Pancho Villa is 🔥. I used to live really close to the one in San Mateo. This group also owns "El Toro" in downtown SF.

when i take the early morning flight from NYC, i usually get off airplane at SFO and drive straight to the San Mateo location for lunch. good way to kick off my time in SF area.

In-N-Out...duh!

Super Pollo in Costa Mesa/Newport Beach...was just there last week while at a work educational institute. Amazing Mexican grilled chicken a la El Pollo Loco but MUCH better.

Margon Cuban Restaurant on 46th near Times Sq.

there are a few chain Cuban places in NYC, but this standalone joint is your classic "NYC hole in the wall" with great food, friendly service, cheap, fast and the Cuban coffee is fantastic

OUR CRUMBLING DEMOCRACY

Hey, do you remember when a deep-red Texas district voted to do away with computer tabulation and went with hand-counting because some sort of Q-Anon conspiracy against the voting machines despite warnings that hand-counting is far less accurate, expensive, and less secure. You wanna know how that went? Take a guess.

Trump sychophant reaches the "Find Out" phase after failing to show up at her own hearing for four election fraud cases in Michigan. She should have known better because she's a lawyer. Or, perhaps "was" a lawyer.

Six more days until Repo Day. Trump puts in filing asking to delay his payment in the civil fraud judgement against him, citing that 30 different companies have refused to underwrite his bond.

It would be delicious if the State of New York were to seize multiple real estate assets in payment of the judgement. Especially Trump Tower.

If Mar-A-Lago is owned by a New York LLC, then it's probably fair game.

Sell some shit like regular people have to do.

Expand full comment

it is not clear that he can sell stuff that quickly and not clear how much it is worth on short notice.

on the other hand, where are all the billionaire backers to help him out in his moment of need? clearly no one cares that much!

Expand full comment

Commercial real estate isn't very liquid, like cash or even most securities like stocks and bonds. If Trump's wealth is primarily in real estate, won't it take a while to satisfy the judgement?

Even so, won't there be a certain entertainment value vis-a-vis the schadenfreude derived from watching the public dismantling of an evil empire?

By "certain", do you mean champagne-popping and loudly cackling -- then yes. Yes, there is.

Expand full comment

my new take is that this might have been (and still might be) a very election. the fact that Trump is starting out in a $500m deficit will end up being the difference since everything else is otherwise split 50/50.
