The Daily Cartoon and Live Briefing: Monday, May 20, 2024

May 20, 2024 | FlaglerLive | 3 Comments

Clay Jones michael cohen sleaze
From Clay Jones: “Cohen was the money man in paying Stormy Daniels $130,000 to keep quiet about her awkward and uncomfortable hotel quickie with Donald Trump. The way the scheme worked was that Cohen would pay Daniels with his own money and later be reimbursed by Trump. Cohen paid Daniels the full $130,000 upfront and Trump would repay Cohen in installments in order to conceal his connection to the payments to Daniels and because he’s cheap. When Trump created invoices for the payments to Cohen, he listed them as legal fees. In case you’re not already aware of this, paying off a porn star not to talk about a gross shagging is NOT a legal fee. Trump, his shitty lawyers, and shitty Republicans are trying to convince the public that they can’t believe anything Michael Cohen says because he’s a perjured convicted criminal, and generally an all-around scumbag. All that is true which makes me ask, why did he work for Trump for 12 years?”

Today at a Glance:

In Court: Circuit Judge Terence Perkins holds arraignments, takes please and issues sentences in low-profile cases for much of the day, and at 2:30 p.m. hears a motion to modify Jayden Jackson’s bond conditions: Jackson was arrested on April 29 and charged with hit and run with a death of a woman, a first degree felony. (See: “Jayden Jackson, 21, a Sheriff’s Deputy’s Son, Is Arrested in Hit-and-Run Death of Shaunta Cain on U.S. 1.”) His bond conditions include a ban on driving. His attorney, Josh Davis, will ask the court to allow Jackson to drive to and from work. Assistant State Attorney Jason Lewis objects.

The Flagler County Commission meets in workshop at 1 p.m. at the Government Services Building, 1769 East Moody Boulevard, Bunnell. The commission will discuss health insurance costs for county employees, a cost of living raise, and infrastructure issues at Daytona North, also known as the Mondex.

The Flagler County Commission meets at 5 p.m. at the Government Services Building, 1769 E. Moody Boulevard, Building 2, Bunnell. Access meeting agendas and materials here. The five county commissioners and their email addresses are listed here.

Nar-Anon Family Groups offers hope and help for families and friends of addicts through a 12-step program, 6 p.m. at St. Mark by the Sea Lutheran Church, 303 Palm Coast Pkwy NE, Palm Coast, Fellowship Hall Entrance. See the website, www.nar-anon.org, or call (800) 477-6291. Find virtual meetings here.






Notably: When Fortune reported on the nation’s wealthiest people in 1968, there were just 153 people with a net worth of more than $100 million, with just two billionaires: J. Paul Getty and Howard Hughes. Six men had a net worth of more than $500 million, among them H.L. Hunt, the oil executive, and Edwin Land, inventor of the Polaroid camera, porn’s most fortunate slingshot. Forbes that year noted that when it had made its list in 1957, it had used the $50 million benchmark to determine the year’s wealthiest people (155 people were over that line then). A little contrast: Oxfam in 2016 released a study on privilege, power and inequality, summing it up with this abstract: “The global inequality crisis is reaching new extremes. The richest 1% now have more wealth than the rest of the world combined. Power and privilege is being used to skew the economic system to increase the gap between the richest and the rest. A global network of tax havens further enables the richest individuals to hide $7.6 trillion. The fight against poverty will not be won until the inequality crisis is tackled.”

The greatest factors making for communism, socialism, or anarchy among a free people are the excesses of capital…. It is certain that among a free people every excess of capital must in time be repaid by the excessive demands of those who have not capital. Every act of injustice on the part of the rich will be met by another act or many acts of injustice on the part of the people.

—Louis Brandeis, quoted in Lewis Paper’s Brandeis (1983).

    “…and Edwin Land, inventor of the Polaroid camera, porn’s most fortunate slingshot…”

    The younglings (sic), hipsters, and boomers too, have created an encore for the old girl. Let’s not forget Land’s business/invention was ubiquitous in the production of identification credentials; including South African “passes” — part of another page of history. I used to carry one in an attache case, on a job I did: limited surety agent. First comes the booking photo, followed by the bondsman’s photo. You don’t have to go home, but if you’re not in court when your name is called, you will be back where I met you the first time.

    Brings to mind a quote from an old movie I viewed recently… a somewhat deep observation on life.

    Such is the stuff…

    “The stuff that dreams are made of.”

    The “Falcon” had turned out to be a heavy piece of worthless lead. An explicit punctuating example of the sad, one could almost say, pointless motivations behind the actions of the characters. And stepping back, in a strange breaking of the “forth wall,” perhaps also of the movie industry itself… and further still, of the lives of those in the audience as well. For how much of ones life does one carry around the heavy stuff of dreams (past and present)?

    A great sage observation made even more accessible by the use of a well chosen prop.

    Shakespeare wouldn’t be disappointed.

    Just an opinion.
