Convicted Trump ally Roger Stone, who’s been permanently banned from Twitter for five long years, apparently believed that Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s $44 billion deal to buy the social media giant meant his banishment was over.
I was trying to think just how loathsome this creature is, how you’d describe it, and the best I can do is to compare him to the maniacally lustful first murdered swinger in “Eating Raoul.” And since I can’t find a clip of him, this should give you an idea:
I’m reminded of a wonderful scene in Fellini’s La Dolce Vita in which a bogus appearance of the Virgin Mary to children in a field near Rome devolves into chaos. Ah the travails of charlatans!
What do you call it when a lifelong grifter and petty criminal like Stone is suddenly “born again” but he remains the actual same piece of shit he was before his epiphany?
