I'm fine with Trump 2024. He will be further weakened, older and Biden's successes will stand in stark contrast to his failures. Let Republicans run him again and lose again.
He also isn't as powerful and untouchable as people think. 7 Republicans broke with their Golden Calf. He will also weaken and be submerged in litigation. People will try to come for the King in 4 years because they want their shot at power.
And, obviously, I would prefer he never runs again and we don't mention him. I'm just not convinced he is or will be as powerful and untouchable as some assume. If that wasn't clear.
May the potential evil eye, nazr and bad juju from my tweet be removed and may this take not be willed into existence even as a hypothetical. Everyone say Ameen! (AMEEN!)

For those asking why does NYT tolerate so much Bret Stephens drama, controversy & shame, the answer is no one knows. But he is tolerated & coddled every step of the way. He tried to silence every criticism against him by colleagues. He'd have the top editors email & warn us.
I tweeted about it last year & called it the special "Bret Stephens Policy." I then received messages from contributors & columnists who said he did same to them. People were on eggshells to not offend him. No one spoke up because they were afraid for their jobs & opportunities.
So of course the man who has a history of racist & offensive comments writes a piece on this NYT Donald McNeil "N word" controversy. His piece gets spiked by Sulzberger, which is an amazing feat considering Bret has always gotten away with publishing nonsense, & what does he do?

Marjorie Taylor Greene won't be able to stay quiet about her hate and hide her nuttiness. That is who she is. This act right now won't last. Not even a month.
Correction: two weeks.
Sigh. Fine. A week.

Made a 4 course, simple Desi meal today. Easy, affordable, very delicious and anyone can do it.
The menu:
1) Khatti Daal - lentils with lemon tang and spices for kick.
2) Keema - ground beef
3) Aloo Mattar Gobi - Cauliflower, Peas and Potatoes
4) Talawa Ghosht - fried beef
Behold my beautiful khatti daal and classy Desi uncle Tupperware 2/
Behold my Aloo Gobi Mattar. Those florets didn't break and the potatoes didn't mash. 3/

Rick Wilson knows this comment isn't a knock on him, but let me tell y'all if we casually used profanity on TV like him & several other folks recently, our careers would be over. This is a privilege reserved for a few. Commentators of color can back me up on this. Had to say it.
Example: Reza Aslan was fired because he called Trump a "piece of shit" on Twitter. He isn't the only person of color "canceled" for such an offense.
To this day, pretty much every Muslim journalist and commentator I know, and many POC, still say, "If they could fire Reza for that tweet...what will they do to us?" Just something to think about moving forward.

Today was the 1 year anniversary of our Nusayba being cancer free. She had stage 4 liver cancer. She needed a full liver transplant. An anonymous donor at the time, @ShawnZed, stepped up to donate a piece of his liver. She's now 4, eating her Cinnabon & full of sass. God is good.
Please consider being a liver donor. The liver grows back, & you will save a life. Also, please donate to funding ATRT research at Dana Farber, the rare cancer @KFILE's beloved Baby Francesca had. Ever little kindness goes a long way. profile.wintercycle.org/DP0276 2/
Continue sending prayers & good vibes to @KFILE & his wife & also @SarahAWildman's daughter, Orli, who also endured cancer & a liver transplant last year. She was floormates w/ our Nusayba during chemo. My family loves her. Every family should have health care, help & support. 3/

You know how I know every Trump enabler will fail up?

Chris Christie has a 6 figure contract at @ABC News as a contributor. Spicer and Lewandowski were given fellowships at Harvard. Spicer also got 6 figures to appear on Dancing with the Stars.

They'll all be just fine.
.@SarahHuckabee whose job was to lie to the press and promote dangerous conspiracy theories got $$$ and a book deal from St Martin's Press, part of MacMillan, one of the "Big 5" Publishers. So much for avoiding the "the liberal media." Her book came out in September by the way.
.@MilesTaylorUSA, who was "Anonymous," wrote a book and is now a CNN contributor. He was fine with the child separation policy. He also lied to CNN about being Anonymous. He was punished...by remaining as a contributor washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/medi…
