Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

I hold this truth self-evident. That peepee tape is real. That Trump is not endowed with a mandate of governance, lacks good sense, and is amoral.

I ended my satellite tv sub two years ago because everytime I watched 24-hr news I would tip over into irrational snappy anger, mostly at the way it was delivered. It is entertainment for 'fans of sports teams' on all of these networks, not just Fox News. If politics matters to you, just read your news. Your nervous system will thank you. Some goateed blowhard in an ill fitting suit shouting the news at you is bad for all involved, as we have recently seen.

Propublica does not update as often as most, but is ace reporting. I read others, but too many to list here.

Also, if you just want to see the headlines, some superhero goon made this thing! I know the URL looks weird but trust me.

The performance doesn't matter. What does matter is it will bother the President of the United States immensely. Perhaps he will complain loudly on Twitter and call Baldwin a failing loser. Perhaps he will make important decisions based on it, as he has in the past.

It's worth it for that.

I don't want to be too much of a conspiracy theorist, but I am very curious about the suicide note, because the part that I have read seems a little off.

The two phrases that I have read,

RECENT BAD TURN IN HEALTH SINCE JANUARY, 2017…

LIFE INSURANCE OF $5 MILLION EXPIRING.

do not seem to be the type of thing a native English speaker would write.
They seem to be the type of thing that someone who had studied English as a foreign language would write.

It also seems oddly specific, with the inclusion of the date and dollar figure. I'd think most people would just write something more along the lines of "my recent health problems" and "my life insurance expiring".

I think that some life insurance policies only disqualify for suicide for the earlier parts of the term.

I'm a composition teacher. Some people just write stilted, usually because they over think it. So, on the one hand, "Life Insurance of $5 million" and "Recent bad turn in health since January, 2017" are way weirder than "$5 million life insurance" (or as you point out, just "my life insurance") and "a recent turn in my health," but in my honest opinion, it's not outside the realm of typically poor writing. Hell, I have a friend who got a master's in CivE. I proof read his thesis for him and it was on a high school level.

Point is, could be a Russian spy wrote it, could be a guy that isn't a writer and who was under a lot of stress over wrote the thing. I know which one I think is more likely.

Edit: let me rephrase something: some people, left to their own devices and without good instruction or mentorship, write stilted.

Like, there are things that point to this being a suicide...no struggle, he was an elderly man with some health problems, and everyone is capable of suicide.

But I would be curious about other things. The diction is odd...how does it compare to his other writing? Had he written about suicide before? What were his religious beliefs? Why would he kill himself because a life insurance policy was about to expire?

Before today, if someone had said they got an e-Mail from a lawyer representing the President of the United States of America that said

"“I’m on you now. You are loving with me now Let’s see who you are Watch your back , bitch.” "Call me. Don’t be afraid, you piece of poo poo. Stand up. If you don’t call, you’re just afraid." " “I already know where you live, I’m on you. You might as well call me. You will see me. I promise. Bro.”

I would say that was probably a forgery and that professional lawyers would not be using that type of language in a way that could be recorded, but...

Well, that kind of undercuts my point, in that people can sound different than they do, but the deeper point is stuff keeps getting weirder.

People don't think it be like it is, but it do, bitch.

Not only is Trump laying the groundwork for his own incompetency defense, but he now has a case that his lawyer was also not competent.
