Is Trump's hush money trial death by a thousand tiny cuts?
I feel like in 2016, and even 2020 he had this big dumb energy, presence. This floating ball sack of jingoism. Now he looks kind of sad and deflated. I know he's got a core of cult devotees that will never leave but I can't help but wonder if some fair weather fans might lose their motivation to show up and cast a ballet for him.

1262Video no longer available, but I guess the interview is no longer paywalled:jimmy spako wrote: Fri May 03, 2024 9:30 am This text-to-speech version of a paywalled Jacobin interview with Emily Dische-Becker is a really solid primer to the convolutions of German politics vis-a-vis Israel/Palestine. It's super fast, have to set the video to half-speed to listen at normal pace. Highly recommended.

1264He's old. On top of that there are rumours he's addicted to adderall or some other pills. There's also speculation he has untreated STI's.
Aside from all that, the stress of being an angry douchebag must be taking a toll, and he's not known for his healthy diet either.

1266A who's who in America's assholes. I'm surprised there's no symbolic signature from (yankee) Tucker Carlson.
We're headed for social anarchy when people start pissing on bookstores.

1267"The #Pulitzer for International Reporting is awarded to the staff of the @nytimes, for its wide-ranging and revelatory coverage of Hamas’ lethal attack in southern Israel on October 7, Israel’s intelligence failures and the Israeli military’s sweeping, deadly response in Gaza."
Great so the Pulitzer is now like the Nobel Peace Prize.

1268The revelation that Israel had details of the attack plan a year before it happened was a pretty big scoop.

1269I was just sitting here thinking how Steve is dead and Trump is alive. What a bunch of bullshit.
Re: Politics
1270Some deft political maneuvering here where Biden gets to prove he "cares" by stipulating what kind of weapons they might get to turn the remaining rocks into dust, and Netanyahu gets to play the victim. Going it alone, as it were. Well done boys, well done.
