I start though my pile of email this morning and near the top is Michael Cohen’s daily newsletter. I know about his history as trump’s fixer. He’s carrying a lot of bitter baggage. But boy can he write. Lovely shaped pieces of prose, with flow, and punch, and always a sharp, clear ending statement.

I don’t always agree with him. I just enjoy reading him.

I have to share today’s piece: https://therealmichaelcohen.substack.com/p/peace-over-a-piece-of-pie?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=email-restack-comment&r=cgren&triedRedirect=true

This was the second paragraph – I could see the political cartoon by someone like Steve Brodner or Ann Telaes so clearly, I burst out laughing!

Let me put it plainly: this is what happens when you replace competence with cronies and let self-interested acolytes cosplay as statesmen. You don’t get diplomacy. You don’t get strategy. You don’t even get common sense. No; what you get is a surrender plan so lopsided, so humiliating, so cosmically stupid that even Zelenskyy, a man fighting for the literal survival of his country, had to politely pretend not to bang his head against the nearest wall.

I could copy the rest of the diatribe – that’s what it is – but just check the link above and read it. It’s stark. It’s angry. It’s funny. And he’s hit the nail on the head!
