An interesting read, but the first sentence is beautiful.

A defining trait of Donald Trump—and, thereby, of Trumpism—has been abiding avarice frustrated by an equal level of incompetence.


The most surprising element of Michael Cohen's testimony (paywall)

The element? Cohen's playbook was to confess and show remorse, which is almost unheard of among folks who've associated with Trump. Will it work? I guess time will tell. I suspect the response to that question will be as bipartisan as anything else associated with Trump.

There is a paywall, but you get a few free articles....

I didn't learn anything new about Trump during Cohen's testimony that I didn't already suspect. I just heard it from someone close enough to him to confirm it.

Sad.

great kicker, too:

"He was like a man shouting at a crowd to get off the sidewalk because there’s a drunken driver headed its way—stricken by the fact that he helped hand that driver the keys."
