What I cannot understand is why so many people think that Trump works for the US when he all along shows that he works for his family and friends and nobody else.

Donald is worried that the price of diesel is hurting his poll numbers. Solution? Give Russia money to murder and kidnap Ukrainian children! He’s so selfless that way.

Trump tells Russia he will lift sanctions and buy lots of Russian oil. Of course, Putin responds to the influx of American money by refusing to negotiate the end of his attack on Ukraine. Then Trump tells Ukraine they need a different president. No, we do! www.nytimes.com/2026/10/10/w...

Trump in a panic. He fucked up with Iran and attacked them without a plan to put a friendly flag in Tehran or a plan to control the Strait of Hormuz. It bit him the ass. Now he thinks "I need to find oil" -> Russia. Putin more than happy to sell. Putin won't stop until he owns Baltic States.

The crowd’s at Trump’s staged events are getting smaller and smaller. Probably why they’re holding them in high school gymnasiums. A rally deep in the red state of Tennessee was overshadowed by the copious amounts of empty seats.

Comedian and Trump-hater Cliff Cash shows us how it’s done. Visiting politicians where they work is the correct approach. I love how he’s calm while calling Trump a pedo and lecturing them on not supporting a dying child-rapist. And he’s not afraid of profanity. That’s the fuck how you do it. &:^)

Just read it. Bessent wrote Warren a letter
DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
WASHINGTON, D.C.
October 9, 2026
The Honorable Elizabeth Warren
United States Senate
Washington, DC 20510
Dear Senator Warren:
Thave received your October 7 letter, which adds to the mounting body of evidence of your complete paucity of knowledge about financial markets. Rather than take my suggestion of studying introductory economics, you have continued your letter-writing crusade and participation in tabloid fodder about the Treasury Department.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to treat your concerns as sincere. As the federal funds rate climbed from near zero to its highest level in 22 years, with inflation hitting a 40-year high, you were a cheerleader for the Biden Administration's reckless spending. You blamed the economic consequences on the Federal Reserve, rather than your own irresponsible fiscal policies. Your view of the economy depends on who occupies the White House, but your woeful understanding of the issues is consistent.
The "interventions" you describe as "unprecedented" have been underway since May 2024. The buyback program has been well received by market participants in bolstering Treasury liquidity, which reduces market volatility, increases the convenience yield of Treasury securities and ensures the best value for the taxpayer. The continued enhancements optimize Treasury market liquidity in primary and secondary markets. The U.S. Treasury market's liquidity and performance versus global peers is evidence.
While you voted for a $5 trillion tax hike on everyday Americans, the Working Families Tax Cuts continue to deliver for families and workers across the country. The average refund this filing season was over $3,400, an increase of 11 percent over the previous year. More than 30 million workers claimed No Tax on Overtime, more than 7 million claimed No Tax on Tips, and more than 37 million seniors claimed their enhanced deduction. More than 34 million families claimed the permanently enhanced Child Tax Credit, and …These results are made possible by the employees of the Department of the Treasury, who are working around the clock for the American people. Unsurprisingly, you have responded by criticizing their dedication and aptitude for the job in a recent interview.' Despite your malign characterization, the Domestic Finance team you alluded to in your interview is fully staffed relative to historical levels. It is ironic that you have voted against every presidential appointee for a position at Treasury, no matter how impressive the qualifications for the role. Given your newfound interest in Department personnel, I challenge you to reverse course and thoughtfully engage with future nominees and support their confirmation.
Finally, my offer of a Foreign Exchange for Dummies tutorial still stands and if you receive a passing grade on the Yale metric, not the Harvard curve, I would be happy to also include a Fixed Income for Dummies.
Sincerely,
Aver Bout
Happy Indigenous Peoples'
Say in advance to you and your family.
