Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

So, the publishers don't want to make money because ... why, again?

I'm pretty sure you misunderstood Trump and the book selling business. Egotistical Trump, who must brag that he is the best and highest paid author, wants a publisher to pay him, upfront, more than $15m that Bill Clinton made, $10m George W Bush made, and $65m Obama made. The publishers are telling Trump loud and clear: "NO! YOU ARE NOT WORTH IT!" because the people who voted for Trump don't buy many books, especially not expensive books. Obama's A Promised Land sells for $23.23. Trump's Believe Me will have to sell for twice that and people won't pay because the book will be the product of a ghostwriter, not written by Trump.

Nah. They're just attempting to censor Trump just like Facebook, Twitter and Google.

However, unlike Facebook, Twitter and Google, they are well within their right to do so.

Meanwhile... Get Woke, Go Broke.

You'd think that Crown Publishing Group under would be looking to make some of that Cuomo money back. Because unless they were charging $102 per copy, they've lot their ass on that deal.

But at least Penguin Random House doesn't have to defend to its shareholders why buying out Crown Publishing Group in October of 2018 was still a good idea, since Penguin Random House/Crown Publishing Group is 100% owned by international media, services, and education company Bertelsmann based in the U.K. since December of 2019.

That's right. Most of the books you buy and your kids are getting in school are published by one foreign company.

A week after the January 6th insurrection, House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy rebuked Trump. McCarthy, nicknamed “my Kevin” by Trump, had been one of the many Republicans in thrall to Trump. He held his tongue when asked about the latest Trump scandal, and parroted Trump’s baseless attacks on the integrity of the 2020 election. McCarthy was forced into hiding in the Capitol complex during the insurrection, during which Trump reportedly called him to complain that the rioters were “more upset about the election than you are.” Now, McCarthy demanded Trump ensure a smooth transition to Joe Biden’s presidency and suggested censuring Trump.

But within days, McCarthy changed his tune. Appearing on Fox News, he mounted a tortured defense of the president’s actions on January 6th.

This whitewashing quickly spread throughout the GOP, fueled by conservative media outlets such as Fox and Newsmax. Republican lawmakers have sought to recast the whole event — despite the staggering amount of evidence to come out of that tragedy, much of it produced by the insurrectionists themselves — as a bunch of “peaceful patriots” and harmless tourists getting harassed by the police. This mass delusion extends all the way to the top: Senate Republicans led by Minority Leader McConnell filibustered a bill to create a bipartisan 9/11 Commission-style investigation of the events of January 6th. Right on cue, Trump himself came out in opposition to the commission with the solemnity we’ve come to expect from him, blasting the bill as a “Democrat trap.”

“There was an opportunity after January 6th to say, ‘Wow, what happened here?’?” Rep. Peter Meijer (R-Mich.) tells me. “What happened at the Capitol was shameful.?.?.?.?We needed to recognize we had led ourselves down a dark and dangerous road.” Instead, he says, the pro-Trump faction clung to the Big Lie of election fraud, saying: “?‘Well, what are you talking about? We won.’?”

If Trump's memoir would be such a money maker, then Trump should publish and print it himself, sell it from his website, and keep all the profits. That way, Trump cuts out all the middlemen, all the editorial control that a book publisher would force on Trump. Trump can then take all the credit for making the Trump memoir, named Believe Me, the most perfect book in history.

The last few days have seen revelations about how close Trump and his allies came to nullifying the results of the 2020 presidential election. Donald Trump’s agents were pressuring the Department of Justice to intervene by “proving” that Biden won the election because of widespread “voter fraud.” Documents obtained by the House Oversight and Reform Committee include a draft memo that was to be submitted by the Department of Justice to the Supreme Court which argued that the 2020 Election results should be nullified.

Questions still remain about the events of January 6, such as why dozens of repeated warnings about a violent attack by Trump’s followers on the Capitol were ignored.

Instead of speaking plainly and directly about the Trump regime’s coup, many in the mainstream news media, and among America’s political class more generally, have avoided using such language. When the coup was imminent, they dismissed it as something “impossible” and “ridiculous” and “fearmongering” by people afflicted with “Trump derangement syndrome.” When the coup and attack on the Capitol finally occurred, many of those same voices called it an “insurrection” or a “mob action” by Trump supporters who “didn’t really have a plan.” This is incorrect: Trump’s attack force included highly motivated and trained elements who acted in a precise fashion with the goal of capturing Mike Pence, whom they threatened to kill, along with other Republicans deemed to be “traitors” and Democrats. Trump’s attack force was attempting to disrupt the certification of Biden’s victory with the goal of creating the conditions for Trump to declare a national state of emergency.

The evidence keeps piling up, and is now crystal clear. Donald Trump, Mark Meadows and their allies were dead serious about overturning the election and installing a coup-driven presidency. Trump's conversation on January with Kevin McCarthy makes it clear that if this took many deaths of members of Congress and even Mike Pence, that was a price he would pay. There is undoubtedly more to come, including with top officials at DOD. We came much closer to a genuine violent coup than we knew.

I think a number of factors have normalized the coup for many people in the U.S. For one thing, political violence has already been normalized through mass shootings and the gun violence epidemic, which are propped up by the Republican Party and the NRA. Another factor is that most people in America haven't had to deal with the realities of authoritarianism, so to them, they're still expecting an exit ramp and some return to normalcy.
