This interview is clearly revealing a man who is insane and it’s just not registering at all.

On CNBC, Donald Trump just said that he expected the stock markets to be down 20% and oil to be trading at $200 as a result of this war.

So, we should congratulate him because it’s is the downturn has not been as bad as he planned?

Masterful gambit, sir.

Good to see INDOPACOM still getting work in this economy

Tom Steyer: What is the symbol he draws on his hand? Tom Steyer's scribbles have historic significance - and a murkier modern-day meaning.

TIL that Tom Steyer has worn the Jerusalem Cross on his left hand since 2017.

And here's how a scholar of medieval crusade imagery, who was previously interviewed about Hegseth's tattoos, has interpreted Steyer's Jerusalem Cross

So, it’s a doodle? So it’s like he reinvented the Cool S?

I’ve actually talked to him about it! religionnews.com/2020/01/31/s...

lol, the first person my mind went to about this news was @bencollins.bsky.social.

Congrats to John Apple on the big promotion!

From Res Publica to the United States of Trump This president's vulgar self-glorification is revolting to a self-governing people and must not stand

A deep dive on the history of our Roman-inspired republican symbolism and why Trump's desecrations of it are worse than merely being cringe-inducing.

I have an idea for how America can embrace its history of Roman-inspired republicanism.

In this case, there really is one neat trick...

Full on eugenics gutter racism.

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars.

There's just gotta be a line somewhere.

Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

Sure, big guy. Sure. Keep telling yourself that.

lol suck it.

Trump Is dooming his party to a midterm blowout It's almost as though he wants Republicans to lose.

At this point, Republicans in tight races might be asking themselves, "Does Trump WANT us to lose?"

My latest at Public Notice, on how difficult he's making life for his party:

Front cover of REBELLION DONALD TRUMP AND THE ANTILIBERAL TRADITION IN AMERICA By Robert Kagan

"A concise but thorough tour through the influence of American liberalism's malign twin.... Kagan manages to diagnose both the acute and chronic nature of our present crisis." -Liberal: Currents Could the 2024 election have been the last free election held in a unified America? Published in the run-up to Donald Trump's victory, Rebellion sounded a chilling and clear-eyed warning about the threats posed to American democracy by the increasingly radicalized Republican Party. With the Trump administration in place and attempting a systematic dismantling of the traditionally liberal principles on which America was founded, Robert Kagan's lessons and insights have become only more urgent. Kagan dives deeper than the op-eds and think pieces to explore the historical forces that brought us to a second Trump term-in particular the long history of opposition to liberalism, and to govern-ment, that has shaped America's character from the time of the Rev-olution. Trump's unique capacity to tap into that tradition of dissent and circumvent the American system has brought us to the edge of dissolution-not for the first time but possibly for the last. Rebellion is an elegant and deeply informed synthesis of history, contemporary politics, and ideas that sheds light on this crucial moment. "Comprehensive and compelling." -Washington Independent Review of Books

Pretty cool to have my @liberalcurrents.com review of Robert Kagan’s Rebellion featured on the back cover

I believe they also didn't have passengers.

This actually is something they tell you in management consulting and, for that job (and for your specific reasoning), it is correct.

The thing about this quote is: It's from before the Information Age merged with the Space Age. It used to be that you couldn't do your job from the airport unless your job was at the airport. Now, most people who would take this advice have a job they can very easily do at the airport.

*Almost*... it's attributed to Nobel Prize winner George Stigler not Robert Barro but you're directionally correct. bsky.app/profile/crai...

Crediting this axiom to from a Nobel Prize-winning economist to Josh Barro is particularly ironic given that being given credit for the accomplishments of an economist who is not himself has been Barro's entire career trajectory.

Hard disagree.

Trump, who said in the 2024 campaign that Kamala Harris would start World War 3, compares his war against Iran to World War II

Just like WWII, except this time the U.S. did a Pearl Harbor on Iran.

Infowars/Onion combo logo in rainbow saying “I support the onion’s hostile media takeover.”

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

If they had RCV it would fix this problem and also make everything better.

It’s a blockade functioning normally but it’s also not a normal blockade (it’s an illegal blockade).

My Popular with Friends tab is 100% The Onion buys Infowars posts.

That’s a lot of words to say not a damn thing, Mr. President.
