We all know that eventually Gunther will be arrested with a male hooker in the back of a tapped out van. Seems inevitable.

“He’s gotta resign. … We have to let our own people and everybody else know why it had to be done—because of what’s on the tape, because he lied.” — White House speechwriter Patrick J. Buchanan to White House chief of staff Alexander M. Haig, August 2, 1974

I think he wants low interest rates to boost investment in equities, which he thinks is the measure of the health of the economy. So, in short, he’s a moron, but maybe for a different reason beyond not understanding economics and trade.

I have a sense that we're right at the pivot point where a lot of stupid stuff is going to happen, but will lead to the downfall of the oligarchs/Trump. It's going to get seriously spicy and that will turn even more people against them -- especially those near power who sense the ship is going down.

A DHS insider says officers were told to check a box claiming to be the voter, so they could open people's voter records. 40 names a day. Shaky data. Anyone flagged got a federal file…citizens included. It's an allegation. DHS hasn't answered.

Let’s see. There are about 270 million adults in the United States. So Trump is offering $1.35 trillion in government money as a bribe to vote for Republicans. Sounds legit, legal and totally doable.

On Labor Day, remember that as a developer, @realDonaldTrump would only use non union laborers, often failed to pay them for their work & violated contractual agreements. As POTUS, he's weakened workers' rights, union & non-union. He has the worst job growth history since Hoover.

MLB owners say they need a salary cap, which will hold payrolls down, leaving more money for them. A team about to finish under .500 for the 11th consecutive season and that hasn’t won a postseason game since 2009 is going to be sold for $4B. Nobody cries poverty like ultra-rich white men.

People are falling for the DSA vs Establishment trap again. Didn’t we learn our lesson in 2016 and 2024? It’s the establishment’s job to build a coalition that can win EVERYWHERE. In some places, that means ultra-progressive. In others, it means establishment. The tent is big enough for all of us.
