Oh sure Elon musk, Peter Thiel, Jeff Bezoa and Mark Z could buy and sell me or destroy my life with their internet influence and wealth but I challenge any of you taints to meet me in any dive bar in America and will see who leaves distraught on every level

My free advice to all Democratic politicians running for office: stop saying Trump. Say this president, this man in the White House, this administration, this jackass anything but his name. Stop giving him air. That will slow down the cries of TDS and also drive him crazy

I must say Bill Maher is just plain embarrassing for my generation. Is there ever a worst example of someone who took advantage of socially liberal viewpoints to suck up a hedonistic lifestyle with a Playboy mansion hobnobbery and has now turned into the bitter angry old man who knows everything.

I understand the desire to read an Agatha Christie mystery in a highland cottage… I’d settle for an Ian Rankin book in The Oxford Bar on a drizzly Edinburgh afternoon with the crusty regulars irritated at this Yank who insists on tipping the bartender

I’ve long been a fan of the ol’ Irish Day Spa. A quiet drink or three in the afternoon with a friend, or a clutch of ‘em, is the best kind of drinking. It’s all the sweeter because everyone else is at work. Cheers, Wayne! thelongbar.substack.com/p/a-field-gu...

What you are seeing from Trump today was his lizard brain survival instinct creating a new route. He will abandon his MAGA in an attempt to recapture popularity by suddenly being reasonable and warming up to progressive economic theories. Probably in part by watching MTGs rebirth. take the $ and run
