I need a cigarette now

And no, it wasn’t good for me either

Thanks for suffering more than the rest of us .

God will give you 17.5 hours less in purgatory, or your closest ecumenical fit.

Well said, Mr. Kassam, well said!!!!! :-) Haberman is the "journalist's journalist." Which is like being a "commensurate politician" or "the FBI's finest." Not good.

I’ve suspected since Biden got in that the Being There script was in play. Now Biden is Pedo Peter per Hunter & Peter Sellers played Chauncey. Appropriate for the kind of Osiris cult running the world

600 pages of Maggie is really a waste of time. I am tearing up just thinking you have to go through it. But honestly, I think you gave up and browse along after a few pages.

It would take a scene out of Clockwork Orange with my eyes forced open to read that magpie’s vomitus

I was going to compliment him by saying thank you for hurting your eyes so much by reading it. But then I remembered he did the audiobook thing.

So, I say now thank you, sir, for taking the ear hearing pain for the rest of us. My brain hurts some from trying to digest her theme.

Raheem, you sacrifice so much so we don't have to. I don't know how you got through it. I am reminded of the movie Airplane where the control room character Lloyd Bridges says "I guess I picked the wrong week to stop drinking." But thanks for doing it and filling us in. Too bad the Russian rumor wasn't true.

The costs, financially speaking, just related to lost opportunity cost, are momentous. I weep for the loss to your net worth. You may have standing to sue for damages. 😂

Fantastic book review, sir. You made Maggie make me laugh out loud. :-)

I don't know, makes me think Maggie is likely her pseudo name and her actual name and job is Chance, a gardner and dim womanchild.

Another great on Raheem! Love your dry wit, just hysterical!

Thanks so much for your work.

I find it interesting that people who invoke the movie “Being There” do not interpret or acknowledge the meaning of the last scene in the movie. As a result of your article, I have ordered the book so I can read what Jerzy Kosinksi actually wrote about that scene.

2 observations:

(1) Check out Maggie's hands in her "I'm SO happy to be me!" cover photo --then compare them with the hands appearing on former heavyweight contender Jerry Quarry's bio page ---they are IDENTICAL....

(2) Trump IS Chauncey ---but he's the one who only shows up in the closing credits ---the one who's completely aware of the fact he exists inside an insane world.... but still has a JOB to do...

Oops --you tricked me. Those were Donald's masculine hands. [I guess that ends once and for all the inferences Rubio was attempting to draw in his one on one debate with Trump in 2016]....
