It’s worth remembering that Germany has refused to send Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine for more than a year. Europe actually needs to do stuff, not just jabber.

Not enjoying this new presidency, but there are some stinky ends on the USAID money flows. That was our tax money to aid those less well off in this world. Did much of this money leave the country and it’s top income bracket?

Team Blue love distractions. It allows us not to focus on what we need to focus on in the lead up to 2026 and 2028.

Team Blue getting distracted once again. There will be mountains of this sort of thing to keep Team Blue’s eye off the ball over the next 4 years.

This is what Trump is on about. Does not want to see Europe split off one by one to China. The Spanish should speak to their Germans and see how the China relationship worked out for them.

I had an afternoon nap and woke up to see if this had in fact been part of the dream where Winona Ryder had proposed marriage to me. Alas not. And no proposal either. A Gin & Tonic calls to me.

How to make cash vis a vis future decisions without taking "bribes": start a meme coin which donors can pump start a foundation - take donations have a family member create and sell art Too hard? Then just "make trades on inside information received as a federal politician".

Please Team Blue, stop all the wallowing. Trump will be a disaster = generational Blue opportunity. 2026 then 2028.

The other thing we can celebrate tomorrow is Davos. The world’s super rich and upper echelons of the PMC getting together to decide how to carve up the turkey … uhh I mean solve the world’s problems.

Bosses are nice and cuddly during labor shortages. Like “male feminists”, treat the “enlightened boss” with extreme cynicism.

Citizens United = Billionaires United. This was a disaster decision. As its impact was in third or fourth order consequences, little attention paid to it. This allowed billionaires to buy democracy. And don’t kid yourself that it is just GOP.

Perhaps we could return to a time honoured practise of listening to both points of view and using that grey lump in our skulls to draw our own reasoned conclusions and then to see if that maps to how things unfold. Rinse, repeat. Don't believe anyone. Treat them as inputs only.

Christopher is spot on here. If I were an oligarch I would be encouraging the theology wars. Wake up left. Forget Foucault, remember Marx.

I am loving the celebration of David Lynch on this timeline today. Keep it coming, everyone. He made a mockery of Twain's observation that “truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't.”

As sure as shit and taxes. Everything will cost more a year from now: - commodities being hoarded (especially energy) - China breaking supply chains - cold war - keeping interest rates low for boomer property portfolios Build your plans around things costing more and being less available.

Imagine how a business goes when it blames its declining sales on the stupidity of its customers. The product/marketing teams won't talk to customers because "we know what they want, even if they don't know it". Imagine that business in a party and its base ....

Presidents do not control the money. And as many executive leaders stretching back to the Kings and Queens of England have found almost 1,000 years ago - it is “grievances before supply”.

He has no such control. You might find that the top 5 to 10 senators regard Trump as their peer, not their chief. Cocaine Mitch has his own agenda. Even LBJ commented that he lost power moving from the head of the Senate to being President.

Having watched 45 years of Middle East conflict since I was in my early teens, I can safely say I wouldn’t be in too much of a hurry to be taking credit for this. This could fall apart very easily. It usually does.

You have been the president for years and your farewell speech complains about a few things you had every opportunity to fix as President (eg stock trading). Not the socialist President we wanted.

If it is open, it is under attack. Both Russia and China play in this space. They are working on sowing disunity. Ukraine invasion a direct attack on Europe, a fact that Europe is just waking up to.

These are all very good although be a bit careful with that last one. There is a bit of nuance between in the course of office and outside of Presidential business.

When there is an Inquiry into the LA fires, be sure to look at how a private equity group has rolled up the fire truck manufacturing industry –– making it harder and more expensive for fire departments to maintain and replace aging fire-truck fleets.
