Rudy, You Meat Head!!


It's the perfect final act of a nightmare presidency. Last Wednesday when he was riling up his Gullibillies to storm the Capitol, Donald Trump had high praise for his own personal Renfield, Rudy Giuliani. That was last week, this is today. Now Rudy can't even get Trump to pick up the phone.

Trump is notorious for stiffing lawyers on their fees. You either get your retainer up front or face a high risk of working for nothing. For the American people that cloud has come with a silver lining. It prevented the Grifter-in-Chief from getting top legal counsel. Time and again it was "thanks but no thanks."

Having Donald Trump for a client is no feather in any lawyer's cap. He's going to expect you to make embarrassing, bullshit arguments and then tell you to eat your bill. It's the "frog & scorpion" thing, over and over again.

The scene is perfect. Trump, knowing he's got to clear out of town, gets squeezed by Rudy for a flat rate $20,000 a day fee. In fairness, Rudy racked up a lot of hours on Trump's behalf launching and losing scores of frivolous lawsuits - more than 50, some say 60. That's a hell of a lot of losing for 20 large per diem.

Rudy, of the Four Seasons Lawn and Garden parking lot conveniently located between a crematorium and a porn shop. Rudy who blew his cranial gasket sending rivulets of what looked like motor oil trickling down his face. Rudy, who got up in court to prosecute a voter fraud case only to proffer no evidence and then tell the judge it wasn't a fraud case. Rudy caught on camera in a hotel bedroom with his hands in his pants by Borat's "daughter." Rudy, who took the stage with the president on Trump's worst day ever to tell the menacing crowd, "let's have trial by combat." All of that, and more, for only $20,000 per day.

Rudy's getting old. Maybe he should just give this to a collection agency but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't take the job.

    Not only does Donald stiff his lawyers, Mound. They end their careers by being disbarred.

      Rudy may escape disbarment, Owen, but his career is finished. The worst part is he can't write a tell-all. From the get-go he's proclaimed himself Trump's personal lawyer. Solicitor-client privilege belongs to the client, not the lawyer. The client can waive it. The lawyer cannot. Which means that all the juicy, behind the scenes stuff Rudy will have to take with him to the grave - well, when he's in it permanently, not just during daylight hours.

      I read that the New York State Bar Association is looking into revoking his membership as well.

      Apparently that falls short of actual disbarment, Uvula. I'm not sure quite what it means.

The Cognoscenti Syndrome

  There is a group of people I think of as the Cognoscenti, people who are well educated, very informed and of rapidly diminishing relevance. Their ranks include writers such as Chris Hedges and Glen Greenwald. These are people who have honed an almost Puritanical value system, readily finding fault in any direction. They are scathing in their attacks on Republicans and Democrats alike to the point where they become nihilists. They don't endorse. They prescribe. This is where they fail. They're unable to advocate for anything that might resonate with the public whose interests they argue are being trammeled. Donald Trump was bad but Joe Biden is scarcely better. This is where their elitism comes in.  74 million may have voted for Trump but, hey, they didn't know any better. The mob that stormed the Capitol. They were just victims of the system venting their frustrations. All the racism, bigotry, xenophobia, misogyny, white nationalism - inevitable side effects of their oppr...

The Gun We Point at Our Own Heads

Image
  If you're sitting at a table and there's a loaded pistol in front of you, do you pick it up and point it at your own head?  Probably not, unless something has gone terribly, terribly wrong. How would you feel if someone else was holding that pistol to your head? But there is a pistol pointed at our heads and, unless we do something about it, we're goners. It's not a Glock. It's fossil fuels and the industry is slowly squeezing the trigger. Proven fossil fuel reserves are sufficient to generate 3.5 trillion tons of greenhouse gas emissions .  Russia and the United States each have massive reserves of fossil energy sufficient to push humanity through the 1.5C heating limit, sometimes called the "carbon budget."  I have it on reliable authority that Washington and the Kremlin aren't getting along very well these days. After all, if you won't hold the line on nuclear proliferation, you might not be inclined to voluntarily give up a major source of na...

Who Asks "Why?"

Every time there's a conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians, all we hear is 'why?'  Why, as in, whose fault is this? It's easier to affix blame if you can truncate the event. Pick a convenient start date, something recent. In this case we'll make it either the Israeli eviction of Arabs from Jerusalem or the scuffle that took place outside the mosque in response. If those don't work, let's go for Hamas launching unguided rockets into Israel. That's even better because it tags Hamas with the blame. The nice thing about this approach is you can just keep using it. It goes on and on, just as it has for the past half-century since the '67 war. You can even date this whole mess to the beginning of the occupation of the Palestinian territories. The Israelis are said to have called these periodic wars, "mowing the lawn." The idea is that, every now and then, you have to take these Arabs to the woodshed. And then you keep your powder dry unt...
