[A continuing miss to Fox and other conservative outlets for not bringing up and highlighting daily ‘the border is secure’ lies of the anti-American Biden administration and presidency. No president in our history has purposely or otherwise done so much damage to our republic as has this functional idiot in the White House. gjr]

But we already knew this,
“Former Trump White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin called former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany “a liar and an opportunist” in her interview with the House committee investigating Jan. 6, 2021.
Farah Griffin’s scathing view of McEnany, her former colleague, was included in a batch of interview transcripts released by the House panel on Thursday. In the interview, Farah Griffin criticized McEnany for helping perpetuate the notion that the 2020 election was stolen.”
“I am a Christian woman, so I will say this. Kayleigh is a liar and an opportunist,” Farah Griffin said in her April interview with the committee. “She’s a smart woman. She’s a Harvard law grad. She knew we lost the election, but she made a calculation that she wanted to have a certain life post-Trump that required staying in his good graces.”

After Seeing Trump’s Tax Returns, I Would Like To Hire His Accountant So That I, Too, Can Pay As Little In Taxes As Possible
“After nearly half of a decade, Congressional Democrats finally released former President Donald J. Trump’s tax returns and you won’t believe what happened next!
Of course, nothing happened. Like any article that says, “you won’t believe what happened next!” what occurs next is the most obvious sequence of events of all time.
The tax returns showed that the billionaire real-estate mogul turned reality TV star, turned president, turned Deep State public enemy number one, has done nothing illegal, but he does use the American tax code to his advantage.”

“Have fun trying to have an intelligent conversation with Paul.”
Well, it’s his blog after all. He’s certainly in the driver’s seat.
When you are (a) determined to be an asshole and (b) have a single topic, it’s up to everyone else to respond or not. Luckily, he has everyone’s number and keeps the crazy flowing.
If I were GeorgeR, I’d put up a ‘Trump’ topic and scooch any Trump posts to that area, at least until the man became pertinent again, if ever. It’s the right thing to do from an editor’s standpoint. If you’ve got the internet version of a crazy street person stopping by your business every day, it’s probably best to give them a special place to wax eloquent or you drive out the customers.

While eating breakfast, I was considering the Paul Phenomena in the aggregate.
To some extent, I think, the internet drives this but there’s also a veering of what catches the public eye.
Now that news (and jobs like ‘News Director’) are opened up to anyone who wants to call themselves that, the old ways of long news apprenticeships are thrown by the wayside. What seems to sell now is a combination of being an edgelord (purposefully argumentative) and, more importantly, a concentration on people rather than mass behavior or ideas generally. Basically a souped-up gossip columnist. Is this due to easier distribution? A more feminine fascination with individuals rather than dry ideas? A slow burn of anxiety-dominant mental illness? I couldn’t say.
Twitter, as something of the future (and present) of news is an interesting eye-opener. It mostly consists of several thousand of these ‘News Directors’ expressing a 240 character opinion on something, usually about a person, which is then responded to by thousands and thousands of low-value responses. Often, they have nothing to do with the topic but are merely the meanest thing that person can think of at that moment. A lot of it makes Paul’s Trump-stalking seem absolutely normal.
It could simply be that very few people do things of value anymore. What is left is a kind of opinion Tourette’s that spills out when it just becomes too much.

Not much of one, although he strikes me as a person who thinks in personalities.

The town gossip attempts to understand the world.
Bummer that search is so bad on typepad, I’d put together a ‘best of’ Paul page where he says essentially the same thing one or two thousand times. Bad manners combined with OCD is a terrifying thing.
