They tell me giving away your writing for free is a "best business practice" in selling books. This is from Frogmarch Of The Oligarchs. You can check out After The Great Redo here: www.amazon.com/dp/B0GYXTBZCL And here: www.booksamillion.com/p/After-Grea...
There was a long pause after the Oval Office pleasantries and I placed my thumb on the screen to scroll away from this terribly disappointing and totall predictable scene. Something kept me watching though. The president had a certain look. I recall a closed-mouth smile and what seemed to be head nods to someone out of frame. Then the president stood up and said, “Now that we have you here, we’d like to remind you of our promise to the American people. I told them I would hold accountable those who had committed crimes against the nation, and that’s exactly what I intend to do.”
She nodded again and three secret service agents, one for each oligarch, strutted into frame and asked the men to stand. They did as they were told, and the secret service guys gently handcuffed them. “That promise starts today,” the president said. She wasn’t smiling anymore. “Right now.”
I dropped my beer. It fell to the floor and the glass splintered into a hundred pieces. Everyone looked up from their phones and I jumped off my barstool and without even thinking shouted for the bartender to turn on the news. She did, and there for everyone to see were three of the most powerful men alive being frogmarched out of the Oval Office. They didn’t look angry as much as they looked bewildered, as if they were unsure whether this was really happening. You could see how stunned they were despite all the fucked-up facial surgeries that kept them frozen in time.

Media Outlets Don't Understand This Political Environment
The idea that control of the House is going to come down to one or two seats is absurd.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

People like this call it doomerism when you just plainly say what is already happening. They would rather be in denial about what is going on. It makes them feel better about the situation.

Also, he notably says nothing about WHAT he wants to get done. Because some people might disagree with that thing. Better to stand for nothing!

Trump fans aren’t ever going to vote differently. If Trump punched them in the fact, they’d blame Democrats. It’s not about getting Trump fans to change. It’s about getting the few actual swing voters to change and more importantly getting Democratic voters to turn out.

I’ll just say I have some insight on one specific AmLaw 100 firm and how they’re already setting the table with employees on their justification for getting rid of their own DEI policies when the regime targets them. I suspect all firms will use the same justification for themselves.

The current party leadership are already grifters only interested in their own power. That’s why they won’t ever risk that power to take a stand for anything.
