Quote:There is no precise French translation for “lawfare,” but that’s exactly the accusation Le Pen and her partisans have leveled throughout her months-long trial. They called the prosecution a witch hunt, a page taken directly from Donald Trump’s playbook.

Shame and contrition are quaint contrivances from a bygone era. Trump is a felon whose 2024 conviction wasn’t even a speed bump on his path to the White House. The prime minister of Italy leads a party born in the ashes of postwar fascism. Leaders of Germany’s surging right-wing party have repeatedly downplayed Nazi crimes; they are embraced by Elon Musk and Vice President JD Vance.

There are no more red lines. In Europe, as in the United States, any political life, no matter how compromised, might easily enjoy a second or third act.

Maybe they're hungry and know you're atheist.

None of the three of them have missed a meal.  

A group of armed thugs could show up right now and they would all snore right through it...unless they showed up driving a garbage truck.

If Milli Vanilli fell in the forest, would someone else yell for help?

Tomorrow is going to be a bloodbath on Wall Street.

I'm thinking most of April.
