MM continues to provide observant and humane telling of events imposed on us. I don't know how, because my vocabulary isn't up to the task. How MR looks in the mirror, sees Hitler/Himmler and does NOT say to himself "something is off here" or "Scotty, beam me up" is beyond my articulation. Many, many people have suffered grievously while alive in the US and they have NOT done what he now does, feverishly and savagely. He does not get "consideration" [ he was 'hurt'] while they do not.

Thank you David for a

really good opening. And

yes, Louisiana gov't in all

forms has always been a

corrupt system with a

very dark side, even

before Huey Long.

1 more day and this

week is done, thankfully.

Poor, poor little Marco. I

have just the place for

him to go, to heal from

his hurts. He can take

Trump with him.

In an office within the Presidential Palace, San Salvador: "Sr. Presidente, you have President tRump on the telephone...

— I know what he wants, we rehearsed it last week...Hola, Mr President!

— Hey, Bukele, the judges are on my back again, they're bad, bad people.

— Ah, si, si, Señor, so here's what you tell them: We claim total sovereignty over rapists and murderers in our prisons, and no way will we let them out, including MS-13 narco gangster Abrego Garcià!

— Good man! And muchos gracias for your help...I'll pass it on to Pam and li'l Marco!

— Hasta la vista, Mr President...call me anytime, si?

David, it may just my imagination, but it seems to me that Trump, for whatever reasons, is beginning to withdraw from leadership a bit, allowing other cabinet members like Rubio and Bondi to become more assertive. Age, increasing neurologic conditions- it's really hard to tell, but there's no doubt he's still the prime mover. I no longer think there's a hidden power, like Musk or Putin behind the throne.
