So we have money crimes, sex crimes, war crimes.

It's a gang of criminals.

I mean, I guess I somehow that St.

Augustine quote occurred to me that I kind of started to write the thing.

You know, I write the morning shots, the newsletter mostly in the morning, but I collect material the night before.

I had so much stuff and I looked at it this morning.

I thought I could go.

I should probably go through all these things, you know, all the evidence of

of corruption, of criminality, of just shamelessness and, and grifting and, and conning their own supporters and so forth.

And I, I didn't actually in the newsletter, but I just didn't have the energy at the time.

But this is like, it got too depressing.

It was like we were saying before, before we were a little upbeat the last two weeks.

we're upbeat because the wheels are coming off.

And I think that is true.

And so these two things can both be true.

The wheels are kind of coming off and it's also getting worse and which is going to happen first is a huge question.

And also the other problem is if the wheels come off, if you want to torture this metaphor,

you know, like an out of control bus careening across the American landscape and across the world.

That's not a good thing either.

So, but anyway, I think that's why we're sort of seem simultaneous.
