That dissection of Trump was a masterpiece – thank you for posting! A fine piece of writing, and absolutely true in all respects. I love the way it starts with typical British understatement (“Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem”) then very quickly picks up steam! 😃 ---

Yeah, everyone hears MTG’s oral incontinence, but when you’re looking at primary candidates in local elections in red-dominated areas, you need to be paying attention. I don’t care what party or what their views are on any other issue, but if a candidate even _hints_ at the 2020 election being stolen, I ain’t voting for them. Random anecdote: In our spring '23 local elections, the seven library board candidates weren’t listed with party affiliations. I had to research each of them to ferret out the MAGAts. Fortunately, it wasn’t hard. Unfortunately, only three were clearly MAGA, so I had to dig deeper to decide which three of the four sane candidates to vote for. ---

So Trump hosts a $100,000 per plate fundraiser for Rudy. Here’s the funny part, it was expected to raise $1,000,000. So, only 10 people attended? Or did Trump take the lion’s share? > Giuliani’s son, Andrew, said in a radio interview that the Thursday night event was expected to raise more than $1 million for his father and that Trump had committed to hosting a second event at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, later in the fall or early winter. > **[Trump hosts a $100,000-per-person fundraiser to help Giuliani pay legal bills](https://apnews.com/article/trump-rudy-giuliani-fundraiser-bedminster-27724c04738a9d47114c3ea50b88b2ee)** > > Former President Donald Trump has hosted a $100,000-a-plate fundraiser for former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani at his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club to help Giuliani pay his mounting legal bills. ---

Once Trump has imposed all of his Mar-a-Lago fees, costs, assessments and charges, Rudy’ll be lucky to make off with twenty bucks. ---
