Multitasking our political crises
Occasionally, The Wife insists on driving and that means I white-knuckle and phantom brake-stomp my way to our destination from the passenger seat.
From this perch, in between encouraging The Wife, I have the freedom to watch what's going on inside other people's cars. It's astonishing how we humans can multitask. I have seen drivers on the freeway apply eyeliner, let their dog steer the car, and once, while waiting for a light to change, a guy in an SUV watched porn from a video screen embedded in his sun visor.
We've become so acclimated to multi-tasking, when someone attempts to perform one task to completion it drives folks mad. The Jan. 6 investigation is Exhibit A. The ongoing hearings in Congress have exposed the nefarious doings of those attempting a coup, orchestrated by President Donald J. Trump.
“Yeah, but what about Antifa?!” say those who don't want to focus on this one thing. As if the rioting in Portland and Seattle somehow negates Jan. 6.
Kimberly Guilfoyle, the former FOX News personality, exwife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, and main-squeeze of Donald Trump Jr., was reportedly paid $60,000 to introduce her boyfriend to the mob assembled at President Trump's request on the National Mall

How much do you charge for introducing your boyfriend or girlfriend, husband or wife? While fans of the former president have proven themselves willing to forgive him pretty much everything, the 60 grand given to Gilfoyle for saying, “Heeeeeere's Donny!” has caused rare blowback from the MAGA proletariat, forcing the ex-president's camp to tell the Washington Post Gilfoyle's money came from a deep-pocketed true believer, Julie Fancelli, heir to the Publix grocery fortune, not retirees and veterans who had bought into the stolen election lie.
“But what about Hunter Biden?!”
And this is where we get back to multi-tasking.
We are more than capable of investigating the January 6th insurrection and President Biden's son, Hunter.
While my crystal ball is notoriously foggy, I'm willing to go out on a limb: after the GOP retakes the House in November, we're going to hear a lot about Hunter Biden and not another word about Jan. 6. That will be tragic. If we can put on eyeliner while driving sixty, we should be able to investigate the

Jan. 6 insurrection along with the shady-looking financial schemes of the current president's son.
If Hunter Biden turns out to have been a bag man for his father, we can make room for him in prison along with the rioters and insurrectionists and the political leaders who orchestrated the attempted coup.
But back to Guilfoyle. One question yet to be answered is how Team Trump arrived at the 60 grand figure for Gilfoyle. Who negotiated the deal?
What must that have sounded like?
AGENT: “Ms. Guilfoyle doesn't leave the house for less than 100-grand.”
TRUMP: “Don't we get a family discount?”
AGENT: “Kimberly's not a wife or fiancé, just a girlfriend.”
TRUMP: “How about $10,000?”
AGENT: “Please, she'll spend that on hairspray!” TRUMP: “Okay, $20,000.” AGENT: “What do you care? It's not your money.” TRUMP: “That's true…” AGENT: “Stormy Daniels got $130,000. Let's call it 60k and remember, you don't need to rent a microphone. Guilfoyle is our loudest speaker.”
TRUMP: “Deal.”
