Given the regularity of leaks and insider trading with this “administration”, I wonder if the relatively late-breaking significant uptick in the markets is a tell-tale that a new bout of “TACOing” is afoot. Thought?

Our authoritarianism is run on clichés borrowed from the Eastern Europe of twenty years ago. Paid protestors, disloyal cities, evil Soros, vast conspiracies — it was all tiresome then and there, and now it’s pathetic.

After his trial runs in LA and DC, Trump is now reportedly planning to permanently keep 600 National Guard troops on standby to deploy into any American city facing protests.  This is the stuff fascism is made of.

OMG, we needed that. The Polish Foreign Minister's speech in the U.N. yesterday is the strongest, most ‘efficient’, in parts even poetic, political rhetoric I have heard for decades. Thank you, Radek.
