Iran tries to buy time with a calculated kabuki dance for the local audience, but unlike their recent similar moves, this one today appears to show such weakness that I don't see how the Israelis don't keep up bombing until there's a regime change, for good or bad

The US is rushing to war with a Sec of Defense more concerned with a makeup room in the DOD than actual military ops, the Director of National Intelligence is a Russian agent, and the Commander in Chief thinks the Declaration of Independence was written after the Civil War. ☢️

"Firefighter arson" is a well-known phenomena where a firefighter (usually volunteer) is actually the firebug who set the fire in order to have the fire brigade then attempt to put it out. You know, just think Trump and LA.

So weird Trump is grabbing tax paying Home Depot day laborers and restaurant busboys in California but not the murderers or rapists he promised, or even grabbing laborers from Missouri or Alabama.

The reason NSA Mike Waltz is likely fired is not because he used Signal, not because of his policy views, but because he had The Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg in his contact list. Don't think the administration cares about anything but leaks.

For some reason Bill Maher was surprised that he found Trump personable in his first meeting. However, demagogues, almost by definition, are dark charismatic leaders. Narcissists at their core, they seduce first, then use the power gained to abuse.

Markets flat this morning just waiting for the next tweet or comment to move them. I've mistakenly thought this recession was not structural like 1929 or 2008, but maybe it actually is. Maybe electing Trump as a wrecking ball should be seen as a structural fatal flaw

Zelensky was going to sign the Minerals memorandum of understanding in DC before he was kicked out of the White House, and then Trump had a one sided final agreement drafted that would indenture Ukraine to the United States in perpetuity. Ukraine won't sign it. No country would.

Like Trump, France’s far-right leader has been found guilty of fraud. Like Trump, authoritarians Putin and Orban support her. She can appeal so we’ll see if the French legal system - unlike the US system - will uphold and enforce the conviction. www.france24.com/en/live-news...

Breaking: A Paris court has convicted far-right figurehead and 2027 presidential frontrunner Marine Le Pen of embezzlement and banned her from running for office. The court is yet to say whether the ban will come into immediate effect, which would block her from winning the presidency in two years.
