Best take I've seen. Trump trying to order the Beast to stop feeding is the own goal no one could predict. Violates his entire playbook and career. Lotta pressure building up, round and round she goes, where it blows nobody knows.

Melinda Gates of "Bill and Melinda Gates" apparently said in an interview that she met Epstein exactly once-- I think she called him "evil personified" and apparently also said that she basically did not like that Bill had meetings with Epstein and that she let Bill know it. Overall, we will definitely have to tune in even if we would like to tune everything out. It's a mess.

Trump-as-TV is brilliant because it's the con man who gets swallowed up by his own lies, even when he wants to be free of them. People who say, "There's no such thing as bad publicity" only say that when they've never had the entire world driving them into the doghouse.

she seems more to me like a passive player, a ramora to sharks, but weirder arcs have been written for more obscure characters. Either way, certainly what she represents is an archetype just waiting to be out-Boeberted by a smarter Boebert IMO

Fwiw, the actual Luddites did not throw fits, they rioted & burned down the gears of the Machine : ) they are an excellent model to study to move beyond watching

Bravo! From A toZ you descended that rabbit hole, watching all the YouTube next up's and coming away with plausible theories on 'how did we get here.' It's maddening yet sucks you in. And though I pray for the screen to roll The End, I fear it may just be a tease to roil us into more of the worst soap opera ever.
