Soon Sayonara AG Bill Barr continued with his stink eye diss of President Trump, saying today that he saw no reason to appoint special counsels to investigate JB’s debauched son or any, get this, unsubstantiated allegations of election fraud. You can’t make this up. Dear Gawd, they do this with a straight face to our face and nothing happens. Do not adjust your set. This is really happening, or not happening depending on your perspective. The level of blatant corruption via nonfeasance is more than I can take or even imagine. It’s that bad.
This is such a beautiful yet tragic eulogium. The town is now gutted. It looks like a movie set. Think Spahn Ranch without the glitter. A Potemkin village. And for what?
Your expression when you talk about what NYC has devolved into, when you say “its gone, it’s absolutely gone” is worth any priceless piece of art I have seen in the Smithsonian. I feel every ounce of emotion you are conveying in your facial expression because I remember NY when I was a law student living in Murray Hill , 3rd and Lex, some 20 years ago. I remember NY and how magical it was, how authentic and mesmerizing it was. The sophistication of the people, the eclectic nature of every neighborhood, the food, the smells, the sounds – the HUMOR. I’ve lived all over Europe and South America (São Paulo, Brazil) and there is nothing like NY. I am bereft with sadness when I think that I can’t show my son the greatest town in the world the way it once was, the Hope diamond of the world. Thank you Lionel.
