a distraction. I mean, all of the (alleged) internal feuds are intentional distractions, but I'm not sure I've seen any of them take up this much oxygen.
Is there an authentic New York type like Scaramucchi? I see him and think he must be parodying a New York type, but overdoing it.
Which probably plays better in the sticks.
Kind of like how in the 60s you could go to jail for being homosexual, but also get rich for being Paul Lynde.
22: Sounds right.
Poor New Yorker fact-checker. "Yes, hello, Mr. Bannon, any comment on Mr. Scaramucci's statement to our publication that you are, quote, 'trying to suck your own cock'?"
We now have our own Malcolm Tucker, except without the competence.
I've just now realized The Mooch isn't Trump.
It's much worse than that: The Mooch is what Trump aspires to be.
"President Scaramucci announced today..."
"Speaking on French television, President Scaramucci said..."
"On the second day of his Middle East visit, US president Anthony Scaramucci met today with the King of Saudi Arabia..."
"President Scaramucci met with Senate leaders last night to discuss the bill..."
Don't mind me. I'm starting now because I think it will take a long time for me to get used to writing it, and I don't want to be caught off guard like I was with the current one.
Right. And you have to count the consonants each time.
I mean, he legitimately is Trump without all the (from a Trump supporter's point of view) bad bits. Trump inherited his wealth and mismanaged it. Scaramucci really did build his own business and make himself extremely wealthy. Trump is old and unhealthy and obese. Scaramucci is twenty years younger (he's 53) and seems to be in decent shape (drugs aside). Trump shies away from face to face confrontation. Scaramucci doesn't. Trump is rambling and incoherent; Scaramucci is comparatively cogent. Trump has all that Russia baggage and a dysfunctional family. Scaramucci is insulated from Russia because three CNN reporters lost their jobs by mistakenly linking him to a Russian bank and now no one else will go near it, and he only has one wife, who he's still married to, and one son, who's still at school.
He's perfect, I'm telling you.
And I don't think he's who Trump aspires to be; he's who Trump now, too late, realises he should have been aspiring to be, instead of trying to become a Manhattan aristo. (He'd never have been able to hack it at Goldman, but still.)
All of which means he is not long for this White House.
Even better. He'll be there long enough to get name recognition and then move to a slot on Fox to avoid the final collapse.
But will he do the fandango, or does he have to Gallicise his name first?
That plan didn't work so well for Röhm.
38: He took it all too seriously, rather than being a-Pauled.

First the Toast and now a new post up at B&T.

Thanks. I hated to ask if I was the only one with no idea.

OT: Academic journal spam is getting shittier. Today I got one with the subject line "Publication without you is merely farce" and a request to submit an article by three days ago.
Anyway, into the mix next: More North Korean missiles.
Fairly entertaining look at the Mooch through his horrible self-help books.
When I was fresh out of college, I dated a guy who thought he had a great sense of humor. What he really had was a Chappelle's Show DVD box set, Family Guy on DVR, and a photographic memory. He didn't have wit, he had quotes from Anchorman, and because his friends were all idiots, they would have entire conversations completely in Will Ferrell's voice, and then they would laugh and laugh.This, minus the laughter, are Scaramucci's books. He is a guy who is acting like how he saw a guy act in a movie about a guy.
Anchorman was a really great movie.
No matter what Sean Spicer was doing with his unemployment this week, it was better than whatever he'd be doing at the White House while Scaramucci was making his phone calls.
Priebus may be similarly grateful soon.
It'll be interesting to see if Trump appoints Priebus ambassador to Greece, as has occasionally been suggested in the rumors of his imminent ouster.
Ugh. I think we should have our eyes on John Kelly, as one of the few who hasn't feuded with Trump, and has overseen the ICE crackdown. If anyone presently in the cabinet could start using federal law enforcement to 100%-arbitrarily lock up enemies, it's probably him. (I know this is probably pretty unlikely, but as a demi-Jew I want to see it coming.)
I think given their relatively modest government salaries vs. the hourly rates of defense lawyers, Spicer and Priebus come out ahead by no being longer parties to things that will require a lot of testimony.
51: Well, as WH COS he won't be directly overseeing law enforcement to the same degree he does as DHS Secretary. A lot depends on who Trump taps to replace him, of course.
No, but he'll be entrusted with a lot more political work.
Best case, he is no better at it than Scaramucci is at handling political journalists.
33: The Mooch isn't a proven bigamist, but the wife leaving him now is his second wife.
The wife who is just leaving him is his Marla Maples.
"Publication without you is merely farce"
This is almost poetic.
56, 60: and she just gave birth to I think their second child, the first of whom was born a few months before their wedding and his first divorce. (Not slut-shaming, just if correcting ajay is now the thing to do thenI sure don't want to miss what may be my only chance.)
On the post title, I remain mystified by people who can find steroids tolerably pleasant. I'm to take one every other day for throat swelling and now 24 hours after the first I think I will soon drift off to sleep to improve on the two restless hours I had in the night. At least these don't make me weepy or furious.
Maybe you'll feel better if you use your bulging muscles to crush things?
The times I've had prednisone for poison ivy or oak, I felt great. Maybe the dosing matters. They gave me a great big bunch on the first days, followed by a tapering dose.
My minor, old man-style joint problems did not bother me and I had more energy.
I do okay with steroid shots. The pills I've had tend to make me sleepless and furious and weepy, though this managed only the first plus queasy. I didn't end up sleeping because my next-door neighbor called to say that my front door was open and what did I want her to do? So I rushed over and no people had gone in but the kitten may have gotten out or may have just been snoozing like his mother and not interested in more food since I've just been leaving it out while at my parents'. (I've come home daily to check mail and water the plants and feed them, and apparently not lock the door yesterday.) I'm kind of inclined to keep the girls here with my parents one more night so I don't stress them about the cat situation, but I'm not sure if I'm making it more dangerous for him if he IS out not to give him a chance to come in sooner. I Amy go over this afternoon to scope things out more. Damnit.
Also Jesus Christ I used the same two adjectives to describe what steroids do to me without even realizing? I would like to think it's medicines and not my true self making me a total idiot.
I don't think you're supposed to feed cats every day. Or maybe that's snakes?
I googled. You are supposed to feed cats every single day. Sorry.
Thanks, Moby. You may not control the weather but I knew I could still count on you.
I also learned that turtle shells don't protect them from fire.
"Because it works. Fairly rampant in Hollywood. Do a Google image search on a well into his 50s Sean Penn."
I would 100% do this if I had the money.
