@Teri_Kanefield One could ask in this case of the Trump-Meadowes relationship, what would be the point of going along to "offer good advice" when the client or superior simply will not take any advice that doesn't confirm what he is going to do anyway? Still, Meadowes may argue in his defense that his only other choice was to resign and (hopefully) blow the whistle.
I WROTE A BOOK. IT IS COMING SOON
Yes, I’m about to be a published author, a fate I managed somehow to avoid until now. It is a collection of poems that I wrote as comments on other people’s poems on blogs.
A firm release date is not yet set, but July is the target. I don’t know yet about price or a plan for pre-orders. Both print and e-book are planned.

I'm trying to remember who said that getting information from the internet is like trying to drink from a fire hose.
Simon Rosenberg was one of the few people who saw through the red mirage and accurately predicted that the Democrats would make a strong showing in the midterms.
He said we don't have a data problem. We have an analysis problem.
I think this sums up the entire problem with our current social media and cable news and information disruption.
The data is there, but we're too easily distracted and manipulated.
Droplets of facts get lost in the information downpour.
It should be bigger news that the Trump Org is currently on trial for serious financial crimes, including fraud.
Remember when "her emails" mattered?
"Her emails" was repeated so incessantly that even people who knew there was no crime had doubts.
This, on the other hand, matters.
The Trump CFO, who still works for the Org, pleaded guilty.
This is what I mean when I saw we are in a dangerous informational disruption.
The truth gets lost.
This week's blog post is in two parts.
First I offer some reflections on the midterms (I wrote it last night right after we knew that Catherine Cortez Masto won in Nevada🎉)
Part II: I dunk on entitled rich white MAGA men.
Sometimes I just wanna have fun🤷 .
