Although, it could end up being true. If he loses control of Congress, there will have to be a radical change in what they are doing in the Persian Gulf.

I used to live in the greater New York area at the time and work right near the WTC. It was obvious that the air was toxic. I used to play football with some local lads at Battery Park City. Obviously nobody was really in the mood to play regularly in the aftermath but the smell annd air quality in the area was telling.

Market appears to be calling Bessent’s bluff. The critical 10-year yield ended yesterday having nudged above 4.85%, and crept higher to 4.88% in overnight trading. At North American open, it plunged downward to 4.79% on what was almost certainly US government buyback transactions, then immediately spiked over 4.9% and seems to be semi-stable there. The problem will be Trump is not semi-stable.

For context, a 0.01% increase in yields cost the US government just under $4 billion of interest.

The suggestion that every American is going to get a $5000 payment if the election goes in Trump’s favour is probably not much of a help, given that the US would have to borrow that money. With 200M or so taxpayers, that would be another trillion of spending.

What Andreesson had been saying on his podcast tour was so obviously bullshit, but this is a textbook Biden administration response to let shit heads slander you with stuff that is patently bollocks but still somehow is moving the needle in public discourse and do nothing about it until it is way too late

Führereid too, lol (but for unfathomably dumb and extraordinary vulgar americans instead of soldiers).

But, can the imbecile explain to us what a Führerprinzip is and how it actually works? (rethorical question ofc).

If Adolf Hitler was a slob of a demented imbecile with Swiss cheese for brains, he could have said this if he was 13 years old.

Trump some how, always, manage to remind you how much more serious historical villains that we often deem “crazy”, were in comparison. That’s not good, I would rather laugh at Hitler, but he was an absolute genious with 0 delusions compared to Trump.

I am starting to think we have crossed the point where Caligula would have been remarkably sane in comparison.

As with most things Trump, the insanity of this story just wont register, but this is an absolute bombshell

DiGenova is a Trump fanatic who inserted himself into Trump’s defense during the period o the Muller investigation, having previously been an independent on the outside criticizing the DoJ for what he was (falsely) claiming was a partisan witch hunt.

Republicans celebrating the anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s death by scheduling a conference conflicting with Kirk focused events TPSUA were planning forcing them to cancel, and then remembering that they do in fact think that violent rhetoric has a place in their politics

Skipping a 9/11 service to attend a political rally is the sort of thing that would have dominated news cycles in the past. Remember this for the next time Republicans get upset about Dems doing politics and the press pretend to believe their outrage is real
