[G]ambling odds aren’t exactly reliable predictive science — they’re
pretty far from it in a lot of cases — but they’ve nonetheless
skyrocketed....
The odds are part of a host of “Donald Trump Specials”
offered by the Irish betting house Paddy Power. (Vegas doesn’t let you
bet on anything but sports.) It includes bets that Trump will be
impeached for treason (6/1 odds) and on who his next FBI Director will
be (Trey Gowdy leads with 4/7 odds). On the more soothing side, Paddy
Power has 13/8 odds — 38 percent — that Steve Bannon will be the next one fired from the White House.
Somehow, the whole clusterfuck that is Donald Trump and his presidency have shifte marginally from infuriating to deeply sad in my mind. Here's
the Reuters story.
The emperor's new suit.
