Using a pillow to muffle a gunshot? Turning a pillow into a silencer would call for a $200 transfer fee on. every. pillow. Plus permission from the local cops to purchase each one. This would lead to pillow kits (bag of feathers, pillow case) and YouTube construction videos.
I wrote a little celebration song this morning and I’ve been singing it all day, to the tune of Reunited.
I sat there staring at the same text scroll
Sprung back to live at the breaking news crawl
Now this is big news, they’re going after Trump’s accountants *
And I’m so excited cause you’re indicted
Hey Hey
You’re indicted, and it feels so good
You’re indicted, yes I knew we could
I know your just his git and we want the big shit
Still I’m so excited cause you’re indicted.
Hey Hey
You surrendered yourself at the courthouse door
Because you protected Trump from his whore
Michael Cohen went down and you stuck around
And I’m so excited because you’re indicted
Hey Hey
You’re indicted and I feel so good
You’re indicted, yes I knew we could
Now you’re just his troll, and we want the asshole.
Still I’m so excited because you’re indicted
Hey Hey
I don’t see it noted anywhere, but Trump has all but announced his 2024 candidacy. He told Hannity the other night that he’s made up his mind, and … it’s not that he wants to run, but the country needs him.
Making this quasi-announcement on the day that his organization gets indicted is almost too on-the-nose summary of everything Trumpian.
It’s a typical Trump distraction technique. “Look over here instead! Trump only looks like a criminal when you’re looking at him so stop looking at him!”
Seems to be a sign that Donald has lost his touch: NO reputable news organization is going to lead with ‘Trump is running in 2024!!!1!!1!’ when they could lead with ‘Trump Organization and CFO indicted.’ As a distraction, it’s subpar.
Of course it DOES give the Murdoch outlets something to fill the time/space with, so as to avoid mentioning the indictments. But that’s nothing compared with the Headline Grabbing Distractors of old.

Nice.
And of course, respectful and reverent mention must be made of Ann_Hedonia’s Kapenga letter (“airport motel hookers” !!!) and “Reunited” re-write. Peaches & Herb were never so relevant!
It’s вендетта which is basically just “vendetta” in Cyrillic (pronounced like “vendyetta”).
Then again this is like asking what the English word for “vendetta” is, since it’s an Italian word. (Of course the English word for “vendetta” is “vendetta” since it was adopted into the language in the mid-1800s.)
