This is the funniest story ever. The Pentagon seriously thought they were doing regime change, protecting infrastructure to help Iran’s next leaders. And then the Israelis tell them, “no no this is just a great wreckage of the country we’re doing together.” And we are like, “oh ok”.

Greenland is already protected under NATO. There is no security crisis there, unless Trump decides to create one by confronting Denmark.

Like software, healthcare is moving to a “subscription” model. You don’t own Microsoft Office, you subscribe to it. You are never cured, you pay a monthly fee to stay healthy.

On the other hand, I’m comfortable with people getting $1200 a month from Social Security deciding how much of his $360 billion Elon Musk should give up.

On the plus side, this is a real opportunity for Macron and France to earn huge brownie points with Trump. Is anyone else thinking what I’m thinking?
