What are the chances that Republicans stop worrying about Covid and Communism the second week of November? They are running a full throated campaign against ghosts. That’s their best platform. Covid and Communists.

Forget all these generations, Boomers, X, Millennials, Z, etc. I have a much easier system, much more binary. You have seen an episode of Gilligan’s Island, or you haven’t. That leaves us with Generation G, and Generation Not-G.

Talking to the deli guy about Trump napping at the Knicks game. “Unlike Biden, Trump works hard all night. So I’m okay if he sleeps through unimportant stuff. He works on the big stuff at night. That’s just how he gets it done.”

The Trump administration and its cronies have made us safe from Colbert, 60 Minutes, and Leslie Stall. The hard work is done.

National Security cannot determine an "imminent threat" - only the gut feeling in the lower GI track of POTUS can do that. - Heaven help us.

The United States, where POTUS has a private definition of unconditional surrender that doesn’t include surrender and has only symbolic conditions. And those conditions are in his “bones”

We have entered a war where the DOD (or war?) has no victory conditions or public objectives. Is it regime change? Unconditional surrender? We have a war without a why.

So according to Sec. Hegseth this war (operation) is 47 years of retribution free of politically correct restraints. Stripping the political content out of his briefing we are left with Epic Fury is necessary because past administrations have failed to Epic Fury to deny Iran Nuclear clear arms.

Greatest deliberative body in the world, and they refuse to deliberate on a war they have the votes for. These were the exact sentiments for the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution for Vietnam in 1964. This is your Republican Senate Today. Refusing to be a co-equal branch of government.

53 missing pages from DOJ on Epstein/Trump. Kind of sounds like the 18 minutes missing from the Nixon tapes.

Personally I am happy to pay for cabinet level perks like Kash Patel flying to Milan to investigate domestic crime and Epstein stuff even if it takes him to swigging beer in an Olympic locker room. Don’t we feel safer with this man out of country. Investigating, well, you know, crime.

The independence of the Federal Reserve underpins both the U.S. financial system and global trust in it. Losing that independence would be costly.

Trump certainly can bring a majority together. Uniting India, China, Russia, (and Iran with it) against the US is Nobel prize winning work.

So a million little steely barbs in the BBB. 1% Remittance tax on money sent abroad. Careful if you have a US/Canada business, or you are paid in US and work abroad. (But a least Trump stuck it to our immigrant population helping out Mom and Dad.)
