Good luck. I think you're going to need it when you're caught out in the storm.

 Since we spent most of yesterday down where the drunkards roll, the News was mostly Gibberish. Therefore, today's Gibberish will be mostly News. Or something like, depends on how I feel after supper.

 Regardless it has been a very eventful day indeed. I'm not sure where to start. There is an embarrassment of riches. Since a lot of them need time to marinate - and I'll need something to work on for tomorrow's News - we'll just touch on them a little bit. And away we go.

 Perhaps the most karmically satisfying tidbit from today's events was learning that former Trump campaign manager, hot tub despoiler, and slimy greaseball Steve Bannon was arrested at sea - in a yacht owned by a Chinese spy who's avoided deportation thanks to his membership at Mar-A-Lago - for his part in defrauding investors in the totally legit "We Build The Wall." Bannon's accused, along with three others (including a Breitbart funder) of using up to $25 million in funds gathered to build that dumbass wall along the border for "personal use". I haven't seen what that entails yet, and considering Bannon's oleaginous nature, I'd rather not know.

 There are some interesting folks caught up in this, though we don't know yet if they'll see any charges filed. For one, failed Sheriff David Clarke and, for another, failed video game company owner Curt Shilling, but the best, the very best, name involved is "Diaper" Donald Trump Jr. He's given a couple speeches for the group, though the White House is pulling the whole "they just brought coffee" bit. So we'll see. Bannon pleaded not guilty. In a nice bit of karmic justice, he was apprehended by agents of the United States Postal Service. That? That is Beauty.

 In other news to bring joy, a U.S. District Court judge has tossed out Trump's attempt to quash a subpoena trying to get the dirty bastard to release his tax returns. The New York Attorney General has been after his for a while on this issue, though A.G, Cy Vance has been rather tight-lipped at just what he's investigating beyond Trump being a corrupt bastard. There is some suggestion it has to do with where the hush money he paid Stormy Daniels came from, but that's all supposition.

 Trump's already taken some hits on this at the Supreme Court level - he's trying to claim he's above prosecution since he's President while the law is telling him to get stuffed - but his law dogs will appeal. He didn't have a good day. He's attacked an American manufacturer because he misunderstood company policy, causing no end of backlash, and has been in a days-long meltdown over the Democratic National Convention. Speaking of which, Bannon was scheduled to speak at next week's Republican National Convention and apparently still is. And the Susan B. Anthony Museum told him to get bent.

 One does wonder - or hope, maybe - if the reason all these chickens are coming home to roost is due to the boys and girls in the back, the long-suffering bureaucrats Trump and his yapping lickspittles call "The Deep State" see the writing on the wall. He's slipping more in the polls and Republicans who don't want to be seen as frothing mad conspiracy theorists are actively endorsing Joe Biden.

 Okie doke. That's enough for tonight. Hopefully, we'll get back to what we laughing refer to around here as "normal", but that all depends on how late I stay up tonight playing Pillars of Eternity II. Be forewarned: it's going to be late.
