Driver of the shutdown - that special friendship!

Every stumble and slow, stuttering utterance by Biden was attacked or ripped apart by the MSM. But not a word on crazy delusional, sick Trump telling generals to use US cities as training grounds - not a single word in anger. I this is what SNAFU now looks like in a once "sane" country.

picked up off Facebook - couldn't have said it better myself -

DODGE: Active Starlink terminals ...and yet no shutdown orders, no rollbacks and no accountability. Instead, increased budget and expansion through 2026

Ceasefire agreement which Iran's Foreign Minister denies? No, more like market manipulation time.

Excellent article from Chris Schecter at blueamp@substack.com on Trumps determination to incite violence:

He brought us out of an economic recession, gave millions of Americans access to healthcare, + ended the war w Iraq killing Bin Laden. White America hated his #BlackExcellence so much they elected facism.

And just like that, U.S. forces are involved.

Wow - TACO looking for paid seat fillers for his parade:

Well, well, it seems that Zelensky had some cards after all. The look on TACO's face when he was informed of the successful attack would have been priceless.

A perfect explanation of US fiscal abuse and profligacy which it and the rest of the world is about to reckon with.

For how long are the GOP going to tolerate a delusional narcissist as POTUS who really does not understand basic international trade?

Well, this moment in history is a living example of how great powers fail from the inside.

Well, they are walking it (tariffs) back. The markets are slowly but surely bringing Trump to heel. And of course, key trading partners know the score and are resisting the bullying and corruption.

It seems that the choice is impeachment or lose the Republic. What's it going to be America? What's it going to be GOP?

Looks like those Japanese bond holders had enough, dumped (10yr rate up) and Trump's hand was forced (blinked). This is not how markets should work. Can someone just use the 25th and put us out of our misery. Or just maybe the GOP can grow a spine!

The only rationale for Trump is both GREED (grift and funding tax cuts) and doing Putin's bidding. History is going to be cruel on all of his enablers

If this Administration does not get sensible adults in the room to course correct, then the elephant in the room viz bond holders will come into play. The Orange Turd and his oligarchy bros have forgotten that there is no such thing as a free lunch.
This time Diaper Don will not hold the cards!
