Occam's Razor cuts both ways...

🤯... 💯for sharing, @joshtpm.bsky.social , but the highlighted phrase is just another peek at the twisted mind of the author... humor, perhaps, but there is no solace from knowing what MTG still defends than there is from watching JDV position himself as a more articulate version of DJT.

TRUMP: We’re going to give Americans the money to buy health insurance

REPORTER: But won’t they buy it from
Insurance companies?

TRUMP: Ahhh. Some may. I mean they’ll be negotiating prices

How about "willfully ignorant"? 😠
I no longer use "moron"

So I will not say that a person—a Fed governor!!—who claims that immigration has been a major source of housing inflation is "a moron."

Instead I'll say that he is "uninformed" about home-construction biz, median rent or purchase prices from immigrants, etc

Also, a bigot.
Fed Governor Stephen Miran: "Cutting down net migration to 0, potentially even negative because of the deportations that have been occurring, I think is very deflationary."

Someone is clearly trying to position himself as a more articulate if equally ignoble Mad King...

... and considering the next post in this timeline, perhaps JD has his PressSec lined up already.

h/t @jfallows.bsky.social for both
If Vance believes this, he is an idiot.
(Hint: The most inflated real estate is !!!NOT!!! where immigrants are concentrated.)

If he knows how stupid this argument is, he's a tool.

Take your pick.

In his defense, he once called Trump "America's Hitler."
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

To be fair to serious real estate developers... 🤯

Thank you, @theauthorguy.bsky.social
Westfield Center in downtown San Francisco is mostly vacant, too, but not because of crime. Because of Amazon. How is he in commercial real estate and not know this? Then again, he's president and doesn't understand how tarriffs or buying groceries works.
November 11, 2025 at 6:25 PM
So, what's likely? Whether 300B or 3T, will he order the importers be reimbursed and then "hope" consumers who paid for the tariffs will see some of that?

In any case, he's setting the stage for another Big Lie when recessionary numbers and unemployment become even more obvious.

😠
Oh, so he totally stole the money

Any bets on how long it will be until the WH revives the "well regulated Militia" language in the 2A to justify the power to *deny* the right to bear arms to some individuals and groups?

On The Gateway Pundit's podcast yesterday, Stewart Rhodes announced he's relaunching the Oath Keepers

He also urged Trump to “call us up as a militia" & "order us all to come together in our counties under his command."

Agree with this.

About to publish something on the airplane mess. But this too is ON THE REPUBS. It is not a reason to cave. Dems, it is a time to keep standing up.
Opening the government with no concessions from GOP merely to alleviate airline cancellations - when Congress has been dragging its feet for years on chronic FAA staffing issues - is a lame ass choice.

Also, doing it while the House refuses to work is appalling.

PS: thanks for your insights on the growing snafu in air travel. Now doubt here that the controllers will try to keep things flowing, but they cannot be expected to be indifferent to their depleted bank accounts as their pay is withheld...
I have questions.

How does anyone make a million dollars out of a $55K a year job? Much less 20 mil?

Why are a bunch of people dependent on the Federal Government for jobs voting for Congressmen that can't get a Bill passed? Reps. that "hate" government?

I guess they don't listen to the lyrics.

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107.

12 days of work in 107 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

While having no doubt as to your preference, any of these outcomes seems possible... or perhaps just more stalling by Mike Johnson.

Trump and Johnson do NOT want the House back at work at all.

Thank you, @stevevladeck.bsky.social, for this and what you do when serious rather than sarcastic...

... though I would not put it past the Speaker to claim exactly that and then run from the microphones.
Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

The result is generous, original, and fascinating—de-emphasizing the stories of the so-called Founding Fathers, and forwarding those of ordinary people, some of whom made constitutions of their own. We the People is also profoundly, indeed joyously, subversive.

@murray.senate.gov: "Why does the President have zero clue about one of the most corrupt pardons he's made so far? Donald Trump is a crook, whether he knows it or not."

Worse yet, DJT then explains his sons are in the crypto "business" with C.Z. and implies that this is why he was pardoned...
O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?

TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is

O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.

TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

To people of Canada: "Real" Americans are ashamed of this guy, and whole obscene squad he is part of.

I grew up w LA Dodgers and was cheering for them. But this was closest, most dramatic Series in years. And for-real illustration of cliche "It's too bad either team has to lose."

Grrrr
BREAM: How do trade talks get back on with Canada?

BESSENT: We'll see. This is very serious. The prime minister of Ontario, who I imagine is smarting quite a bit from the Blue Jays loss, spent $75 million interfering in US public policy. A price has got to be paid for this.
