I just subscribed to your newsletter. I only have so many fucks left to give and I think giving one to your newsletter will be a good investment. Also, you had me at Keith Olbermann - yes, a bit of a smug bastard but he was our smug bastard, dammit.
Jim, II don't disagree with you, except for one detail - many people (including Jonathan, until recently) aren't necessarily aware that the Genocide convention has a broader definition of genocide than they assume. Jonathan writes
"The mistake I’ve made — based on my ignorance about the legalities — was that I believed that genocide implied intent of total annihilation. Oops.
In fact, it’s defined as acts to “destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such.”
Hassett is setting the stage for his pals to cash in even more in the housing market. There will be a housing emergency declared. Yes, we already have one, but not their extra special one.
They will swoop in to save affordable housing. Ha!
Affordable housing is a misnomer. Units start at below market value, and inch their way up to and beyond market value.
In an effort to take back a few hours a day for enjoyment of life vs. drowning in a sea of slimy orange blancmange, I have begun whittling down my news sources. To my (not really) surprise, TFN has emerged as my primary reference, and has provided not only information, but, to my (surprised) surprise, the serenity (sanity?) to actually enjoy that enjoyment. And as a bonus, a new favorite adage. E pluribus fuckem. Thank you, Jonathan.
“[I]f, God forbid, there's a terrible tragedy, I can't think of better on-the-job training than what I've gotten over the last 200 days[.]”
If the Hillbilly is referring to recent experience on how to fuck up the US six ways to Sunday, how to bloviate like an expert (he does have a good teacher), increase the world's opinion that the US is a clown country lacking any seriousness, how to make billionaires happy (replete with a happy ending), ways to break every law he can and violating the Constitution regularly, doing whatever he can to help issue in a permanent tyranny of the minority..., then maybe he is the right man for the job.
If it means accepting responsibility for his actions, fiduciary responsibilities, seeing that an incoming tide raises all ships and not just fellow tribe members', working to return America to a dominant position on the world stage, working with our allies and not coddling assholes like Putin, Xi, and Netanyahu... then fuck no, he isn't even close to ready.

“Watching the Biden thing really said something about the necessity for generational change in the party, and I think I want to respect that,” Nadler said. “[A] certain amount of change is very helpful, especially when we face the challenge of Trump and his incipient fascism.”
Finally, a Dem leader who acknowledges that the Dems need to hand the baton to the next generation of leaders. As it appears now, most of the Dem top dogs want to follow the lead of DiFi: being senile, unable to fully grasp what they are voting on (without an aide explaining the proposed legislation and telling them how to vote), and can think of nothing better than to die while still in office -- I'm looking directly at you Sen Schumer.
If the Orange Judias, by some unimaginably cataclysmic circumstance, doesn't end up shrugging off this moral [sick] coil and annexing Hell (and replacing the current crop with yes-demons, no doubt), and lives to blight another day, all I have to say to last year's shooter is, "Better aim next time!"

😂🤣
Oh, man…still laughing. Love that you pointed out “My View With Me”, also.
*when pumpkin starts turning up in everyfuckingthing.*
Ugh, IKR?? Also, keep up the good work, inserting the most functional word in our language into your columns. Y’know, that one in the title. Can’t keep a good man down!
*No, TFN doesn’t subscribe to a single conspiracy theory about the shooting. But TFN does have a paid, upgraded subscription to the theory*
I read that and respectfully, I’d call that possibility and the one that it was all contrived, just about even. Regardless of how much cleaner, shallower it would be from the physics-lesson version, there would still be a scar, and I have yet to see one. Just floating that out there, as a fellow non-conspiratorial fellow.

“…in whole or in part…”
Your commenters are the smartest and funniest commenters, Jonathan.
Then again, Kamala Harris had four flippin' years of on-the-job training. But I guess she laughed funny, so we get der Duke de 'l'Orange.
Great job Johnathan.

It's a huge scam.
Always follow the money.
Lara Trump? Still irrelevant.

Thank YOU, Raschella.
"rampant online speculation that Pres. Donald Trump [sic] is dead or dying and that he’ll announce his recent or imminent death"

I will miss the yearly Christmas package from Sweden more than I would miss Trump

Also, I admire your caution (editorial, moral, etc), but I’m extremely happy you said it earlier: it’s fucking genocide.
Forgot a B in that there name 😉

Ohh, I see you are ON IT today, JL—nice! (Certainly put your finger on it, gotta hand it to y…ok, ok, sorry).
*Sept. 2: Trump insists he’s not dead yet and that he feels happy*
Niice…does he think he’ll go for a walk?
Funniest. Movie. Ever.
