Ten pounds is a lot of shit. He must eat a lot and suffer constipaintion. Poor guy - pour him into a bigger garbage bag and put it on the curb of history.
t (lowest case) is wrong on just about everything.
Thank you, Greg. I have been circulating your "The Opposite of Chaos is Community" podcast with Billy Ray. I'm hopeful more will listen, and then subscribe to Prevail. Happy graduation ceremonies to your son; and looking forward to your return next week!
I remember when Reagan was slipping into dementia. There may be some parallels with Trump. The main reason I remember that time so clearly was a fantastic musical called “Rapmaster Ronnie” that I saw at a small theater in Los Angeles.
The difference, of course, is that, as bad as Reagan was in so many ways, to so many people, he stood up to the Kremlin. Demented or not, he knew who the real bad guy was. He didn't join them to make a few bucks, like the puppet.
I wonder which, if either, haunts him the most: the prospect of humiliation at the debate, or, the prospect of unceasing criticism for not debating.🤷🏼♀️
I saw an interview yesterday with the author of a new book "Apprentice in Wonderland". His name is Ramin Setoodeh. He interviewed Trump after he left the White House. Disturbing to say the least. I loved your column with Billy Ray and your book, Rough Beast, is up next on my reading pile. Thanks for all your work.
Telling, isn't it, how no one who works with Trump likes him? Not the journalists, not the biographers, not the administrators. They all think he sucks.
Working my way through Rough Beasts, THE primer on all things Trump. Today's rant, hopefully relevant to today's Prevail.
Quote from Sir Keir Starmer from the current Lunch with the FT, "No one just gives you anything when you’re working-class, you have to work for it, not having a base camp of wealth and privilege.”
So many MAGANuts have drunk the 45 kool-aid, actually believe dipshit will help them, give them the good life. Under dipship boats will sink, tractors will rust, all happening while Republicans pull their reverse Robin Hood, take from the 99%, give to the 1%, especially the 0.5%. So many working class types forget about the basic tenet of their life (the one without the silver spoon), you WORK for what you want. The USA was, maybe still is the land of opportunity BUT you had to grasp opportunity, it did not smile upon you and make you rich. Joe will help them achieve by not busting unions, indeed strengthening them, helping to make work pay well. His job creation rate is unmatched. He will put in place a fair tax system, one that will lift more out of poverty. As long as MAGANuts want to hear asinine, idiotic rants about sharks vs electric motors, watch Fox distort videos to make Biden look disoriented, therefore not deal with facts and reality but live in fantasy land (alternative facts), be entertained, they will laugh all the way, not to the bank but to the poor house. Once they are there laughter ends, tears abound, blame who, the wokes. Dipshits greatest harm, making people not believe in personal responsibility, a very weird form of Socialism.
We need a Clockwork Orange moment, open their eyes and make them read Rough Beasts.
It's interesting that so many of the rich assholes donating to Trump have inherited their wealth. They are the few who fortune DID smile upon and made rich. Soulless ghouls, the lot of them.
I just wrote a comment at another site yesterday in reaction to T's claim that he's "winning big," in the wake of the new Fox News poll suggesting that Biden is now polling slightly ahead of T. It applies here too:
"Sometimes I read his ramblings and remember a time when presidential candidates conducted themselves with dignity and gravitas, at least in public. This isn't the first time, certainly, but yet another reminder of what a spoiled, tantrum-throwing child this man's act is. Some of the things he says and writes would have scuttled presidential campaigns in a heartbeat not that many years ago. It's really embarrassing that we, supposedly, originate from the same country. Ugh, this fuckin' guy."
I'm reading, "Apprentice in Wonderland," and it's what we all suspected. SPOILER ALERT: He's ALWAYS been like this. Always. I'm also amazed, still, that after so many authors have sat down with this idiot for interviews for books, that somehow, he ALWAYS thinks that "THIS one" will be flattering to him. You can tell already, in the first few chapters, that's what he thought, that this man wanting to write about "The Apprentice," would show what a business mogul he really is, and how the show itself would have been NOTHING if he hadn't been the "billionaire" at the head of it. The man is delusional, and he believes his own bullshit. It's a volatile combination that leads to failed businesses one after another, failed marriages, fail-sons and fail-daughters, and even insurrections.
By the way Greg, if I ever write a book, I'm going to hit you up for a blurb. I just got Nina's book!
Thanks, Steve. The need in him for respect and love is so bottomless, he creates these mass delusions. Or so it appears...I'm just a novelist, not a psychologist.
Let me know what you think of her book! It's short -- I blew through it in an afternoon/evening -- and I really did mean what I said in the blurb.
The Overton window is now the big window in the middle of the top floor of a McMansion: everything is normalized. It's insane.
Greg. You said it oh so well.
Trump is ten pounds of shit in a five pound bag…
That about covers it.
Heehee. That was the last line I put in. My great uncle used to say that, one of his many expressions. It's an old joke, but it fits very well here!
Ten pounds is a lot of shit. He must eat a lot and suffer constipaintion. Poor guy - pour him into a bigger garbage bag and put it on the curb of history.

Love your work Mr. Greg. Billserle.com
The curb of history! Yes!
TGIF 🎉🎉🎉First day of summer and a Celtics victory parade! Yahooo - Boston hasn’t had a victory parade in five years; severe drought🤣😉
I was there when they won. The celebration was fun!
You’ll have to come back next year for the repeat!🎉19😉
I got Rough Beast at my local bookstore yesterday!
Thank you! I'm very glad to hear that.
Thank you, Greg. I have been circulating your "The Opposite of Chaos is Community" podcast with Billy Ray. I'm hopeful more will listen, and then subscribe to Prevail. Happy graduation ceremonies to your son; and looking forward to your return next week!
Thanks, Lynell. It was a great shot in the arm, that discussion. I've been quoting it a lot myself.
Thank you! Two graduates. Two soon-to-be college students. Wow!

This could also be the “transcript” of his opening remarks at the upcoming debate.
It won't be far off...IF the debate actually happens, which would surprise me.
I wonder which, if either, haunts him the most: the prospect of humiliation at the debate, or, the prospect of unceasing criticism for not debating.🤷🏼♀️

Thanks so much, Elizabeth!
I’m just longing for the good ol’ days. By which I mean 2015.
Seriously.

Somebody stole your book from the library! I am gonna need another copy, Pronto! (This is such fun, better than graffiti!) Have a decent weekend!
That's good? I guess?
You too!
The world salad is now well rotted compost.
