I'm in the midst of rereading "London Fields" by Martin Amis (1989) where these three paragraphs just showed up on page 366...

"For some time now I have thought it possible to believe that America was going insane. In her own way. And why not? .... "

I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

Fetterman joined nearly every Republican senator in voting against a resolution that would have required the Trump administration to produce an unclassified report on Israeli abuses in the illegally occupied West Bank, including the imprisonment and killing of Palestinian Americans.

I’ve been wondering whether this was less about the shock of watching Schmitt get pantsed than it was about realizing that you’re the next Republican questioner, and your script was based on following up this accusation, and now you have nothing.

Ask any person from any nation on Earth to use a single adjective to describe the United States of America. The adjective "sophisticated" would not be in the top 1,000 words; it probably wouldn't be on the list at all.

While I'm enjoying the humiliation justifiably being heaped on Senator Eric Schmitt, I don't don't think enough mockery is being directed at his accomplice, Senator Kennedy, the Cornpone Clown, with this stupidly victorious expression as he smugly holds up the ridiculous "evidence."

"It's not artificial"? Really, Donny? Is it picked from an AI tree? Or is it dug from an AI mine? We have a person who doesn't understand that "artificial" simply means "made by humans rather than occurring naturally" trying to manipulate our language, which he neither understands nor appreciates.

After Eric Schmitt lied and was corrected at the Jack Smith hearing, the NY Times called it a “misunderstanding.” This might be fair if Schmitt had a record of honesty (he doesn’t) and if Schmitt didn’t repeat the same lie after the hearing (he did). What the hell is the NY Times doing?

Devlin Barrett and Charlie Savage
Reporting from Washington
Jack Smith, who as special counsel twice charged Donald J. Trump with criminal offenses after his first term, defended his actions in testimony before Congress on Tuesday, as a Republican senator accused him of perjury based on what appeared to be the lawmaker’s misunderstanding about a basketball game involving the University of Iowa Hawkeyes.

Funniest part to me is Jack Smith using 110% of his lawyer brain. He avoids making the connection himself; he doesn't even say "Hawkeyes," he just says "Iowa." He knows it's better to let everyone figure it out on their own. He also knows from Klobuchar's grin that she'll dunk it for him.

It's like they all read Roy Cohn's new biography and they see setting a perjury trap as their path to fame and glory (of a particularly sordid sort). But try not to confuse the Iowa Hawkeyes with the Atlanta Hawks when you're getting your 'facts' together.
