As skeets go, this aged better than I could have ever hoped

Trump "both sides" the Russian Invasion of Ukraine "Trump said he would be willing to punish both countries if he did not believe they were sincere about peace. “It could be on both countries to be honest,” Trump said. “You know, it takes two to tango....” 🙃 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Three cheers for two authoritarians talking. This always ends well.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social : "Matt Grossman of the Wall Street Journal reported today that economists no longer trust the accuracy of the government’s inflation data" Markets crash when truths go undetected. Accurate, timely data helps avoid crashes. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/june-4-2025

"We cannot allow ourselves to . . . once again fall for the fallacy that the storm will pass. That things will go back to how they were before: if only the war would end, or a tariff deal be struck, or the next elections... No, they will not.” EC President Ursula von der Leyen on.ft.com/43tHfvZ

I'm watching an old interview of Jack Matlock, last US Ambassador to the Soviet Union as he discusses SDI as a semi-scam that allowed Russia to save face while disarming and then think about Trump's Iron Dome... youtu.be/mRO9WcSgNvQ?...
