I guess he’s numbering them differently now. He’s writing out “Season” and “Episode”, but since DK has a stricter limit on diary/post/entry titles, I’m going with the abbreviation S2Ex. That having been said ...
S2E5 of the Countdown podcast is up.

A-Block
That’s right, Keith didn’t provide a summary for the A Block. I guess I’ll have to do it then (at least, unless he posts a revision):
- The former President of the United States of America, Donald John Trump has been indicted by the United States of America on a series of felony charges, and he has pleaded not guilty in federal court. … Wait, we did this story already!
- The timeline that the court imposed, and imposed is the exact word. They hit Trump over the F-ing head with it. There is no doubt, no doubt whatsoever that Smith and maybe even Merrick Garland have realized they are working against the clock. There was considerable reporting from inside the Prettyman Courthouse that Trump looked really honked off about something yesterday, especially compared to his demeanor at the Florida arraignment.
- Trump went off on worldwide television about how horrible the graffiti was in Washington, and knowing he had blown it, suddenly remembering he was supposed to say, that this is a persecution of a political opponent.
- Trump pleaded not guilty in his own voice, was asked to confirm he understood he had the right to remain silent, claimed he understood that. He doesn’t understand that. And probably the only unexpected development of the whole day came in the traditional barrage of self pitying, self martyring social media post by Trump in which he spelled the word “stolen” correctly.
- DeSantis cannot help himself and cannot stop himself, and cannot save himself. On a tour of New Hampshire, he issued the now standard, “I ensure the woke agenda ends happen”, but then he added something new, and apparently this is why they have him keep going back to woke, woke this, woke that, because when he tries something else, this happens: As to federal bureaucracy, and federal bureaucrats, DeSantis said, “We’re going to start slitting throats on day one.” You realize how bad that is, even for fascists who relish a good execution metaphor, that’s just way too gory. That’s how bad it is.

- (19:38) IN SPORTS: The shut-up-and-dribble crowd forgets to shut up. The DeVos-owned NBA Orlando Magic donates $50,000 to a campaign arm of the racist, homophobic Ron DeSantis and the team players and ALL the NBA players rightfully go nuts. And Tiger Woods joins the PGA Board: will he save us from the Saudi takeover of golf, or collaborate with those who want to see The Prince Mohammed Bin Salman Masters?
- (23:41) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Trump whore Mark Levin with an “disfunctional” flub, Tampa discovers “Dumpster Fire” is not always just a metaphor, and General Michael Flynn was trying to tweet [or x] something AGAINST child trafficking but wound up tweeting [xing] something (“I highly encourage you to attend our child trafficking training in Sarasota”) that sounds like it’s FOR child trafficking. We think that’s what it is.
C-Block
- (30:01) FRIDAYS WITH THURBER: If it’s another indictment day I can only read you one of the master’s works: He wrote it in 1931 when Donald wasn’t even a gleam in Fred Trump’s eye at an invigorating KKK rally. Yet it is the story: “The Greatest Man In The World”.
EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY
That’s all the damage for now. Good morning, good afternoon, good night, and good luck!
