Trump Will Burn It All to Save Himself

Not to put too fine a point on it, but the former president* of the United States is a dangerous fcking lunatic and he's decompensating quickly.

It no longer matters whether or not he's doing all this out of abject terror of being hauled before the bar in two states and the District of Columbia.

And he knows it, too, because he won't shut his digital gob.

The introduction for country singer Luke Combs, a powerhouse both vocally and commercially who has exploded in popularity in recent years, came from Justin Davis, the owner of Town Tavern Blowing Rock in Boone, North Carolina, where Combs once worked as a bouncer. But with his round physique and ginger beard, Combs exudes nice-guy energy, so just how good was he at guarding the door? "Luckily, there was two of us," he said on a recent Zoom call from his manager's office in Nashville. "I'm definitely not gonna be in the Bouncer Hall of Fame." As for the Country Music Hall of Fame? Well, it's a little early, but Combs—whose fourth album, Gettin' Old, is out today—has been on a sustained, record-breaking tear; other than Morgan Wallen, who operates in an entirely different stratosphere from the rest of the genre at this point, 33-year-old Combs is Music City's biggest star to emerge in the last decade.
