Trump asking whether he (President Zelenskyy) would go to Moscow, who then responds:
„It is difficult to go to Moscow thanks to the many Ukrainian drones. (…) It is too dangerous.“
I almost fell from my chair laughing.
Elvis called me this morning. We spoke for, maybe, 20 minutes or so. He was kind of upset at first: He's been watching a lot of cable news lately, and he said he'd heard Trump wanted to take over his old mansion in Memphis and tear it down and build a huge casino resort there.
Initially I was confused, but then I remembered his hearing isn't so great at 91, especially after all the concert tours and everything else he's been through. I explained: “Elvis, it's okay. The old orange hound dog in the White House is after *Greenland*, not Graceland.”
He was so relieved. Said he’d pass that on to Lisa Marie.
Anyway, our 20-minute convo ended on an optimistic note. He mentioned he was trying to lose all that weight he gained in the ’70s, but the GLP-1s he had tried hadn't worked for him. Turns out St. Peter got him a compassionate use exemption for that new experimental Eli Lilly drug, you know, the one you can get if you're really old and have a lot of pull. Says the pounds are just melting off now, he's been working with a personal trainer, and will be back on his Harley and back on tour really soon!!
I spoke with my dear friend Mitch McConnell this morning. He told me his biggest regret is not voting to convict Trump after Jan. 6. We both agreed America would be in a much better place today if he had.
He’s looking forward to spending his final months in the Senate making Trump’s life as miserable as possible.
Mitch McConnell will keep ‘working remotely’ while recovering until Aug 8, followed by his surprising but peaceful death—just late enough under Kentucky rules to avoid a special election.
