Speaking of golf habits, I thought this was a nice little thread. I certainly don't have the accountant skills to sleuth through this myself, but it sounds intriguing:

The Russian mob laundered money inside Trump Tower and the FBI raided them.
If I recall correctly one of Trump's residents and cronies (Slater / Manafort?)) lived next door.

This is the guy that rented Qaddafi space in New York for his tent when he was invited to address the UN.
Who knows how many powerful and dangerous people Trump borrowed money from or laundered money for over the years.
There are trails that go directly to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and Erdogan. All through "real estate projects" that never went anywhere.

I can kind of convince myself there's a naive sensibility mixed with old maps and political cartoons... But the execution is terrible. The art is bad (those dollar signs

), there's no balance and it's noisy as hell.

Apparently not the first one in that style.

That one is better in execution, IMHO, though still weird. Really bizarre for Cuomo to self insert so prominently in that corny, self-laudatory style.

99% chance they will fuck this up and put something dumb and unrelated in the bill for their donors.
The GOP will throw a hissy fit about 'spending' and Trump will veto.

Also I'm not sure what Kudlow is thinking but Democrats aren't going to give up the unemployment benefits for a capital gains tax holiday.

But the lessons that ought to have followed the election—lessons about the importance of understanding other Americans, the necessity of resisting tribalism, and the centrality of the free exchange of ideas to a democratic society—have not been learned. Instead, a new consensus has emerged in the press, but perhaps especially at this paper: that truth isn’t a process of collective discovery, but an orthodoxy already known to an enlightened few whose job is to inform everyone else.

Twitter is not on the masthead of The New York Times. But Twitter has become its ultimate editor. As the ethics and mores of that platform have become those of the paper, the paper itself has increasingly become a kind of performance space. Stories are chosen and told in a way to satisfy the narrowest of audiences, rather than to allow a curious public to read about the world and then draw their own conclusions. I was always taught that journalists were charged with writing the first rough draft of history. Now, history itself is one more ephemeral thing molded to fit the needs of a predetermined narrative.

Soon after the show's cancellation, an internal MSNBC memo was leaked to the press stating that Donahue should be fired because he opposed the imminent U.S. invasion of Iraq and that he would be a "difficult public face for NBC in a time of war" and that his program could be “a home for the liberal anti-war agenda”.
