🤣 So true! But it does make one wonder about his blood pressure and how his bouts of anger impact his heart. I'm frankly surprised he's still alive, given all we've heard about his health, diet, and lack of exercise. He's gotta be on several medications.

Gawd, wouldn't it be great to have him hooked up to a blood pressure monitor with the readings projected on a big screen?! 🍿 Heck, that alone could become a pay-per-view thing.

It IS incredible! A truly dark time in the history of civilization. And the speed with which this administration has been able to inflict serious damage on both the country and the world has been horrifying to behold.

I'd love to see an economist publicly really nail him down for all the economic details of how this would happen, play by play.

Is Clemens a worthy recipient? The award is for "acts of courage and self-sacrifice." Great baseball pitcher, no doubt, although not without controversy. But how is Clemens worthy of this award? Genuine question.

I was kinda surprised: for a guy's who's so media savvy, he's just standing there like he's zoned-out and helpless.

I would just love an economist to interview him on public media and ask him to spell out ALL the details of how this depression is going to unfold if the Dems win. Keeping pinning him for economic details and don't let him get away with his god-awful word salads. It would be a thing to behold.

000

First time I think I've ever heard 'violent' and 'beautiful' used together like this. More evidence that he has psychopathic or sociopathic tendencies.

No sane leader would phrase things this way: "... let them take out San Diego ...." This is just demented, from a weak, weak man who seems to be itching to raise the stakes. Horrible languaging. Horrible diplomacy. Horrible leadership.

Chances of Quebec separating: pretty slim. PQ doesn't have a majority, so needs other MNAs to approve referendum. And Quebec separating and becoming possibly more vulnerable to a Trump-shaped America? Most Québécois know a bad deal when they see it.

I'd love to have a 1st year undergrad biz class do an analysis of the feasibility of America cutting off all trade with other nations, especially if they were studying macroeconomics. What fun! Even better, divide the class into those in favor of the idea and those opposed and have them debate. 🍿🍿

Another example of Bhattacharya speaking and behaving malevolently. Gosh, who knew we academics never had academic freedom until the Trump admin came along! 😵‍💫🥴🙃

Indeed. I'm willing to bet if you asked him to draw out basic supply and demand curves--you know, what you learn in the first class of ECON 100--he'd look at you with a blank stare ... and nothing more. Obviously, no one calls him out, but this ignorance has real world consequences--bond markets.

Details, details! Give us the scoop on what transpired! 😀

"I started a completely uncalled-for war with Iran and so far the entire world hasn't be obliterated because of my reckless stupidity (even though the war has led to horrendous suffering) ... so I deserve the Nobel Peace Prize." My attempt to make it make sense.

The fact that no one in the entire administration can correct him on his ignorance of the basics of economics--this first month ECON 100 material--is truly abysmal.

I agree. This is an example, as you suggest, where his garbled thinking and words can be easily and understandably misconstrued; moreover, this was an example where such confused, garbled speech can have truly serious consequences. What kinds of crazy might he have said when meeting world leaders?

Let's be clear: you DID terrible things to all three of them. Your treatment of them has been horrible, far beneath the dignity of your office. And then you invoke the divine right of kings, talking about the 'sacred' office you hold? Claiming you can do anything you want? Danger, danger!

000

Fair enough. I just replied because I respect him and his work, a lot.

000

A whole year! Way back when! Wow! I thought the road salt reply was a bit weak but this is just embarrassing.

051

??? Perhaps you weren't aware: he has made 22 (!) visits to the U.S. in the past 18 months, as well as two trips to Ukraine. The guy's got gonads. snyder.substack.com/p/last-years... yaledailynews.com/articles/sny...

She'll have to ask The Donald, the genius of quantum superposition. Only he can be and not be ....

Exactly what the postmodernists and poststructuralists would say. Who knew Donald was not only a genius when it came to quantum superposition but also with respect to these philosophical concepts. He's deep, I tell you! The exemplar of Super Intelligence!

And clear. Only a stable genius like him, the epitome of Super Intelligence, could understand this.

000

Right on! Well played! The mind boggles thinking of all the quantum possibilities.

000

Right on, Jeff. Me me me me me me me ... It's all he knows.

000

Quick, someone tell the Nobel committee! Give the guy a Peace Prize! Heck, give him a couple!

000

They will be two notable figures in American history ... who did more to damage America (and the world) than anyone else, by far.

And it's because, as the world's most intelligent person, he can only think of a single cause for everything, and that happens to be those people of color he deems to be so horrible. It's mind boggling to think of all the horrific damage he has done, nationally and internationally, since 2025.

000

The tragedy is that despite the obvious fact that he is declining, they think he's as smart as can be, that he's a great leader, and he's someone who is worth voting for.

The tragedy is that the audience believes him and thinks that a 700% price reduction is both possible and wonderful. So they cheer and clap.

000

Angry, how easy/difficult is it going to be to hide and protect those bombers? B-52s and B2s can't be the easiest things to hide. Some kind of undergrounded or covered protection, I imagine?

000

Who needs AI when you have Super Intelligence™️ like this!

000

Um, maybe not the smartest move by Mr. Super Intelligence, since folks will notice the checks haven't arrived when Nov. 3rd rolls around ....

000

It's Super Math, fueled by Super Intelligence ... er, Idiocy.

000

It's Super Math, fueled by Super Intelligence ... er, Idiocy.

Sadly, tragically, these folks will believe this and think the math is right on.

000

Yup. He has been getting away with so much. This kind of corruption will continue, right up until the mid-terms. I also expect various forms of cheating.

Charles Scott @chas0853.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Totally agree. It's a cult. They will vote for him again.

120

🤣🤣 Good one! While he might know Caligula or Nero, I doubt he'd know much about Marcus Aurelius and I kinda doubt he's ever heard of (let alone read) his "Meditations." Hegseth is dangerously weird.

This speech is SO adolescent, which would be bad enough were it not for all the lessons of history that have told us where this all leads to.

000

Gosh, speaking of the philosophy of anthems, er, Athens, Aristotle has quite a few things to say about peace, the well-ordered polis, and eudaimonia ... (Nichomachean Ethics) Wonder if he might be interested in talking about all that sometime ....

Hmm, I'd love to sit down with him and have a conversation about the philosophy of 'anthems,' er, Athens. We could start with Plato's Republic, his Symposium, and Apology. Then we'd move on to Aristotle's Nichomachean Ethics. We could also talk about the foci of the various other Greek schools ....
