The President needs Wins, Attention, Flattery and Gifts
Want advantageous U.S. relationships? Give Trump a $4,000,000 airplane. Want a pardon? Agree he won the 2020 election. Want a good job? Follow VP Vance’s lead. Say he deserves the Prize. The self-demeaning members of his Cabinet agree.

As more masked ICE agents make arrests without due process, peaceful protests will grow. Trump will declare an “insurrection” that allows him to send troops to “guard” voting facilities. Their presence will discourage the ill, aged and minorities states target when making it more difficult to vote.

Dems don’t need to keep saying how bad Trump is. They need a plan for addressing the issues that resulted in his election.

AI “agents” are the latest frenzy. Following the path of self-driving vehicles, they are likely to be reliable this year for the next decade or two. I won’t be giving one carte blanche with a credit card to book reservations for my Christmas trip. @ai @aiagents

Trump commands the world's largest economy and most potent military, more power than anyone has ever had before, but not enough to satisfy his insatiable, egomaniacal thirst for more. So he ignores the annoying Constitutional checks and balances his idols Putin and Xi don’t have to put up with.

It’s unfair that the 1% have more than the bottom 90%, and also economically inefficient and socially destabilizing. The budget bill perversely makes it worse. It benifits the wealthy, reduces critical government services to those most in need and increases the budget deficit by $4.1 trillion.

The flagrant incompetence of Trump appointments so readily confirmed by the Senate have already increaased our risk of inadequate responses to natural disasters, major disease outbreaks, faster global warming and a conflict with escalation to nuclear exchanges.

There are many bugs in the million lines of computer code of an AI app. Even with detailed design, the best of intentions, and great skill, a software engineer can't anticipate every path software may take when rearranging the words in a huge training database. Hallucinations are inevitable. @AI

The U.S.’s processing of roughly a third of recyclable waste is more than the average of other countries. But that’s nothing to brag about because we far exceed the norm at waste generation (especially if you include politicians).

Founders named us United. A more accurate name today would be the Disunited States of America thanks to the broken election system created by Justice Roberts with Citizens United vs FEC, McCutcheon vs, FEC, and a free pass for even the most obviously outrageous partisan gerrymandering.
