Indeed, it was a GREAT POINT!

R.I.P. Jimmy Carter

Jimmy Carter’s passing creates a vivid comparison for Donald Trump to become president. Thank you, Jimmy, for everything including the thoughtful timing when parting. KO has a nice tribute: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

Good advice. Thank you, George!

Bill Webster was also a US Attorney and a Federal Judge. He left the bench to run the FBI, and then the CIA. Savvy, sound, judicious and only interested in what is best for the USA.

It’s clear from the Gaetz Report that he should’ve already been arrested.

The AATT (the American Autocracy Threat Tracker) — www.justsecurity.org/92714/americ... — is a remarkable and essential resource!

One of the great questions starting Jan 21 is how will Elon and Donald communicate? Trump is all phone. Nothing in writing. Elon isn't going to take 10+ calls a day. I wouldn't be surprised if more than half their communications are via posts on Truth Social and X Literally.

Sad, not to mention deeply troubling!

Yes

I'm just thinking, this whole Trump-Musk thing may not go well.

"Does Musk try to edge Trump aside even as Trump has the Oval Office? Could DOGE replace MAGA as the ascendant authoritarian movement?...Trump seems to be staying awake nights. It has been his movement. He’s Lenin. But Stalin loiters in the wings." www.thebulwark.com/p/worlds-gre...

He can’t do ANYTHING without government funding. The GOP will control Congress — and they cannot agree amongst themselves on the time of day. He cannot force Democrats to help them.

A preview of the coming chaos! He provoked a vote that may closedown the government, with 38 Republicans voting against him notwithstanding his threats against them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

Today, Republicans want to rule, not govern. And they are not good at either.

A predicate for autocracy? bsky.app/profile/nyti...

"I'm not a convicted rapist, l'm a sexual abuser. Give me my $16 million dollars, Mickey, and I demand an apology too."

Rep Dan Goldman on Lawrence just now: “I’m really concerned that Donald Trump is so senile or off, that he is not able to compute what he’s saying.” Trump is incompetent.

Fat Tony Stark secretly loves being called President Musk.
