In the 2000s, just ten percent of Americans believed the government was doing a poor job on economic policy. Today, that's 64%, higher than at any point in our history, beating the oil shocks, wage and price controls, the great inflation, any major recession, financial crisis or pandemic.

Two rarities:
Bannon saying something truthful.
Bannon admitting the MAGA regime are criminals.
There will be trials.

Early-stage autocracy. 🇺🇸
Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

Never in my life did I imagine we'd have a sitting president say we had Darth Vader in the audience, and then some guy would actually stand up and acknowledge that he was Darth Vader. What on Earth is happening in this country? It's mass psychosis.
Trump: "We have Darth Vader. You know Darth Vader, right? Darth Vader is a man who is sitting -- is that Darth? Stand up please. Does everybody know -- they call him Darth Vader, I call him a fine man. But he's cutting Democrat priorities and they're never gonna get them back."

Hasan: The great irony is of course that Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. The grandson of an immigrant and married to an immigrant. In fact two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do.

Because of Trump's inflation causing high costs of living, Americans are putting more debt than ever onto their credit cards. US household credit card debt hit a record $1.33 trillion in August.
A reckoning is coming, and none of us will enjoy how hard that zeitgeist pendulum swings.
