Well, when you put it like that… (From @cjcmichel’s indispensable new book “United States of Oligarchy: How America’s Wealthiest Ally With Dictators, Weaken the U.S., and Destroy Democracy”)

This is Occam's Razor and maybe Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson are interested in exploring this, since The Mental And Physical Capacity Of Elderly Presidents was, until recently, the defining issue of our politics and our time.

Fun fact: The Sirens Song in Nolan’s Odyssey was originally supposed to be Brandy and Monica’s “The Boy is Mine.”

I spoke to my old friend Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei this morning, the Supreme Leader of Iran. He’s still recovering in the hospital. We talked for just shy of 20 minutes about Israel, Hormuz and The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. I told him we want to see him back at work asap.

Come on, everybody knows James Comey is a big Get Smart fan, and that Don Adams, who played Agent 86, was 47-years-old when the series ended its five-year run in 1970.

It’s a “double-sided ceasefire.” Not the single-sided kind. It has two sides. Twice as many sides. Of ceasefire.

Croesus, renowned for his wealth and power in ancient Greece, and looking to expand both, consulted the Oracle at Delphi before deciding to go to war against Persia. If you do, the Oracle replied, “a great empire will fall.” Croesus marched on Persia, and a great empire fell. His.

There is no excuse for downplaying or eliding the insanity of Trump’s morning post. It is the most unhinged public comment by a president in US history and should be reported and remarked upon as such.

He’s almost 80 and has spent his whole life walking away and leaving others to clean up his messes. He can't do that now, and has no idea what else to do. Other than punish and destroy and kill.

Let's catalogue all of the links between Graham Platner, neo-Nazism, and other extremism that many Democrats are choosing to make excuses for. This should be laid out simply in one place. I literally had to screenshot this because it goes over the character limit.
1- Had a Nazi tattoo for years.
2- Reporting that he knew what it was, called it "my totenkopf," and indications it played a role in his exit from the armed forces.
3- Promotion of the virulently antisemitic
Stew Peters podcast. Appearance on another antisemitic show he alluded to being a fan of.
4- Reddit comments denigrating Blacks, women, and the LGBTQ community.
5- Blackwater tenure and comments defending/praising soldiers who committed war crimes and burnt bodies in the Mideast.

I've had some good laughs over their egocentric stupidity, but the blank, indifferent way that all of these Doge bros answer questions is genuinely chilling. Real Harry Lime "what if one of those dots stopped moving" stuff.
The Ferris wheel scene from THE THIRD MAN, with Orson Welles as Harry Lime. He's turning from the window of the car to speak to Holly Martins (Joseph Cotten), who is not shown.

If Joe Biden's son-in-law was flying around the Middle East as an unofficial Secretary of State while also working on business deals for his company with the same people he was meeting with on behalf of the US government, I'm pretty sure it would be a bigger story 🤔

I am able to walk and chew gum at the same time, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said. "The only thing prohibiting me from walking and chewing gum at the same time is that I'm not able to," he said. "It is possible for me to do so were I capable of doing that."

“More fake news from CNN—reports that the Trump administration underestimated the Iran war’s impact on the Strait of Hormuz,” Hegseth said. “It’s a fundamentally unserious report. The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better.”

For a lot of Iranians, and certainly some if not many American soldiers, it means death and suffering and misery and pain. But glad the politics desks have their eyes on what really matters. Again: we should just abolish politics desks. Cover the substance, not gamified politics.
