This piece has been up all day and has not attracted a single subscriber, not even a free one. If someone, anyone, would subscribe (paid, preferably) it would make me feel a lot better about the enormous amount of time and effort I put into it.

This is your best piece on Trump. Precisely in your wheelhouse.

I just saw the “Trump was right about everything” banner. That level of narcissism is really his campaign in a nutshell.

Dude was wrong about how dangerous covid would be, who won the 2020 election, a million other big things, and even little ones like a one-day stock market plunge last summer that he said was a “Kamala crash” that would be the beginning of a major recession.

Contra popular belief, Slash isn't Jewish. We'd love to claim him, but he's a gentile who was named for Saul Steinberg. Even though he's got lots of curly hair and rocks a black hat.

Rabin keep the political shit to your Happy Place. I'm not paying to subsidize your anxiety and fear over the 2024 election.

No, why don't you fuck off. I'm a paying member and this is not what I want to support with my money.

Nathan has made his politics pretty damn clear for a long time. If you don’t like it, fuck you.

I'm aware, that's why I suggested he keep such things on his personal page. I hope he enjoys you speaking for him.

Prove it, then. Prove that you're a paying member and not just barking to discourage speech that you don't like.

I hope you enjoy burning when Trump torches this entire country because of gibbering bigoted assholes like YOU.

We may very well go down, but unlike you we'll go down fighting against small-minded, horribles excuses for human beings like YOU are, you worthless, vicious, petty pile of shit.

David Gerrold has said, the paying audience is paying only for the privilege of looking over the writer's shoulder as the writer creates. If the reader doesn't like what they see, the can stop paying for the view. And that's all.

So cancel your sub if you are unhappy. You do not control content here. That's over at NRHP, and even there it's reserved for paying him to watch certain movies.

I am. No, I don't. We are the audience. He is the creator. This newsletter doesn't exist to indulge OUR whims. Goodbye.
