Lookie here.
The defunct Trump Plaza in Atlantic City is currently wrapped in black netting to keep people nearby from getting hurt by random pieces of its eroding facade.
It will be imploded altogether in January. pic.twitter.com/tpu4Pbf05p— Amy S. Rosenberg (@amysrosenberg) October 15, 2020
Thanks to Foresight for the heads up.
Another tale from our guest, Nick Carraway —
Going back to Thursday night’s town hall I had the same flashback every classroom teacher was having when they watched the performance from 45. So, let me set the scene. It’s fourth grade and little Donnie needs to give his book report. He was supposed to read “Where the Red Fern Grows.” I’ll let Ms. Guthrie take it from here.
Ms. Guthrie: Okay Donald, it is time for your book report. I think you read “Where the Red Fern Grows”?
Donnie: That’s right and I’ll tell you about ferns. My mother grows the best ferns. The best ferns. Everyone in town says she grows the best ferns. She certainly grows better ferns than Ms. Biden and Ms. Clinton down the block….
Ms. Guthrie: That’s great Donald, but can you tell us about the book.
Donnie: It’s a great book, maybe the best book. At least that’s what people are saying. It’s a best seller. Daddy wrote a best seller that many people are still talking about. I still prefer See Spot Run, but this is a great, great book….
Ms. Guthrie: Um Donald, can you tell us a little about the story…
Donnie: Oh, I love this story. First you got the fern and what a great fern it was (looks at back of dust cover) and it has dogs they are great dogs. The book has a happy ending. I love happy endings. When daddy goes to the massage parlor he loves to get happy endings. He says I can’t go until I’m 13….
Ms. Guthrie: Thank you Donald, that will be all….

I heard speculation the other day that Senate Republicans aren’t passing a disaster package so that Joe Biden will enter office with a depression going on and after inauguration they’ll start hollering about the deficit.
Yeah, holler, you worthless chunks of chubby old white men, because the only thing we’ll hear is you whining ‘cuz you’re losers. Most of you won’t even get a vote after inauguration.
I just got breaking news from the The Hill –
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Thursday shot down the prospect of a coronavirus deal totaling between $1.8 trillion and $2.2 trillion — the goalposts of the current talks between Democrats and the White House.
McConnell’s comments, made to reporters in Kentucky, underscore the divisions between President Trump and Senate Republicans on a fifth coronavirus package, with the GOP leader preparing to force a vote on a $500 billion bill next week.
Maybe Trump could start throwing out paper towels at his rallies. That might help.
Seriously, he cut it by more than 2/3rds? That’s not even in the rule book.

Can Texas get in on this deal? Can we get it in writing? Thelma says she’d be happy to notarize it – for free.
The New York Times did a piece on Trump’s visit to Florida coupled with some observations about his dropping poll numbers.
The story ends with a comment from Whit Ayres, a strong Republican pollster, who sums it up pretty well for a Republican trying to tell the truth but wandering around it out of pure fear.
“It’s not clear that seeing more of the president is necessarily a help to his campaign.”
What a clever way to say that Trump is his own worst enemy without getting tweeted about.
And then this morning —
You go, Cap’n Capsize, you just go.
