How to succeed in business without really trying? Keep paying your dues at Mar-A-Lago and glue yourself to the condiment station whenever the old man throws one of his shindigs.
In other words, the opportunist pariahs of neoliberal commerce who are otherwise unable or unwilling to make a go of it without kissing the ring.

For DJT himself, it absolutely is.
Trump values everything by its extractive potential. For women (and girls!) this means their potential to please him sexually. For men, it’s their ability to serve him or make him richer. For countries, it’s resources. - this is what makes VZ the ultimate prize.

The amount of “this is clearly about oil” posting across all platforms as story after story comes out where the oil industry is saying that the oil isn’t worth extracting is making me feel a little insane

Tony Dokupil's last name sounds like an injectable Russian street drug that turns your veins into a wet paper straw.
First minute of Tony Dokoupil's debut as CBS anchor is pure Trump propaganda, showing only celebration of Trump's kidnapping, plus illiterate grammar: "Commandos raiding his compound before dawn grabbing he and his wife in their pajamas."
No, Tony, grabbing *him*.
He's all jaw.

All of the post-Maduro-kidnapping Venezuela plans they thought they'd put into motion never made it outside the collective K-hole that is the White House-Maralago-Pentagon-Foggy Bottom quadrangle.
So nothing they just said in that press holds any water, they are just winging it

Truly bizarre press conference under way. Trump claims the US will rule Venezuela for now--but no details. Actually, the Venezuelan military is now in charge and there seems to be no plan to get rid of them. And all the blame is being put on Maduro (and his wife).

Aside from everything else, one of the prerequisites of the US "running" Venezuela would be somehow neutralizing the estimated 30,000 agents of the Cuban government who operate there. via Phillips O'Brien:

Beyond this slop being legible to only a tiny cohort of twisted rot-brains, the takeaway for everyone else is that we're nearly a full year in and these morons spend an ungodly amount of time complaining about how ineffectual they are at governing.
you genuinely have to wonder if the governments of the future only get more online from here on

To these troglodytes the very concept of "a city" is wholly incomprehensible and must, by its abhorrent and aberrant nature, be some kind of liberal conspiracy.
Trump guys are about to Comet Pizza every third daycare center because they think they are all fronts for Somali money laundering. They're only doing this near cities with progressive mayors. This is straight up Government by LibsOfTikTok.

Indeed, seems like they are finally losing whatever remaining control they still had over the Epstein situation and the bad stuff is starting to surface
Merry Christmas, Mr. President!

This drip-feed is the worst possible scenario for Trump.
Second big batch of Epstein files includes many mentions of Trump — The Washington Post
After a first batch of Epstein document had few mentions of President Donald Trump, the Justice Department disclosed thousands more with many references to the president.

"Whatever you do, do not let her around any of these men, and especially my husband [Donald J Trump.]"
Holy. Fucking. Shit.

Feels to me like the last quote here is more devastating and incriminating than even the birthday book and the photos and the rest.
These are the people who are willing to go on the record.

You really gotta hand it to Trump. Only he could insert himself in the story of the murder of a beloved Hollywood icon and wind up a more universally reviled character than the actual murderer

Hot Take: 'stealing healthcare' is literally impossible and anyone making this kind of claim merely proves they're devoid of the capacity to care for other living things.
This is not normal, and continued and ever-increasing rhetoric like this should not be treated as normal. #holdfast #steadystate

Two takes on this:
1 - NYT must be close to dropping something big and he's furious about it
2 - His fixation on "slowing up" tells me someone around him absolutely uses that phrase to soften the blow of his failing cognitive exams

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.
